So Ricky W was in the dance off, what a week for him although now he has to look forward and concentrate on next performance and keep upbeat. Glad Natalie Cassidy finally went.


I missed it, went out for a curry with some of my family.

Some people are sooo judgemental, the pap was probably blocking the car trying to get a picture, no he shouldn't have got injured but they do risk their safety to try to do it...



I would be happy if it was Chris vs Ali now with Chris winning.

yay natalie's gone!

Absolutely loved the Riverdance performance, brought back some lovely memories and with all the talk of dodgy priests, failing economy etc etc it was lovely to feel Irish again for a bit

Matthew Cutler and that new girl make a fantastic partnership don't they?

Can some one please explain the points system to me again.  I know Cigs explained it last year but I can't remember how much of the phone vote goes to your points?

I can't stand Bruno!

nobody knows the full story

Just watched and it was probably right Ricky ended up in the dance off, I think it was a good performance but by far his worst with the slips and mistakes however now thats him and Ali that have been bottom 2... i'm convinced Chris will win now and deservedly so it must be true about him topping the votes.

I'm glad Natalie didn't make it to the quarter finals, she would have then got to the same stage as Louisa Lytton with Vincent and I didn't want that to happen. Glad for Laila she did well.

Afternoon Mr. Darlo,
I filled up when Vincent started crying and especially when he said that Natalie was by far his most enjoyable partner (wonder what Rachel made of that!!) and they would be friends forever. She needed to go but there was a bit of me that was rooting for them as well.
I'm not a fan of Ricky on SCD but wish there wasn't such venom sprouted about the lad regarding the incident with the paparazzi. God some of it is vicious.
Moreover if we are to believe the papers this particular pap has been involved in a case with another celeb so lets just wait to see how it pans out.
I loved Ola and Chris last night, thought they were FABULOUS.

Ali and Brian were outstanding last night (as they have been throughout the competition.)
Their Charleston was great and their Viennese beautiful.
For me, they remain the clear leaders.

Paul Gascoigne.


Yeah Chris and Ola were brill, i've liked most of their dances so far because they really are so much fun, upbeat and happy plus they've got charming personalities.


I think Louisa was his best partner by far, they were so suited. I know it's only a TV show but I cried when they left in the quarter finals.

OMG, me too! She was adorable, a real little cracker

COLA to win!

She was I think she's pretty and cute, very fun and happy, was the life and soul of the party of that series and she improved every week.


I'm convinced Emma who I did like also got the least votes that night, she was a judges fav and they overmarked her so much but she obviously wasn't popular with the voters due to being in the dance off before...

Tonight on It Takes Two: Judges Alesha Dixon and Craig Revel Horwood preview the quarter final. Plus special guest John Barrowman!


Don't forget - TWO Strictly shows on Saturday! Main show is 6.40 - 8.10pm, then the results are 9.40 - 10.10pm Saturday.  

 

Darcey Bussell on the judging panel tomorrow.

Strictly Come Dancing favourites Ali Bastian and Brian Fortuna - who are tipped to win the series - have been widely-speculated to be dating since their electric performances began in September.

And now American dancer Brian has confirmed their onscreen chemistry is the real deal and he has asked Ali out.

The 27-year-old admitted: "I was immediately attracted to Ali, but we have a job to do.

"I thought Ali was beautiful, not only on the outside but on the inside too.

"I like a woman who is family-orientated, sweet with morals and values, has a good work ethic, and is tall with pretty eyes, nice butt and nice legs.

Kristina Rhianoff- Glad they're showing her Strictly life.

Good luck to Ali and Brian in their relationship, they are well matched.

Ali and Brian- Tango and Samba
Chris and Ola- Waltz and Samba
Laila and Anton- American Smooth and Salsa
Ricky and Natalie- Foxtrot and Cha Cha Cha

Good Evening Darloboy.

Kristina is rather Lovely, you can't blame Joe.

Adore Ali & Brian, Ali mainly of course.

Chris is going to win. Ali will be a worthy runner up, don't think Ricky has a chance now tbh. Laila could surprise tomorrow?.


Could there be a twist like no-one going home tomorrow?, theres only 4 left and due to the circumstances of Jade pulling out it could be a 2 couple final which I really don't want.

The betting to win is: Ali, Ricky, Chris & Laila.

And I would have to agree with that, things can change of course, depending on the dances tomorrow.

I think Chris is much more popular than Ali, the papers do talk some rubbish but maybe these stories about him leading the public are vote are true after all I mean he's very easy to like.


My favourite 4 from this series all still in so can't wait for tomorrow.

Chris Hollins is the hot tip to win Strictly Come Dancing

By Nicola Methven 5/12/2009

BBC Breakfast reporter Chris Hollins is the hot tip to win Strictly Come Dancing this year - despite not being the best dancer.

The cheeky chappie, who partners Ola Jordan, has become the housewives' choice, thanks to his charming personality.

Now show insiders are predicting Chris, 38, will take the title, even though both Ali Bastian and Ricky Whittle are technically better.

I think this is the bookies trying to offset the money that has been on Ricky & Ali for a long time.

If they can get everyone to vote for Chris they will save a fortune.
Can't think oif any other reason.
With it being a dance competition Chris should never win.

Ooo I would love it to be true though ... sorry Hicky....

It's on early tonight folks - 6.40!

I would love to see Chris and Ola win. I like them, he has improved so much which is a huge part of my enjoyment of the programme. Plus it would be one in the eye for the judges who in my opinion are overmarking both Ali and Ricky

Ricky and Ali have to be perfect tonight - no silly mistakes - Chris I didnt expect to last this long but he has and i am loving him more each week - cant quite get my head round him doing a show dance yet for the final but I am sure if they make it through Ola and James will whip him into shape

I'd also love to see Chris and Ola win  technically Ali is a beautiful dancer but I'm one for an underdog and that's Chris

Ditto Evening everyone

Evening Baz
I want Ali to win but would be happy with a Chris win - don't want Ricky to!

Evewnng Dance Fans
