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!

We saw tonight the competition really kicking off with all the male and female celebrities dancing off either the Tango or the Jive. The couple with the highest score was Alisha and Matthew, 36 and the lowest was for Kate and Anton, 19.

Alisha, Kelly, Gabby and Matt got scores which were above 30 from the judges. But there seemed to be a bit of unfair marking from the judges, Arlene gave the same score of 7 to both Gabby and Gethin. The total score from the judges for Gethin was 29 and for Gabby this was 31. We saw that Gabby was far better than Gethin on her dance but Arlene gave the same score of 7 to both of them. I think Arlene fancies Gethin and is just jealous that Gabby can do cartwheels and splits. Even Kenny was much better than Gethin but Kenny only got 25. I don’t think the judges like the

Last week we saw Stephanie and Letitia in the dance off which was very unfair. Kate was the one who got the lowest score from the judges, which was 15 out of 40. I know she has been through a lot with the injury but Stephanie did not deserve to go. Let’s hope the viewers will vote to keep the people in the middle of the score bored. That’s the most dangerous place to be, if Alisha and someone else was in the dance off atleast we know the judges will keep Alisha. But if Willie and Penny were to dance off then we will see Willie saying goodbye to the show!

The Strictly Come Dancing hasn’t even started yet but there are rumours that the series winner is already ‘fixed’. The news was reported in a couple of websites including Entertainment Wise. However, the BBC has strongly denied claims Strictly Come Dancing has been “fixed” in favour of busty actress Kelly Brook.

Rumours are that fellow contestants are upset at how much press coverage Kelly has received in the lead up to the series five, and fear a hidden agenda. Soap star Matt Di Angelo complained, “Every time I open a paper she’s pictured in a skimpy outfit and there’s just a few lines about everyone else.”

Punters are even now suggesting that judging by the coverage she is receiving, Kelly is going to win. However, a BBC spokesperson counters the claim, “The show is not being fixed in Kelly’s favour. It is totally fair. Everyone is being treated the same. Kelly’s picture has been used by lots of media outlets because she is very photogenic but that is not our decision.”

The public must have lost the faith in phone in shows and other competitions after this summers revelations that several phone votes are being fixed. Even the Blue Peter show rigged the viewers’ votes. The viewers had voted for the name Cookie in the website poll but Blue Peter staff secretly ignored the voters view and chose Socks instead.

The dance lovers will be watching series five closely and will make lots of noise should any such ‘fixing happens’ to the series. The best dance should win! It is not the ‘looks’ that matters but the performance on the floor!

Strictly Come Dancing Blog is dedicated to the dance series of BBC and Ballroom Dancing & Latin Dancing.

In this blog as a fan of the series I will be blogging as the series progresses. The series has captured imagination and interest from different parts of the society. So far there is 4 series of the dance show. It started in 2004 with most recent one held in 2006. The winners of the series four are Mark Ramprakash and his partner Karen Hardy.

The shy reserved former England cricketer stole hearts of many dance lovers and made so many people to adore ballroom and Latin dancing. His and Karen’s performance picked top marks from judges in their way to lift the highly contested trophy.

This year the celebrity dancers have a hard act to follow. Lets see who will impress the viewers?
