As predicted Lynda has been sent home, but it was close.
I may not have written it, but I did think that was going to be a 2-2 result.
Out of the bottom two I think the right person went, but still would prefer to see one or both of the Jo(e)s in the dance-off.
Did the judges make the right choice?

The dance off!
Lynda up first:
Does seem a bit livelier, why does Lynda save the better performances for the dance-off?!
I still don't think it has enough drive however, and just as I was about to say how good it was to see her not make the same mistake again, she mucks up the ending. Shame.
Now for Craig:
A little bit John Wayne in places (some of my male students might recognise that phrase!)
Frame does look better this time round.
Again I think a better performance than during the show.
This is really going to be a hard one to call but I think they will say that Craig has more potential.

The moment of truth!
How will the public have voted this week? Will Anton & Laila's top spot protect them from any backlash from the public?
Yes, is the answer to that question - we'll never know how close that vote was!
Joe Calzaghe saved from the bottom spot for yet another week, is the whole of Wales voting for him?!
Jo Wood saved as I predicted, Craig could still be in the bottom two...
Well done Ian, could tell you were getting a little worried there!
Out of these two it's difficult to call but I think Lynda might be going home, she has surprised me before though.

Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas - Salsa
Phil could've done with a Foxtrot to give his knee a bit of a rest...
Surprisingly good beginning and really nice hip movement and confidence.
A little bit basic at times, with a lot of repetition but that's most likely due to the reduced practice time they've had available.
Not a bad Salsa at all and I upgrade my predicted 6's to 7's after seeing that performance!

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag - Foxtrot
Can the Strictly comedian pull off a serious Foxtrot, well if he can sort out that frame he might have a chance.
The high shoulders do ruin the look, and contribute to the unplanned tilt in the spins.
Shoulders are getting higher as the dance progresses, and that's such a shame.
A nice Foxtrot, ignoring the frame, but I think it'll be the 6's I predicted from the training videos.

Jade Johnson & Ian Waite - Salsa
Jade injured herself during training and I hope it doesn't affect the performance too much tonight.
Based on the training videos I thought this could be 8's.
Good hip action, but has to watch the back breaks, they could benefit from being a lot more compact.
Energetic but seems a little lost at points. 7-8's.

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace - Foxtrot
Craig had a really tough time last week so let's hope he remembers the whole routine this week, and keep that frame strong!
Frame is definitely improved, though the left arm is moving around far too much, it should stay in position throughout the dance.
Would help with balance in the spins and turns if he stopped looking at Flavia.
A little coarse and stiff in parts, but a nice performance. Think it will be 6's.

Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe - Salsa
Ricky could pull out another top spot, and take the glory from Anton, but I was only thinking 8's earlier.
The start is a little disjointed for me and just seems to be a collection of moves rather than coherent dance. Good hip actions though, shame about the hands not quite working in the between the legs drop.
Not as good as last week but I think it will still be 8's.

Laila Rouass & Anton du Beke - Foxtrot
I've predicted this to get the top marks of the night, don't let me down Laila!
Will be interesting to see if the midweek publicity affects how the public vote, but let's hope the performance is what people focus on.
I want to see a 9's performance here guys!
Foxtrot is definitely my favourite dance and this is the best Foxtrot so far (not surprising considering Anton is the Ballroom expert professional on the show.
Can't quite tell if there wasn't a slight mistake there or not, and Laila still needs to watch her shoulders.
Without seeing the feet I still think this should achieve 9's.
