Looks like Shirley only brought a 10 paddle with her.

Only in the door now and only got to watch Gemma and Aljaz and it was good but not great

Loved Joe and Katya ! Brilliant

Dissapointing from Joe, expected better tbh.

But you see, I don't see her as capable and confident. She's definitely capable, yet pretends to be shocked at others telling her she's capable. If she was capable and confident (which she no doubt is) then she would accept the compliments with a confidence rather than pretending to not expect them.

I don't think skin colour has anything to do with it.

Maybe not but I'd be voting on the dancing not some imagined complicated narrative in your head as to what she is really thinking! Methinks the Alex haters are looking for "acceptable" reasons to explain their dislike.

Who hates her here ? No one has mentioned any such emotion

Joe and Katya's showdance my least favourite so far. The music was way too fast or something.

I loved Joe's show dance. Loved the idea of it. That dress was so cool!

Feel perfectly free to cast your vote based on the dancing - but don't start snapping at those who can't warm to her because of her personality.

Agree to disagree and all of that.

What first attracted professional dance teacher of ballet, to dance a ballet in the Strictly final?

I've disliked her since before Strictly. And I have an acceptable reason to not like her. In my opinion she comes across as insincere. She's not someone I've warmed to. I actually liked her on X Factor. But I haven't liked her on anything since then!

There's a thread in after hours about people you inexplicably can't stand. I inexplicably can't stand Tamzin Outhwaite (I can't think of any "acceptable" reason to not like her. And I'm not looking for an "acceptable" reason to not like her - I just don't!!)

Only one 40 handed out so far. Last year they were being handed out for fun...

Changing costumes and hairstyles in a relatively short space of time must be fairly hard work.

I never liked Alendras jive , just not light enough

Haters? :pac: no need to bring some weird racism narrative into it.

I like Tamzin - but I certainly wouldn't have a go at you for not liking her, regardless whether or not you have an "acceptable" reason.

And I certainly wouldn't snap at anyone who likes, ahem, Piers Morgan.

It's only her second 40 tonight. And no-one else has had one yet.

Managed to vote online !! All 6 for Joe and Katya

Fab dance from Alexandra!

Fair enough. She *is* a bit of an acquired taste, as is Claudia.

Big Bag of Chips

I don't hate her.. but she's another one I can't warm to!!
It obvious that she can only work off autocue. She can't do natural ad-lib at all

runnerholic

Debbies AT no way worth a 40

Call me Al

Just watched Alexander's jive. Incredible. I hope she wins. I know I have trumpeted Joe in the past but she's technically superior to anyone else on there.

ISTR that Denise van Outen and Lisa Snowdon were also brilliant dancers that the public had a hard time warming to, yet they still made the final.

Lisa, of course, lost to Tom Chambers in controversial circumstances...
