Sisters. Zara Larsson wrote the song about her sister - hence the cute vintage film clip at the start.

Wish Adam had gone though. Angela R seemed very grumpy about being in DO. I honestly wish Kai could give the true story of working with her as I have a feeling it’s not that easy!!!

When they were both announced as being in DO I went back and checked what each judge scored on Saturday. Craig and Motsi scored Angela 1 point higher so seemed consistent Choosing Angela. Anton scored them the same so could have went either way. Shirley scored Adam one point higher so technically she changed her mind when doing DO. I thought Adam dances bit better and Angela bit worse too.

either way think it was fixed that Angela R goes to Blackpool. I’m interested to see what dance she gets next week!!

poor Annabel is given samba. That’s a set up for them getting her out. It’s so set up isn’t it. I’ll be voting for her to stay and hope Angela R goes.

Yes, had Shirley stuck to her original score and Anton come down on Adam's side then it would have been Bus for Ange.
I preferred Adam's routine and thought Ange was worse in the DO, more unsteady on her feet.
Annabel next week - hope she smashes it - I know that Ange is 79 but Adam doing what he's done with rheumatoid arthritis is flipping amazing.

Oh and to the pp who misses Monkseal - he doesn't tweet anymore but if, like me, you miss his wit then join Digital Spy and it lets you stalk him see all his posts in one sitting. He still cracks me up and his spreadsheet knowledge is beyond compare.

Why do we keep having to see the samba? It’s awful.

What date is the Blackpool show?

18th November I believe

So only one more week for the producers to get her there. They're already throwing Annabel under the bus by giving her the samba.

Wow the party Latin trapdoor opening for Annabel and Krishnan both, at exactly the same time, who could have called it.

In the samba you have to make sure the knees are in the right position, to ensure correct placement of the legs, and freedom of motion above the waist, before you shove Widdy to the ground and swing her around like a canary coloured battering ram

If AngelaR's in the dance-off some skulls are getting cracked, I'm telling you that much. Her opponents, the judges, Krishnan's son, nobody's gonna be safe. She's going to exhume Morecombe & Wise and drag their worm eaten bodies around the floor yelling "OH BUT YOU LIKED IT WHEN I DID THIS!"

Bobby telling me to find God, not on this show hun, not with Vito about to come on, I'm embracing Satan and all his teachings (Am mentally going "TITS!" over all the bits where the singer goes "SAIL!", sorry to any Bobby fans who apparently think that's wicked abuse or whatever)

Saw in the paper that Karim has been cast as King Julian in Madagascar The Musical on tour, a sentence which left me exhausted just reading it.

"Do you want constructive criticism? I think you can take it Eddie? Ok, my constructive criticism is to wait for another routine not choreographed by Karen and I'll give you a 10 again regardless"

Layton ringing so hard in that routine I thought I'd caught tinnitus

"Les Dennis : Giant Anchor" - someone in the props department clearly misheard something

Above are some of Monkseal's observations this series.

He's not wrong on Annabel and Krish being used as samba-fodder.
I'll be amazed if Ange doesn't get a paso next week into the Blackpool Tower ready for her AS exit.

Angela R should technically have gone but I think they were doing Adam a favour really - he's clearly not well, has too much work on and is physically struggling. If he'd stayed in he'd be at risk of dropping out due to ill health and no one wants more drop-outs and a 2 couple final.

I agree that Angela, Angela and Annabel are likely to be the next 3 to go in whatever order. Although I'd love Annabel to surprise everyone by smashing the samba.

Krishnan's dance was awful this week but I think his vote is probably quite strong as the Great British Public love a journey and he is so joyous. Even though he's got Latin next week (probably salsa I suspect with that tune), they've got a cracking "choon" and may do something really fun which will keep people voting for him. I don't think Latin will be certain doom for him. I don't think he'll get to a semi-final (I predict he will come up against Layton in a DO of doom eventually) but I think he'll be around for another 3 weeks at least.

Absolutely loved Ellie and Vito again this week. I really hope they go on to win it all.

I like a samba when it's done well, though. More so than a salsa anyway.

Where is he posting these, please?

I agree re Adam. DH has RA and it was nowhere near under control so soon after diagnosis (only just under control now, four years on, and on injectables, although he does do a manual job). Adam really looked like he needed to go home and get a really good night's sleep.

I miss Monkseal.

Kai looked annoyed

About what?

Being in the dance off or being saved?

hm, Kai at the every end when they were saying their goodbyes to adam - the camera kept it seemed tried to focus on Kai and his expression.

I noticed that about Kai

Yes, Kai had thunder face. Perhaps he’s just embarrassed?

That's a good point. Angela had a few very obvious wobbles in the DO... it didn't take an expert to be able to tell that judges' comments weren't in sync with what we were all seeing.

yes, perhaps kai felt bad for Adam

is Luba Kai's gf?

Kai didn’t look happy …Adam should have been saved. It’s a con they want her in Blackpool we’ve been saying that the last few weeks …not really fair
