Oh my god! OH MY GOD! I can't believe I managed to stay spoiler-free! From the comments I thought the big news was the tiff over Ricky and Erin's dance, and something about Jade's eyebrows! ALI AND ZOE! ALI AND ZOE! WT MUTHA-F-ING F???
Although, to be scrupulously honest, at the end of the dances I couldn't even remember what Ali and Brian's dance had been, and her foot bruising appeared to have extended as far as her eye makeup, and I hated Zoe and James's samba, and she was dressed as an ice-dancing cocktail waitress at the Rainforest Cafe, so that may explain it, but still, people: CHRIS. LAILA. CRAIG, FFS. Why can't I make the capital letters bigger on this thing? CRAIG!!!!! WHO IS VOTING FOR THESE PEOPLE?
I can't really bring myself to summarise the rest of it. I can't even remember the rest of it. Jo was terrible in the first one and kept falling over, so her departure was what we in the trade would call THE CORRECT DECISION, and Ricky W's foxtrot in the second was one of the all time great Strictly dances (though seriously, a point off from Craig RH because he doesn't like his toes? Pull yourself together, man), and I am still in love with Phil Tufnell and concur with Katya that he is sexier than Antonio Banderas, and I do wonder if the bearded BeeGee is regretting his decision in the 1970s to sing falsetto because it didn't sound great then and now it sounds like he is being strangled, although not as bad as Dave Arch, his Fabulous Singers and his Wonderful Orchestra mutilating Ever Fallen In Love as if the song had shat on their mother's bed and they were out for revenge, and I was disappointed that the pro-dance stripper dance didn't feature Natalie, though Aliona does a great job of dancing like a really scary stripper, and did I mention I watched Flashdance on DVD in Dorset, a film which makes being a stripper look like really good fun, and we're veering off the point now, but ALI AND ZOE, PEOPLE. ALI AND ZOE. I go away for FIVE MINUTES and look what a mess you make of things! CAN WE GET A BIT OF HEAVY ORCHESTRATION GOING HERE PLEASE?

It does at least help a little that Zoe went out on the World's Most Boring samba. By the time all the dances had finished I knew she'd be in the dance-off.
As for Ali, all the way through the encore she looked like she was in so much pain she was trying not to cry so maybe the judges felt sorry for her! I would have voted for Zoe to just to put Ali out of her misery!
The saddest thing is that Zoe still thinks (ITT) the public didn't like her. She's suffering from early Lisa Snowdon syndrome: if the public don't think you'll need saving, they're busy voting for someone a bit more rubbish...sadly :(
My voting system on the night goes thus: twice for someone amazing, once for someone I enjoyed and want to see again who I think needs the votes, and not at all for anyone I thought was utterly rubbish (viz Jo and Joe). Any variants on that?
Do you know what I think it is? If James Jordan is your partner you are done for because nobody likes him. Well, Ola seems to. But that's it.
and Brian, apparently.
I know that this is a story that has played out in the press for weeks, but really I must return to the traversty of judgedom that is Alesha Dixon. I feel sorry for the girl - she is trying hard and is putting on a good act of pretending she knows what she's talking about - but I'm sorry, since Arlene left I can barely summon up the will to watch the show anymore. And as for "good ol'Brucey", he is starting to make me feel quite ill. Even the always smiling forever radiant Tess seems to barely be able to disguise her distaste for him these days. The only thing that's keeping me watching now is the costumes and, of course, the utterly divine Mr Matthew Cutler.
I blame the wardrobe department entirely for Zoe's exit. How can anybody be expected to do a convincing Brazilian party dance dressed like a character from 'Hello Dolly'? Does not compute.
This has nothing to do with dancing, and you are likely one of the informed when it comes to David Tennant news. But I saw this had to make sure you are aware of it. lol!
David's bed is up for charity auction...there you have been informed : )

My word verification is "buccozd", which is in fact the noise I made when I saw the above pictures.
