Not that it makes a blind bit of difference, but has anyone noticed how all over the place the judges scoring is.

Shirley in particular seems very erratic in her marking.

But Brucie was not a judge - and we all know what Brucie meant!!

But nonetheless reasonable result in the end. I think it's rapidly developing into half a dozen couples who ought to be in the final rounds and the rest who have little chance. With a clear gap between.

I keep looking for a lottery "spoiler" but without any success.

I was amazed there was an actual winner this week, scooping near four million. Hardly worth getting out if bed for ;)

My prediction for tonight.

I think Simon Rimmer will go tonight, with him being in the dance off with Susan Calman.

No offence intended Jan, but I can never understand why anyone would want to know the results before watching the show. If they are not interested in the show why bother finding out the results in advance :crazy:

Because it means that you can fast forward through the painful, drawn out announcing who is through to next week and who is in the dance off.

Anything to cut out those painful little time fillers whilst they announce who is dancing next week or the interviews where they ask how they are feeling. They are hardly going to say 'Well, I was rather hoping I would get knocked out of the show this week' are they?
It's the same with those silly little playlets they put together. Why not show them training and practising. We had friends round last night so we recorded the show and watched it later. It was great fast forwarding the usual nonsense and just watching the dancing and what the judges had to say.
I know who goes out tonight but I'll still be watching it purely forentertainment value (probably instead of watching a queue of F1 motors snaking their way around a track!!!).

But please can I appeal to those who do look at the spoiler not to even hint at it on this thread? Good to see speculation and comment here but some of us do enjoy watching both the Saturday and Sunday shows as broadcast without knowing the answer. Pretty please?

No not you Gill. But some hints give the game away.
