Confession time!

When Motsi was commenting on Karim and Amy's dance, I thought that she said " I want to give you more than 10! I want to give you my herpes......" I was that shocked that I didn't take in the rest of her comment, just thought that she had used the wrong word, and waited for someone else to comment.


Now I know the truth, she said , I want to give you more than 10, I want to give you my hair piece, my clothes...."


Thank goodness I didn't make a fool of myself and tell anyone.

The trouble with Vogue was that it was all arms and walking.....no apparent tricky footwork to impress the judges with......I see Tess said much the same.

It's nice to see Anton still there and some 10s for him at last! Karim's posture blows me away and such stamina.

The standard now is so high it's getting harder to seperate them. It's when the choreography can make all the difference.

I think we all had an inkling Michelle would go. I do appreciate the sentiment behind Vogue, but I wonder if it was the right dance Blackpool.

And so we plough on to next week, when it all starts again in Elstree. I wonder if it will be Saffron next week, as the others have all upped their game?

Still delighted that Emma and Anton are in it. :-D

Although I was sad to see Michelle go, I think it was the right decision :-0

When the cards are down you can't beat an old fashioned quick step :-D

I agree with AnnG, Vogue didn't do it for me either :-(. Perhaps earlier in the series it might have deemed to be innovative but now they are getting to the nitty gritty end I think they have to stick with the traditional dances :-D

Think Michelle will be in the dance off, I didn't like her dance much personally, not sure who else, maybe Saffron. But excellent show very entertaining.

Well that was a blockbuster of a night.

Loved Anton and Emma, made me quite emotional. Anton still cant believe his luck, and his first 10 since the show started...…...ever!

Did like Alex and Karim too.

I think it may be Saffron and Michelle in the dance off.

Saw Mike in the audience, but no one pointed him out.

I agree, Von & Tess.....the standard was very high :-0

Having the celebs dance with a group of dancers made it more entertaining too :-D

Didn't see Michelle or Saffron dance but of those that I did I liked Emma & Alex.

Thought Emma was very graceful but then I love that kind of dance.

Alex's dance was so powerful as a Paso should be but it was different too which, to me, made it that much more enjoyable-D :-D

Chris' dance was very entertaining but was it really a Salsa...I thought it was a take on his Street Dance :-0

It was good Von. I think that Michelle is in danger again. Not sure who else, but I have voted for Alex and Neil as I think that they were under marked in comparison with Chris with Kabren and Emma with Anton.

Will be sorry to see anyone go this week, but somebody has to :-( :-(

What a stunning programme tonight.
Difficult to choose who will go this time :-D :-D :-D

It must be difficult for them, different floor, different space. Hope they all enjoy the experience. I can actually say I have danced on that dance floor although unfortunately only in trainers and jeans. Quite an experience.

I thought that Mike did the dance off far better than the first time round. Possibly his best dance of the series. however, once Michelle was also names as in the dance-off, Mike stood no chance of going through.

Although i was disappointed to see Michelle in the Dance off, it wasn't a tremendous surprise. She was near the top of the leader board, so didn't warrant
a sympathy vote. As far as I know she doesn't have a large fan base here in the UK, so won't automatically get votes from a lot of people.

I would love to see her in the semi-final, if not the final, as she is so good to watch. I know that she seems a little loud and driven, but that all seems to help her to conquer each dance style as it comes.
Hopefully she isn't in the dance off again tomorrow. At risk possibly because of the style of dance she is doing (Couples Choice. Vogue) which may not have typical dance steps for the judge to mark well.

Just hope that all the couples are able to give of their best this week and are not put off their stride by the bouncy floor.

All being well I will be watching it on tv live.

Yes I thought his Paso was okish, he said he has lost one and a half stone so it has obviously been good for him.

I thought Mike looked so much more fitter than when he started, so he had been putting in the training. I didn't think his Paso was that bad much better than some of his previous dances but this is when the going gets tough :-0 :-D

Sadly, he had to go :-( :-)

Yes his face was a picture.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I have given up on Strictly this year.

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