I can't understand why they put Tony Jacklin in TBH. He's not been about for years and even in his day he wasn't really a 'celebrity' type golfer always on TV. Even if he was a good dancer I'm guessing his fan base would be a bit limited.

I suppose they have to put a few duffers in so that it gives the mediocre dancers a few weeks to improve and make the playing field more level if that makes sense. I know what I mean anyway

I felt a bit sorry for Tony TBH but I don't think he would have kept ip with the pace.

It's Saturday 14:35 and this is the first chance I have had to catch up on last weeks show. So it's going to be a lot of SCD for me today 

Susanna - Yeah good dance for me and a fair score.

Tony - Not much dancing. Ariola did 99% of the work. Fair scores.

Natalie - Good dance. Could easily be a finalist. Not a surprise with the marks.

Dave - Way to clompety clomp for me. Darcy & Len over marked for me.

Patrick - Not the most interesting choreography. Would have been 6's from me.

Deborah - Liked the narrative and she did dance. 24 kinda OK.

Rachel - Brilliant, fantastic, superb, marvellous, magnificent, incomparable. But no, the judges got it right. She might look good, but her dancing needs to improve. Don't think she was 4 points worse than Deborah.

Vanessa - Better than I expected.

Julien - Did not like that one bit. Craig's score was generous.

Fiona - Spotted the mistake. Did not think it was dreadful. Crack the nerves and Fiona could go further in the comp.

Mark - A bit of a non dance for me. Not really a Salsa. He might be a fun character, but it's a dance comp. I would give him 2-2-2-2. This scoring is a b it mad. He was no way better than some of the earlier lower scores. Smells of a sympathy vote to me.

Sophie - I don't like her but that was a good dance. Loads of content and good narrative. If that don't get 9's I will eat my fedora. I must be a mind reader.

Ben - Thought it was OK but leaves me a little cold.

Abbey - Would be better if her partner did all the talking. Why is her partner wearing a workers fluorescent jacket? That was a bit Meh!!! I think that was scored on potential rather than the dance tonight (last Saturday).

Ash - I liked that. But I like that particularly dance anyway. I'm hoping for a strong score here. And he gets 32. Good score.

So I've not seen the result yet, but I would not be unhappy for Tony, Mark or Dave to go, but I would like Julien off the show if I had the choice.

Results show

So, Tony is one I a OK with. Julien in the dance off. I'm good with that.

Tony can go back to the U.S. now, so that should make him happy.

Julien to go next week. 

EC does the quickstep in double time!

I've completed the two shows and even made comments as I went (see above), not quite as much fun as when others are dong the same 

Love the comments EC.. it's not nearly as much fun when you're not watchin live is it?   I agree... happy enough for Tony to go, but would have preferred Julien.  His days are numbered though!

Now.. who's around for tonight's show?

PS  ALIONA (naughty EC!!!)

Moi, Kaffers!  Evening all. 

ello Xochers    Nice bit of glitter there!

Hahaha! Craig gets flanned! 

Hello everyone.

Evening all who do we thinks going this week?

Evening all...this is sooooo early

Evening all  

Vids, Aims, Kaytee    I think Julien may well go tonight - he'll be in the bottom two, I'm sure

It's James and Ola's 10th anniversay today (sorry Vids)

Dave or Julian?

Baz 

Better get out the fire extinguisher for Yogi and Baz when Ashley dances then? 

Is Vanessa hiding her Greggs sausage roll in her hairstyle tonight?

Too much faffing!

And the *band* murders the Beatles

 Quite like this professional dancer too  

and some very dodgy footwork

yep - and the socks are distracting me - i think they look awful.    I think she's an ok dancer though

Well, Abby's dance was pretty ordinary I reckon. 

Mediocre 

Evening fluffers 

I suppose that wasn't too bad really.

Kaffers  Baz 

evening all

I agree with Craig 

Craig is right.....it was decidedly dodgy in the footwork dept....pout was OK though

Yes, the footwork was a bit questionable at times. Those socks weren't quite right - they should've been ankle socks!  Stilettos weren't right either.

6 from me 

No way was that 8 !!!

Overmarked by Len for starters

Oi'll give it foive 

Theres something I just can't take to Abbey, I just don't like her, and she was overmarked by Len.

I think it might be the constant pout and the fact that shes only famous for marrying a footballer.

Spit it out Tess
