   Greetings, everyone - not long 'til the whole thing's over!

Me and the wife are sat with chicken and vegetable soup as the show comes on - we both have nasty colds and I was seriously considering abandoning the show for a nap, but the wife didn't want to watch it on her own so I eventually gave in. 

Here come Daly and Winklepicker - the vacuous pair - and the four stooges, a.k.a the judges - oh hurry up and get the first couple on! They soon enough do, and it's Kellie & Kevin:-

I thought their dance at Blackpool was stunning - let's hope they do well with the Salsa! What the hell? Why are there text messages up on the screen - is this an attempt to appear 'cool' and 'trendy' to the youngsters? I thought the dance itself was very, very good - and judges seem to agree - if only they wouldn't nitpick over the lifts! Oh shut up, Winklepicker - am I the only one that can't stand her joking around when saying the 'voting lines aren't open yet' after the scores? Get it over with!

Katie & Anton:-

The Argentine tango, one of my favourite dances - it better be done well! No doubt it'll be badly choreographed and badly danced! Actually, no, the music is brilliant and I liked the choreography and the dancing - hells bells! Why is Revil-Horrid spouting a beard - is he doing panto? 

Helen & Aljaz:-

I thought it was exquisite - lovely music, lovely choreography and she also danced it very well - and for once, the judges agree with me - hooray, three tens! I must be going soft - three positive 'couple overviews' in a row - and you'd think I'd be even grumpier with my cold! 

Jay & Aliona:-

As dull as I find him, I did enjoy his dance last week - maybe there'll be four dances I really enjoy in a row - it seems not, there was far too much faffing around from the pair of them - surprise, surprise, it's getting gushed over! He's very, very boring, have I ever said that before? Out of this year's lackluster line-up of 'stars', only that idiot boxer and Iwan Thomas contest him in terms of dullness! 

Peter & Janette:-

With all the stir this week of 'Jamelia woz robbed', I still haven't decided which one I dislike more - Screeching Jamelia or 'Humble' Andre! Can't they have sent them both home? Anyway, onto the dance - which was cheesy to the brim - the judges are gushing less than I expected, clearly being careful after last week's 'fix' allegations. 

Anita & Gleb:-

Over at the pink palace this pair seem to have an army wailing if they don't get universal praise - I dared to say their dance last week didn't have enough content and was attacked by several of the group - that's why I don't post much there these days! The dance seemed like a load of wafting about and are those lifts allowed? No doubt it'll get passed over - ooh - Old Pa Goodman mentions the lack of content and lift - it's a rarity! 

Yay, the final couple - and it's Georgia & Giovanni:-

My current favourites along with Kellie & Kevin - saving the best 'til last! It wasn't very good music for a Paso - but it was energetic and dynamic - good performance, but the relatively low scores worry me - I hope they're heading for the chop!  

Hooray, the show's over - wait a minute, what is this? Drat, I forgot - they're doing an 'a-thon!' And it's a Quickstep one - are they trying to get a couple into casualty? 

Oh, get on with it - finally, they're on and from my amateur eye, Helen was the best while Peter seemed to struggle - and indeed, they come last. Kellie, sixth? I thought they were at least second or third! Maybe I was wrong - the dancers on here will have to tell me!

Finally, the show is over - I know the blog wasn't very funny this week, but I'm wrapped with the wife under a blanket, tablet on lap (to write a rough copy of the blog as I watch, then put in smilies and other stuff after the show) and sneezing every few minutes - I'm not really in the 'Strictly' mood!

I'll be back later to see who's got booted out - it better not be one of my favourites!
