That was lovely. Somewhat ethereal.

The music was poor for me for Annabel.

Nice routine but not memorable.
Sadly.

[Kate!]

I think Annabel is going home

It wasn't undermarked

It depends who is top two with the public. I'm thinking Ellie is definitely through. The second one either Annabelle or Bobby.

[Vanessa]

Ellie and Vito couples choice. This should be good.

Yes, fair point. I guess she could turn the leader board around. Hmmm. It's gonna be an interesting one.

[joeysteele]

I don't think couples choice should be in the quarter or semi finals.

However good luck Ellie but she can't top the leaderboard now even with a 40 score.

It's allowed. Remember Will and Nancy has theirs in the semifinals as well?

Oh I love couples choice though. There have been so many amazing ones. X

[Vanessa]

I'm loving this. It's a bop

[joeysteele]

I don't mind them during the series and in the final.
I just think not in the quarter or semi finals.
It was really good however.

[Kate!]

That was amazing!!

[joeysteele]

Really strong semi final though.
Really enjoyable.

[Kate!]

It's a shame for whoever goes home

[Kate!]

Voted

[Vanessa]

Voted Ellie and Vito.

[Mystic Mock]

I loved Bobby's song choice for the Paso.

Imo though it's very blatant that the Show wants Annabel to leave so that Ellie has an easier time in the final, it's somehow managed to be more rigged than Hamza last year.

Tbf all of the internet polls have Bobby as bottom.

[Nicky91]

alright, quite a competitive semi final (although apart from the continued overhype of one particular annoying pest)

Bobby & Dianne

Quickstep: simply breathtaking gorgeous traditional ballroom at its finest, wow 10

Paso Doble: his face but honestly this was great, those shapings were clean, precise, the attack throughout i agree with Shirley could've had more breathing moments maybe but all in all strong competent paso 9


Layton & Nikita

Rumba: he added ballet moves in a rumba, he made that possible lmao, too little hip action for me and indeed danced way too aggressive rather than soft, sensual moves 6

Charleston: no way near a perfect 40 for me, i only saw one forward swivel, which also was rushed through, wasn't executed cleanly, was this even a charleston idk, didn't see much charleston content, and those acrobatics is just clownery what i don't pay attention to, disaster, almost forgot wasn't in sync in the beginning with the umbrella prop and halfway through as well also not in sync 4


Annabel & Johannes

Salsa: a shame she made mistakes couple times, also in the beginning, good effort but sadly this is the semi, no place for just efforts 7

Viennese Waltz: undermarked, this was beautiful, elegant, enchanting 9


Ellie & Vito

Cha Cha Cha: had expected to be seeing worse and lesser straightened legs honestly pre-performance, strong performance for sure, great musicality and chemistry either 10

Couples Choice: so you can dance different dance styles to dua lipa music, thank you Ellie for proving me wrong those lifts PHENOMENAL, a champion worthy couples choice! dance of the series for me personally 11

that's bad news for Annabel then


Layton needs more to be the least popular for her own chances of avoiding the bottom two

[AnnieK]

Lol Nicky, I love reading your opinions but you are letting yourself down with the Layton critique by allowing your dislike of him to cloud your judgement. He is an amazing dancer, should he be in a competition like Strictly, possibly not but he didn't book himself, have a go at the BBC but to slate his dancing is silly. The Charleston was fantastic

i didn't see any swivel, and swivel is the main technical ingredient of a Charleston


Craig i am disappointed in him for not saying anything about this, but yeah his bias towards theatre boy
