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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

Yes both Karim and Michelle are lovely to watch.

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.

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.

Sad.

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 :-(

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.

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 agree Ann. Perhaps another shock exit this week.

Difficult to tell who will go out tonight. Anton is in danger as well as maybe Mike, viscountess Weymouth and also Saffron But the ones at the top are very close so not necessarily safe.

Watched, voted, waiting.

Such a shame Will went out under these circumstances. He was in the papers with his leg in a brace, so it must be serious. He was enjoying himself so much. <3

However, the BBC said there are enough dancers to ensure a dance-off every week, so no-one get a buy- through to next week.

Yes he will be missed for his determination

Such a shame about Will getting injured and not able to continue, Maybe they took advice first, but I would question how sensible it was to have him jumping off a table as I think that was what he was doing. I shall miss him and his smile and cheerfulness.:-( :-(

The BBC have made a Statement.......Sadly, due to an injury sustained last week, Will Bailey will be leaving Strictly Come Dancing.

Needless to say, Will is said to be gutted :-( <3
