well they made the right decision tonight - Fiona and Anton gone and Mark did up his game - only Craig wanted to keep Fiona - the others wanted Mark to stay

think she may need them BC ;-)

Well, Hayley if you are voting for Markcantseemefeetformebellyandam eversohumble....then I vote for Miss Faintypants!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well s'long Fiona yer did yer best never danced a full 90 sec routine without forgetting what you was doing and I amt no professional but I am pretty dam sure that first lift in their danceoff was illegal the way he hoisted her up by the waist!!!

I voted for Kevin and Suzanna this week as I thought that was dance of the series, but as from next week its back to voting for Mark on every available phone I can get me mitts on ..............I wanna keep him it he is fun ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I said to Itsmytelly when the younguns came on dancing theres our pro's of tomorrow they were wonderful as were all the dancers.

Fiona has to be in the dance off this week its time she went, at least Mark has good timing :-D

Kevin has grown on me over the last few weeks, he isnt as full of himself as the others, he knows his stuff and he taught Suzanna well :-D

I enjoyed the show too. However - I thought that Patrick was a bit better in rehersals (as seen on Take2) so was a little disappointed in his performance.

I agree that it SHOULD be Mark and Fiona in the Dance off - but just in case I ahve voted for two couples higher up the leader board.

Didn't think tha Mark was as good as Ben last week in his Jive - but Craig gave Ben 4 and Mark 5. I know that Mark has bad knees and (also like me ) a large belly - but he has been in Hair SSpray on stage - so would have expected him to be good in that part of his dance. Liked his bright costume though - fitted in with the "Hair Spray" theme.

Wonderful to watch the youngsters dance - what a wonderful opportunity for them. I reckon that a lot of proud family and friends will have recorded them. Stars of the future.

Was hoping to see Dave in the audience - but if he WAS there I missed him. Debbie the Dragon was there as was Peter Crouch (Abbey's husband).

This was Natalies best performance to date (I think). showing a bit of animation and enjoyment - let herself go a bit for a change - instead of a very controled performance.

Looking forward to the results show.

Hope that there are no nasty shocks!

lovely as Mark is, he hasn't lost much weight has he?

Suzanna and Natalie were great, as was Patrick

Fiona and Mark should be in the dance off!! I don't think Anton du Bec will ever reach the final

I loved the show tonight and next week they have Andre Rieu on and I adore him!!

I had a horrible feeling Mark's trousers were going to fall down! His braces seemed to be jiggling up and down.

I was praying they were button braces and not clips. :-0

I loved Susanna and Kevin's pasa doble.....It was excellent....Having lived not far from Seville and seeing Spanish dancers doing this,I think this was the best and most authentic I have seen in all the series of Strictly.Kevin was a typical matador.
The whole show was brilliant.

Usually I love all the costumes but who decided to dress Mark in such a different colour to that worn by his partner

Oh dear, I am getting a little bored of Susanna's coyness all the time. The amount of time she took to get up from the floor, then all that panting and batting her eyelids, I dunno!

Len probably knows Kevin's parents, if they were professional dancers too. I loved the archive film of Kevin.

The opening with the young dancers was lovely, I thought. New dancers coming through the ranks.

Yep, I agree, Mark or Fiona in the dance off.

Incidentally, how did Natalie get all her hair under that wig? She must have had an extremely tight fitting cap under her wig. Her hair goes on for miles!

Absolflippinglytely GB............. they should of had a 40 suzanna and Kevin :-D

Sophie was much better this week......

Fiona was crud

Ashley and Patrick were brill shame about the stumble she looked gutted :-(

Abbey was so good and I thought Mark did well he cant half move for a big bloke all in all an excellent show :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Susannah and Kevin the best dance of the night.

Not sure I agreed that the dance by Natalie warranted the same score

I would die a happy woman to Samba with Patrick :-D

My bottom two...Fiona and Mark :-)

Should be a good atmosphere in Blackpool tonight! :-) I do like Kevin, he is so nice and inoffensive.

Yep, I can't take to FP either and you are right AnnC, just wish my sciatica wore off that quickly!!

I hope Sophie does well tonight, she's been off the pace a bit at times, but can dance beautifully when it comes right. Brendan seems to have had a personality change and turned into Mr Nice Guy these days.

I am so excited I could p...pant :-D

Ann I too have dance on the tower ballroom floor but it was to Northern soul :-D

Hactually we have danced in the tower ballroom. On a weekend stay to see the lights, out walking, popped into the tower and the organ was playing so had a quickstep (with trousers and trainers on!!!). :-D Most elegant.

:-D :-D :[email protected] forward to seeing you in action.

Emma :-)

Very excited about tonight, from Blackpool. Never been there, but of course, if it was good enough for Hayley on Corrie, then it is good enough for me!

I shall be performing a tango tonight hactually! I can't find me fake tan, but have decided gravy browning will do.

Ho lay!

if an epidural can do that for you, then I'd like one - she looks reborn :-D :-D
