To be fair, his views on Denise are rather strong, but i don't get all the fuss over her by the judges either. I wasn't sure about her Charleston last week. She's never been in any danger of being in the dance-off so it will be interesting when it gets down to the latter stages. Just a hunch but not sure whether she's as popular as some, Lisa, Louis, Victoria etc.

Woohoo! I always watch it while everyone else watches Crap Factor! I do have to v plus it though and fast forward through all the links and crap jokes from Bruce! Dancing and the scores/comments is enough for me. My daughter loves Dani and is pleased she has done so well. It will be interesting to see who is bottom two this week.

I haven't watched this weeks yet but I'm guessing a certain mouthy essex bint famous for being one of those pathetic "ladettes" will be top of the leaderboard once again... and I would put money on them pushing the kiddies tv presenter (who to be fair is quite good) and the member of the miming scrubbers who have no real shot at winning up while ensuring the best dancers (Lisa & Louis) are given harsh critiques and low scores.

Well if you do actually watch it, maybe their dances weren't as good and the others were. Lisa didn't look suited to that dance, Victoria did look like a rabbit caught in the headlights, and Dani, Kimberly and Denise looked good to my eyes. Lisa looks good in one or two types of dances, to win this you have to do them all well in my book, and she was not as good as she's been last night. Victoria will be bottom two, not sure who with, but I think she will go if she is bottom two. She still looks uncomfortable

I have watched it and with the exception of Lisa who wasn't very good I was right. Dani should have been the top scorer but as I said she is quite good. The blatant bias towards Denise is ridiculous, and its not just me who thinks so as there are many articles about it as well.
Victoria should go this week but she was never in contention.

Denise would have had the same score but for Bruno giving her the 10, so are you saying he's biased in favour of her? If the public didn't like her, they wouldn't vote for her, Kimberley was 2nd one week and bottom two still, so to some extent she must be popular, and her dances are good. She was one point better than Dani and someone else this week.

Strictly Come Dancing will be more festive than ever this Christmas day with a special line-up of six brand new celebrities taking to the dance floor. This year celebrities include football star Fabrice Muamba, actress Sheila Hancock, JLS’s Jonathan “JB” Gill, entertainer Bobby Ball, comedienne Katy Brand and TV presenter Helen Skelton.
As well as the six new celebrities, this year will see The Strictly Allstars – nine contestants from previous series welcomed back, who will trip the light fantastic in a group routine of their own.
Making up the Allstars, Rachel Stevens, Chelsee Healey, Natasha Kaplinsky, Kelly Brook, Chris Hollins, Tom Chambers and Colin Jackson will all return to the dancefloor to show that they’ve still got what it takes, with a special guest appearance from favourites Ann Widdecombe and Russell Grant.
To cap the line-up, Rod Stewart will be bringing some festive cheer as he stops in to perform Let It Snow.
The new and returning celebrities will be partnered by the Strictly professional dancers as follows:
Bobby Ball - Katya Virshilas JB Gill - Ola Jordan Fabrice Muamba - Aliona Vilani Sheila Hancock - Ian Waite Katy Brand - Anton du Beke Helen Skelton - Artem Chigvintsev
Natasha Kaplinsky - Ian Waite Rachel Stevens - Vincent Simone Kelly Brook - Brendan Cole Chelsee Healey - Pasha Kovalev Tom Chambers - Kristina Rihanoff Chris Hollins - Ola Jordan Colin Jackson - Erin Boag
As usual, Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly will host, the judges Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli be on hand to critique, and it’s the studio audience who’ll decide who takes home the title of Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Champions 2012.
The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special will air on Christmas Day on BBC One and BBC One HD.

Denise must be livid at not even being Top 2 this week! Of course, its probably to try and make it look like it isn't a fix... not that she is actually in any danger of being in the bottom 2 as they won't let that happen. It will be Michael and the boyblander, with Michael out this week and the boyblander out next.

So if they give her good marks, it's a fix, and if they dont, it's a fix, have you heard yourself? I'm quite intrigued as to what will happen over the next two weeks, as they are all good solid dancers that are left now, maybe Nicky and Kimberly bottom two, but who knows how popular Dani, Denise and Lisa actually are? One bad dance and you could be in trouble? How many do they have in the final week, becasue there are only three weeks left aren't there? Looking forward to the Christmas special as well, rachel stevens and kelly brook, I may just explode!

In the past I think it's been 3 in the final but that's normally been because someone has pulled out during the series. With the dance-off being back this year i'm not sure what they'll do next weekend. Off the top of my head i don't remember anyone withdrawing last year, so i think the bottom 2 with the combined judges score/public vote simply left.

Thanks MK, thought that would be the case but wasn't sure.
Nicky to go tonight? Although not sure who else will be in the dance-off. If Lisa really is as popular as i suspect she might be then Denise could be in trouble - even though i thought her performance was very good, and i'm not generally fussed about her either way.

She had to avoid the bottom 2 - they would have saved any of the other 4 over her sadly Would rather had lost Louis or Denise

At long last she's gone, she was awful last night.
Kimberley to win, she was excellent last night, especially with the 3 cartwheels. Maximum points all round.

They were all better dancers and more versatile than Lisa, it was the right decision. She has done brilliant to get this far. Is the final public vote only? If so, has only Dani not been bottom two at some point?

Louis hasn't been bottom 2 either. We know Denise had less votes than anyone remaining last week.
I hope they don't include judges scores in the first section.
I just hope Denise comes 4th. It's ridiculous how they've shoe horned her into the final. I've never liked the dance-off anyway.
I'd like to see Dani and Vincent win.

To be honest I was surprised Denise was headlined for Strictly, she has experience over the rest, she has done Broadway mind you Kim has also done Shrek the Musical, I just think Broadway stands above the rest. I'm also hoping Denise comes 4th.
And the final is public vote only.

Be nice to see Dani win as well, although I have no problem with Kimberly winning as well, as the Girls Aloud career is over. I dont agree that Denise has been shoe horned into the final, she's a good dancer!
