Kate VS Parmnion VS Nicky

[Nicky91]

WHAT, NO, WHAT

i think the judges also didn't understand the theme then


1) my song brilliantly contemporary for argentine tango
2) this is a personal magic moment for me, with this song, first of all i loved that film a lot, brought me to tears and secondly Nico & Vadim their magic moment freestyle to this in lets dance, still also the best same-sex dance for me personally



as for what everyone else submitted, hmm not bad

[Strictly Jake]

Congratulations Vanessa for topping the leaderboard. You get to choose the next theme!

2nd on the leaderboard, and now in the dance off

enough evidence why you should vote for me to stay in the competition

[Beso]

Jake..you sent in the wrong entry for mine.

[Kate!]

OK, while I was bottom of the board, just eliminate me and let Nicky and Parm stay.

I'll be happy to judge.

This is what happens when you literally change your mind every five mins and send me multiple private messages. I thought you said you would have this song in the end. Never mind sorry

OK thank you Jake. It saves you a lot of messing about. Xx

[Nicky91]

thank you Kate and i'm sure you'll do as wonderful as ever as a judge

[Vanessa]

I always expect to flop. Didn't I expect to be at the top at all.
I'm glad you liked the song. It was a big risk.

[Vanessa]

A 70s theme. We haven't had one in ages!

[Vanessa]

To clarify, any song released from 1970 to 1979. Anything outside that does not qualify.

[Niamh.]

My 3 were one I thought the judges would like most, one I liked the most and a wild card but i think fits the dance best, i decided on option 3 in the end

[Kate!]
