Strictly Results Show Week 4 - 24th October 2010
Last night our twelve remaining couples took to the floor and tried to impress with either a Tango or a Charleston. Your votes have been added to the judges scores and tonight we'll see who will be the third pair to leave this year's contest.
We also have a fantastic performance from American legend Neil Diamond and a couple of stunning group dances from our professionals.
If you want to have your say on any of tonight's action, log in and leave a comment below.Â

Closely followed by Gavin. Ann is still providing entertainment although I was not a fan of the harness jobby - but then I wasn't a fan of Jimi's windows either.

I know Anne is by no means brilliant at dancing but she & Anton are very funny & add a new aspect to the comp, as long as they go before any off the serious contenders get voted off I am happy for them to stay, harness & all.
Great pro dance

What's happened to the dance troupe? I thought the point of creating them was so that the pros taking part in the show didn't have their time squeezed by having to coreograph and learn lots of extra routines each week, and to give another dimension to the results show. I think this is the second week without them :o(

we think Matt & Aliona are the best and have great technique and energy. We loved their Charlston and even more when we saw their lift when Matt picked up Aliona with her legs wrapped around his hips, then she loops down and through his legs before he finally roled out.
This was exactly the same lift that my Son and his Partner did in their "Aerobic Gymnastics" routine at the World Championships in France, back in June. They represent Great Britain and they won the Junior (under 18) Silver medal.

But not together! The audience were so rude cheering for the dancers during his singing - there was no need for any dancing. If you have a huge star such as Neil there is no need for anything else.
I much prefer the old style results show when the bottom two had to dance to keep in - much fairer when the judges have the final say.

Depressed by how long it took me to recognise Glenn Miller's 'in the mood' at the start. Kept hearing holes where I was expecting the sharp brass notes. Oh well, no harm in trying something new. Unusual to hear lyrics for it, too.
VERY classy for Neil Diamond to acknowledge the dancers at the end of his number. Robbie and Peter Andre might as well have been performing on the moon, for all the interaction they demonstrated with their environments.
