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.

Don't sound to gleeful about that fact.

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!

[Kate!]

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

[Amy Jade]

I hope Jeanette loses I loathe her

[Kate!]

Bill and Oti announced as finalists xx

[arista]

Ranvir is out


Good

[hijaxers]

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

[rionablue]

I prefer Ranvir to Jamie but anyway with him not being as popular with the public being in the bottom 2 several times he hasnt a hope of winning I reckon. Praying it will be Maisie. It would be brilliant

[Vanessa]

I hope Hrvy dances his American smooth again.
That is a dance worthy of the final.

[Nicky91]

Jamie was better in the dance off, and i think the fact that Ranvir was horrendous in Jive also played a part in who to save, who had more finalist worthy potential

[Nicky91]

i am just also soooo happy there is a final without Giovanni

[Vanessa]

Lucas MacFarlane is choreographing Hrvy showdance

[Vanessa]

I've really enjoyed this series more than any other one.
It's been a blast and it's really cheered me up in these tough times.
I will miss the show so much and good luck to all the finalists.
Hope Hrvy wins, but I'd he happy with Maise or Bill winning as well.

[Kate!]

Tonight we will know the winner. Go on Harvey and Maisie. Xx

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

It's time for the Grand Final!

Eight fabulous weekends of Strictly down, and now there's just one more night to go. But it's not just any night, it's the one we've all been waiting for... the 2020 Grand Final!

Our four remaining couples will be dancing their socks off for the Glitterball trophy tonight, bringing their best to the Ballroom with three fantastic routines each. They'll be bringing back their favourite dance of the series, as well as a Judges' Pick and of course, a brand new spectacular Showdance.

While the Judges will be scoring each performance, the winner is 100 per cent decided by you at home, so every vote really counts. The vote will open once all four couples have performed their first routine and will remain open until Claudia announces it's closed during the show. So make sure you're on the Strictly homepage, logged in and ready to vote when the time comes to pick your winners!

We'll also be sharing live reactions from our Strictly stars and the best moments from the Final over on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, so be sure to follow us for all the Strictly magic you'll ever need.

We cannot wait to see who will be crowned this year's winners! Good luck to Bill and Oti, Jamie and Karen, HRVY and Janette and Maisie and Gorka - you're all champions in our eyes.

Who are you backing? Tell us below and join us in the Ballroom for the Grand Final, tonight at 6pm on BBC One.
