Yes ,I agree too close to call with the bottom four :-0

I personally thought Mike's Charleston was a bit ploddy and on the slow side......I was a bit surprised at his marks:-0

Karim appears to be in a league of his own at the moment...by far the best dance :-D

I do wish Anton wouldn't answer back, he doesn't do himself any favours, or his partner come to that:-0

I don't think anything is going to stop him now. He has been on the show since the beginning, the only one and probably feels he is part of the furniture. I think the judges ignore him. He is a good dancer but not sure he is a good teacher or choreographer.
Yes I was surprised at Mikes marks, bound to cue the twitter gangs comments re working for the BBC. Maybe the judges did it on purpose.

I've just watched the Result on Iplayer :-0 :-0

I'm afraid Mike & Katya would not have been the couple I would have picked :-0 :-0

Suppose The Judges could hardly have picked The Viscountess after giving Mike such a high score originally......such a shame :-(

Sad.

No not my choice but for some reason the judges though he was great. So the public consistently vote him out and the judges keep him in. Emma Viscountess was not a natural dancer but she was improving. We will never know whether she would have got better and Mike will still be dancing the same.

Very sad indeed.

However, I think Karim and Michelle are brilliant. Karim has such youthful enthusiasm, and Michelle is an inspiration to all ladies 'of a certain age'. You cannot fault either of their work ethic.

Loved Chris's street dance. Also the fact he said he danced to it when he was 8 years old. I don't think Anton can believe he has got this far in the competition, he has usually gone by now.

Yes both Karim and Michelle are lovely to watch.

Personally I thought it was grossly unfair :-( :-( :-(

It appears that what we see is not always the whole story. Ok this is the DM but apparently leaked by somebody in the audience Saturday evening. Bruno said he was saving Mike because he carried on when Katy’s made a mistake in a lift. This was then edited out on Sunday. Which is why the Sunday show should follow on on Saturday or should be live.

Well I was watching the show in someone else's house last night, so could not shout, scream and curse at the screen. ;-) ;-)

Pleased Neil is back with Alex. I don't know why Karim was upset, to my untrained eye his dance was fine. Michelle pulled a blinder as usual.

Mike was very ploddy in his dance I thought. I wonder if he will be in the dance off again?

I thought even those that had been sadly lacking in previous week's had upped their game:-0

I thought Michelle was one sassy lady.....she certainly gets into the role each week :-D

Didn't see Alex or Saffron dance :-(

I liked the Fosse dance by Anton & Emma and thought that Emma outshone Anton :-0

I think Karim is a perfectionist and his Viennese Waltz wasn't up to his normal high standard think that's what upset him :-(

Think it should be Chris and Mike in the dance off but will the public think the same :-0 :-0

I agree Bell re who should be in the dance off and also your comments about Emma and Anton. Re Karim I think because he is young and has done really well until now he found criticism hard to take.

Yes, Ann think you've hit the nail on the head about young Karim :-(

I have given up on Strictly this year.

Good to see you are all still interested in it. :-)

We enjoy watching it still Emma, some good dancing this time as well.

I'm still sticking with it, although it shows how little I know.

Sometimes I think a dance is good, and the judges don't. Then the reverse happens. :-D

Yes, I can appreciate what you said about Karim being a perfectionist, he did look crestfallen, and he is a very good dancer.

I too liked Emma and Anton, and still think that Anton cannot believe his luck he is still in the competition.

Just watched the Results Show on IPlayer :-0

Michelle in the dance off :-0 :-0 Mike didn't stand a chance :-(

Couldn't believe how quickly Amy changed her outfit to dance with Johannes ;-) :-D :-D

Michelle being in the dance off was ridiculous she danced very well and had high marks so the public were not voting against her dancing but her personally and probably because she is not British. Mike was going to be leaving from that decision as no way could the judges have justified him going through. I didn't dislike him and I thought he did well to his ability. He had obviously gained a lot from the experience as well. I always feel sorry for the couple who leave the week before Blackpool. so pleased Emma and Anton have got to Blackpool.

I don't believe for one minute that Michelle was in the bottom two. They are both popular and they dance very well. Still it made it easier to vote Mike off

He said in the week he had booked his hotel for Blackpool, so he will go along and support the others.

I thought that Chris looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights, he must have thought he was on his way out.

Yes his face was a picture.
