It's very impressive that 2 of the professionals in the last 4 are from the same family.

They've rigged it so Ore is safe and unloved Danny will be in the bottom two so one of the girls is toast; no prizes for guessing who that will be. They're not even bothering to be subtle about it these days.

I trust that your tinfoil hat has some lovely sequins glued to it?

Keeeeeeep moaning!

. Didn't get his Argentine Tango at all, it seemed as though he just stood there and Jo did all the dancing but like I say: what do I know?

I did feel this a bit aswell. It had all the drama, and good music and sharpness that I like in a tango but i felt that I was watching Jo's legs flicking about (no bad thing) whilst he basically stood still like a big wooden statue and he just didn't show enough technique for me, it look simple compared to others dances.

I guess we can't both be looking at the same Louise ! - my one is the lovely, talented, attractive and genuinely likeable one who was on Strictly tonight. What channel were you watching ?

Obviously not. I bet you think Kevin's really fun and bubbly as well?

[Robertj21a]

Danny and Claudia in dance off. Ore and Louise through to the final. Much as predicted.

[Cobnapint]

You could see it in Claudia's face whilst receiving tips from the judges, she knows exactly what's about to happen.

I think the judges tone and the fact they seemed to be talking in the past tense says it all.

[ClockworkCupcake]

I'm heavily time delayed and it looks like I should hereafter stay away from the thread, but I thought the opening "bird in the cage" number was amazing. Was that Karen Clifton? I wasn't sure.

Well, whoever it was that predicted Claudia and Danny then take a bow.

I think Claudia was the weakest of the 3 so I am not fussed.

[TheGroover]

I think Ore's been consistently over marked for the last several weeks. And vice versa Claudia's been consistently under marked.
I won't be watching the final, for the first time I don't care which one of them wins it.

[richtea78]

Not really that hard to predict when the results are out the night before though it was exceptionally obvious this week

Hopefully Danny or Ore will win now. Anyone but the saccharin twosome

[MrsMiggins]

If Will Young hadn't dropped out all 4 would have been in the final. Shame.

You could see from a mile off from the judges' comments and marks last night that Danny and Claudia would be in the dance off, and although I said Danny would go through I didn't think it would be as close as it was. Feel sorry for Claudia because based on this weekend alone I think she deserved to go through more than Ore.

Speaking of Ore, is anyone else getting fed up with hearing about how he's had no dance training before? Well neither's Claudia but even so up until today they've had three months of eight hours a day dance training - I'd say that's probably helped a bit. But whatever, really looking forward to next weekend now and hopefully seeing Danny win. He's been pretty much consistently the best since day one so I think the most deserving.

So what's the format for the final? Is it two dances again with one being their own choice and one being the judges'?

Well he had a Clifton as a partner so quite possibly .
I rest my case = The Clifton show

Anybody who thought any other conclusion than tonight's farce was going to happen hasn't really been paying attention .

I'm disappointed in myself for being so pissed off with the show because I enjoy watching it and its just a TV program .
Didn't watch the results show .

Sickening to see how low BBC will stoop, to make a fix.

Apparently, it will be three dances; the judges' choice, the contestants' fave, and a mashup freestyle show dance.
