As predicted Lynda has been sent home, but it was close.

I may not have written it, but I did think that was going to be a 2-2 result.

Out of the bottom two I think the right person went, but still would prefer to see one or both of the Jo(e)s in the dance-off.

Did the judges make the right choice?

Lynda up first:

Does seem a bit livelier, why does Lynda save the better performances for the dance-off?!

I still don’t think it has enough drive however, and just as I was about to say how good it was to see her not make the same mistake again, she mucks up the ending. Shame.

Now for Craig:

A little bit John Wayne in places (some of my male students might recognise that phrase!)

Frame does look better this time round.

Again I think a better performance than during the show.

This is really going to be a hard one to call but I think they will say that Craig has more potential.

Yes, is the answer to that question – we’ll never know how close that vote was!

Joe Calzaghe saved from the bottom spot for yet another week, is the whole of Wales voting for him?!

Jo Wood saved as I predicted, Craig could still be in the bottom two…

Well done Ian, could tell you were getting a little worried there!

Out of these two it’s difficult to call but I think Lynda might be going home, she has surprised me before though.

Sorry guys if these posts are a little delayed, for some reason the posts are taking a while to upload.

A dance that I feel will really suit Lynda, let’s see if she pulls it off.

Predicted 7’s based on training but this performance is looking a little wooden and bumpy, Foxtrot should move gracefully and smoothly across the floor.

A little slip up near the end didn’t help.

A ‘nice’ performance but a little uninspiring I felt. Looking at 6’s.

Rav really let himself down in that dance-off, with a worse performance than actually during the competition.

Hat off to Lynda though, i’d written you off but you upped your game in the dance-off and definitely deserve to come back next week.

So, another week, another celebrity going home. Rav looks distraught and I can understand why, there’s just no other feeling that can match dance competition when you really enjoy it.

Do you agree with the result, or even the final two?

As predicted the audience have saved Joe Calzaghe.

Will Jo Wood also be saved?

Phil Tufnell will have a hard job next week as I imagine he can’t train until he recovers from his knee surgery.

Whether she’s through or not I think they’ll leave Jo until the final three anyway, just to up the suspense.

…or not…lol

Again as predicted the audience have saved both the Jo(e)s. Is my earlier prediction going to prove correct?

…No!

So Lynda and Rav are in the final two, I think Rav will be saved again but the judges have surprised me in the past.


Slower Flamenco hand movement at the start, but still superfluous due to the speed as it has no impact.

I do think this is a better performance than earlier, but I don’t think the lipstick nose look is good for Darren!


Rav looks like a defeated man and certainly showing a lack of confidence/drive at the start there.

Little bit shaky and still huge gaps between them, Rav is neglecting to close his feet on the chasses.


Based on the dance-off I’d have to actually give it to Lynda.

A dance that requires passion and performance. Cha Cha wasn’t very good last time but this could be a lot better.

Classic dress design, not quite sure about the Flamenco moves to start with – too rushed to get the impact.

Lacks ‘attack’ and is a bit too soft for my liking but definitely better than her first two outings on the dance floor.

Think this will only get a 6 however.

Unfortunately no real hip movement, needs to use the floor a little better (hip movement is generated by pushing into the floor).

Should be dancing on the balls of the fleet and seems flat at points.

Admittedly not as good as Ali’s Rumba so I suppose I might have under-marked, but I think this will be a 5/6

So it appears I am being too kind!

So time to put my stricter (see what I did there!) hat on.

If you’re going to pick the foot up and flick, make sure you definitely do all three, and try not to become half hearted.

I bet getting her dress snagged hasn’t helped the nerves, thank God she managed to shake it off.

A solid performance overall but based on scores so far i’m saying a 6.
