On Sunday Brunch Guest Michaela Strachan just said to Simon Rimmer pointedly “so if you DO go out tonight did you have a great time?.”
He replied equally pointedly “”I’m having the best time”.
What a bitch to do that on live tv.

Think it was time he went, especially as last night wasn't a great dance for him. But what a bitch Michaela.

She’s spent the morning being “honest” and quite patronising. Maybe working with that tosser Chris Packham has rubbed off.
Stick with watching otters, or whatever it is you do, love.

Very pleased that he went. He really couldn’t dance. Whatever he was doing wasn’t entertaining to watch. He must have worn the most unflattering outfits ever in the history of Strictly... You could see he wasn’t an easy shape to dress, but they could have toned down the Toad of Toad Hall look week in week out. I don’t follow him in “real life” but am aware he’s a TV chef. I won’t miss his dances next week, I’m afraid, and I certainly won’t miss seeing where he keeps his Jersey Royals. Debbie or Aston to win...?

I think the final four will be Aston, Alexandra, Debbie and either Gemma or Joe. Hard to say how it'll go after that. Gemma does seem to have a lot of support and could be the dark horse.

I’m not up to speed with why Chris Packham could or couldn’t be a tosser to be honest, but I caught a BBC programme about him earlier this week where he talked openly about his Asperger’s. It made for interesting, and very sad, viewing. I didn’t see him in a negative light before, but I do see him in a very different light now.

Can we tone down the condescending sexism, please? And 'tosser' and 'bitch' don't have much of a place on here either tbh.

Mollie vs Aston, Aston out
Not sad to see his smug face go, and no more him getting praise for what he has basically been doing for years instead of actually doing the traditional dance moves

Blimey - that is a shock result.
Aston is the better dancer - he may be doing his own thing but Mollie has offered nothing more than mediocre.

Why would anyone save Mollie? She's horrendous. Ah well, she'll be in the dance off again next week. Must've signed up for the tour, so they're keeping her in.

Apart from her little stumble i thought Mollie was the better dancer tonight and if they really do just base it on the dance off then Aston deserves to go.
Its Jeanette's fault for giving him that 70's story to that style of dance.

I haven’t watched yet but the result seems pretty shocking. What did he do, stand still?

He did a Viennese Waltz to a Michael Jackson track - whilst wearing 70s clothing and a bad afro wig. Totally wrong styling - and the dance had very little flow.

Oh. Sounds terrible. Daresay he lost the grannies' vote. I’ll have a look tomorrow morning. Thanks for the info.

He only got 25 points - which put him very near the bottom of the leaderboard - so was in trouble from the start

Big shock he went even though he only scored 25 points, I thought Mollie may have gone being in Dance off two weeks in a row with judges saying they think Aston was better dancer overall. I know Tess says it is based on that dance alone but if judges decide to take wider view they cannot be made to change their minds.
Feel sorry for Janette as she is a fantastic little dancer and has a great personality and I was really looking forward to seeing their showdance. I honestly had them down as finalists with Alexandra from about week 2 with another or another 2 and that was my view up until tonight

He was dreadful tonight - middle of the road and very stodgy. Shirley very good with her critiques. Mollie not streets ahead but preferred her. Obviously I haven't seen the dance-off yet but assuming they perform as they did tonight, I can't blame the judges for the result.
Soft spot for Ruth and Anton getting bigger and bigger. Think they'll go a decent bit further due to the legions of This Morning and Loose Women viewers that will be voting. But I like them.
Is Blackpool happening again this year? Two weeks today?

Yes that was a shock. Although Aston was dire last night, mostly down to poor choreography and the way it was staged with his awful costume and wig. He is the better dancer but not on last nights performance.

Quite right too. He's not improved at all since week one. Alexandra next please.

As nice as he is, Jonnie is the contestant who I think is on borrowed time. His last few dances have been a right mess and I think the judges have been very kind to him.
I think he'll last a while longer yet though.

I did fear that might happen to Jonnie tonight - he wasn't at his best. But even his worst is better than Ruth's best.

No shock it was Ruth.

Yes, about time. Apart from last week the celebs leaving are the poorer dancers this year which makes a change from previous years.

She was really poor. Anton is supposed to be the king of the foxtrot so what happened there? I think maybe what happened is that she gave up a little it being a few weeks in quite enough thank you and I’ve got stuff to get on with kind of thing 😳

Oh phew I was a bit worried for Jonnie. Poor Ruthie, she wasn't good but she gave it a good crack every week. But I thin it was the right stage to go. Glad to see Jonnie and Susan make it to Blackpool.
