Return of Strictly.

Yes, so did I, such a shame to see her and Neil go. Wrong result again!

Not wrong result. That was supposed to be a Samba?

I’m betting on Kelvin. Karim I agree is technically excellent but he lacks that something that Kelvin brings to the dance.

Oh my goodness - what a shock last night - I though Chris and Karen were gone (and so did they, I am sure) and then they were saved by Bruno and Shirley.

I though the standard of dancing was extraordinarily good, but the right couple won the dance off. I like both Alex and Chris enormously and was very glad they got so far in the competition. Next week I expect Chris and Emma to be in the dance off and yes, I would like Karim to win, but both he and Kelvin are very evenly matched.

It's getting so close now and there's a real possibility that Anton will get to the final this year at last after years of hopeless partners. I'm hoping Karim will win though as he's just so brilliant.

So what did everyone think to Strictly last night?
Personally, think it’s time for Chris to go. A few unjustified 10’s doled out also.
Although Emma is not the best, I do wonder if Anton just might get to lift the glitter ball eventually?

Think it's time for Chris to go.
I'd like Kelvin to win with Emma next.

I also think Chris will go tonight. I am not sure who else may be in the dance-off but maybe Karim. I think Kelvin will pick up the trophy- he has been consistently good- superb for a non dancer.

I do not think Karim is getting the votes so unless there is some disaster next week I think it will be between Kelvin and Emma although I think Karim is a better dancer than Emma if that makes sense. Anton I think has been getting a lot of votes because of the multitude of no-hopers he was saddled with in the past.

Can't help wondering if people are voting for Anton rather than Emma. After all his years of being given weak celebrities. Chris' second dance made me wonder if it delibrate so that there isn't an all male final.

Would love to see Kelvin win but can't help thinking that Karim's fast dances might just give him the edge. Tough as they are both great IMO.

Some excellent dancing last night but I think Chris will go tonight.

I hope Emma & Anton don't win just because Anton gets the pity vote as I think Kelvin and Karim are better than her.

I preferred Kelvin's dances this week to last week. I loved the quickstep he did.

I suppose it depends on what they are given to dance. Much as I like Chris's personality and also quite admired him for insisting he wasn't going to do a sexy rumba, I think he would have gone sooner if he had not been given some comedy-type routines to dance where his personality and sense of fun shone through. Anyone given the Argentine Tango is going to have to be a good dancer. I love watching it.

Kelvin is better known than Karim due to his long stint on Emmerdale so maybe that's why Karim is not getting as many votes Charleygirl, although how do we know that?

I used to love to see Strictly but not this year, its more like Stricken! How the hell did Oti end up with her sister as a judge!??? That cannot be right for a start.

It doesn't seem fair that they don't all get to do the Argentine Tango. It would soon sort out the sheep from the goats.

My money is on Kelvin.

It doesn't seem fair that they don't all get to do the Argentine Tango. It would soon sort out the sheep from the goats.

I agree Lully - they should each do the Argentine Tango and the Jive, which is also hard.

I wasn’t awed by any of the dances last night, but I agree, it’s time for Chris to go, I’m sure he knows that.

Karim is my favourite.

I think possibly Emma has done a couple of decent dances, but I really think she should have gone a while back, some of her dances have been awful.

Will miss it when it’s all over.

Well we know who is going (Twitter).
I think Emma is benefitting from the Eastenders vote along with Anton's followers. We could be in for a surprise in the finals.

Sparklefizz I personally think that Emma being in Eastenders and Anton getting the sympathy vote gives Emma the edge re votes. I do not think she should win.

I think Karim or Kelvin would be worthy winners, definitely not Emma.

Karim in the dance-off ????>????????

Agreed, just unbelievable

Well ! As Emma has got the Eastenders vote, and Anton has got the sympathy vote, I hate to say it but maybe they will win!

I think it was the right result tonight, but I don’t think Emma should be in the final, she just hasn’t been consistent, some of her dances have been terrible.

Worryingly Emma sailed straight through. I thought she and Chris would be in the dance-off.

Having Karim in the dance off was a fix so Emma and Anton would be in the final.

I don't care what they say about it all being down to viewers' votes, there's far too much jiggery pokery going on in these reality shows.
