Strictly - shall you?

Shame anybody had to go. What an excellent group they have been this year.

Pixie from the start for me and I am sticking with her. Dance off between her and Frankie in my book.

Sunetra certainly did herself proud. Well done that girl.

Sweaty Jake should have been in the dance-off tonight!

Oh no, not Sunetra!

I can't bare all the dithering about on results night so have not bothered to watch the programme just came straight to Gransnet and just read the results - what a excellent way not to be irritated by Tess and her inane chat, some of the others are almost as bad.

Claudia and Zoe could run the show better.

Sad to see Sunetra and Brendan go, they will be missed.

Me too sparky I think Frankie is great. Much better than Pixie. I really don't get why they all keep raving about her.

Oh please no don`t bring back Brucie I beg you. I agree with Jane10 Jake just dosen`t do it for me - he is just so plain. Come on Frankie you`re my favourite.

Bring back Brucie and his old jokes, perhaps, just to remind us how things used to be...

Yes, unfortunately I think the skids are under her. Its a shame as she`s a lovely dancer but some of the others are just so brilliant. I thought Pixie was undermarked as she was on first. She`s just so talented and has such charm somehow. I find Jake to be downright distasteful. The sexy stuff is awful. Maybe if he wasn't so downright unattractive it would seem more acceptable. Maybe that's just me though. I simply cant understand how he`s such a Casanova on East Enders!

Mm bit of a bad choice and it could prove Jake's undoing. Mind you I think Sunetra is lining up to be the next one to go don't you?

The backing dancers are a distraction and do not enhance the performance. I thought the idea of an Argentine tango to Zorba the Greek was absurd and it turned out to be an awful mismatch of styles.

I agree, each couple had at least 3 this evening.

I wish they'd lose the backing dancers. They're a distraction. It's no wonder poor Jake bumped into one of them.

Wasn't he dire! And to think that young women used to throw their undies at him back in the 70s..but i didnt get it then either! Did they make a mistake with the track - it sounded as though they were singing different songs to me. Poor old thing - let him go back to Madame Tussauds!

Will it be a seance PapaO ?

Slightly off-thread, but those of a nervous disposition may wish to know that Mr Manilo, or what remains of him after his Strictly performance, will be appearing on the OneShow on BBC1 at 7pm tonight.

I thought someone had embalmed him and it had all gone horribly wrong And that whole item was just a mess!

He was terrible wasn't he papaoscar he looked like he had been in a wind tunnel and his face had stuck. Or maybe it was his own wax work they put on stage? An awful song singing over the top of a lovely song in a completely different rhythm and tune. What was that all about?

And the dead man put in the better performance! A fair result this week. It`s going to get harder to decide from now on.

He was singing with a dead man, after all, papaoscar!

Is there a connexion between taxidermy and poor old Barry Manilo? I've seen more lively mummies in Egypt!

Just as predicted. Steve made a nice little speech at the end. If there really was animosity between him and Ola, they made a pretty good show of being friends.

Good fair result tonight.

Crikey! He's 71...

His neck seemed to be strangely rigid.

What has Barry Manilow done to his face? He sadly looks like a waxwork model.
