Still think my favourite Nicola can't dance - she moves like a boxer, not a dancer - and suspect HRVY will win.

I thought Nicola did very well, and so did the Judges (24/30). She could be more elegant granted, but that will come with time. Bill Bailey was a sensation, getting 8s in week too is amazing for a comedian in his late 50s. I thought that he would be the fall guy, getting 2s and 3s, and taking the piss, but he turns out to be very good and entertaining. HRVY is technically very good, but not very entertaining or likeable. Those working in music or theatre have obvious advantages. I think Jackie Smith is toast, she was lumbering around like a drunk. Not good enough or entertaining enough to stay in. Where is Pru with the spoilers?

Indeed; Pru we need you!

It was so obvious Jacqui was going out that it really wasn't any surprise. But I do regret Anton always leaving so early. Why do they give him such elderly duds as partners?

Because he is an elderley dude himself, by far the oldest male dancer, the series would be improved by ditching him and Bruno. I find Bruno's over-acting gestures really annoying, and if he can't be bothered to do the whole series, don't bother at all.
