A rumba to Frozen Madonna sounds like it's headed right for the dance off.

I'm trying to think of any reason to use the Banana Boat Song in Halloween week. What on earth will they dress as?

Why do they undermark Fleur - interesting comment from Motsi about powerful women, eh?

Loved the costumes and make up.
Motsi's make up half-fact make up was amazing.
I loved Thing sitting on Shirley's shoulder.
Craig will jump at any opportunity to drag up.
It always puzzles me that Tess and Claudia never dress up.
I thought Vito looked completely different.
Everyone seems to have improved considerably. Iy'll be interesting to see who's in the dance-off.

I used to really like Shirley’s judging but I think it’s been awful this season.
Every single week it looks like Ellie T gives 70% energy into her routines. When you compare her with johannes she doesn’t match his energy or enthusiasm at all and the judges haven’t commented on it once, but it’s SO obvious. She just doesn’t put enough into each move.
I thought Ellie and Nikitas foxtrot was awful, so slow, no flow, she could be in trouble.
I thought Tyler and Dianne were a lot better than half of the judges said they were. Same with Molly, I thought she got under scored.
James was a bit all over the place and I think he will be in the dance off.
I have so many issues with the song choices, if the song isn’t Halloween themed then it shouldn’t be used.

Tess's sparkly boots were ghastly. Claudia's fluorescent stilettos were even worse.
Apart from perhaps in the Charleston, wearing pumps never seems to work for anyone, celebrity or professional.
Graziano looks much better with his hair like it was on Saturday night.

I thought Molly was going to end up in the dance off again, usually they put last weeks dance off couple through first.
I think Fleur in the dance off might have been a result of the audience not having their song choice or routine being Halloween themed.
But this isn’t the first time in the dance off, is she not connecting with the audience?

Vito's geeky look made him almost unrecognisable, maybe that's why they ended up in the dance off. Next week I recommend the usual flimsy shirt and tight trousers, or better yet, no shirt at all.

Molly's partner is a brilliant dancer but he isn't great at showing her off to best advantage. Something dancers like Giovanni do extremely well.
I suspect that is partly why they are starting to fade a little.
Fleur isn't a big name in the grand scheme of things. Her pop career never really took off and now she is a radio presenter for a minor station. She just doesn't have a huge support base to escape the middle of the pack.

Apparently there is an arsenal online forum of 100,000 who are voting for Tony every week and he is topping the public vote.In some ways it was always a popularity contest as all of these reality / talent shows are.

I did warn everyone about this! Us Arsenal fans go crazy when there’s a vote involved. I haven’t supported the campaign though, I haven’t even voted this year yet. |

Are football fans really bothered about Strictly and Tony Adams performance? Does that mean Big Tony is in the final then? |

Does that mean Big Tony is in the final then? 99% of arsenal fans probably aren’t even watching it, but I can guarantee that most of them will be voting just cos. If there’s an Arsenal player or the team in a vote for player of the month, goal of the month, etc you can guarantee that we will always win the vote. There will need to be a loophole for him to get voted out. |

Anyway, I was basing my results purely on the four (match going) Arsenal fans I know and none of them have ever voted for Strictly. |

Given that the voting stats are never made public, they can get him out at any point if they so choose.
