About bloody time. Should have gone in week one.

Perhaps yes, but when people keep voting for her to stay in then she rightly has a place in the show.

Well I'd hope it wasn't just a poularity contest so I'm not sure she 'rightly' had a place in the show. Perhaps it showed more just how dumb the British public are - I think even from show one had she been in the dance off at any point she'd have unanimously been booted out.

On that there is little doubt. Although, having said that, Greg and Tim were both fairly lame too.

That said, each did establish prima facie evidence of a personality

I thought some of the dancing this weekend was spectacular, Trents' Paso, Simons' Argentine and Jakes' american smooth were sensational.

I think there was a 1 point over marking overall but that is for the occasion.

I can't warm to Caroline and she is becoming overrated...

To be fair, Trent is a Pro so he should be OK

Maybe Pixie and Trent are a wildcard pro couple?

no dissing my man crush

I was commenting on the brilliant choreography and performance of course....

[SPR2]

Mark and Steve have come along nicely each week ,Sunetra was certainly not as strong this week, lacked confidence I think in spite of Brendon's encouragement.
I will not be sorry to see Caroline go. Like others I think she has little personality.

[Road2Ruin]

Anyone brave enough to name the final 3 then?

I am going for Pixie, Frankie and.......Caroline.
I think Jake and Mark both have peaked, Simon is not loved by the nation and Steve, as much as I like him, does not have it in him. Sunetra...she is out next...

[Cobnapint]

Pixie, Simon and Frankie, with Simon to win.

I wonder if it is a case of him being black or Blue?

As for Jake, I don't think his last few dances have suited him. I think he's doing a Salsa next week in which case we'll see that ol' hip action again.

Pixie... different class

Yes... the Stage School dancing class.

[benters]

Final. . .Pixie, Frankie and Jake. . .winner, Pixie

[james_tigerwoods]

I wonder (hope) that there will be a bit of backlash against the "ringers" and Jake wins...

I can only hope. Can't I?

[MrsMiggins]

Is it nearly time for them to start dojng 2 dances each? ISTR that it used to be around this stage, but recent series delayed it to closer to the semis.

Really want to see how they cope with the added pressure of learning an extra routine.

[JonRB]

Apparently Claudia is back this Saturday.

I'll miss Zoe, but I missed Claudia more.

[Fishtigua]

Is anyone willing to put a PH pint on who goes out this weekend?

I think I have my two in the dance-off, but one's much stronger in hold. May be a tough weekend for the boys.

That's great news, I was worried Zoe was going to nick her job for the second time!

I'd love to see Zoe and Claudia as the presenting team. But one step at a time, I guess. The fact that the BBC have two girls presenting the show is major progress, even if Tess is a hangover from the old days (sorry Tess).
To have two confident, independent, stand-on-their-own-two-feet women presenting is maybe the next step. We'll see.
