Did you like Karim tango? That had me hot under the collar. I must admit

I agree. He doesn't get me excited, like some of the others do. I need to see the passion as well as the dancing.

For me Karim absolutely smashed it. Deserved the 10s. It was about time!
I did like Kelvin rumba and Emma ballroom.
But Catherine left me cold.
That was a very weird song for a Charleston.

[Nicky91]

Karim luckily isn't tooo theatre like a Danny John-Jules was in his dancing

so yeah this is Amy's first real possible contender

They were both ill, but still did great

very fast, which makes it more difficult for charleston, so even more impressive

Emma Jive, well i was dreading a upbeat dance, because i thought she would flop massively with anything energetic, upbeat but she positively surprised me

she's a ballroom girl for sure but her fun side is also interesting

[Strictly Jake]

Just watched as I was out last night

Some very big suprises

Mike a 9?

Wow!

And David james improvement!!

Do you annoy yourself Nicky? Slated Emma like mad yesterday and I said it's what you do before you shove her down our throats again and sure enough look at your avatar and sig

You are one very conflicted personality

honestly yes, i have problems, but you would know this, since we know each other on here for quite a long time now

even Mike who i might cheer for a bit, yes because of that song come on eileen, i listen to that quite a lot unusual for quickstep so i'm curious what katya has come up with now

i'm thinking something like chess, due to what her dress is like but i could be wrong though

Prime example

You promised me you wouldnt do it this time so I'm very disappointed

[Nicky91]

results show tonight, with guest performance of Keith Urban

[Vanessa]

It's nice to see Amy so excited. This will be her first salsa. Hope she's feeling better

[Nicky91]

Will having contemporary couple's choice

he's not elegant enough for that, also you need loads of finesse for that

even saffron struggled with contemporary, and i rate her higher than Will, dance quality wise


Alex possibly doing charleston, she's wooden, i don't know if she's able to pull off a good charleston, but then again even bad quality charlestons have proven to be entertaining


Michelle doing rumba , her hips even more exposed than in the salsa and in salsa i already found it lacking hip action, bit stiff i mean while Gio's hips were clearly visible and on point

[Vanessa]

Kelvin not working on his ballroom is a big mistake. You can't just do Latin, you need to practice your ballroom as well.

He has 8 more weeks to do Ballroom

Considering his last ballroom wasn't great, he should be working on it already.

[Nicky91]

Emma & Aljaz came across lovely on ITT last night, also got a applause for their comments on the dance off i noticed

viennese waltz to a whitney tune glad she's back at ballroom, her more stronger area, even though it was nice to see some fun side of her either, i agree with Artem there, he appreciated her Jive, with the fun and quite technically difficult tricks

[Nicky91]

Lady Emma being most improved of the week according to Ian

her training bit of VW looked great, i definitely prefer a more natural ballroom hold, head position, flower in vase shape, her head looks natural, nothing over stretched, which isn't good either as Darcey would say


her VW dress, traditional ballroom white, sort of wedding dress

[Nicky91]

what a line up for the hour long ITT show tonight

those love me do's *cough* mike and katya

and another no hoper david and nadiya

and catherine and johannes

and music from the script

why not place those no hopers on wednesday, thursday shows and more interesting couples for the hour long Friday show

[Nicky91]

i'm myself mostly looking forward to

Emma and Aljaz's viennese waltz

Will and Janette's Contemporary (7 years is perfect for that dance, and i hope they do it justice)

Karim and Amy's Salsa (i personally adore who let the dogs out, cheesy fun song, for a party fun dance, great combo if you ask me)

[Vanessa]

Good luck to all the couples.
Everyone is working hard and no one wants to go home.
But there are so many great dancers that were going to lose some good ones along the way.
All we can do is vote and pray

[Vanessa]

While we wait for the main show, have you guys seen the Hackertdog challenge on YouTube? Its hilarious

I love Who let the dogs out.
I just hope that Karim and Amy have fun tonight.
If they enjoy it, the public will as well

[Nicky91]

apart from me Nessa everyone can vote, and all i can do feel nervous, scared


my thoughts seeing training footage, performance talks, who might be in danger zone

Michelle & Gio, having struggled this week with rumba, not the only one anyway out of female celebs who struggle with rumba, + americans and GBP isn't helpful either

Cath & Johannes, flying in a tango, ummm that has nothing to do with tango, and she needs to showcase a basic standard ballroom first of all, since her last ballroom she did, didn't end too well in week 1 remember, bad choices there

Saffron, she struggled with foxtrot, bit of injury worries but she's fine, so i hope they didn't miss as much training, since i think they needed all the hours here

David, his jive looked decent, but behind on most of the other couples, bar Mike and Katya ofc

Mike, wishful thinking i want him gone, and not another better couple who gives me more effort, better dancing, but shame he got the dad fanbase the dads should really support David instead who puts more effort in technique, actual dancing

Viscountess Emma, due to lacking a fanbase, but her VW training looked good so i am hoping she'll be high enough on leaderboard to keep her safe, many on bbc blogs like her though

Alex and Neil, she needs that wow moment and she needs that soon, public can't save your arse all the time, they aren't eternally forgiving, charleston is a crowdpleasing dance apart from Anneka then or another no hoper like tony jacklin, gregg wallace, kirsty Gallagher who all went out on charleston

Chris and Karen, his quickstep training, he looked worse than David, but i guess he is safe because of likeability, fun factor and i 100% prefer Chris to Mike
