Too true. At risk of going off topic, I did buy ten identical items in a shop without a fancy till and they had to use a calculator to work out the bill. But back to Aliona.......

Really enjoyed last night's show with Anita's pastadoble being the stand out performance for me. I also thought Jamillia deserved a few more points as her foot work was superb... it's just a shame that from her ankles up she looks a bit stiff. As for Peters performance, if it wasn't for his fan base he would be walking tonight.

Last Strictly for Len. Anton favourite to take over, and an excellent choice.

Anita has been consistently good, as has Georgia. Aliona looked lovely.................

Jamilia gone this time, but I did not think she was the least good!! Perhaps they thought that Peter had more chance to improve . Now the competition begins.

That was the biggest fix ever. Both Darcy and Bruno looked very uncomfortable voting Peter, who was streets behind Jamelia

Judges did NOT vote on the dance, just past performance.

They even had to make Peter dance twice in the Dance Off, so he could get a standing ovation. Tragic!

I think on performance over the weeks it was the right result. Peter had a bad week but overall is much better than Jamelia. But from here on anyone's guess...

From the little I know about dancing I thought Jamelia danced well. Over the past few weeks she has not been the best but on this occasion she looked the better of the two.

I agree Peter has been better overall, but last night, Jamelia was the better dancer, both in the main show and the Dance Off. It was obvious the judges had been told how to vote.

Either way, neither of them was likely to win on recent form

Peter should go next week as all the others are much better dancers.

These dance off's sing off's (x factor) are a complete waste of time if the judges have already made up their minds who they wanted to stay.

Bad choice on tonight's performance

We all know it's a popularity contest, and there isn't much love for Peter Andre out there in internet land. I predict he'll be in the dance off next week

I thought Anita and Gleb were stunning this week. I'd like to see Anita win, as she hasn't had the performance background , and she improves week on week

I can probably overlook little things like that.

Not too off topic, I hope: we have a lady who does a particular job for us in the garden (better not say what - it's a small world) called Aliona. First time she was due, husband spotted lurking around trying to look casual, but unable to conceal one of his more hopeful looks.

When she rolled up, definitely more East European shot putter than East European dancer, haha.

Too many steroids I reckon. Still she looks good on TV once the makeup people have done their magic
