Boo!
Dan was good enough to stay for another couple of weeks. I don't want to any more of stupid Nancy and her tarty clothes! And we've still got Lulu!
Dan? Seriously?!
I should think people are voting for Anton rather than Nancy
Russell was fab and I really hope he stays for ages. Still rooting for Audley, Robbie and now Alex too.
Dreadful, dreadful outcome - who on Earth is voting for that woman?! Surely it's not Anton's fans? He doesn't even look like he is enjoying it at all. Maybe he has a lot of enemies....?
Highlights for me this week were.... Alex - I thought she was fabulous, so simple and elegant and graceful. Splendid! Chelseeeee - still think she's doing better than I ever expected, and she's fun to watch. Jason and Holly were great but in typical British fashion I prefer to see someone discover an ability they've never used, rather than just being predictably good. Always back the underdog lol! And Rory..... was just fabulous, of course
. Russell is still brilliant - bless him. All in all, a great show apart from the wrong person going home.
The Footloose lot were pretty good too, weren't they? Julianna Hough is amazing. I think I'd quite like to see the film, it's getting great reviews.
I couldn't believe the result on Sunday. My screaming of "NOOOOOOO!" even brought Raffles in from the kitchen to see what had happened. A note to Anton fans: for the sake of our hero's sanity, PLEASE STOP VOTING FOR HIM!
I think Harry has great potential but is hampered by Aliona's dodgy choreography. I still haven't forgiven her for the tumble fest that was Matt's show dance.
Jason was ace but he does need to start looking at posture and the good ol' "top line". Performance will take him a long way but the judges will start to get picky soon.
Rory, of course, was fabulous. And I admited in public yesterday that I havie a crush on him
looks like we're all in agreement! I even thought Anton looked disappointed to have to stay in
and Rory is a sweetie
Having seen Robbie's appearance on "Loose Women" last week I have to say he comes across as rather shy and sweet, not at all like his footballing bad boy image. I think I'm switching allegiance!
Caveat - no, I don't watch "Loose Women" every day, I'm usually safely at work when they're on!
Phew - you had me worried there.
I must admit, Robbie has "something", and it's not just the Welsh accent (which I do love). He just seems so nice and really surprised that he likes dancing.
Rory's the man, what a lovely man.....
(I can still fantasise about Artem in the buff though cant I.......)
Before the series started I thought Nancy might go first week being a foreigner (real foreigner not almost British Australian
) Also she isn't really a celebrity and third I suspected she might be a little mad. So I felt a bit sorry for her, not a lot mind. However having seen her dance I thought she should be first out. Could live with Edwina going last week but had to be Nancy this week.
It is a bit strange because as she was bottom two she obviously isn;t getting many votes but just enough to prevent her going. Not sure if it is Anton voters or Italian Restaurant owners that are keeping her in but frankly I can;t stand the women plus she can;t dance. Please send her home next week.
Apart from that I think it is quite open. Jason is clear favourite although I also tend to think he has the most background. Not an out and out dancer but he has done musicals. He will go al lthe way to the final I suspect BUT may get caught out there, we'll see.
Alex is getting a lot better as are Robbie and Rory. Chelsee is a lot better than I ever imagined as well. Russell is sort of the comic figure, except that for his size he is actually pretty light on his feet and I think needs to be pushed to try a serious attempt at a dance.
Best line of the night was Craig telling Russell to me more masculine. Politically incorrect it may have been but I was rolling around the floor. Sorry I should say ROFL !
Thought Lulu was useless, Brendan danced around her whilst she stretched now and then.
Anita's made me tear up
Alex was lovely again and I am really warming to her personality. Doing Latin again may be her undoing though?
Jason, Holly, Chelsee and Harry all good
Falling in lust with Robbie
Wasn't too bothered about Dan going, something 'arrogant' about him I didn't like.
I only caught the very end of her interview Len, and that was more than enough. Poor Brendan (never thought I'd say that!).
I caught a bit of Nancy on Chris Evans this morning on the way to work, and although her dancing is probably still awful, I have warmed to her a bit. I think some of the "oh look at wonderful me" is actually her trying to be funny, but it's coming across wrong because of her accent.
So Lulu out next, then Nancy, rather than the other way round.
Finally caught up with this week's ITT. I don't know if it's because I'm a bit ill (stupid cold
), or because I'm nervous about the rugby tomorrow (good luck France!) but none of the dances are standing out this week.
Everyone seems to be struggling and some of them look like they're going to be car crashes - Rory's cha cha
, Nancy's paso 
So somebody needs to pull it out of the bag and wow me!
Miss Jones Strictly Blogspot
Heres the blog again - I've just put a link up to save copying out cos I'm busy today. Can't wait for tonight. Not watched much ITT so don't know what to expect really.
edit - this link shows comments
Really looking forward to tonight. Have been doing lots of work in the garden so can sit with wine and choccies without any guilt
Hopefully Lulu's last week, then Nancy next week. Not sure where I go after that?
Len - Zoe asking Lulu how she looks so good - she puts it down to good diet, genes etc
I was screaming "Plastic Surgery!" at the TV for that bit, TS
I forgot I've agreed to go to the cinema tonight so I'll have to watch later on tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks TS - I've found it:

Nothing comes even close to JfW and Hammy though.
Bring back the dance-off - at least the judges would get rid of the bad dancers if they could .
This evening we are having a few friend round for pizza and SCD
