Here we go...

Do you know what? My prediction is that Christine will go through. She gets block votes from N Ireland (hope I'm wrong, mind you). It could very feasibly be Lisa and Rachel in the dance-off. Imagine that?

Does anyone know how they decide which dance they do in the dance-off? If it's their worst one, how could they put Rachel through against Lisa?

What a telling off Vincent got for showing off - serves him right, he was getting a bit cocky.

I don't think Tom deserves to be in the final. Yes he's a good dancer, but he hasn't improved as much as Lisa or Austin. And I can't get past the smugness.

It's such a shame it's a two couple final.

pollywobbledoodle · 29/11/2008 20:57

they choose which one to do in the dance off....i love the lovely christine but she is like a carthorse in comparison with the others....

squeaver · 29/11/2008 20:59

Thanks Polly. Yes, Christine's time should be up...

fartmeistergeneral · 29/11/2008 21:24

I don't find Tom particularly smug, but slightly desperate, and much as I love a doctor , I don't think he'll get to the final. He's good, but just not sparkling.

I can't warm to Lisa either, and obviously the public feel the same. What a strange feeling it must be to get good marks from the judges, and then the public ignore you. Must be hard for the confidence. I might go for Lisa more if she stopped touching Brendan's face and grinning 2 inches away from his nose. Am also surprised that he's engaged. But only because I cannot fathom why anyone would agree to spend the rest of their lives with him!

Craig's 7 for Tom was clearly to compensate for the bogey 10 from Len which was blatantly coming.

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 29/11/2008 23:46

I voted for Lisa and Rachel.

But I'll be having daydreams about Austins Paso.

Tigerschick · 30/11/2008 08:59

I think that the final standings with the judges got it about right.

Lisa was very good. I am not a fan of the Cha Cha, it doesn't seem quick enough to be a party dance but that's what the moves are telling us it should be ... but I think that Lisa's was extremely good.

Austin delivered exactly what I'd hoped he would. I don't know enough about technique to comment on what Len said about him.

Rachel's Paso wasn't that great but I loved her waltz. She definately does the soft, floaty stuff better than the quick bits. (See, very technical me )

Tom ... I though his waltz was excellent. He's just too smug to pull off the samba/salsa dances for me.

Christine ... time to go, I think. I really like her but there is a clear gap between her and the others. She's certainly trying her best but it's just not happening for her.

I thought that they danced their highest scoring dance in the dance off which is not good news for Austin if he ends up in it as Len has the 'casting vote' and seemed to hate his paso
Ah well.... time will tell.

tortoiseshellWasMusicaYearsAgo · 30/11/2008 09:00

I somehow don't think Austin will be in the dance off - he ended up 2nd on the leaderboard, and the Paso was a real crowd-pleaser to bring the votes in.

annaje · 30/11/2008 09:07

As much as I hate to say it - I think it will be Lisa and Rachel in the dance off (IMO it should be Tom and Christine). But how will the judges choose - they both scored the same for their best dances........39 I think?? It will come down to who they like more!

Tigerschick · 30/11/2008 10:44

It will come down to who performs best in the dance-off ... if either person improves or crumbles ...

I really wouldn't like to say who it's going to be ... but no one is 'safe' really.

Tigerschick · 30/11/2008 10:45

If Lisa is in the dance-off it'll destroy any self-confidence she has left!
I hope she isn't but I haven't voted so I'm not one to talk ...

TeenyTinyTorya · 30/11/2008 11:27

Does anyone else think that Tess is looking quite pregnant?

Tigerschick · 30/11/2008 12:36

We thought that last week, TTT, but I wasn't sure if it was an illusion caused by her dress ... will look again tonight ...

FairLadyRantALot · 30/11/2008 14:12

I hope Christine is in the dance off, because it is time for her to go...she just isn't that talented....she looks a bit awkward....

Len was a bit harsh about Autin....but loved Craigs judging yesterday...he is so funny, when he wants to be...

Nagapie · 30/11/2008 15:41

What I like from here on, is that the judges can't really over judge and give silly scores to keep dancers in ....

pinkteddy · 30/11/2008 15:53

I too can't see Christine being in the dance off although it is really time for her to go. Her tango was awful - really flat. The others are streets ahead of her now. What was Alesha getting at in ITT about Mathew and Christine being sociable?!

I really can predict who will be in dance off though - could it really be Lisa with the highest mark from the judges? She will have to get really poor votes from the public to be in the bottom two. I think Rachel is in dodgy territory though as I can't see Tom being in dance off either!

FairLadyRantALot · 30/11/2008 16:00

Christine really did look like a ragdoll being pulled around, didn't she...especially in that tango....

Tigerschick · 30/11/2008 16:22

In the tango I thought she was trying to have a stern face but it just looked like she wasn't really enjoying it ... it looked like a walk-through.

Tigerschick · 30/11/2008 16:25

I have taken the liberty of starting a new thread as we will no doubt fill this one tonight
