Quarter Final Night

Ooo! I'd forgotten that Brucie was off this week. Is it bad that I'm excited about that? Things seem to run so much more smoothly with Tess and Claudia in charge and Claudia is so funny.

Ashley & Ola - Salsa - 35 points

Scarecrow alert! I think this must be a rehearsal photo, Anya's hair looked a lot better than that on the show.

Susanna & Kevin - Argentine Tango - 32 points

The Swingathon

The Swingathon returns. All six couples took to the floor at the same time and were eliminated one by one for extra points. Unfortunately Susanna & Kevin were out first followed by Ashley & Ola. Thwen Abbey & Aljaz were eliminated....Sophie & Brendan next, leaving Patrick & Anya coming in second and Natalie & Artem won...collapsing in a pile of exhaustion on the dance floor!

RESULTS

Bottom two - Ashley & Ola and Patrick & Anya

Leaving - Ashley & Ola 

In my humble opinion this was completely the wrong result.... it should have been bye bye to Patrick. I've been trying to get rid of him from the start, so you know what's gonna happen, he'll probably win the whole thing. I was awaiting the results with baited breath this week, convinced that Susanna & Kevin would end up in the bottom two with Ashley & Ola and probably be eliminated. Fortunately, once again, after a bit of a panning from the judges, the public vote kept Susanna in for another week.
