BB FANS

I really enjoyed watching Louisa and Vincent dancing this week - thought they looked and danced better than Emma and Darren.

I don't mind if Lousia, Emma or Mark win now, hope Matt is voted out next Saturday night.

'CRAIG AND ARLENE ARE THE DARK SIDE, LEN AND I ARE THE JEDI'

EXCLUSIVE STRICTLY COME DANCING'S BRUNO ON WARRING JUDGES BEST FOR TV

HE'S flamboyant, outrageous and fiery - the perfect OTT mix for Strictly Come Dancing. So it's no wonder the public have taken Italian-born judge Bruno Tonioli to their hearts.

But while he and no-nonsense head judge Len Goodman may have charmed viewers of the Saturday night dance-fest, unfortunately the same can't be said for their Queen of Mean colleagues, Arlene Phillips and Craig Revel Horwood.

Bruno admits that he and Len often wince at some of Arlene and Craig's acerbic putdowns.

Even after four series of the hit show, Bruno is still shocked at how far the pair go.

"Arlene and Craig are the Dark Side and Len and I are the Jedi," he says. "We're like a big, bickering family. Sometimes Craig goes too far and I think: 'What is he on?!' "I prefer to give people the chance to laugh at themselves and improve rather than sending them away depressed.

"But all the arguing is forgotten about after the show. I've known Arlene for 30 years for goodness sake."

Tenth Show Result
Another couple waves goodbye to Strictly.



After a steamy Argentinian Tango by Vincent and Flavia, and a performance of Too Lost With You by the Sugarbabes it was time to announce the next couple to leave the competition.

Firstly, Tess and Bruce announced which of the two couples had definitely made it through to dance another week, and which two will be performing again in the dance off.

In no particular order, the first two couples through were Mark and Karen, followed by Matt and Lilia.

This left Louisa and Vincent, and Emma and Darren at the bottom of the table to battle it out for the last place in the competiton.

First up were Emma and Darren with their Tango to Maneater, followed by Louisa and Vincent's American Smooth to Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me.

Sadly, despite a dazzling performance from Louisa and Vincent, the pair have had to wave goodbye for good tonight.

"I've lived every girls dream out there," said an emotional Louisa, "I've loved it." BBC

I am at a lose of words on tonights results
How Emma and Louise were in the last two is beyond me and I only hope people start voting for Emma to win because as far as dancing goes she leaves the two men way behind, imo.

Emma has been in the bottom two 3 times now isn't it?
There's no doubt she is a good dancer but maybe coming across as too desperate to win (always a turn off for the public)

I thought Matt would go tonight and was surprised that it was Louisa but then a lot of weeks have been a surprise!

Another shock result for me last night with Louisa voted out BEFORE Matt Dawson. Matt has improved a LOT over the past weeks but he looks stilted and embarrassing to watch in all of his Latin dance routines - whereas both Emma and Louisa have been consistently good and even when they make mistakes, a pleasure to watch in all the dance routines.IMO

I LOVED watching Louisa and Vincent (more than Emma and Darren) dance over the past weeks but admit Emma is a better dancer than Louisa or any of the remaining contestants and should win for that reason.

I wouldn't mind now if Mark won but if he or Matt win over Emma, the contest is then more to do with popularity than talent.

I think the orchestra and backing singers have been brilliant every week
I love this show, would LOVE to see the American version of SCD too.

If you want to watchh the brill US version you know where to look.
Emma has been voted best dancer on more then one occassion by the judges, like she was last night, and still she comes in the bottom two. So I think it is the female vote that is keeping the men in.
If anything the two men should have been the have been up for the dance-off and Matt should have gone. As it is it will not matter how well Emma does next week one of the men is going to win.

EXCLUSIVE: RAMPS: I'M A LOVE CHEAT

Dancing favourite Mark played away for years with glam mum-of-one.....Mirror

Emma better than Mark? Did you see his samba and salsa? They were the best dances of the series and criminally under marked by the pro-Emma judges.

The backing singers are, by common consent, diabolical. I cant stand them.

And there is a US version of SCD. Its called, I believe, Dancing With The Stars.

Yep, Mark was great at the samba and salsa but so was Emma and she was better than Mark at the tango, jive, paso doble American Smooth, waltz and cha- cha-cha.IMO

Personally speaking, now that my fave Louisa is out, I'd like for Mark to win now but more for Karen's sake as Darren won before with Jill Halfpenny - silly emotive reason I know. However, much as it annoys me to admit, I think Emma is the best all-round dancer and deserves to win for that reason. The judges may very well favour Emma but it hasn't worked in her favour as she's been in the bottom 2 for the past 2 weeks.

I really think the orchestra and backing are great - especially their rendition of Nelly Furtado's 'Man Eater' last Saturday.

'Dancing With The Stars' - I wish it was shown here.

I think Emma performs each dance better then Mark or Matt and should win but as I said the men seem to have it in the bag.....

Another Strictly Exit

And then there were three...

Gosh, hasn't it gone quickly?

The last three celebs in it to win Strictly Come Dancing are Emma Bunton, Mark Ramprakash and Matt Dawson.

EastEnders actress Louisa Lytton and her partner Vincent were the pair who had to wave goodbye in the quarter finals.

"I've lived every girl's dream out there," said an emotional Louisa. "I've loved it."

The heat is on for the final trio of dancers to try and impress the judges. Each of them has to perform two dances that they haven't yet attempted.

But with stiff competition they will have to dance their little socks off to come out on top...
