I like Anton as a judge because he always find something nice to say even while he criticises.

Good to see you have caught up with the rest of us Joy. :-D

I'm always a step behind, Ann, as I watch it the next day usually so I can cut out all the razzamatazz and just watch the dancing and comments. No chance of ever catching up! :-D

Jeepers, I wished I'd taped it as well so I could fast forward on that dreadful man "singing" in the middle of the programme. I've not got a clue who he was but I just thought he was making a terrible noise.

I thought the right person left the show tonight. I managed to watch all of Roses dance without the tears. I think she's incredible. Such a fantastic ability when she's totally deaf. The others have to learn a dance in a week also but they all have the rhythm of the music to help whereas Rose only has her counting to help her or the movements of her partners body in "close" dances.

I thought Amy looked really well tonight, bless her.

Also have to say I think John is totally gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I agree, although close, Katie was the right person to go :-(

People have been complaining that Judi did make a mistake, which Anton picked up on and why he voted for Katie, as she didn't manage to get her partner's braces back in the right place :-0

Dan looked mightily relieved and so did Adam although the Rumba is a hard dance to master.

That singer was awful :-0

Oh yes. forgot to say, I didn't like the way they announced the final couple in the dance off this week:-0

So onto week 4 :-D

Was it me or did they change the routine of announcing the first couple in the dance off. I do think it is very nerve wracking for these celebrities and waiting them wait longer is, to me, a bit cruel and not necessary.

I am not sure that I agree with the dance off outcome, there was not much to choose between them But, although I am not keen on her, I did feel that Katie improved a lot and i just didn't like Judi's dance. Of course I am not an expert but I think Anton's vote was more honest than the others and Shirley was always not going to vote for Katie as, with so many of the more attractive girls, she didn't seem to like her. Just my opinion of course and technically they may have been right. time will tell.

Am I right that so far both Judi's dances have gone for the comedy aspect?

I had trouble hearing the singer, whoever he was, I had the sound and my hearing aids turned right up and, if it had not been for sub titles I would not have had a clue. :-S

I may be wrong but, I thought Katie was better than Judi.

I like the fact that Judi looked like Mama Morton, but there wasnt enough dancing for me. Poor Katie looked disappointed, but she is a trouper.

I missed the singer, I went out to get myself something to eat.

I wonder why they are not introducing the singers with Dave Arch this year, they do a blooming good job and deserve recognition.

Robert Webb has quit Strictly due to his health. He had a heart op a few years back and was beginning to get a few symptoms so was advised to quit :-D <3

Oh that is a shame but his health must come first, I am sure all the training is a strain if they are not fit.

I read that last night, such a shame he has had to withdraw. His heart specialist advised him. I did like his tango a couple of weeks ago.

Will they not have a dance off this week?

Just seen Ugo Monye won't be dancing this week due to historic back problems :-(

Gosh survival of the fittest this time then

I saw that about Ugo too. So now we are two couples missing this week, so how will they fill the time?

Will everyone have a 'buy' into next week?

Such a shame 2 celebs were missing this week . I enjoyed the show but thought the scoring was all over the place.

Greg should definitely be in the dance off but who with ??.

There didn't seem to be anyone who really stood out tonight did there. Craig seemed a bit odd as well. Yes definitely should be Greg in the dance off quite a few at the bottom of the leader board with similar scores. Maybe Dan will be the other one in the dance off. You can't tell really who is popular and who isn't. I suppose Sara and adam stood out, I can't remember who else all much of a muchness!!

I thought the two Tangos were by far the best :-D Sara has turned out to be a surprise package and looked and danced the part :-0. The lifts that Adam did were exceptional for a male celeb but I guess his upper body is very strong being a breast stroke swimmer :-D I'm not a fan of Katya but you have to admire her for trusting Adam with those lifts :-0

A lot didn't do as well as they have done, Rose, John and AJ :-( But they will still go through to Week 5 :-D. It must have been even more difficult for Rose if her hearing aid had broken :-0

For me Rhys' legs seemed to be all over the place, I think he'll do well in the Charleston :-D

I thought Tilly did well with her Paso and Tom looked the part with his Foxtrot :-D

Judi proved she could be serious but I'm not sure how technically challenging her dance was :-0

Dan's Cha Cha was entertaining and compared with his foxtrot last week it was an improvement and he looked like he was enjoying it:-D

So that leaves Greg :-0. I agree he should be in the dance off and should go home :-(

It will be interesting to see who else will join him in the dance off though :-0

Ah I missed that about Rose Belle, I didn't realise she had a problem with her hearing aid. I don't know if she has one or two aids, I imagine two, but from personal experience, if one was broken it would throw her off balance. Hope she can get it fixed, not easy these days if like this area they are still doing everything remotely.
I am not keen on Katya either but I agree she must really trust Adam and the lifts looked effortless.

Well, you all thought the same as me, it was a mish-mash this week.

I too did not know about Rose's hearing aids. Hopefully she will get them fixed and back to form next week. She is such a lovely dancer.

Adam and Katya's tango had a lot of lifts, but not enough footwork for me.

I think Dan and Greg in the dance off too, but I think Greg is popular with the audience, so maybe not.

Tom looked great in his tails, and Sarah surprises me more every week.

I think Shirley liked Greg :-0. Shirley said something like "both made a lot of mistakes this evening, totting them up I would have gone for the person who made the fewer mistakes,......the person I would save is.Greg" :-0

I think we all agreed that it should be Greg :-)

Onto Week 5 :-D

What a shame Greg had to go.

I have only ever seen him in serious drama, so it was lovely to see him smile so much.

Week 5 looming. :-D

Yes we had predicted Greg but I still can't warm to Judi, her dance was not that good so she could well be next....... but who knows???
