So boring I forgot about him completely. Yes, I think he'll be in the d/o again.

I voted Shayne, Sam and Jamie.

i think JB might be in trouble because Amy’s choreo is kinda dull. That was the most innovative I’ve ever seen her be and it was literally just funny arms.

I haven't voted for Shayne before but I enjoyed his performance tonight and gave him all 3 votes as I think he might be in trouble.

vile isn't it. Some people need to get a grip tonight.

Sam, Chris and Punam for me tonight.

The standards are fairly close on competency at this point.

The over-dress on Sam's costume looked a tad long and awkward for the kicks.

There were a lot of ties in the bottom half of the board. Does that protect the top half more?

Voted for Adam & Nikita I really enjoyed their dance.
I thought the best dance was Tasha but don’t think she will need my vote as she is near the top.
I usually vote for Chris but I think he is popular so haven’t voted for him.
I think Jamie will get to the final and probably so will Wynn although I think Katya did all the work tonight.

Thought the costumes were great tonight, for a change.

Dusty Springfield on BBC2 later.... Absolutely love her!! 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕?

Sam- don’t know where Adam came from.

It actually puts them more at risk as it means anyone who is bottom will gain an extra point for someone somewhere being in a tie.

So disappointed by Vito and Sarah's Argentine Tango. I was impressed at some of the lifts but I just thought it was executed badly. It looked messy and her posture wasn't great. I've just rewatched Vito/Ellie's and Gorka/Alexandra Burke and it was not a patch on these. I think it was hugely overmarked. I do love them both though.

Can the top judge votes ever be toppled by the public vote?

I liked JB's dance, I thought it was sweet.

Not at this stage. The top of the LB can end up in the B2 late in the season, and I think it's more possible when there are ties.

Chris,Wynne and Sam

I think Wynne and Punam might be in the DO.

I voted Chris, Sam and JB as would not want any of these in DO

How does the marking work?

Do they award: 1,1, 2,2,2,2,3,4,5,6,6

Or is it: 1,1, 3,3,3,3, 7,8,9, 10,10

I think it's Punam's time to go (sorry)

I'd rather Wynne left as I think he has reached the limit of his ability.

Didn't Fleur and Mollie end up in the DO earlier than expected?
I hope some of the overmarked do end up in the DO tbh.
Katya did the composer shtick with Adam Peaty as Beethoven - Viennese Waltz.
It will test the slebs' vote with so many ties

Jamie 38 Sarah 38
Tasha 37
JB 32
Montell 31 Pete 31 Sam 31 Shayne 31 Wynne 31
Chris 26 Punam 26

I gave 3 to Chris, I feel guilty about JB but I think Punam might be toast.

I voted for Pete, Sarah and Sam. There's something about Pete - I don't think he takes himself as seriously as I first thought. Some good dancers are in danger tonight.
