That was good!

[Kate!]

Harvey nailed that performance. Xx

[Amy Jade]

He should honestly take up dancing because his singing isn't going well

So do the fans sadly who vote for him purely based upon that reason.

Not all of us, I’m also supporting Bill and Maisie and don’t fancy either, I’m a fan and follower of his career anyway, so was always going to support, but he has exceeded my expectations, especially considering he’s partnered with Janette, who I’d never really rated before.

I never said all or you specifically but you know it happens

Oh it happens for sure, but that’s not to detract from the fact that he’s been a fantastic dancer, I know people who have voted for Maisie purely because they fancy her, but yeah it does happen more for males

[Vanessa]

Are you kidding me? Hrvy is a fantastic dancer.
His looks have nothing to do with his dancing ability.
He's the one I enjoyed watching dance the most.
Closely followed by Maise.

[Kate!]

Yes. Janette full of praise for Harvey. A perfect 30 score.

[Amy Jade]

Its mad how much Maisie had to do to get a 10 off Craig and how little Harvey had to do.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Bill to win

[Nicky91]

okay first of all, to negativity of this weeks performances in here, i enjoyed most of them equally

secondly summarizing each couple

Jamie & Karen

dance1 (Salsa): technically it had flaws ok, but he and karen did everything they could with this hard dance, i agreed with Craig, very great disco vibes all over

dance2 (quickstep): enjoyable performance, i of course having worked on a farm liked every bit of attention of detail in the performance, fabulous

Ranvir & Giovanni

dance1 (Waltz): again it feels like watching a repeat of her VW, Foxtrot, American Smooth, and again it leaves me cold, the song was brilliant, the execution of the dance was poor and overmarked too

dance2 (Jive): now we know why they had let her avoid out of hold dances LOL, a dance disaster darling, also Giovanni u are not Massimo Sinato by far, i think Gio will never win a glitterball, let alone 3 glitterballs

Bill & Oti

dance1 (Charleston): i liked the slapstick comedy vibe, character was played to perfection, i first thought was there not many swivel but i do believe Craig to his word if there was enough swivel, overall i liked it again

dance2 (Tango): Does Metal suit a Tango, yes definitely, also love the fire/passion in this, a serious face throughout check, staccato movement yes, rock on Bill, rock on

Maisie & Gorka

dance1 (streetdance): i've seen a lot of streetdance, but this comes closest to real street out of all street/commercials from strictly so far, this was dope

dance2 (Viennese Waltz): i liked the guitar element, clever thinking Gorka with this choreo, footwork was neat, the whole thing was elegant, classy, beautiful, i had goosebumps

HRVY & Janette

dance1 (Rumba): i disagree with the judges, i don't look at technique, but with rumba's i pay attention to storytelling (that was divine), genuine emotion (yes i also saw and felt that), the snowglobe effect was very nice for the added intimacy, was it sensual or sexy NO but i hate too sexy rumba's (yes looking at you Gio )

dance2 (Charleston): it still amazes me how you can do a fast dance in such tight trousers, love the acrobatic skills, humour, chemistry, swivel to sum it up La La Lovely

[Nicky91]

also Craig telling the audience to boo Shirley, amazing



Rob Brydon's ''not anton'' thing



also nice we had bit of audience again

[Mystic Mock]

My rankings for the Semi-final performances.

Round 1:
1. Maisie & Gorka - Street - A bit overscored imo, but still a very strong dance.
2. Bill & Oti - Charleston
3. Jamie & Karen - Salsa
4. HRVY & Janette - Rumba - I'm not very keen on Rumba's tbf.
5. Ranvir & Giovanni - Waltz - I'm sorry but it's just another lifeless dance from Ranvir imo.

Round 2:
1. HRVY & Janette - Charleston - Absolutely fantastic! Imo the dance of the night.
2. Bill & Oti - Tango - Terribly underscored imo, Shirley definitely took a pot shot at him because he danced to a Rock number as she went for Aston's Paso in his year when he danced to Smells Like Teen Spirit so we know that she's a bit dull in her Music taste imo. I also suspect that she went for Bill's Tango harshly because Craig dared to diss HRVY who's Shirley's favourite, and she decided to go for Bill knowing that Craig likes him which shows her to be quite petty.
3. Maisie & Gorka - Viennese Waltz
4. Jamie & Karen - Quickstep - It was fun, but it was nothing like a Quickstep to me.
5. Ranvir & Giovanni - Jive - Credit to her for finally doing another uptempo dance since the Cha Cha Cha, but it was quite bad imo.


Overall rankings:
1st Place - Maisie & Gorka - 8 points
2nd Place - Bill & Oti - 8 points
3rd Place - HRVY & Janette - 7 points
4th Place - Jamie & Karen - 5 points
5th Place - Ranvir & Giovanni - 2 points

Bottom Two should be imo - Ranvir vs Jamie

Imo Ranvir is clearly the weakest dancer left in the competition and the worst thing is that she's meant to be taken seriously.

[Nicky91]

Double dance night did not disappoint! There were ups, downs and plenty of surprises from each of our five couples, with Maisie and Gorka emerging as the winners of the night with a perfect 30 and a score of 29 for their respective routines.



HRVY and Janette took the second spot with a combined score of 53, followed by Jamie and Karen and Bill and Oti both with 48. Meanwhile, Ranvir and Giovanni landed bottom of the leaderboard with 44 for their Semi Final Waltz and Jive.

Those scores have now been combined with your votes, securing four of our five dancing duos a coveted spot in next Saturday's Final. So who will be going through to the ultimate week of Strictly? And which pair will have to bow out just one week short? It's not long until we find out!

As well as the excitement of revealing our final four, our spectacular Results Show will feature yet another sensational routine from our Pros, as well as performance from Little Mix.

So don't miss a moment when we return to the Ballroom at 7.30pm on BBC One!

Hurray. Harvey and Maisie announced for the final. Brilliant news. Xx

[Amy Jade]

I hope Jeanette loses I loathe her

[hijaxers]

Not at all surprised Ranvir has gone , Jamie was better and Ranvir was performing to many in hold dances.
