Right time for my tuppenny worth! :-D

I thought the dance with HRVY was spectacular! They certainly went to town.

Ranvir was again, very light on her feet, and very graceful.

JJ I think is struggling a bit now, and maybe the one to go.

Bill, I dont think there was enough footwork, although the overall dance was very striking and he held his own.

Jaimie, I was not too keen on his dance. There is too much jumping around in his dances, rather actual contact.

So I agree, maybe JJ and Jaimie in the dance off.

Nice to see you back Tess. <3

Edit. I forgot Maisie! She certainly puts a lot of effort into her dancing.

Dancing aside.......

Why does Claudia start her comments with 'I mean'?

Why do Claudia and Tess say 'thurr jud-jerrrs'?

What an annoying pair they are. Bring back Brucie ;-)

Bill's been my favourite all along. As well as dancing skills he shows his personality which none of the others do.

Hrvy to win with Ranvir runner up.

I'm afraid I just don't like Jamie and Karen. They're like a couple of overgrown and annoying little boys. No wonder he doesn't take the lead. They need to go tonight.

JJ put me in mind of Tommy Tune with those never ending legs.

Just "written up" my notes from last night.
Quite a few dances, including the Samba, V. Waltz and Samba have had few few couples dancing them (so far).
However - Ranvir and Giovanni are the only remaining couple not to do The Jive.

J.J and Amy are the only remaining not to have done the Cha Cha Cha.

Both of these dances have been in the dance off twice!

I wonder if they are both go through to next week if they will have to do these dances.

I didn't like the music Jamie danced to and felt he wasn't in time with it.
I'm just pleased that at long last someone (J.J.) commented on how much Amy struggles, without comment or complaint. She's suffered with Crohns disease for years and has had many operations and is frequently in pain, yet she soldiers on, bless her. I really like her and I'll miss her now J.J's gone but I'm definitely not sorry to see him go.

Well, it was a toss up between the two.....I think Jamie will struggle big time with having to do two dances next week :-0

I didn't realise that about Amy, Kay.....I like her too as she is not as 'gushing' as some of the others <3

Bring on the Semi's :-D

I didn't know that about Amy either. Horrible thing to suffer from, I have two friends whi have it. One is the daughter of a good friend, same age as our daughter and we have known her since birth. She is still running marathons even though suffering.

LondonBelle and AnninGlos. There was a story in the "Entertainment" paper that she had to stop practice once for an afternoon and went to hospital with an "episode" and was prescribed antibiotics and painkillers and went straight back to practice when she was discharged (which is probably what J.J. was referring to in his comments when he was voted )off because she said she was concerned that J.J. might suffer with less practice if she rested.
I agree LondonBelle, she never goes OTT whatever her scores are but she was crying on Sunday when they were voted off. I just hope she doesn't feel it was her fault, bless her heart.

I had no idea about Amy either. The poor girl, she must be in agony at time. I too know someone who has Crohns and they suffer!

We guessed it would be JJ to go, and I think it will be Jaimie next.

I agree, HRVY to win, Ranvir second and Bill third.

The BBC programme about Amy and Crohns.

It must be very difficult for her at times.

OMG, poor Amy <3.

Thank you for that Mr M..... I'll finish watching that later :-)

What a fighter <3

Well, sadly it wasn't Ranvir's night. Her waltz was lovely but the jive :-0 :-0. I think she is the opposite to Jamie she excels with the contact dances but feels a little lost and far less confident when she dances side by side :-D

Talking of Jamie was his second dance really a quickstep :-0. Enjoyable to watch but really :-0. Another example of Jamie not having too much contact with his partner :-0

I think Bill did ok but didn't have that wow factor required at this stage :-(

What a difficult dance the Rumba is for the male celebs and I thought HRVY made as good an attempt as any of the male celebs could have made :-) Loved his Charleston :-D.

Then that leaves Maisie who excelled in both her dances :-D

I think if Ranvir is in the dance off she is out, unless she is allowed to dance her waltz. :-0

Do the Judges or the Dancers get to choose which dance they will do in the dance off
:-S

Others for the dance off are Jamie and Bill :-(

I wonder who the public will save :-0

As usual I agree with LBelle. Loved Maisie's dances, and Ranvir's waltz but her jive was a big disappointment she seemed unable to 'let herself go' quite wooden in places.

I liked the ho down aspect of Jamie's dance but it should have been marked as a quickstep which to me it wasn't, entertaining though.

HRVY I liked both his dances, OK I can't judge the Rumba but it looked good and he looked good too.

Bill, entertaining as usual but, although it was strangely effective, he should have chosen different music for the jive. Semi finals is not the time to choose music that is your favourite.

Seems to be between Ranvir, Bill and Jamie for the dance off but then it will depend on their dances. I have a feeling that the judges choose, maybe they take the best scored dance of each, there must be a standard procedure to avoid being accused of favouritism.

I think there is a clear distinction between Hrvy, Maisie and the rest.
I think Ranvir and Jamie will be in the bottom two. If so,I think that Jamie stands more chance of getting through.

A s for the final result, it has to be Hrvy for the winner

Is that because you think he is better than Maisie Linda or because you think the public like him better? It also does depend I think on how they both dance on the night (if they are both through).

Did anyone notice how alike her sister was to Maisie?

Oh goodness, I am more confused than ever today.

The ones I thought were good last week, did not do so well last night.

I shall resist looking for the spoiler and see who was booted off, but it could be Jaimie or Ranvir.

I think Hrvy will win because the public like him better than Maisie. Yes she is a good dancer and I am sure she will be cherry picked for the West End where she will do well, but she has been groomed for this all of her life. Hrvy on the other hand comes over as being a nice young man and as a total novice he embodies the spirit of the show .

I really hope Hrvy wins next week. He's done brilliantly and deserves to win more than Maisie-with the added bonus that it'll give Janette her first win although she's already on cloud 9 with coming through this far. Three dances next week!! If I remember correctly isn't one of the dances they perform in the final one of their own choice?

I really had hoped that if the Dancers were allowed to pick their dance that Ranvir would get through if she was allowed to do her waltz :-D

I think as Linda has said there is a clear distinction between HRVY & Maisie and Bill & Jamie :-)

Given the Finalists, I would like to see HRVY win......he comes across as a genuinely nice young man. For someone who has had little or no experience he really has been a revelation :-)

Three dances next week :-0

May the best celeb win :-D

Every time Jamie was in the dance off the judges have saved him. The judges like Jamie (Well Shirley does. However, Ranvir didn't do as well and I wonder if that dress didn't halp by hiding her feet.. she was obviously very disappointed. I think HRVY should win though for how he has progressed through his performances and for his sheer determination. I do enjoy Maisie's dances though and I am sure she will end up in musical productions.

Yes I agree , Ann about Ranvir's dress, I think if it had been about 4" shorter it would made a difference. Afterall, she got a higher score than Jamie when they first danced those dances:-0

The fact that Jamie was so enthusiastic vocally I think might have helped him, to be fair though that is not Ranvir's way she was a lot more demure :-)

At the end of the day, I don't think either of them would be able to out dance HRVY or Maisie :-D
