Strictly - shall you?

I am with you there Number I really thought that Jake was awful this week, perhaps his previous performances helped save him, and I do mean performances, because of course he is an actor and puts that into his dancing (although I do not think that much of his acting in Eastenders!). I think probably the right choice has been made as Sunetra has not improved as much as everyone else.

Depending on the type of dance, I think that it may be Mark or Jake who may be leaving. Jake's gyrating supposedly sexy hip movements make me feel like puking.

It doesn`t help that his looks don`t go with his actions, poor man!

I've only just caught up with my recording of Saturday's show and I agree that all the backing dancers are awful! They are such a distraction, I want to see a pair of people dancing together - not a troop! It's supposed to be ballroom dancing, not a production number.

I wonder who will leave tonight. They are all dancing to such a high standard.

Mark? I still hope to see Simon in the final, though there's stiff competition. He has made the greatest progress of all the contestants.

I think it will be Jake and Mark in the dance off.

Pixie should NOT have gone.

Ever heard of Specsavers, Len?

Can't believe it! What's wrong with that man! I won't be watching it any more this series

Dare I say it I preferred Simon's dance. Tin hat read for the avalanche of comments.

Neither of them should have been in the dance off.

Me too NanKate. I think Simon has developed into a brilliant all-round dancer and I would be happy to see him win. Pixie never appealed to me - too plastic and her cha-cha was poor tonight - both times. Right result for me.

I'm really glad to see Simon through, like Mark he's definitely developed from not that good at the beginning to very accomplished, but what a shock to see Pixie voted off. I thought she was always consistently one of the best. The dance let her down tonight. They are all very good now, but I think Caroline might win overall. I'd like to have seen Jake voted off tonight.

Yes Jake, Mark or Simon should have gone first. The girls were all better. Len's nuts!

I agree NanKate Simon appeared to be the more accomplished dancer tonight.

There was a time when I thought that Pixie might win- now it is anybody's game.

I agree with you NanKate. On the night, Simon's dance was - to my mind - better than Pixie's. What does make me sad is that neither of them should have been in the dance-off. The perfect final shoot-out would be - for me - between Caroline and Simon.

I only put the TV on to watch the dance off and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that Pixie was in it as I thought she was a likely winner. Just goes to show how little I know. Now I think the winner must be Caroline whatsit, she did a wonderful tango yesterday.

Although Pixie has been, undoubtably, a brilliant dancer throughout the series, I remarked last night, before the judges said anything, that her dance wasn`t grabbing me, thought it was a bit boring, whereas Simon and Kristina put on a wonderful show. Len did say that his job was to judge of what he`d seen in the dance off, not what had gone before, and I think he made the correct decision. As for the final winner, I`d love it to be Frankie and Kevin, Kevin`s a lovely lad, but I have a sneaky feeling it will be Caroline.

Well that has freed up my Saturday evenings - what a travesty! To vote the best dancer out on the grounds that her 'professional' executed some 'illegal' moves. Len is misguidedly deliberately causing controversy. Simon's dance off was worse than his effort on Saturday. After seeing it and before watching Pixie, I thought "thats it Simon's out."
Pixie and Trent made the whole show shine and sparkle and she was a fabulous dancer- she should have at least reached the final.
Article in the Telegraph proposes the suggestion that Pixie had dance/drama training as a child and was therefore inevitably eliminated. Well, on that basis Frankie should go next, then Jake, then Simon and the final should be between the true amateurs - Mark and Caroline.

It wasn't just Len who voted for Simon was it? Darcy too thought his was the better performance.

I'm with you specki! Will have to find something else to watch on Saturday nights now. Have lost all confidence in the judging apart from Craig. Oh well.

I honestly thought that Jake would be in the dance-off, although I thought that his dance was hilarious and very difficult, his waltz in the group dance was awful. I do not think he will progress much further. Glad Simon is back with us, he has done so well, not too sure about Mark. I would like to see some (what I call) proper ball-room dancing by all of them at some point.

....and of course the public vote.

I too was surprised as Pixie is wonderful to watch but Simons dance was better- Len was right - we cheered for Simon - never vote though!!

I think Len made the correct decision, Pixie's legs have never been good as far as I've seen, and Simon did a good dance.
I think Caroline or Frankie could win.
