Surely this is a no brainer for the judges
Yep Baz, I said on the first night that Colin would probably do better if he had a taller partner.
Ola's roots
I agree Baz, crackers
I did!
Well said Len.
But Colin is the better dancer overall, it was a fair result.
I'll miss Ola.
Oh well, on to my backup girl Kristina now.
thankyou Baz, it's such a shame really....should have been Richard.

Kristina looked gutted before she knew she was in the dance off.
What a tough week for @The_OlaJordan Her mum having a heart attack and then leaving Strictly!! She is gutted!! She loved@sidowen5
Thank you so much for all your amazing messages! I'm absolutely gutted we are out, especially this week! This was the worst week of my life!
I am still baffled how Michael turned it around this week.The guy had posture problems,top line and leg extension has been non exsistent and as for his timing he had none.Timing is such a difficult problem to overcome and he managed it in one week.
Thats the very beginning of my fantasy that picture is.
Len said that if it had been a tie he would have picked Sid because Colin makes the same mistake in his dances each time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the the judging of who gets through the dance-off supposed to be judged SOLELY on the performance given IN the dance-off?
And he has the effrontery to tell Craig off for pedanticism about his comment about lack of 'kicks and swivels' in Lisa's Charleston!
Strictly Come Dancing's professionals have threatened to quit the live tour as they want to be paid ÂĢ8,000-a-week, not the ÂĢ6,000 they have been offered.
- 26th October 2012
Strictly Come Dancing's professionals have threatened to quit the live tour in a row over pay.
Seven dancers - including Aliona Vilani, Kristina Rihanoff and Pasha Kovalev - were unhappy to learn that their pay for the shows is frozen at last year's rate of ÂĢ5,500-a-week and say they will pull out if the salary isn't increased.
'Strictly' bosses have now upped the offer to ÂĢ6,000 - considerably less than the ÂĢ13,000 their celebrity partners receive for the tour - but the professionals are holding out for ÂĢ8,000, though they have yet to receive another response.
A source said: "The pro dancers work like dogs on tour. As well as dancing, they are responsible for choreography and preparing the celebrities for the performance.
"Some dancers feel the bosses have forgotten they are household names in their own right."
The tour is scheduled to begin in January and 'Strictly' chiefs are hoping to sign up Denise Van Outen, Kimberley Walsh, Lisa Riley, Dani Harmer and Louis Smith to take part in the live shows around the UK.

I think Len was saying that Colin made the same mistake in the danceoff that he made in his original dance, he clean forgot a whole section of his dance, which Sid didn't.
Yeah. but they keep emphasizing that the slate is wiped clean and everything and anything that went before doesn't count.
Sid moves to numbers, Colin dances. Even if he DID forget a section of his dance he at least DANCED, Sid didn't.
But you're biased anyway 'cos you didn't want Ola to go!

True.
But I admit that Colin is a far better dancer than Sid, it was a fair result.

On the SCD It Takes Two programme tonight they read out a bit of Louis's school report, and it said that Louis was an "exceptional dancer"...so he was a dancer back in his youth.

I won't say I said so....
So that would leave only Michael, as he clearly has never danced before.
Well, if we're going to disqualify ANYONE who has ever danced before in their life then I take it this will be the last ever SCD!

Yep, I couldn't agree more.
I say let the cards fall where they may and let any celeb, regardless of dance ability, do the show.
In the most grand and glittering show this series, Strictly will be broadcast live from the iconic Wembley Arena. Hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly, our stars will be dancing through the decades on a grand scale.
From the 1920s Charleston to 70s disco, our celebrities will dazzle a live audience of 6,000, while millions more watch at home, in a show that promises to be the biggest ballroom bonanza ever.
Len, Bruno, Darcey and Craig will be scoring our dancers on how well they cope with supersized Strictly, and there will be some surprise performances from some of the biggest names in music, with all proceeds from ticket sales going to BBC Children in Need.
