Strictly

Is is me or aren't the dances very exciting tonight considering it's a semi final.

I am very jealous of Rachel's petiteness and Lisa's legs though lol :)

Am also taking bets on how long Tess Daly can keep her modesty in that dress :)

I take it back, Tess has shoved them back in and loved Lisa & Brendon's quickstep!

What happened was puting the cat out .Did all three go through .What about all the votes and the money paid .

[Twenty20]

All three went through so it was just a waste of time (and money for anyone who voted)

[sara3]

all the votes are carried forward to next week's final, but I do think it was a bit misleading.

fantastic dresses and dancing though.. I'm so jealous!

I reckon that so many people voted for Tom and Camilla that the producers were worried. It was obvious that T & C would have to be in the dance off, even if they got the most viwer's votes. It was also obvious that, in that case, the judges would have to vote them off. So the Beeb decided that, rather than risk yet another Strictly Fiasco, they'd let all three go though. The show's timing (or rather lack of it) shows that it wasn't expected.

I just wish that the producers and judges would wake up and accept that the show is either (a) a viewers' choice or (b) a dance competition.

If the Judges want a proper dance competition then they should just bring back "Come Dancing" and let the viewing figures slip back down to single figures. If it's a genuine viewer's vote then the viewers should be able to decide, not a stroppy frustrated wannabe-dancer, a sex-starved former hot gossip granny, dance school pensioner and Bruno (the only decent one of the lot).
