At this stage in the running , I think we've seen all Pete & Chris can give us . good effort from them both . But now the competition should be serious and actually about the best dancing.

So it's definitely ashame Jamie has gone ,as he was a contender for sure .

I can't see Montell getting in the final. She doesn't have the fan base. I'm backing JB now. Love him and Lauren together. They're brilliant.

pretty sure Pete will get to the final now

no matter how good or bad he dances


britain's own Bobby Bones or Sean Spicer more like

I think Pete clearly has a good number of votes in from the public.
From last place at this stage with the judges to not be in the bottom 2 is quite something.

Doesn't matter how many are voting for him, it's down to how many votes whoever is voting for him actually gives him.
I like Pete actually.

I'm probably though backing Sarah now.
After Jamie going, that was really awful him going this week.

I'm really sorry but I don't want to see a Chris win this series.
I do admire his work and efforts on the show but taking that he's blind out of the equation, I don't see that much extra special in his routines, sorry for that.

Chris and Pete have been at the bottom a lot with the judges, and it's the public that have kept them in, on the other hand Jamie has not been voted for by the public.

Except that he hypothetically could've finished 4th in the vote and because of the leaderboard placing him low on the leaderboard, he then ends up in the bottom two.

The leaderboard this series has manipulated quite a few popular contestants out of the Show that most likely were not in the bottom two in the public vote on the nights that they were eliminated.

Yes that's true. The show is heavily manipulated to get the people they want out.

It really is imo.

Especially this series, it's really noticeable what they're doing to get certain contestants to be eliminated.

Like with Jamie for example they just placed him right near the three most popular contestants on the leaderboard, making it almost impossible for him to avoid the bottom two.

They did the same with Nigel last year. But I suspect Nigel was top two of the vote. So was never in danger of the dance off.

Sam also left too soon. Deserved to stay longer.

in terms of the dance off result

Jamie's foxtrot it was beautiful but up against MoJo's quickstep, i also felt they gave it that extra bit of oomph

tbh stand by me is a classic and lovely tune, but nothing really wow you can do with that either

while get happy also a classic tune, but you can do more with that, and MoJo did get everything out of that they could've


i really don't know why Montell isn't liked by more people, she's a fabulous dancer and i personally like her personality, but yeah maybe she plateau'd a little after her fab couples choice routine, also i find her quite a nice allrounder although more a ballroom girl than a latin girl

[Nicky91]

i guess this was so much bad luck for Jamie this week

a combination of

1) being undermarked, due to high judges expectations for whatever reason

2) a not too standout routine

3) having high vote getters Chris, Pete below you on the leaderboard

[millyrose]

Pete could easily make the final.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I want JB in the final.

if Pete makes the final, cancel this show for good, and don't allow any other channel to take it over either


go obsess over the politics since that is what UK only cares about, VOTE VOTE VOTE

[Nicky91]

they stitched up Jamie with confusing comments, bottom three of the leaderboard

a not too memorable routine (nothing more Michelle could've done with this music choice honestly)

do think he should've used his couples choice, but apparently he didn't want to, since that isn't an official dance style and he only wanted to do from the latin/ballroom or specialty dances

maybe that didn't sit right with production either
