5. Vanessa and Giovanni Rumba to no time to die from James bond no time to die


Toy Soldier: I enjoyed the song... and I really did try... but I'm sorry I just can't fit this to a Rumba. It's not working for me and I feel that in this stage of the game, our contestants should be fitting the song to the dance a little more proficiently.

Barry: I actually thought this was good. It did go well with your dance and it was a tune

Parmnion: Hopefully the other 2 judges give you a 0 each, to go with my 7...that would be as spooky as this number was, so I give you an 8 for that

Toy Soldier:6
Barry:9
Parmnion:8

Score:23

6. Niamh and Graziano with an American Smooth to Jungle Boogie from Pulp Fiction


Toy Soldier: Smooth as buttah, a very relaxed and competent performance. Well done

Barry: It’s from a classic movie and it was done well

Parmnion: You got down last week, but this week, you got right back up

Toy Soldier:9
Barry:8
Parmnion:10!

Score:27

7. Liam and Dianne Paso Doble to I don Quixote from Man of la Mancha


Toy Soldier: Honestly I don't think I can fault this one... I was very unsure at first but this was great fun. Finished this half of the show with a smile, completely different to our opening and yet a perfect bookend

Barry: Good paso here. It went with the song and it was a fun watch

Parmnion: The best of the night, took me all the way to Spain and back

Act 2 is our Musicals round

1. Lewis and Amy with a Waltz to Sandy from Grease


Toy Soldier: Mhh I don't know. It was OK but I can't get the rhythym to fit with the Waltz in my head.

Barry: Sandy! It’s wasn’t a risk as Grease is so well known but I liked it still. Good job.

Parmnion: What will they say, I will tell you what they will say. They will say, you are a winner. Why I I, well because this song took things to another level

Toy Soldier:7
Barry:9
Parmnion:10!

Score:26

2. Jake and Katya with a Contemporary to how does a moment last forever from Beauty and the Beast


Toy Soldier: Again the dance was OK but I'd prefer to see a lot more drama in a Contemporary.

Barry: Beautiful. I adored this

Parmnion: I got christmas chills listening and watching this, exactly what the show needed

Toy Soldier:7
Barry:10!
Parmnion:10!

3. Alf and Karen with a Cha Cha to Hernando's Hideaway from Pajama Game


Toy Soldier: While this was... delightfully weird! - I'm afraid I don't think it was a cha cha or really anything resembling one.

Barry: I think this was a fab choice. You went with something I don’t think was done before (Jake confirm). Great chipotle

Parmnion: I know a fantastic joint as well, it got me through this, luckily for you I'm tapping my feet to this

4. Kazanne and Johannes with a Viennese Waltz to Time to say goodbye from POTOpera


Toy Soldier: A respectable performance, I enjoyed it. Didn't blow my socks off

Barry: Ugh this round is so good. I loved this.

Parmnion: More pot, delightfully intriguing, to the extent I wanted more. Some good songs this round

5. Vanessa and Giovanni with Theatre Jazz to Anything goes from Anything goes


Toy Soldier: Very lively and again a lot of fun with this one, a very colourful performance.

Barry: It’s another 10! You lot made this round a good one.

Parmnion: Thank you, thank you thank you. This took me back to the sunday mornings of my old man skipping about the 70s kitchen making a our fry ups

6. Niamh and Graziano with a Salsa to Real from Rio


Toy Soldier: A bit of spice in the penultimate performance, love to see it. I enjoyed the song and the dance.

Barry: Ugh it goes with the salsa. A bit short but good nonetheless

Parmnion: More excellence

Toy Soldier:9
Barry:10!
Parmnion:10!

7. Closing the show is Liam and Dianne with a Foxtrot to Roxie from Chicago


Toy Soldier: A nice close to the show, I thought this went quite well, but maybe not particularly memorable

Barry: It was good, and had a good tune behind it. Well done.

Parmnion: Another 10, because I cant give 11s

As it's a double elimination 3 couples face the dance off. Only I feel it's my time to bow out it's only fair as I'm the host. So the dance off is going to be between Alf and Karen VS Lewis and Amy. You will be able to send one of these couples to the quarter final.

Congratulations everyone else you made the Quarter final!!

Kazanne and Vanessa I would like you both to choose a theme each for next week!

Everyone did amazingly well on the musicals round!

Well done everyone. A high standard x

I did think to myself when judging, and I quote!!

"Oh for **** sake, another ****ing 20 million songs to write something about"


But it ended up being the best day of the week, and perhaps the highlight of the show.

For me anyway.

I don't wanna be in the dance off, I quit, it's absolute bollox.

"Not a Cha Cha"

I searched the Internet to find the most Cha Cha song for a musical song and this one came up the most. And to then be told "it's not" is just ridiculous.

Same people every round at the top of the leaderboard and same at the bottom. Waste of time.

My forth time at the bottom, I deserve to go.

Oh wow, can't believe I got (joint) top this week, thanks Judges :love:

The judges don't know who sent the songs in though Alf

Yeah it's anonymous Alf. They are basing it purely on the songs

Tough titties...people have taken time to vote you to stay, so you will have to get on with it.

The Quarter Finalists are

Niamh and Graziano
Liam and Dianne
Kazanne and Johannes
Alf and Karen
Vanessa and Giovanni

Well done

Kazanne has chosen the theme of Motown. Just waiting on Vanessa's choice of theme

Genuinely didn’t expect to get that high, cheers judges
