I think it will be two votes for Charles and one for Joe this week from me.

Ashley still to come yet though.

9's could even be a 10

8999

Yes revised to a 9 not sure the plan will come to fruition after that.

Crap song.

sadly, and then it all went horribly wrong

Md is such a negative energy

dances like a pro....none of that guff about Charles dancing like the other men

very very fast

great work from the pro

WINNER! WINNER!! WINNER!!!

40 incomiung

it's not even a surprise

Craig’s first 10!

A well deserved 40 for Ashley.

Can Lauren escape? think bottom3 scorers will be bottom 3 vote just depends what order. Also feels like a Stacey deramp tonight

Kate & Lauren

Lauren out

I'll go Graeme & Lauren

Graeme v Lauren

Though hope it's Kate b2

lauren v lauren. lauren goes

Thanks for the scoring sq

Feels a bit of Faye deramp to me even though she scored well. She's not really produced a wow dance other than her Grease themed QS

Not a dancing contest yahdi yahdi yah, a popularity contest, blah blah blah, but a travesty if Ashley doesn`t win this.

Have to go Graham v Lauren, Lauren seemed the plan but then they seemed to go off script.

My votes are in for Charles and Joe

Kate v Lauren bottom two. Lauren to go.

It’s Michael McIntyre

Goodnight all

Ooh, yes! Thanks for scoring, Squares

KfG is annoying anyway but he seemed especially desperate tonight. Audience reaction to Stacey was a bit more muted than I was anticipating.

Graeme & Oti

vs

Kate & Aljaz


Kate & ALjaz out

so pleased for Lauren

I think that's one of the best shows I've seen, certainly from Blackpool where I always think it's a bit of a let down.

Stacey I thought was very good as she is every week, Lauren not quite as good but a bit unfairly criticised as I thought she did it well.

Graham's was such a classic song and I thought he gave it a real good go though a bit overmarked.  Faye just terrific, you can't do it much better than that she must surely make the final 4.

Kate I thought was the worst of the night.  The music seemed twice the speed of the dance so very average I thought and again overmarked for me.  I thought Charles did really well, not quite as good as the judges thought (that wasn't a 10 surely?) but a great lively catchy song that I was singing along and tapping my foot to so very well done Charles.

I thought Joe gave his best offering tonight, classic 'Hollywood' dance number he did really well I thought and bar a couple of them the best of the night.

Ashley as usual was just fabulous.  Whether you've backed her or not you must agree she's just brilliant and finished off a fabulous night with some great dances on the ultimate high.  Now that was worth a ten.

Lou x

Ashley layers seething.  Of course nobody on the forum we're all large Green and cheering her on! but spare a thought for them poor 'layers' who don't come on here.  Such a shame.

Oh I do hope she wins it!

She doesn’t mate, doesn’t beat Joe and doesn’t beat Stacey, hth x

Yes take your point Money but she just might.  I certainly wouldn't want to be 'Red' on her I'll say that.

I certainly wouldn't want to be 'Red' on her I'll say that.

Why not ? She doesn’t win. Cheers and goodnight, good luck if ya playin’.

Well to say "She doesn't win" is being very chancey and if by some chance she does you'll look silly with a lrage egg on your face.

I prefer to say she MAY WELL not win ................. but just might.  hth

I can see that Lou has posted but I can't see what he has written, a present to myself, inner peace is only one block away

Test

Well I’ll take me chances Luigi baby, not that you’re bothered you’re massively green on everybody aren’t ya

P.s what’s a lrage egg, is it something to do with Nigel Flrage

Money

Yes sorry I meant large egg but I try to type a bit faster as I'm not the quickest on the old keys so make a few mistakes.

Only large green on the four in the final (hopefully but looking good) so still want the other three out so even I'm still worried a bit.

Admire your confidence about Ashley but she's one I'd like to see win.

Nice that you want most of the forum to lose Lou

I doubt many have her as a big red, so I'm sure they could bring her onside if they feel the need. My average lay is @5.02. So not particularly worried at this stage

Fig

Yes and I'm sure most of the forum aren't pleased that I'm in a great position. I try to be fair and decent, join in with  with everyone but still can't get 'liked' and if anything people deliberately avid answrering me when all I'm doing is trying to talk sense and tell a non biased, fair game rather than big up all my greens and talk down all my reds so you can't have it both ways sorry.

So if by some chance she were to win and "Many don't have her red" then who is it that pays out the winners?
Oh sorry I keep forgetting we all win in here don't we that's right 

You're always in a great position Lou, because you only mention you've backed someone after they've shortened in price

You're hindsight knows no bounds

#Your

Lou and everybody what do you think about all these?

1 Craig said in his recent interview that Stacey will have popularity and Ashley won't get the votes. The judges will know the votes as the show is so scripted.

3 The top scorer during Blackpool week has not gone on to win in any of the last five years.

Lou, like you, "I try to be fair and decent, join in with with everyone" so I will say that Ashley has always been my tip but we mustn't be blind to the negatives.

Firstly I'm sure most of the forum has no idea what position you are in.  Even if you expect them to because you like to mention it, it won't register because most of the forum just won't be interested.

Who on here really cares what anyone else's "position" is?  Hardly anyone would have any more than a passing interest and certainly wouldn't constantly obsess over it the way that you do.

Similarly, I don't think anyone does more "talking up" or "talking down" than you (that's excluding army obviously and at least he is blatantly honest about it).

squares

I think it's Monday tomorrow can you agree with that or as it's me will you disagree?



zzzzzzzzzzzz

Henry

Oh I agree I'm not blind to the negatives whatsoever and have stated that if I really had to choose who will win I'd go for Stacey due to some perceiving Ashley as having has experience which of course is true to some extent but like I have too stated before her 'Shake your a55' and 'boom boom' stuff is hardly The Quick Step, Foxtrot or Argentine Tango is it!

Also what about some other who have had experience.

I don't think anyone could seriously say she isn't the best dancer (just look at the judges scores) but leaving it down to the public vote for the final means I don't think she'll win ......... but she might of course.

Lou don't be so sure of yourself. If you're in Australia tomorrow is Tuesday.

Henry

Yes she's going to get people saying "Oh she's brilliant every week it's not fair" type of thing and of course her good looks and lovely figure don't help when it's mainly women who vote of course.

Interesting regarding the 'Blackpool Winner' theory so that doesn't bode well for her either.

Alas I'm in SE London.  Squares is in Cloud Cuckoo Land half the time but even he must agree tomorrow's Monday.

A good looking girl but I don't think she's the looker type that invokes female jealousy (jaw too big or something) and genuinely nice and self depreciating.

Yes I agree not that good looking but very attractive it must be said. 

I've said before I don't see what more she can do, she dances better than everyone else which is the objective in a dancing competition.  Joins in the fun, cheers and claps the other dancers I don't see what's not to like I really don't?

I've no plans to lay her btw, I just wanted to introduce some discussion. But we know that everybody here except you, me and Tim is group-thinked against her so will just be silently chuckling in self satisfaction at any Ashley negatives.

I'm not silently chuckling at all it's a big belly laugh from me!

I think we can take it as "RED" that all the 'Cavalry' on here are seething over Ashley's winning possibilities!

Ashley is at a price anyone can back if they so wanted

I appreciate Ashley being in the competition as if it wasn't for her I'd have to wait until Strictly had finished to make a cup of tea

Yes another who I think we can take is as 'RED' doesn't want to see her win! 

I DON'Twant to see her win.

Would you think it was fair if Red Rum was in the national with Blackpool donkeys?

But what has she done before.  Shook her tush with TPD?  Hardly a Viennise Waltz or a Charleston is it?

If you'd have backed her you'd appreciate how good she is but all you and others against her can do is knock her.  They don't have a good word to say about her when she's the standout dancer every week.

Get rid of some Red whilst you still can.

Lauren safe

at least they didn't make Lauren wait until the end

Tango for Charles next week

Maybe not the best for him. Seems best at the looser dances

will be interesting to see if his improvement runs through to those types of dances.


Mark owen looking like Luke Friend these days

Lindy Hop-a-thon confirmed

Faye left til last

PD for Stacey

more lateness for Faye then

Kev's favourite. If the 10's are going to come it could be next week

Yes, Kev usually goes all out and makes it all about him

is Joe the only one remaining who hasn't done a Couple's Choice routine?

hmm yep, I think so

the pink curse strikes again

hair, make up and wardrobe haven't done you any favours Kate

Should be couple's choice for Joe next week, I would have thought.

that could be fun, I think Dianne is quite quirky

Lauren still has her salsa card to play. Samba for Ashley

Samba for Ashley
