As I rewarded Lewis and Dianne with an extra 3 points this week they top the leaderboard and Lewis will be choosing the next theme

[Strictly Jake]

1. Lewis and Dianne 23
2. Parmnion and Nadiya 20
3. Cherie and Gorka 19.5
3. Liam and Katya 19.5
4. Barry and Amy 19
4. Alf and Luba 19
5. Annie and Alijaz 18
6. Niamh and Giovanni 17
6. Nicky and Nancy 17

[Strictly Jake]

If this was our usual game our dance off would be Niamh VS Nicky. But we are going to the forum vote again!

[Lewismacfarlane]

Omg top of the leaderboaed

[Nicky91]

i massively struggled this week, so i tried to be innovative this week


and for me that song works for a charleston, at least a very showy modern take on charleston, maybe not that good for lots of swivel action, but i do hear lots of elements in that song which i connect to a charleston dance

[Beso]

Maximum points 2 weeks running and can still leave the show.

Yeah this whole voting thing is a little.. weird to me

Judges scores and public votes are combined on the real show so it's a bit more like the real show. Anyone could leave. The two with the lowest scores after the votes will be in the dance off.

Could you explain it, please? I don't understand it.
But it sounds interesting.

U have to use music from an iconic strictly dance routine

That will be really hard though as the song will be synonymous with the strictly routine so will be hard to put it with another dance

[Lewismacfarlane]

I'll change it

Ah ok. Thanks.
I think this theme requires a bit of research.
I might have a go myself.

LEADERBOARD AFTER VOTE

1. Parmnion and Nadiya 24
1. Annie and Alijaz 24
1. Alf and Luba 24
2. Lewis and Dianne 23 ALREADY SAFE
3. Cherie and Gorka 22.5
4. Barry and Amy 22
5. Liam and Katya 21.5
6. Niamh and Giovanni 19
6. Nicky and Nancy 19

So the danceoff is still Niamh Vs Nicky.
Kate and Vanessa you will now choose who to send home. Whoever leaves gets to choose from the trick or treat box and is hopefully our new permanent judge!

[Kate!]

I'd like to save Niamh please.

[Strictly Jake]

You and Vanessa will have to make the same decision so you might need to pm each other

[Vanessa]

I save Niamh as well. I think the song fitted with the theme better.
This was hard, I actually did like Nicki's song.

[Niamh.]

ah thanks guys

[Strictly Jake]

So Nicky leaves in 9th place. He will be our new judge and will get to choose from the trick or treat box
