Strictly Results Show Week 8 - 21st November 2010
Last night our remaining eight couples lit up Blackpool's Tower Ballroom by performing either a Samba or an American Smooth. Matt and Aliona impressed the judges with their sensational Samba, while Ann and Anton's fell short leaving them at the bottom of the scoreboard.
Tonight we learn who the seventh couple leaving the contest will be. Have your favourites done enough to secure themselves a spot in next week's show?
We also have a musical number from Welsh singing superstar Duffy, a truly mesmerising performance from the Cirque du Soleil and our Pro Dancers take to the floor with a high energy group Samba.
Have your say on all of tonight's action by leaving a comment below.

Hi everyone
I am sure that Duffy will be good value for money, just got in TV on and please not too much talk about scoff as I have not had my tea yet.
I would lay money as to whom is not leaving tonight and we cannot even send her on a Bush Tucker Trial.
Keeeep Dancing!!!

She also thinks she is going to be in the final, Anton has already choreographed their showdance routine. I read that little gem in a glossy rag.
Pride comes before a fall though and I think that once the really good dancers start going public opinion will turn against her. And she won't be in the final as she likes to think.

I've got some Milk Tray and Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Belgian chocs to share - 'cos I've been a good girl ;-)
What was Len on last night, he got on my nerves. I think he was just trying to shake things up.
Felicity's best dance - I agree with that, thought she danced well. All danced well except the usual suspects. Apart from Craig I don't know where the judges were looking when Gavin danced, some parts were quite good but in other parts he just walked the steps he didn't dance them :-/
