Another duffer left tonight. Nikita had nothing going for her really. Who's next for the chop? I reckon it could be Zara, Adam, Eddie even after his ridiculous 10 from Shirley or Jody but I still think he might get the sympathy vote.

Not being funny here as I know he is well liked... But is Nigel a bit of a Rainman...? Don't get me wrong, what I saw of him on EE his acting is really good... And he seems to pick up the dance moves really quickly without fail...
But he just comes across totally what I wouldn't expect when he's talking to camera etc... Almost a bit like Roy Cropper if you get my drift... Very intelligent but socially awkward... What's your take...?

Ellie is coming across as one spoilt little madam... Didn't like being criticised did she...? Brought her back down to earth with a massive bang...
I remember when she first started in CS and I was in an Estate Agents in town for work... Her mother was in there and Ellie was sat in the passenger seat of a Range Rover... Parked on double yellows right outside the shop...
Telling the shop staff how she needed a place near by because her precious cherub had a part in Corrie... Her chin protruding across the counter like one of Bo Selecta's masks... Stuck up bitch...

I honestly don't think so but I do know he is a very private person and tends to give nothing away about his personal life unlike so many others.

No surprise that Jody left tonight. He was bottom of the leader board and his health hasn't been good lately with an infection in his stump. I know the BBC want to make it an all inclusive show but it must be really difficult for these people to compete apart from Rose who could partially hear with hear hearing aid.

(love your stories of being up close and personal to Corrie 'stars') I didn't mind Ellie being a bit upset, she's young and by the sounds of it a bit spoiled but if she keeps it up she'll lose some goodwill with people. I also hate it when they frame their being upset/in tears as 'I let you down!' instead of 'I'm upset because I tried so hard and failed' or 'they're picking on me!!!'. She better learn to take it on the chin, she can't be good every week and this just wasn't her dance. But TBH I was more bothered by the 'excited' screeching in the car on their VT. Nearly made my ears bleed and sooo put on

Almost a bit like Roy Cropper if you get my drift... Very intelligent but socially awkward... What's your take...? I get what you mean. He always comes across as a bit awkward when he's being himself, probably much prefers to be in character. Like walls says he's incredibly private so he's probably not used to having to give interviews and being on camera as himself so much, especially in the VT's where there's often a put on 'happy! happy! We're all happy!' vibe. He probably feels like a bit of a prat lol! TBH I never in a million years thought he'd do Strictly so either he needs the exposure or he's loosening up a bit as he gets older? Seems a nice guy though either way.

Someone who's really growing on me is Kristnan, he just throws himself into everything and doesn't care if he looks a prat lol! And the way they keep on embarrassing his teenage son Angela R's routine wasn't full of content but what she did she did brilliantly and I have to pinch myself that she's 79 with those legs! But what's she going to do if she gets a Jive or other high energy dance? Notice she's got Argentine Tango next week so she'll be fine posing and getting dragged about but surely they're going to run out of more sedate dances for her soon? Leyton is a great dancer but I'm not sure if he'll win? He's exciting to watch though. This week I had problems with Bobby who I felt was just going through the motions and, dare I say it, seemed a tiny bit arrogant when the judges were talking? Just something about his expression? Unless he was still in his 'Tango' character mode? Sometimes I also think their routines are hampered by the height difference, I can see why they put this usually excitable puppy with the excitable puppy of pros but a taller pro would have showed him off better IMO. In a way I'm glad for Jody he's out as the problems with his stump wouldn't have improved. Quite surprising this year that the public are pretty much getting it right every week. I wonder who the first surprise exit will be?

I wonder if Eddie being in the bottom two was a push back from the public who were as bamboozled as I was that he got a 10 from Shirley the week before and saw it as blatant favouritism? I like Eddie but I don't think I've ever seen a less deserving 10.

Nigel & Katya were on the One Show last night for a short slot and he came over perfectly normal and even quite funny over the Patrick Swayze comparison.

No surprise who goes tonight!
I've never voted for Layton and never will. If ever there was a ringer it's him! Nothing against the guy as he is a good dancer but for me it's about learning to dance not improving your already dancing skills.
Also I'm not appreciating the highlighting of Angela Rippon. Yes she is doing well but they seem to be rating her above and beyond what I'm seeing. For her age she is doing remarkably well but they seem to keep highlighting her by giving her top spots.

Why the feck does Leyton dress as a female? If he is gay, which he surely is why doesn't he just dance like John Whaite did. Two men dancing together and creating wonderful dance routines.

He's really got your goat hasn't he eh Wallz... But is he gay or trans...? I don't even know what he does on the outside...
What intrigues me is his heritage... Both his parents are white as is his siblings... Where did he spring from...?

With her quitting, that Amanda... And I don't care what is said she was shite and there was definitely a rift between her and Giovanni... What we saw was only an act for the camera... Perhaps she came on to him and he knocked her back...
They should have brought back Eddie... And made an example of her by publicly humiliating her on the show as a first class quitter... To show the other and any future contestants that you don't mess with the SCD Crew... All the money, time and effort they and us the viewers invested in her and we didn't even get the chance to piss her off is not on in my book...
