Re Craig's remarks to both Georgia and Helen about them not being in the dance-off because of the judges, and it bring the public that put them there.
What a load of inaccurate and unhelpful twaddle!!

Looking just at Craig's marks. - his lowest marks of 6 went to Anita, his next lowest was 8, which he gave both to Helen and Katie.
This means that he would have put Anita and then either Helen or Katie in the dance-off, so his remark was incorrect.

Then to say that thr public put them in the dance-off is both unhelpful and hurtful.
In other words he was saying that the public don't,'t like you! Not nice at all.

I often agree with what Craig says but in this instance he should have put his brain (and his heart) in gear before he opened his mouth :-\

I am pleased that Anita is still in, just because I'm a massive fan.

It is now too close to call, as nobody is really Terri le and no one stands head and shoulders above the others.

So much now will depend on the dance to be done and the performance on the night.

I haven't made a note to see what the celebs. have not yet danced but it was mentioned that one of the dances that zJay will be doing on Saturday is the Charleston.

Looking forward to Saturdays performances. I hope that by the end of the evening weceill be able to say.
"Didn't they do well?!!"

I think your rodents were certainly running around on Saturday night

Talk about a fix - it should have been Anita & Helen - then the Judges could have had a good argument over them

Most of the time they always put the one they want to get rid of with one they know they want to keep

It was a very fishy results show as well as smelling Rats

It will be interesting in the Semi finals i think Anita is doing a Salsa

At least Anton is doing a Waltz & Charleston the same as Jay

We will see who they boot out next week

Good result but Georgia in dance off :-0

Noticed the remark that the public put them there
not the judges so said Craig.

things are sure hotting up now :-D :-D :-D

Well I dunno, I smell rodents again!

By putting Georgia against Helen, Helen was sure to go. There is no way that Georgia should be in the Dance Off.

By the way....................I was totally wrong!

:-D :-D :-D

Thanks, Confident of London.

I really hope so!

Maybe now I can look forward to tonights result show.

Dear Worried of West Brom.

Fret not, your vote will keep them in.

Judges don't seem to like Anita much, not as far as the marks go anyway.

She is marked down for anything that she doesn't get perfect, while the others seem yo get away with giving a "decent performance".

I agree that Kellie and Kevin did a stage routine, Helen was off balance and not technically perfect just like Anita), but still got praise and good marks.
It seems that the judges expect a higher standard from Anita than they do from the others!! I just can't work out why.

I think that if Anita is in the dance-off the judges will send her packing, unless the other couple make a right hand of it.

I have once again voted for Anita and Gleb to keep them in, keeping my fingers crossed that I am successful.

Well I thought Anita's tango lacked an awful lot of steps. The song was The Cellblock Tango, so that should have given them a clue. Do we have to have the ripped shirts every week? Was that to distract from the lousy dancing?

Helen wobbled to the point I thought she was going to crash into another dancer. I am also getting a bit weary of her looking into the camera with tears in her eyes.

Sorry Katie, but please stop grinning,

Jay was good, but overmarked I agree.

Kellie, well, she was no where near as good as Shanie Wallis in the film, and I thought that she was awful. Have you noticed how Kevin always seems to be pushing himself to the front when they are up with Claudia? And they seem to be centre stage when they are all introduced? Maybe I am looking for something that is not there.

Dear little Georgia was like a fairy-tale princess. But I agree what was that soppy teapot doing prancing around? I know it is in the cartoon, but Bruno nearly put his neck out of joint trying to see their footwork.

I agree Anita & Helen this week probe Helen to go

I loved the Les MIS routine but she wobbled about too much

Still petition to keep Anton & Katie in would love to see him in the semi final for the first time

Got really annoyed at tonight's show I was beyond jolly cross. The judges scores are so inconsistent. How many dance steps did Kelly actually do? It was more of the stage routine. Lets all gush at Helen our little ballet Princess where was the Spanish lines ? Jay's rumba was totally and utterly well over marked but last male celeb and all that. Please please give Anton and Katie a samba *snorts* next week. Georgia's dance was lovely the tea pot got in the way they didn't need the extra dances. Anita did a fair tango Ive seen better but the judges certainly slaughtered her a 6 FGS.
:-D :-D :-D

I'm not keen on the nit-picking that goes on and for Craig to give that couple a 6 was in my opinion an insult.

GP

In our morning paper that he is leaving Strictly.

My two this week Helen and Anita, with Helen
to go.

Nooooooooo!! from me as well :-(

lovely show tonight - Jay and Aliona brill, as were Georgia and Giovanni - it's gonna be hard to decide from now on

Loved the "Les Mis" number and began to think how Anne Widdecombe would have coped with that :-D :-D :-D the mind boggles

Ooooh-er, latest rumour mill to hit the fan is Len may be axed at the end of this series.

Nooooooooooo!

Well.....................the competition is hotting up! Watched a couple of editions of ITT and saw the previews of the dances.

I think Georgia is a lovely little dancer. She and Giovanni are dancing to Beauty and the Beast. She is wearing a pretty yellow dress, with her dark hair she will look stunning. I cant see them going out any time soon.

Still sticking to my prediction of either Katie or Kellie.

I don't think they will ever publish the viewers votes Tabitha, unfortunately!

How do we know who has been voted most popular?

I cannot warm to either Katie or Kellie. I am hoping one or t'other will be knocked out next week.

I think I will vote hard to keep Anton in for at least another week - Katie looked amazing on Saturday - first time i ever saw Anton do the Argentine Tango

They are trying very hard to stop the Strictly spoiler from going out on Sunday morning

Still think they should publish the viewers votes & we can see what people really feel

I know its a dance competition but I still think Anita needs to get a personality

Jay and Anita for me, but it is getting harder to choose now. So much depends as well on the dances they get each week and the choreography too. :-)

At least Peter seems to have been well liked by the other dancers and has been supportive.

I love the rapport between Zoe and Ian Waite on ITT. Especially when they demonstrate holds etc. I loved it when he asked her to lift her chin up, then said, 'now the other one'. lol Then when he had her back to us and said 'show your best side, your back side.'
