[Kate!]

I was looking forward to 80s week. Any song is not a proper theme. Xx

Sent mine :hee:

[Cherie]

I feel I might be Craig this round :hee:

Lets see

[Alf]

What is Contestants choice? Does that mean it can be literally any song?No it doesn't, because it has to fit the dance we've been given and the dance I've been given has just cut my choice of songs by about 95%

If you'd have asked me which dance I didn't want this round then the one I was given would have been top of that list.

I'm not happy.

[Alf]

When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. But now those days are gone, I'm not so self-assured, and now I find, I change my mind, I've opened up the door.

[Lewismacfarlane]

Just a question if you were actually on strictly who would you want as a pro I'd want Amy

[Alf]

My European Song was easy to choose but I'm not liking anything I'm coming up with in Parms theme choice.

[Vanessa]

Just a question if you were actually on strictly who would you want as a pro I'd want Amy

Giovanni

[Beso]

Anyone want to swap their dance they got given off Jake for Parms theme with me? Anyone not happy with theirs?

My theme is any song ....like any song out of trillions.

Study your dance..think of its origins.

[Alf]

Right, I'm finished searching, I'm going around in circles trying to find the song that's gonna send me into the final, I've realised that song doesn't exist. You can send to the judges for me.

[Beso]

I've been on a constant music trip since this started..

I hope you are still keeping a total of the total scores all added up together jake...

The judges have made this contest really special for myself, and I hope for all the other contestants as well.

Jake's a great host, such a caring person who will make his own mind up on people.

That makes me so happy to know that i know that..

That what TIBB means to me

[Alf]

I'm not happy with mine but I'm still gonna top this rounds Leaderboard and take my rightful place In the final.

Can't believe we have to wait until Tuesday now. Why did I suggest we wait for Niamh?

[Beso]

All remaining contestants....


Post one song you didnt use....

Jake, ignore my last two messages I sent you. I've changed my mind again. I think I've found the song that's gonna send me to the final. I'll send it to you later when I'm sure.

We have a guest judge this week. The lovely Cherie :cheer2:Who exactly is judging this round? Kate, Nicky, Cherie and your good self. Is that it or is Lewis also judging?

[Alf]

Pretty much everything I've come up with has already been done on Strictly. I'm trying to find something original that will also make the judges get on their feet to give me a round of applause whilst shouting "bravo" at me

[Vanessa]

Who exactly is judging this round? Kate, Nicky, Cherie and your good self. Is that it or is Lewis also judging?

I think 5 judges

[Strictly Jake]

The semi final is starting in two minutes time!!

[Strictly Jake]

This is the semi final. This has been the closest competition yet! Only three of these couples will make it through to the grand final and it could be anyone! The themes they are taking on a contestant choice song and European Songs. It's time to hit the dancefloor!

[Strictly Jake]

Contestants Choice Theme

[Strictly Jake]

Alf and Dianne Charleston to Five foot two eyes of blue
JfViTQz0IW4



Cherie: The Charleston is my least favourite dance, this music fitted the theme very well though and not something we have seen before. 9


Nicky: Traditional choice for charleston, playing things safe, yes that might be best i think, good job. 8


Vanessa: This is very much my cup of tea. My feet won't stop moving. It was bloody fantastic! 10!


Lewis: Nice routine I like the charleston. 10!

Kate: You've done yourself proud here. Fit the dance and the mood perfectly. Loved it. 10!

Score:47

[Strictly Jake]

Barry and Amy Rumba to Hold me closer
Fr582m6pW0Q



Cherie: Perfection..never heard this song before but I love it. 10!

Nicky: This is really a great performance, very sensual and very romantic rumba, with a nice contemporary feel to it and to a potential eurovision winning song, one of this years contenders, nice. 9

Vanessa: This was so beautiful and emotional. I loved it! 10!

Lewis: Im not sure about this sorry. 6

Kate: Lovely song selection, well befitting the dance. 9

Score:44

[Strictly Jake]

Niamh and Giovanni Jive to Twist and Shout
2RicaUqd9Hg



Cherie: After the Charleston the jive is my next most hated obs Twist and Shout suits it to a tee but it’s a tad safe. 8

Nicky: Good but kinda boring, bit mediocre. 7

Vanessa: This song is very special to me. It reminds me of my mum. She was The Beatles biggest fan. Great jive. 10!

Lewis: Amazing. 10!

Kate: Ooh la la, this had me bopping. Fantastic, and fizzing marvellous. 10!

Score:45

[Strictly Jake]

Liam and Katya Viennese Waltz to Queen of my heart
6c64kUiqknY



Cherie: Beautiful waltz but playing it safe imo. 8

Nicky: You're the queen of the public, pretty sure you will be sail safely through on public votes, and this was decent, very decent. 9

Vanessa: Wow wow wow you definitely got my heart. This was absolutely gorgeous! I'd give it 11 if I could! 10!

Lewis: Well done gorgeous routine. 10!

Kate: One of Westlifes best song, and it suited the dance to a T. I got lost in the performance and didn't want it to end. 10!

Score: 47

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Nadiya American Smooth to Fly me to the moon
mQR0bXO_yI8



Cherie: Lovely AM but I feel like I’m in Groundhog Day darling another safe song. 8

Nicky: Are you neil armstrong, if so i got some wolves who want to meet you and bring some bananas with you, that pun aside, performance wise very danced by numbers sadly, but this was very classy. 8

Vanessa: A classic dance for a classy couple. Awesome! 10!

Lewis: Well done lovely performance. 9.5

Kate: Terrific. Again, very befitting to the dance. Great choice. 9

Score:44.5

Yep I had to do it earlier as I think it's gonna be a bit chaotic for me later so it's easier for me to do it now :joker:

[Strictly Jake]

European Songs

[Strictly Jake]

Alf and Luba Salsa to little green bag
kipjrg5O0A4



Cherie: Is this a Salsa ...I’m not too sure ...I am no expert so will give it a 8.5

Nicky: Trying to win points by going for a song from my country, LOL as if i fall for this pathetic attempt at bribe, atrocious and very messy salsa. 5

Vanessa: This was soooo much fun! You had me dancing along with you. Well done! 10!

Lewis: A complete dance masterclass. 10!

Kate: Not my personal cup of tea but it fit the vibe and the dance well so I'm still giving it a good score. Quite enjoyed in the end. 8

Score:41.5

[Strictly Jake]

Barry and Amy Tango to Mr Saxobeat
nwsewSMWIas



Cherie: I thought this was maybe a bit fast for a Tango, I could be wrong. 8

Nicky: Suits a charleston more than a tango, although very inspirational choice and very innovative choice which i applaud of course. 10!

Vanessa: Sexy, mischievous and absolutely fabulous! An amazing tango. 10!

Lewis: Much improved 9.5

Kate: Frenetic and fascinating, totally loved the entire performance. 10!

Score:47.5

[Strictly Jake]

Niamh and Giovanni Samba to The Ketchup Song
AMT698ArSfQ



Cherie: Sassy, lively...lovely. 9

Nicky: does this suit samba yes, but is it very original no, this reminds me more of one of those awkward samba dances when ur drunk, and those hips, never ever want to see them ever again pls. 6

Vanessa: Woah, They're going crazy here! Everyone is on their feet! 10!

Lewis: Sorry not a fan. 5.5

Kate: Bravo, muchas enjoyment was afforded by this effort. You tore up the dancefloor. 10!

Score: 40.5

[Strictly Jake]

Liam and Katya Argentine Tango to Telephone
AmCBOGpfexQ



Cherie: Passionate, dramatic fabulous 10!

Nicky: Have to deduct some points for it having been used before on strictly, not very original from that perspective, i like the song anyway so. 7

Vanessa: I wasn't sure about this at first, but now I think it's absolutely remarkable. This may be one of the best ATs I've seen so far. Spectacular! 10!

Lewis: I enjoyed this. 9.5

Kate: Wasn't keen at all on this, the routine was hit and miss. Sorry. 6

Score:42.5

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Nadiya Paso Doble to Espana Cani
PbT62cooeGs



Cherie: Inspired would have given 11 if I could, the bull in the audience. Lol! 10!

Nicky: LOL LOL LOL LOL have no words for this at all, been used in almost every series of strictly, dwts, every version worldwide i think for paso, LOL. 5


Vanessa: There's nothing I love more than a Paso danced to traditional music. It makes everything so much better.
It was intense and absolutely mesmerising. Bravo! 10!

Lewis: Wow wow wow well done. 10!

Kate: Didn't do anything for me, felt it was somewhat jarring. Again Sorry. 6

Just realised from looking back over the performances

Barry was given the salsa twice. Sorry about that Barry

Liam had the Argentine tango twice although one of those he chose the dance himself for icon strictly week

Sorry to you two. Although your through to the final anyway

[Strictly Jake]

Where is everyone?

[Kate!]

I'm here.

Congrats to Barry and Liam for making the final. Good luck to Niamh, Alf and Parmy. You've all been absolute amazing this series. I've enjoyed it so much.

Great work Jake:love: your efforts are appreciated.

This will be a cracking final!

[Vanessa]

I'm here.

[Niamh.]

Looks like this will be the end of the road for me, I think Alf & Parmnion did better over all this time round anyway. Good luck to the finalists :love:

[Liam-]

Happy with those scores, thank you :love:

[Alf]

Put Parm through to the final. I'm not taking part with Nicky judging. He gave me a 5 because the song chouce was from Holland and accused me of bribing him, which cost me a place in the final. That's not a critique.

[Alf]

I just don't know many European artists, especially ones that do songs to fit a Central/South American dance. That was the best I could think of, it had nothing to do with trying to bribe you Nicky.

[Strictly Jake]

Put Parm through to the final. I'm not taking part with Nicky judging. He gave me a 5 because the song chouce was from Holland and accused me of bribing him, which cost me a place in the final. That's not a critique.

But the judges don't score in the final. It makes no difference to the overall result

[AnnieK]

Put Parm through to the final. I'm not taking part with Nicky judging. He gave me a 5 because the song chouce was from Holland and accused me of bribing him, which cost me a place in the final. That's not a critique.

I got kicked out because Nicky didn't like the person I chose for a dance. Tough judging this time round

[Niamh.]

I got kicked out because Nicky didn't like the person I chose for a dance. Tough judging this time round

and I got a 1 for choosing Caroline Flacks show dance because I was looking for sympathy? :/

[Kate!]

Put Parm through to the final. I'm not taking part with Nicky judging. He gave me a 5 because the song chouce was from Holland and accused me of bribing him, which cost me a place in the final. That's not a critique.

Don't do that please Alf, for those of us who have voted you through to the final. Like Jake said judges don't have any more scoring to do now. Its all down to the anonymous poll. Xx

[Alf]

But the judges don't score in the final. It makes no difference to the overall resultI don't want to take part in anything Nicky is in.

I put time and effort into this and to lose my place in the final because I chose a song from a certain European country when the theme was European countries is an absolute kick in the face.

If he'd have given a 5 because he wasn't keen on the song choice then that would be fair enough, but the reason he gave was pathetic.

[Alf]

Parm deserves the other place in the final anyway. He's been the best contestant all the way through.

[Kate!]

I think Jake you have to sack Nicky off. He causes too much offence. There's no need to be snide as a judge. The contestants put a lot of effort in.

[Kate!]

Don't do that please Alf, for those of us who have voted you through to the final. Like Jake said judges don't have any more scoring to do now. Its all down to the anonymous poll. Xx

Please read this Alf. :hug:

[Cherie]

Tbf to Nicky you did say you chose a song to impress him in the past think it was Beauty and the Beast, you might have been joking, hard to know :laugh:

Anyhow the voting is very tight so no one is out of this yet

Yes Cherie but there's nothing amiss with wanting to impress the judges, it's quite a bit different to Nickys wild accusations of outright bribery. Sometimes he's not very fair.

[Vanessa]

I don't want to take part in anything Nicky is in.

I didn't even know the song was from Holland.
I know it from the movie Reservoir Dogs.

[Vanessa]

Yes Cherie but there's nothing amiss with wanting to impress the judges, it's quite a bit different to Nickys wild accusations of outright bribery. Sometimes he's not very fair.

I agree. The song was as European, so it fitted the theme and I thought it was brilliant.

[Nicky91]

:fan: :fan:


all about lighthearted entertainment though and i provide the entertainment

[Alf]

:fan: :fan:


all about lighthearted entertainment though and i provide the entertainmentYou are right though. European music is awful and it got the low scores it deserves, especially the crap music that comes out of Holland.

If you want good music you have to look to the UK or America. Those Europeans are amateurs, especially the Dutch who are music illiterates.

That's why Eurovision is seen as a joke with crappy music.

[Kate!]

:fan: :fan:


all about lighthearted entertainment though and i provide the entertainment

Your comments were out of order

[Beso]

I would have given it a 4.

[Beso]

FAO cherie..

Train at 12.13 tomorrow.

[Alf]

I would have given it a 4.The score isn't the issue. It's the reason given for that score, which was pathetic. Even more so for a semi-final. Even more so when I missed out on the final by 1 point.

[Beso]

The score isn't the issue. It's the reason given for that score, which was pathetic. Even more so for a semi-final. Even more so when I missed out on the final by 1 point.

I totally agree, the judges have been strange.

[Vanessa]

Yes, the reason given was not fair.
And the actual song was good.

[Cherie]

FAO cherie..

Train at 12.13 tomorrow.

Bittersweet I would imagine

[Vanessa]

I always try to be positive. Not to be offensive to anyone.

[Cherie]

The score isn't the issue. It's the reason given for that score, which was pathetic. Even more so for a semi-final. Even more so when I missed out on the final by 1 point.

I was voted out by two people who voted for me in the final poll :joker: it is what it is

[Beso]

Bittersweet I would imagine

Very....its gonna be 26 degree at the weekend.

[Cherie]

Very....its gonna be 26 degree at the weekend.

You can always come back :laugh:

[Alf]

Close the poll. I pick treat if you're still doing trick or treat.

[Beso]

2 go through alf...

https://youtu.be/PyHr-4SeILI

[Alf]

2 go through alf...

https://youtu.be/PyHr-4SeILINo. 3 in the final. That was decided with the trick that Cherie chose last.

[Kate!]

Close the poll. I pick treat if you're still doing trick or treat.

I don't agree with you withdrawing Alf. I have wasted my votes for you for the duration of the game if you do so. :nono:

[Alf]

I don't agree with you withdrawing Alf. I have wasted my votes for you for the duration of the game if you do so. :nono:Parm has topped the poll, so I'm not withdrawing, I've been voted out.

[Kate!]

Parm has topped the poll, so I'm not withdrawing, I've been voted out.

It only closes at 10pm.

[Beso]

No. 3 in the final. That was decided with the trick that Cherie chose last.

Ah ok..

Yeah, close the vote.

[Alf]

It only closes at 10pm.It doesn't usually. It usually closes after a hour or two.

[Strictly Jake]

It doesn't usually. It usually closes after a hour or two.

This is the semi final though and the vote is very close

[Strictly Jake]

I'm not going to do the box this time as I think it's unfair to influence the final plus there won't be any scores to change etc. Unless anyone can think of any good treats or tricks

[Kate!]

How many judges to post comments for the final Jake?

[Kate!]

Barry and Liam might vote yet.

[Beso]

We could stick nicky in the box and post it far away as a treat.

[Alf]

This is the semi final though and the vote is very closeIt's not gonna change. There's no members on here that are gonna vote that already haven't.

Parm finished top of the poll and also finished top overall over the series. He deserves his place in the final.

I'm happy I made it to this stage, I'm just disappointed with the reasons Nicky gave.

[Kate!]

We could stick nicky in the box and post it far away as a treat.

:joker:

And as a trick. Remove one judge.

[Strictly Jake]

How many judges to post comments for the final Jake?

I'm just going to have the originals You and Vanessa. And the two that leave

More judges than that would be a bit too much

[Kate!]

I'm just going to have the originals You and Vanessa. And the two that leave

More judges than that would be a bit too much

Yes I agree. Great. Thanks

[Kate!]

Shall I remind Barry and Liam to vote?

[Beso]

I want to stand down as well..we need a lady in the final

[Kate!]

I want to stand down as well..we need a lady in the final

No Parmy. This is bull****. No offence to Niamh who I adore :love:

[Beso]

It's ok, topping the scoring charts for the entire series is enough for me.

[Kate!]

Niamh will not agree to this. People have voted.

[Barry.]

I want to stand down as well..we need a lady in the final

But I’m a lady/David Walliam

[Strictly Jake]

Noone is standing down we are going off the votes. Parmnion you have never made the final before and I'd hate for you to miss out on it when people have voted you to be there

[Strictly Jake]

It is time to find out the results

Alf and Luba, Niamh and Giovanni , Parmnion and Nadiya

The public have been voting for who they want to send through to the final


I can now reveal the last couple to make the final is




Parmnion and Nadiya


Big congratulations

Barry and Amy
Liam and Katya
Parmnion and Nadiya

You have all made the final!


Sorry to see Alf and Luba and Niamh and Giovanni leave at this stage you have both been fantastic!

[Kate!]

Congratulations Parmy. They think it's all over. It is now. :love:

[Niamh.]

Well done Parmy, thanks for having me Jake

[Kate!]

Commiserations Niamh and Alf, you've both been bloody outstanding. Have a round of applause. :clap1:

[Strictly Jake]

Well done Parmy, thanks for having me Jake

Always a pleasure :laugh:

[Alf]

Thanks for hosting Jake, I enjoyed it and it was educational learning about the origins and evolution of the different styles of dances along the way. It took me all weekend to grasp the Charleston as you know but I think I worked it out in the end.

[Beso]

I shall graciously accept everyones votes, and turn up for the final.

Thank you past contestants, some very fierce competition going into the last few rounds.

[Strictly Jake]

Thanks for hosting Jake, I enjoyed it and it was educational learning about the origins and evolution of the different styles of dances along the way. It took me all weekend to grasp the Charleston as you know but I think I worked it out in the end.

Alf you've been legendary. What a series for you!! Well done

[Vanessa]

Aw well done everyone!

[Beso]

Can someone explain what a show dance is

[Alf]

My only regret is not putting enough effort into my Salsa dance. I spent so much time trying to find my Charleston dance that the Salsa got neglected a bit.

I did find a couple of good Salsa dances but everytime I Googled where the artist came from it wasn't Europe.

If I had a Waltz I would have nailed it. So many great classical Waltzes to choose from and classical music is mainly European artists.

[Cherie]

Congrats Parmy, good luck to Baz and Liam also

[Kate!]

Congrats Parmy, good luck to Baz and Liam also

Thank God us judges don't have to choose who makes the 3rd finalist out of Parm, Niamh and Alf. I'd be so torn.

yes phew!

[Lewismacfarlane]

I have no idea who will win I have my preference but thats only because of the pro there paired with

[Alf]

Can someone explain what a show dance isI don't know, but how I interpret it is, any song that you think will get you the most votes and therefore be crowned the champion. You have to woo the voters.

Last series Niamh won with this as her Showdance.

[Strictly Jake]

Liam and Katya with their Charleston
T2kOj-GFN8k


Alf: MILF. Marvelous Inventive Leggy Frisky

Niamh: My favourite week I think, love the Charleston too, great song choice


Vanessa: I always liked how modern this Charleston was. You gave it everything. Well done!

Kate: Definitely final worthy Liam, you've put on a very consistent show throughout, good luck.

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Nadiya with their Cha Cha
Zx1_6F-nCaw



Alf: You may be crowned The King tonight with that effort

Niamh: Really good song choice, suits the dance very well

Vanessa: You're on to a winner here. It doesn't get more perfect than this. Genius!

Kate: You've given us plenty to talk about Parmy and lots of action. Speaks louder than words. You deserve your final place. Good luck.

[Strictly Jake]

Barry and Amy with their Salsa
3MxcbB0SFao



Alf: Competition is tough and I'm afraid after this one fell a little behind. I need to see more tits and teeth darling.

Niamh: An unsual song choice for the Salsa but it surprisingly works well

Vanessa: Quite a chilled salsa, but I like it. Great work from you!

Kate: Not what I'd have chosen for the final from your great repertoire but like Liam your versatility shines.

[Strictly Jake]

Liam and Katya with their Breakdance
na7lIb09898



Alf: Wasn't really my kind of boogie but the effort was there and you deserve something for effort

Niamh: Love some Missy Elliot, another great choice

Vanessa: Great to see this amazing dance again. I think it's just brilliant and you smashed it.

Kate: Preferred Stacy's mom but this shows your versatility and all round entertainment factor.

[Strictly Jake]

Parmnion and Nadiya with their Flamenco
0EKAy1rCciI



Alf: Haunting. So scary I had to change underpants half way through, which I see as a bonus.

Niamh: I think this might be my favourite performance of the season actually, brilliant, haunting, passionate and powerful

Vanessa: One of my favourite dances so far on this show. Original choice of music and very dramatic

Kate: This has grown on me to the extent that I'd give it an 11 at this point if only I could. Atmospheric and dramatic. Bravo!

[Strictly Jake]

Barry and Amy with their Tango nwsewSMWIas



Alf: Much improved. I asked for tits and teeth and you gave us that here

Niamh: Little bit too fast i thought for a tango but it's different!

Vanessa: I absolutely adored this the first time and i love it even more now. Really fun and sexy

Kate: Gave this a ten the first time round and nothing has lessened its appeal. Well done Baz. Good luck.

[Strictly Jake]

You should have voted, instead of sulking.

You weren't? Jake clearly stated 4 judges were enough. Me, Ness plus Alf and Niamh. You're far too negative by the way.

[Alf]

Well done Parm.

Keep the trophy safe for me until next time.

[Strictly Jake]

Trust Nicky to put a negative ending on this

[Beso]

Well done Parm.

Keep the trophy safe for me until next time.

Thanks alf..I will polish it daily.

Which song was Liams and which was Barry's please?

[Strictly Jake]

Which song was Liams and which was Barry's please?

Liam's was number two freed from desire
Barry's was number three two hearts

[Alf]

I have an idea for a new kind of one of these music type of games. It's called... "So you wanna be a rock superstar"

The rounds would be done in the different categories of rock music, for example... Rock n roll, British invasion, heavy metal rock, Art/Glam rock, punk rock, independent rock, alternative rock, Brit pop ect...

I'm just brainstorming ideas.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how does this idea score with you?

Like it Alf. Keep me in mind as a reliable judge?

[The Slim Reaper]

Congrats dude, Doesn't parmy win all of these or am i confused or misremembering?

[Strictly Jake]

Parm has never won. He has never made a final either. So it's a pretty big deal

[Strictly Jake]

Like it Alf. Keep me in mind as a reliable judge?

Why does it all have to be rock. Why don't we just make a new music show in general? I'd be a judge

[Cherie]

Congrats Parmy, well deserved :love:

[Alf]

Why does it all have to be rock. Why don't we just make a new music show in general? I'd be a judgeIt doesn't just have to be rock. I just thought of rock because it has many different styles of that genre. You could change it to just any music with different rounds such as Opera, Classical, pop, Folk, Country, reggae, rock, jazz, Soul, Blues, Hip hop ect

[Beso]

Congrats Parm....a worthy winner :love:

Thank you anniek:dance:
