Nigel's been shorne!
First up then Lizzie and Robbie with a Karen Bruce Broadway/Vaudeville number and it's inspired! I've got the biggest smile on my face - completely fabulous, timing, energy, personality, fun, slapstick - The Hot Honey Rag from Chicago - brilliant!
Charlie's solo, all Latin and funky to Conga!
Mandy and Alistair contemporary, I Will Try To Fix You, not to mention the furniture. Powerful stuff, Mandy amazing, great partnership.
Lizzie solo - excellent, Bleeding Love ... standing back fall - I love those, just never knew they were called that!
Charlie and Tommy have a hot jazz by Sean Cheeseman, energetic, performed well, didn't quite hit my spot though, did go a little out of time.
Alistair solo, lines, big drop finish but can see where Louise is coming from with the "still more to come" vibe.
Robbie and Lizzie go Hip Hop, great for Lizzie, not so Robbie but courtesy of probably my favourite choreographer this series, Simeon, he's brilliant, he'll get the best from them. Mad! Fantastic, that just sealed it for me, I loved it, both brilliant, tight, musical, completely different routine to the US one to Mad.
Tommy solo - to the South Bank Show - completely brilliant, as ever, top solo.
Mandy and Alistair, Paso Doble - I could be swayed here, love the passion and drama of the Paso - although too powerful numbers in one night, they could've done with something softer for contrast. Nigel didn't like it and it was lacking something for me too, I didn't much like the music and that always makes a difference.
Robbie's solo - he's so luvverley - love the tee-shirt, an homage to Tommy's torso, maybe? He's still holding my vote.
Charlie and Tommy Quickstep - hello Karen Hardy! So who cares about the gapping, lol. Great song, fab performance, Tommy sublime, full of personality, timing, terrific - he's just secured a vote. Full of fun and frolics, just like Mary's little lamb. Remember that little rhyme? No? Ok.
Mandy solo to Feeling Good, another solid performance, loved the wave.
But it's Lizzie for me - she just seems to have mastered a bigger range brilliantly - ballroom, disco, contemporary, broadway and her hip hop is just unbeatable. Robbie also for the mix, hip hop, ballroom, contemporary, broadway. Tommy, as Arlene said, the dance maestro - whatever they've thrown at him he's delivered.
Let the nail biting begin!
What a start to the results show - Big Spender, all sophisticated and then the trouser drop. Genius!
Girls - in danger: Mandy. Safe - Charlie, unexpected, Lizzie never in the dance off before.
Boys - in danger: Alistair. Safe - Tommy, pretty much given if you saw the #sytycd tweets! Robbie in it, second week running. Mandy, the solo queen v Lizzie of the standing back fall, she takes it for me, my head and heart say she'll make it through. Alistair so controlled, maybe that's what Louise is getting at, not quite released himself enough; Robbie, adds a hint of hip hop at the end, taking on board the earlier comments, again both head and heart say Robbie. Or is it wishful thinking?
*bites nails more*
Leona Lewis sings I Got Choo - Nigel brings them forward and makes them feel warm and fuzzy with lovely tributes: Lizzie and Robbie it is, unanimously *Phew* But how the hell will I choose next week!
