I think that Joe is good enough to win. He is after all a none dancer and fulfills the "journey" role. His media following is HUGE and he only needs a small percentage of them to actually vote and he will be the clear winner should he be allowed to get to the final when the public have a complete say.

Here we go - will the 'is Danny a bully?' debate affect his result this week? Will there be some dodgy costumes? Will someone be overmarked?

Not just some dodgy costumes - LOTS of them. Oti and Graeme have been stitched with those outfits. Mismatched horrors abound.

It has been over the press the past few days - allegations that Danny has been bullying Amy - causing her to walk out of training and refuse to go back to work with him. Talk of him being on a final warning.
It is being officially denied - other than a slight tiff that is now resolved. But it would seem that they are not really getting on.
(And that was a very messy Samba)

Thank you.
His mum didn’t look impressed either.
I said last week that Danny seems to not take negative feedback well.

There is a sense of entitlement that seems to come from him. Whether that is real or just how he appears on screen (the edit?) - but it is hard to find him endearing.
They are now trying to make Ashley seem more human.
This show is very manipulative.

I will give Pasha and Ashley credit for that routine - it was an engaging piece of dance. Pasha really did get to shine and she did well to try to match his skill.
But the over-heavy playing of the emotion card rather spoils the effect.
It will top the leaderboard.
But I still don't think she will win at the end.

Very frenetic salsa - with awful costume and make-up.
I loved the jive - it was classic, fun, fresh, bouncy. No idea what Shirley is on - she didn't judge that fairly.

What a dull waltz. Feels very dancing by numbers rather than any connection or emotion.

Why do they keep showing the same man in the audience with the multi colour jacket?
Is he famous or something?

That VW was not worth 34. She has not yet discovered how to actually perform. Which ends up with her feeling cold. No matter that AJ does, she does not give anything back emotionally.

Charleston - all the effort on the tricks and lifts - not enough on the basic steps. His time has to be up. No-one can survive a 4th dance off - it is clear that the public don't want you there.

Ridiculous over-marking for Charles. I suspect he will still end up in the bottom 2. He clearly has no public support.

I wanted Lauren to go up until now but that’s the first time ever that she’s appeared to be engaged in it. She’s been bloody rubbish up until now.
I think Kate is in trouble. And that cricketer.

Thought that was a really fun show. Enjoyed most of the dances, particularly Ashley, Charles, Stacey and Lauren. Don't know why there isn't support for Charles - find him really entertaining. Also Joe is endearing.
Bottom two: Danny and (regret to say it) Graeme.

Some weird marking tonight. Joe has been consistently overmarked but how that lifeless Samba got what it did is beyond me. At least there was some reality in Stacey's marking this week but unfortunately I don't think we'll be seeing the back of either of them for a while yet.
Great to see Kate & Graeme, in this rather odd tense series they bring joy to the show.
Ashley is too good to win but she and Pasha are great to watch, loved their dance. Faye is bland but another decent dance.
Thought Charles's Charleston was dodgy button places but would think he is high enough up to keep him safe and nice to see Lauren finally dance well. Danny was harshly marked compared to the rest, I doubt after this week the BBC would be sad to see him go.

Just catching up. Tess has decided to have a pocket down the front of her dress? I know, no personal remarks please.

Well I have loved little Pasha since his 'So You Think You Can Dance' days and I adore when he gets to do a bit of contemporary again. And that routine I admit had me in tears. Loved it. (have no strong opinions on her as a person, but I loved that routine).
Thought both Faye and Kate did very well, as did Stacey. And I do adore Graeme for injecting a bit of fun into things.
Obviously, my Angels in America self felt personally attacked by a Waltz to Moon River.

Must be really odd singing in front of the Strictly audience if you're blind. They keep cheering and applauding at inappropriate moments for things you can't see. Felt a bit sorry for Andrea Bocelli, but it's a bit of a thankless task for any guest singer on this show.
