Strictly Week 12 - Semi Final

[Eve]

Spoilers for anyone not watching live and it is likely that the dance off result will be posted when it is available online, well before the dance off tomorrow. Who else is watching and who do you think will be the celebrity not to make it through to the final next week?

Beautiful Viennese waltz from Alexandra - her dress was gorgeous, like a cobweb

[murraymints]

9 10 10 10 Alexandra on top

[Toorak]

39 for Alexandra

I am holed up in my bedroom so can't watch, and am watching vicariously thru this thread

[Toorak]

Can you not watch on I-player?

[Eve]

Awww! We'll keep you updated on here. The BBC release the dances on Youtube so they can be watched on there once they are released, not sure if they do it through the programme or after.

Mollie and AJ next with the samba

Oh dear, she is looking a little awkward, not moving very fluidly. Don't think this is her dance! Giving it a good go though. Loved the ending when he dropped her to the floor though (on purpose bednobs, he didn't actually drop her haha!).

[Toorak]

Craig very critical of mollie’s samba

[Toorak]

I think mollie has a lot to do in her next dance...

[bednobs]

Thanks my tablet is so small and ancient. I don't think I can see but no worries.

[Toorak]

A 4 from Craig

[Eve]

She has really had a bad start! She looks fab though. Hopefully a better waltz later! Scores, 4, 7, 7, 6. Oh dear, a 4!!!!

[Toorak]

24 for mollie

[Eve]

Gemma about to do a Rhumba, that and a Tango later, she really got a bad two for the semi final! She has been struggling in training apparently.

[Toorak]

Gemma and Alijaz with the rumba...a difficult dance

[bednobs]

Rhumba is a really odd dance.

[Eve]

Much as I love these two that wasn't a great dance, I know it's a slow one but too slow and a bit stilted between movements and didn't really flow.

[Eve]

Oh, better comments than I thought so that is good, much more complimentary to the ones Mollie got. Scores, 7, 8, 7, 8.
