SHOITE
Worst possible result for me, (apart from being pleased for the fabulous Flavia)
Ditto. I didn't rate his dance either - it was impressive when he held her upside down with one hand, but that's hardly dancing for me.

I never rated Louis but I loved the show dance ,it was a contemporary dance and so much better than the others ,the others had just thrown every style/type of dance into their showdance and it didn't work .Kimberleys show dance was all over the place.
I wanted my little munchkins to win but they didn't dance well last night.

Is there REALLY any likelyhood of that? 
Anyone watching the Christmas special?

Meeeeeeeee! Merry Christmas Fluffers
Hi Kaytee, Merry Christmas!
Vids, you've just missed Ola!
I was thinking JB fluffed a bit of that jive, but if he only had a week to reherse it, then he did quite well.
I think he did very well...he has the rhythm for the jive as well
Bobby Ball is very annoying, puts me off his dancing
Bobby wasn't approaching it too seriously, but at least he wasn't attempting to be too comedic either. Just the right touch I felt.
Very smooth and elegant from Shiela there. Big fluffy hem on the dress to mask any faux-pas! 
That was OK I guess, but that's one dance I can't really take to.

But she brought elegance to her dance

It's a bit of a mix of a dance neither one thing or the other, but Patrice peerformed well I thought
Um....didn't thik much of that. At least they didn't put her in Lisa's car wash outfit.

small mercies
Didn't think much of that either......another one with chunky calves
Clinically performed, but lacked oomph from Helen!
Sorry, but 10s for that is just ridiculous!
Just watched tonight show and it was dreadful ,as for the dance at the end ,what a bliddy mess that was . Ann Widdecombe just took of her coat ,and didn't do that right

As I watched that I just thought how desperate some must be. Talk about a walk-on part!!!
I thought JB was a deserved winner and Sheila was very elegant. I thought Blue Peter's Helen was awful - she made loads of mistakes and was out of time can't believe the scores she got

She looked like she was dancing in slow motion .

He's never afraid of being outspoken on Strictly Come Dancing.
When it comes to affairs of the heart, however, it turns out Len Goodman is rather good at keeping quiet.
The 68-year-old married his long-term girlfriend yesterday in a surprise ceremony. The 30 family and friends he invited thought they were attending a quiet Sunday lunch â until the registrar arrived.
Third time lucky! Len Goodman and Sue Barrett arrive for their surprise wedding at Mosimann's in London
