Its Blackpool week and as our eight remaining couples become seven who is going to blast it in the Mecca for Ballroom dancing?

Whoever leaves tonight can leave with their heads held high carrying the true trophy for dance champions all over the world….. a stick of Blackpool rock!

Jay & Aliona Salsa C9 D9 L9 B9 T36

A great fluid action from Jay with great rhythm and presentation value, all this mashed together with excellently controlled lifts and a performance that any Blackpool champion would be happy with. Easily his best dance yet.

Jamelia & Tristan Quickstep C7 D8 L8 B8 T31

An extremely quick quickstep with Jamelia showing some nice foot patterns, there was however still a little problem with the top line but the energy level was flawless.

Anita & Gleb Paso Doblé C9 D10 L9 B9 T37

This was easily one of the best Paso Doblés to bless the Tower floor, a truly inspirational presentation of this French dance with great technique, which for me would have scored a ten.

Katie & Anton American Smooth (Foxtrot) C8 D9 L9 B9 T35

Beautiful and elegant with great showmanship, Katie slightly lost the edge in the second part of the routine but very well performed.

Peter & Jamelia Jive C6 D7 L8 B8 T29

To be honest I thought there was very little Jive content and Peters chasses were very flat, the energy and as always the performance was pure energy.

Georgia & Giovanni American Smooth (Viennese Waltz) C9 D9 L10 B10 T38

A stunning Smooth with pure Viennese styling, grace, deportment and professionalism demonstrated with effortless beauty.

Helen & Aljaz Charleston C8 D9 L8 B9 T39

What a cheeky Charleston! Great kicks, lines and foot actions from Helen, a very energetic routine, such a shame Helen had a little stumble but a great presentation.

Kellie & Kevin Quickstep C9 D9 L9 B10 T37

A red hot roaring Quickstep that was full of content, energy and functionality with brilliant choreography and amazing showmanship. What a performance.

Every performance was off the record and the BBC has worked so hard to make this easily the best programme gracing our screens.

 

Sundays result show

A full on opening from all our dancers in the result show, with big swings and aerial skills.

It is 25 years since Howard Donald last performed at the Blackpool Tower performing on the original Come Dancing with Angela Rippon, but with Peter & Janette and Jamelia & Tristan in the dreaded dance off, I also agree with Len’s decision to save Jamelia but unfortunately the other judges disagreed (or did they?).

Jamelia hold your head up high as I much preferred your performance and you do hold the title of the celebrity with the most times in the dance off this series, however Peter gets to dance another day.
