I noticed that too Ann - I hate it when they clap during the singing

Did anyone else notice that for practically the first time the audience didn't clap the dancers and drown the singer out. Love him singing that. :-)

Mark looked as though he knew it was his time to go, but they've given us some great routines haven't they? and Ashley and Ola have danced smashing together :-D

Looking forward to the Swingathon next week :-D :-D

I cried throughout Alfie Boes number must of been really feeling it :-(

I think its the right time Ann, he and Evetta made a few mistakes in their dance off, I think they both knew, and Ola got her foot stuck again but gave it shape tug and released it ..

Really looking forward to next week, and NO BLOODY BRUCE Yeyyyyyyyyy :-D :-D :-D :-D

mmmmmmmm - Alfie Boe - I'm in heaven :-D :-D :-D

Sorry to see Mark go, but had to be done sooner or later

I just want shot of the oh so precious Sophie :-D

Agree Mark and Susanna in dance off.

Emma :-)

There was talk on the tv last week, that Susannah was odds-on to win Strictly! I hope the decision has not been made already.

I don't know why the settee routine was judged as risky. It isn't that hard. Even I can do it.

But yet again, I am super-human.

:-D :-D :-D :-D

I think it'll be Mark and Susannah in dance off.

The standard is really high this year and, for me, lots of very good contenders. :-)

I think Mark will go tomorrow I think if he is in the dance off he wont survive another week, he is ready to go, possibly Mark Suzanna or even Ashley could be in the bottom 2 and next week Natalie god willing :-|

Brenda - the flashing lights distracted me big time last week. I wanted to watch the dancing not a flasing lights exhibition!

I was so pleased for Abbey and Aljaz tonight. Their excitement after the marks was infectious. She seems such a lovely, eager to learn, hardworking young lady.

hva e to confess to voting for her once in a while.

Don't know who will go this week - think that it should be Mark or Susanna (she made a few mistakes).
But knowing what has happened in previous years, I wonder if Sophie is safe, as in previous years, dancers who have danced below par seem to go out when they (finally) up their game again.
I think that Sophie and Brendan looked just great, so hope that this does not apply to them.

Re: Rachel Riley. She was often quite giggley during her time on Strictley, now that I know that she and her husband have split up, I wonder if her smiling and giffling was her attempt tohide her unhappiness?

I agree....possibly Mark and Susanna in dance off.

Does anyone agree with me that they have too many flashing lights in the new studio...?
It really interferes with my enjoyment when the floor is constantly changing colour and flashing.it clashes with the dancers.
Im sure others notice this . :-)

Possibly Mark and Susannah in the dance off although Mark was very entertaining as usual

A brief overview........ :-D

Best: Abby

Worst...Susannah

Well thats more like it.....................

Patrick got a standing ovation even from the judges and rightly so ........

Sophie looked much together this week and even looked like she was at last enjoying herself.

Mr and Miss Smarmy pants , well said Le,n she doesnt look so wonderful now as the others have improved greatly , so glad she was marked correctly this week apart from Bruno :-|

Mark god loves a tryer and he has got my vote again this week, love him. <3


Abby wowwwwwwwww loved her dance and to me looked faultless and she got full marks so pleased for her.


Ashley awww the rumba really dont like this dance, dont think he that safe/



Suzanna has she peaked at Blackpool, the settee business was big risk :-(

Just seen that Rachel Riley and her husband ( of 16 months ) have split up.they are calling it "the curse of Strickly" :-(

I wasn't surprised at the result Saturday night but figure Mark could go next time (law of averages :-S )
I do like watching Ola and Ashley,think they look good together, also Abby and Aliazz....

Looking forward so much to this week's 'Strictly at the Musicals' :-D :-D

*highs Faves Ann * :-D

I'm hoping Sophie gets the boot next week

I think my 4 would be the same as Hayley's except I would swap Kevin for Miss FP. Kevin irritated me the same as Craig with constantly tilting his head towards the floor and tucking his chin in that odd way. I think Miss FP could be back in the running depending what dance she has next week.........agree the tears seemed a bit forced.

I thought Brucie's autocue had been switched off at one point.....fluff, fluff as MTG said. I'd be on tenterhooks if I was Tess, I mean, at what point do you step in.

Funny we all picked up on the Sophie thing with her hubby. I wonder if her confidence has been affected as she seems to have lost a bit of oooomph!
