Can't say I know anything about dancing techniques but I've voted!

I'm not sure about introducing sob stories , they certainly shouldn't influence voting.

I detest the sob stories.

No need for them, once they start bringing them out, it puts me off voting for them.

The pros are at it now, Carlos needing tissues!

Yes La Voix as replacement for Claudia please

Sorry sparklefizz. I sounded grumpy there. I didn't mean to!

I also think La Voix would make a good replacement host. Ive never thought that Claudia or Tess were very funny. Hate all the silly childish jokes that the judges are expected to pull off too-- like the Blackpool scenario with Shirley circling about the seagull .

La Voix would be terrific as a replacement for Claudia.

Grandmabatty I care about the dance steps because it's a dance competition

Yes, of course. I made a flippant comment about not caring about them. I care too.

Let’s hope it’s the last series.
This programme has really run its course.

In the words of Ken Goodman “I’ll pickle my walnuts” if La Voix does not get a job on the programme next series when Tess & Claudia have left.

I liked LeVoix this week, I think Bal, George, and Vicki were the weakest.
I feel a bit uncomfortable with some of the emotional stories though.

Me too Grandmabatty I think the Judges are getting caught up in it too. Craig is the only one critiquing the techniques of each dance.

I enjoyed La Voix's performance - it was fun but overscored I think.

I thought presenting the poor man with his wife’s wedding dress in front of a camera crew 7 months after her death was crass.

It's all got a bit emotional tonight.

I care about the dance steps because it's a dance competition

Well the last dance was not very good. And more crying

I really enjoyed La Voix's dance. It was great fun. Who cares about the dance steps?

Too much tugging at the heart strings for me tonight. They always seem to go into overdrive with it the week before Blackpool.

Lewis & Katya I could watch for hours.

That was good, very good.

Lewis and Katya's tango was fabulous, wasn't it?

Powerful tango. They are fabulous. I wonder if it’ll be four tens.

I really enjoyed Lewis's tango

Oh I loved that Tango from Lewis and Katya! So powerful. Wonderful.

Perhaps fatigue has set in this week as we’re mid way through. We expect so much and they have just 5 days to get down a new dance.

Alex and Johannes are my favourite so far tonight. I love Karen and Carlos together but it didn’t feel like an American smooth. It was a bit too dramatic and at the start I thought I’d misheard American smooth and they were about to dance a tango . Not that I know anything about dancing 😂
