Nigel Nigel Nigel

I got it!

I've just caught up. Loved Angela & Carlos, Amanda & Gio, Eddie and Karen (not a 10), Annabel & Johannes, Ellie & Vito and Krishnan and Lauren. Sad for Nigel and Katya, awful music and costumes. Jody and Jowita made me cry, such good storytelling.

Voted Nige for the shocking music and costume combo, Jody and Krishnan

I voted for Amanda, Angela S and Eddie. Loved Krishnan and Ellie too, but think they’ll be safe this week. There’s a lot of meh in the bottom half of the leaderboard, although Nigel deserves another chance as he was very good the first couple of weeks.

I see the judges have stopped giving Angela R two extra points apiece for being old and again she’s been dressed in something unflattering that hides her arms. And bloody hell, did wardrobe really have to give Layton tiny tits?

I didn't vote for Nigel, I didn't like it at all. Angela S, Annabel and Jody.

James Jordan on Twitter ( I think he's an arse but I enjoy his critique sometimes) re Layton and Nikita: They were fighting against each other massively!
Their groins banging against each other all the time - should be connected.

I guess that is a challenge for same sex couples!

I'm voting for Nigel.
Very low down the board.

Don't want the eye candy voted off so bat-ter safe than sorry.

I voted for Eddie, Ellie and Krishnan (even though we are behind and had not seen him dance at that point, but he was great so that’s ok).

I love cabaret. Enjoyed that dance

How did I forget Amy? So lovely to see her. She looked gorgeous.

I think Lauren is very good.

Nikita Kanda is dire- really awful. Can't dance for toffee - Gorka must be in despair at getting her. Leaden legs, rhythmless, off the beat. Really awful dancer. She should retire with dignity.

Also, Layton said on his first It Takes Two appearance that he feels like he wants to lead. And Nikita had to tell him that, no, he cannot lead. Think Layton needs to trust Nikita more and relax into the following position.

Lauren was in the Anton and Giovanni tour that they did she's a brilliant dancer I was pleased to see her last year ,

Yeah, Layton wants everything. To lead, to wear a skirt, to Laytonise everything... I don't envy poor Nikita.

Amanda, Krishnan and Bobby were great tonight. Bobby had a bit of a wooden first 15 seconds on his own but as soon as he was actually dancing he was great.

Weakest were Jody and Nikita Kanda. He had an excuse, she didn't.

Amanda, Annabelle and Angela R for me. I liked the Grease song and Rizzo is now my favourite pink lady but unimpressed with a bloke thinking he can play her just because he's gay. Rizzo was all woman

I mainly voted Angela R because I'd rather she stayed in than some of the "celebs" I've never heard of

Agree with all of this

James Jordan has also spoken out against the visible coaching by some of the pros incuding Johannes with Annabel. I did think she stopped and started both last week and this week.

Bobby looked like a young Mick Jagger with his blow dry tonight.
He is a beautiful looking young man.

I thought she and Johannes looked like they thought they'd messed up

He has a point they used to get "told off" for coaching now they all do it.

I have a feeling Gorka wants a short stint this year
