The remaining seven couples danced either a quickstep, a samba, a Viennese waltz, the American smooth, salsa or cha-cha-cha.

Alesha was the star of last night by getting the highest score from the judges. She danced the cha-cha-cha. It was great to watch her move. She is so tall and got long legs but it didn’t stop her from doing all those cha-cha-cha moves. She’s beaten her record score of 38 from last week and she got 39, with Arlene, Len and Bruno giving her a 10. Craig said, ‘Totally amazing, you are fabulous’, Len said, ‘I’m going to say one thing, your best dance’ and Bruno was a bit excited as always and said ‘My pulse is racing, my heart is racing. It’s Diva time’.

Second from the judges leader board was Matt who got 38. Arlene said, ‘The Ramps returns. The memory of ‘hot hot hot’ was sizzling around this room like sausages on a barbecue’. Bruno said Matt was the ‘Spice boy’ of the competition.

Third was Gethin who did a quickstep and got 34 from the judges. Fourth was Letitia who got 32 for her Viennese Waltz. Fifth of the judges leader board was Kenny who got 30 for his American smooth. He just showed the viewers how much strength he had by lifting Ola up as if she was a rugby ball. Len pointed this out and said that this competition was not strictly come weight lifting. This is true and quite funny.

The biggest surprise for me was Kelly who was sixth (2^nd last) on the judges leader board. She got 29 for her Samba. I thought the judges were a bit harsh on her. Their expectation for Kelly is so high that they’re marking her down. As Brendan said she’s not a professional dancer and I thought she deserved more than 29 for her dance. I mean she got all seven’s from three judges and just one eight from Bruno, whereas Kenny who wasn’t technically as good as Kelly got three eight’s and one six.

Last on the leader board was John who got 27 for his samba. I thought he was holding back a few times and at brief moments he’d really get into it and shake his hips. If he had given his all throughout the dance he’d have scored a lot more.

I have a feeling this time the two people in the dance off could be a surprise. I just hope Kelly stays in the competition as she’s gorgeous to watch and she can dance.

When Bruce was going to announce the results, I said, I always hope that it would be Kate who’d be voted out, but she never is the one. But tonight’s been the best result show of this series. Finally, Kate is out! What a relief! Now I can enjoy the show.

Someone at backstage said that ‘It’s a dance competition, and what next? Is Kate going to dance with crutches next week?’ It was nice to see someone on TV talking what I had in mind. This may sound cruel, but this is a dance competition and it is a shame that Gabby and Penny have been voted out.

Since Gabby got voted out, I haven’t really enjoyed watching the show. I thought we were heading for a Kenny and Kate final. Kenny can’t dance either, but he is very entertaining and likable unlike Kate.

Well, no more of Kate! Let’s just sit back and enjoy the show!

We saw eight different dances from the eight celebrities left in the competition. First up were Kelly and Brendan with their jive. They got 36 from the judges. Len said ‘you’re a very talented dancer; you did that jive absolutely beautiful’. Kelly was good as always, but I thought she could have let herself go a bit more. She was holding back a lot. The difference between Brendan and Kelly was too obvious. 

Next we saw Letitia and Darren’s foxtrot, and they got 34 from the judges. Letitia has improved a lot, and I think ballroom is her dance and not latin. Craig said to her ‘Sweet, very stylish routine. Nice hill turns, very very classy’.  

Kenny and Ola danced the Cha cha cha and they got 22. This was I think the most entertaining dance of the night. I would like to see more of Kenny’s dancing in the competition. Then we saw Gethin and Camilla do the Rumba. They got 31 from the judges, which I thought was quite high for the dance they did. The judges do have they favourites and this year it’s definitely Gethin.  

John and Nicole did the Tango and got 28 from the judges. John has improved a lot as well. I have a feeling that he might end up in the bottom two and this time the judges might not save him as the others are very good. I don’t think Kate or Kenny would be in the bottom two.  

Then we saw Kate and Anton’s Paso Double’, they got 21 from the judges. All that sympathy votes have kept Kate in the competition so far and I think she’ll be there for sometime. More sympathy votes for her last night because of her back injury. I don’t know how frustrated I am to see Kate still in the competition. Anton was very clever with the choreography by keeping Kate on hold almost during the entire dance. I have nothing to say about Kate except that she cannot dance and she’s not going to get any sympathy votes from me.  

Alesha and Matthew were the best dancers of the night. They got 38 from the judges for their Waltz, and this is the highest score so far in the competition. It was a well deserved score for Alesha. Bruno said ‘I was swept away in the sea of love’. Craig said ‘It gave me goose bumps’.  

The last couple to dance was Matt and Flavia, who got 34 for their Quickstep. Bruno said he was Mr Sheen of the dance floor.  

I just hope the only one who gets voted off is the one who can’t dance and who I find extremely annoying now. But guess what? The great British public who votes feels so much sympathy for her that she will stay and probably be in the final. Well, she can make a fool of herself and we’ll be here to laugh at her! Ha! Ha! Ha!

The ten couples in the competition danced either the Paso Doble or the Foxtrot, last night. Alesha and Matthew danced the foxtrot and got the highest score, 36, from the judges. Penny and Ian got 35 from the judges. The highest score for a Paso Doble for the night was for Letitia and Darren and Matt and Flavia, who got 31 from the judges.

Surprisingly Kate and Anton were not on the bottom of the leader board. They got 26 for their foxtrot. Before they went to dance Bruce said ‘Kate is not getting any better, Anton is getting worse’. I agree with this, I think Kate’s ungraceful dancing is forcing Anton to drag his feet across the dance floor. I think the judges purposely gave Kate higher marks and some nice comments so that the public won’t feel as much sympathy for her and would forget to vote for her. Len and Bruno gave 7 for Kate’s dance which is what Kelly got for her Paso Doble. I thought the judges were a bit harsh on Kelly, this could be because of the three lifts from last week, which shouldn’t be, as they should judge on last night’s performance alone. Well, it isn’t Kate who’s getting the votes anyway it’s Anton. I still think the public will keep Kate and Anton, because of Anton’s personality.

Kenny and Ola did a Paso Doble and got the lowest score of the night, 21. But I thought their dance was the most entertaining. Paso Doble really suited Kenny because of his physique. Arlene said to Kenny that masculinity came pouring out of him.

Let’s just see who will be voted out this week. I just hope it’s not someone who can actually dance.
