10's from Len and Aleisha I'm guessing, Craig 9 not sure about Darcey and Queen of mean.

It's a bit blatant now, isn't it? He wasn't any better than Chris, in fact, a bit boring from where I'm sitting, but the judges seem to have encountered the 8th wonder of the world. Give me strenghts.

Loved Craig giving it a 9

I see Ali is going to be in for it next week when Ricky has gone.

Tell us what you really want judges - don't hold back or we might think you're being discreet

49 then, got Craig right and Len and Aleisha, but thought Darcey may mark lower somehow.

Ricky was amazing there, even I have to admit that.


If cold face Ali deserved a 50 then why not Ricky.?


PLEASE GOD LET ALI GET KICKED OUT TONIGHT.

Loving Craig tonight darlings oh well off to the phone.

In terms of pure dancing ability, Ali and Ricky should be in the final.


Now if the public put Smuggy first and Ricky last that would tie everyone again, will they do the same and put everyone through?

Just tried and can't get through for Chris.

grrr can't get through on the phones

I've tried to vote for Chris and Ola but "there's high demand for this destination". I shall keep trying.

We all love somebody to moan about.


I actually preferred this semi final to the one last year, although I did have to catch up on that due to a party.

My sentiments exactly Cologne.......   Little do they seem to realise that they could be shooting themselves in the foot.

I just wondered about that too. You would have thought they either smoothed out these problems or else they want everybody to go through anyway, in which case it's a bit much to ask ppl to 'phone in and spend money.

Lines are busy, he's topping the votes already, keep trying.

I think the one with the highest viewer vote goes through.

Oh is Darcey going to dance, this could be really really good.  My God I wish I could get my leg that high!!

I'd have a moan about having nothing to moan about

Going to but phone not near me and I want to watch this.

I'm trying hun.

She is good.

I think Ali will rip Brian's top off backstage as a reward for that cheeky kiss, he'll finally be able to get what he's wanted all along.

Shame that.

SEVEN

I think he has been getting his reward for the past 12 weeks anyway

That was great by Darcey and Ian

Darcy is awesome.

That was brill, well done to Darcey. I've taken to her much more quickly than I ever did with Arlene but read the slating she's had recently.

See now Darcey has obviously had ballet training and was probably the greatest ballerina currently in the world but she also has personality.

That was bloody brilliant for someone who has not had much training in ballroom, you go Darcey.

Anyone else think that may well put Aleisha's nose out of joint as she wasn't asked to dance again, unless she does next week.

I seems a bit mean, but I really hope so. Cigs seems to think that Chris is smug, but I think Ricky is the one who thought that this would fall into his lap, what with his good looks, being tall and being in Hollyoaks , so I'd like him to leave tonight. He's done well, but he shouldn't win.

Got through, any Chris fans try now to phone.

Son phoned me Doesn't he realise Strictly is on!!!

I managed to get through for Chris, thankfully.  I want Ricky OUT.

Still can't get through but I won't give up.
