I have been a fan of the show since the first series - it's brilliant. I have a dilemma, i need to revise for an exam next week, but the show is too addictive!
tracey
i love the show think it is brilliant, i would like a male celeb to win this time i would like to see james and camilla in the final and darren and lillia to win
k
i think this this is a really good programme, i watch it every saturday, i think the judges should do a dance, and the best one, gets to dance with Tess Dailey! or Brucey!! great programme, waiting for the christmas special.
Shaun
I have watched all three series of Strictly and I have to write to say I hope and wish 'Karen & Bill' return for a reprise on the last show this series and dance solo for one last time. They are brilliant!
Awen
SCD has inspired me so much and since the first series ive taken up ballroom and latin dancing.I am now competing in many competitions as i found im quite good at it!!I have so much admiration for the celebs,especially people like bill and fiona. the coreography is also so special and the choice of song is also perfect. I think all of them should win-they're all so good and put in so much effort.
Pauline
I LOVE The show, best ever. I can't decide who I want to win as standard so good. Torn between Darren & James although I thought Bill was so brave & funny & Karen was brill with him. Every week I'm so disapponted to see the dancers go.
Ebbi from Gravesend
I want Darren or James to win. They are both fab. Excellent work from Lilia and Camilla for all their hard work. I would give them a 10 for their effort and co-operation
SN
Zoe and Ian's previous 10's have been disputable but for the Tango they performed last week they deserved a minimum of 3 10's. Their hold had improved and the way Zoe danced through that beautifull but very difficult routine was amazing.
Fiona Penswick
My favourite celebrity so far has to be Jill, her talent was amazing. I also love Zoe and Denise Lewis. Darren is good, but the males just don't quite cut the mustard for me as much.
Lizzy
Camilla's choreography is definately the most original and creative on the show, and her and James should be praised for it more.
JAMES&CAMILLA TO WIN xxx
Dragonfly
I absolutely love the show!!!!!!!!!! It is soooooo good that it made me do dance classes. All the proffessional dancers are great and have made the celebrities look fantastic! I hope DARREN and LILIA get to the final but I think ZOE and IAN should win!!!!!!!
Victoria
im 12 and ive been hooked on scd since its started - but this series has been the best - bills wee tribute to karen was so sweet i cried
Jenny -York
Gosh,this series is the best ever, no clear winner yet although our vote is with Darren.Will be sad after Christmas when there is no reason to stay in 6 nights a week!!!Just love It Takes Two.
Emma
i love the show and all the dancers obviously enjoy what they do a great deal. The celebs all seem very upset when they get voted off despite the stress they go through!Will thorpe was actually a past pupil at our school so it was great to see him and he comes and visits us all the time now!
eby
im so addicted to the show,all the dancers are fab...but love colin and erin to win.they get my vote every week.welldone judges,good work u are doing.
Suzanne
I would love to see Colin and Dinese Lewis dance. Maybe for the Xmas Special. Colin and Erin to win
gk&gk&rk- Barnsley
Go Darren n Lilia. Barnsley rules! cool guy, great dancer. Can't wait to see u dance on sat. highlight of our week. claudia your show is fab too we watch it every night. Love your dancing with Len the man! Keep on grooving ******
clair jones
hello,im clair.i am 15 years old.i am a dancer and i have recently just took an exam on latin american dancing. i watch the show every week.i listen to all the comments that the judges say and i use it to help me to improve my skills on the dances that i have learnt all ready.
steve b robinson
what a great show and i so look forward to watching claudia each weekday evening...........she does it for me !!!! Bill should still be there as Patsy only goes through the motions, but undoubtedly she will be out this week. Lovely girl, but cant dance. Zoe to win despite Colin being a better dancer. Keep the show going for ever !!!
Becksy
I love this show. I was so annoyed when I missed it last Saturday. I really want a video of it! If you can please! I really love Zoe and Ian; you are fantastic and I admire you style. One day I want to be remotely famous so that I might be able to go on the show and dance with Ian maybe!!! ;) Everyone in the show is so good now - you are really inspirational all of you. So keep it up and I hope that the best will win! :)
Eleanor
I miss Bill and Karen so much and i loved Karen's choreography. it was fab. They should still be in the competition, also Lilia is a great professional and everone loves Anton!
Anne
Lesly Garret stated that evry woman in the planet should spend an hour with Anton Dubek does that mean i can spend an hour with him (maybe he could be wearing his tight purple pants).
Chantelle
Zoe and Ian to win, they are both fantastic together and I get butterflies just waiting to get judges comments, come on Zoe and Ian!
Louise
Most fantastic show. I'm completely hooked. Cried when Bill & Karen left, but Colin & Eric are now myfavourites to win. They are out of this world. Don't know what I'll do when it finishes....
Ali
i absoulty love watching strictly come dancing.Its the best programme of the week! Ilove dancing myself and want to be a professional when im older!Thank-you to all the people who make strictly come dancing enjoyable!!!
xxxxx(aged 12)
ali
i love ballroom and latin and i love SCD its great. Its making ballroom popular again which i think is absolutely great. i love ballroom and i think its wonderful that others can enjoy it too!
becky
oh my god i am in love with james, whats going on surely hes old enough to be my young father! i don't know what it is but i fancy the pants off him, oh and claudia's show is almost better than the saturday night one she makes me laugh so so much!
Luke Westcombe
I am disgusted that Colin didn't get at least 4 nines for his foxtrot and Darren got more than him, because they are not in the same league at all! Colin is only just below Zoe if not the same and her dance looked so good mostly because of Ian's fabulous choreography!
Delia, Cornwall
It would be just great to see the judges do a routine, and have Bruce as head judge and some of the celebs as his henchmen!!!
Fantastic show, cant wait for the Christmas special.
Hayley
i have to admit i fell in love with Bill when he joined SCD and i love him even more since he has left even i though i miss him still. Darren & Lilia to win or get to the final
Debbie
Love the show highlight of this cold winter!! Gutted that Bill and Karen left they were so lovely and Karens smile could light up London!!!!
Alicia
Fab show - highlight of my Sat. nights. Go Darren fantastic mover, Go Colin fab moves & body definately keep voting to get you two into the final. Good Luck BOYS keep enjoying & smiling. Well done to Lilia and Erin. Thanks for the sheer enjoyment & pleasure it brings to my Saturday night tv.
Minnie
Fabulous show! It's the highlight of the week. Loved Bill and Karen they were great competitors. I hope Karen is invited back next year. Wish people would stop talking like Zoe winning is a forgone conclusion - it's Erin and Colin for me they are fabulous.
caz
i love zoe and ian but camillas tango was fab too and she deserves a mention for it!!!
kikilola
Come on Barnsley lad, south yorks behind thee alt'way!
Sid
I love the show and would love to see one of the men win, particularly Darren. The standard this time has been remarkably high but I do not understand why Zoe and Ian are being awarded 10 points when you can drive a bus between them which is completely against the normal rule of Ballroom Dancing. Long may the series continue its great viewing.
Leah
Zoe and Ian should win without a doubt! they are so passionate and you can see in their dancing that they love it. i don't think there's really any contest, even if Colin and Erin get to the final i don't think they'll match them!
Sadya
Darren & Lillia to win. They are fab...
I wish I could be Lillia in another life !
ianwaitesgirlxx
as much as i love zoe and ian i think that colin and erin deserve to win this year as WE NEED A MALE WINNER!!!!!!colins got the moves and the posture he must win!keep voting people a miracle shall happen(hopefully) x x x
Gaynor
Fab show.Have watched every series but this is the best one. zoe and Ian are great but Darren & Lilia deserve to win for all the effort they have made. James and Camilla's waltz was excellent last week - can't wiat for Sat night.
latinbabe
I love colin and erin. when i watch them dance it is like being in heaven. I just dont understand why they haven't got a ten yet!! i am not saying i don't like zoe and ian but how do they keep getting tens when there is that horrible gap in between them when they are dancing. Colin and Erin are definately my favourites no gaps and perfect every week!!
Stephanie
I wish Ian and Zoe all the best of luck, you are both fabulous! I know you can win it, just go for it! GOOD LUCK XXXX
Margaret
How is the training going for Fiona now that Len is showing her the moves? Will Len be dancing with her on one of the shows? I would love to see it.
Sharon
All the couples this year have been really good especilly the men. I would like to see a male winner this year and it should be Colin or Darren they have to lead the ladies don't. Cant wait for Saturdays its the high light of the week. Would like to see the Judges take and train a celebrity in a week.
Charlotte
I love Colin and Erin!! Colin should win he is so good i loved it when he did the split jump, it was great. I also like Patsy and Anton as Patsy cracks me up!!!! I think Patsy and Anton should be in the final but Colin should win as he is the best dancer there.
Natalie
Patsy and Anton should be in the final but Colin and Erin should win. But I LOVE Patsy and Anton- they're utterly hilarious!
Amy
Colin and Erin to win, he is amazing one of the best male celebs ever. No-one deserves to win more than Erin because she is amazing, I love her!!
gk
i love colin and erin, i hope they win and i do hope that viewer would vote according to the celebrity performance not because of thier popularality. good luck colin!!!!!!!
les
Darren and Lillia for me ,He as amazed me how good he is ,being a cricketer,also he's a local lad and I support him.
adidasje
I'm from the Netherlands and I've become a great fan of the show (I'm addicted!). I love Darren & Lilia though I think all the couples are *amazing*! I can't wait for the American Smooth, it looked absolutley stunning last Saturday! =)
Emma
I really want darren and lilia to win. He is so funny and good looking and is enjoying it so much.
Zoey
Hi Tess, Bruce and all how are you all a good luck to Zoe and Ian i think you are absolutley brilliant and a good luck to Darran and Lilia and James and Camilla, because i think you two have both e mproved very well and have turned in to great dancers Good Luck.
Love Zoey
KT
I want Patsy and Anotn to win!!! I love Anton and he can foxtrot his way to my door any day!! Marry me Anton!!!
Emma Barber
im so sorry to see bill and karen go because they were one of my favourites also they were really funny.i dont really know who i would like to win becuase its really difficult to choose.
i love watching this show and would love to come watch it sometime but i do dancing on a saturday 10am-2pm (i have some small breaks inbetween). everyone at my dancing watches it and would love to come and watch. (age 11)
Eleanor, Brighton
Addicted, addicted, addicted! I rush home to watch Take2 every day and think Claudia is so funny! I love everyone, but am most fond of Colin and Erin who are just full of elegance and style... fingers crossed!
Mel T
Darren and Lilia are fantastic - they look like they are having a blast (and Darren's hot so I bet Lilia looks forward to practice each day!!!) Not sure about the pink shoes on 'it take two' the other day though Darren!!!!
Mary S
Abolutely love the show. Terrific Saturday night viewing. How about a special showing what the judges really do!! Please
Rach
I think colin and erin should win they hav so much determintation and he is an excellent dancer!
Lauren
i fink that Colin and Erin should win! they get my vote every week and i hope they will atleast b in da final! they r da bez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
La Rhumba
In praise of Bruno Tonioli!
I adore Bruno! He's my favourite judge. He always finds something positive to say, even whilst offering technical criticism. I love his flowery descriptions! My fave was the one for Gloria's Rhumba:
"It was very regal, like you were talking to your subjects, "Hello, how are you? And you, and you?" whilst waving his hands!
My fave ITT moment was when Julian Clary commented on Bruno's leather trousers, and asked: "Are you going out tonight?" And Bruno stood up and wagged his hips, with his hand on his waist, saying, "I've got the full package!"
That was hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also I admire how he joins in with the camp humour and laughs at Bruce's jokes - even the unfunny ones - whereas Craig, who is so obviously camp, pretends to be butch!?
Penny
This is the best, most glamorous programme ever. May the best couple win. I'd like it to be Patsy and Anton. Make sure there's a series next year !
Laura
Im soo gutted Bill and Karen have gone, they have been one of the best partnerships after Natasha and Brendan! Karen was so brave and inspiring, and Bill was just so kind and caring!
Chris
All the dancers are great, professionals and celebrities, but Anton is special - he has such wicked look and he is the best dancer of them all. Would like to see him and Patsy win but, although she is a great personality nd tries so hard,sadly I don't think it will happen. Love James too, he has done marvellous.
ashgirl
Craig Revel Horwood, so you think Darren's hands look like paddles on the end of his arm. Women up and down the country would like to paddle with him any time. Darrenand Lilia to win.
susan
I think it should be three male celebs in the final. Erin, Camilla and Lillia would be deserving winners. When you vote just consider how hard it is for the male celebs to lead a professional lady.
Mike Simpson
If everyone is voting during the week then the audience vote cannot be anything about how the dances go on the final day!
salsa babe
James and Camilla's waltz was lovely. They make make such a fantasic couple (lucky old Camilla). Can't wait to see their lift in the american smooth on saturday (just like dirty dancing)
Anne Davies
How I agree with Lesley Garrett. Every woman should have a dance with Anton. I was lucky enough in the Summer to win my dream of doing a Fred and Ginger number and Anton was my partner. It was the most wonderful experience. Truly a dream come true. Anton is such fun and put me at my ease. I would really like to enter the ITT comp. but to be fair some one else should have the same experience.
Cammie
I love the show sooo much that i'm going to start ballroom and latin american dances in January!!! I can't wait to start them!! I think that all the couples are great this year and i really would like to see Ian and Zoe win it!! Vote for Ian and Zoe (I know I am)
Lauren
James and Camilla i think your absolutly fantastic. your Waltz was amazing it deserved a 10 from all 4 judges and how Craig could give you a 7 i dont know. Your 100% the best couple on the show and you both deserve to win the competition. you both look fantastic together and i have to ask Are the rumors true? i think you make great couple and if the rumors are true i wish you all the happieness in the world! your both fantastic and i'm voting for you both every week.
Keira
Good luck, Zoe and Ian. I hope they knock them dead again on Saturday. Their tango was awesome and they thoroughly deserved those 10s.
Hannah
I really want Darren or james to win, a man needs to win this year, i think its much harder for a man to to be lead by a women, well done pro dancers doing a fab job. Tess looks brilliant every week!!the whole show is a breath of fresh air!x
Tinkerbell22
I absolutely love this show both on a saturday and It Takes Two during the week.
I think it is really close this year but Colin and Erin get my vote. He is a fantastic dancer.
COLIN AND ERIN TO WIN!
Jackster
James & Camilla in the FINAL I say. Improving every week in spades and should come close to perfection this Saturday with the American Smooth.
And who knows with Camilla's creative choreography they might strike the '10' chord with Lenny boy...
Roisin Butters
I love the pictures!!!
They always brighten my day, when they are updated!!!
Thanks
Natasha AKA "Tashster"
3 Words: Anton, Anton and Anton!. The man is not only a Gentleman but a Diamond, Here's a crazy idea: Strictly Come Dancing does James Bond and Anton naturally is the lead! ^_^ Strictly Come Dancing is amazing, I've been hooked from the beginning, It's like an addiction. =)
amanda
the whole show is fab, so entertaining. a must for the whole family to watch, and Tess and Bruce are a fab partnership. Brill Saturday night viewing, we love it.
molly and ellie
Darren and Lilia are gunna win. They deserve a ten and its time a male won!
Clo
i'd just like to say that i think the show is FABULOUS and Bill and Karen were inspiring - very bad luck that they went, good luck everyone Sat will be amazing!!!!! XxXx
Hayleybell
The Saturday show is great, but Mon to Fri, my day revolves around ITT at 6.30. Claudia, we think it and you say it. Anton and Patsy to win just because they are the sweetest and funniest couple ever. I haven't phone voted since Will Young, but I voted P&A many times on Saturday. Keep them in folks.
Ballerinababe x
Darren and Lilia to win! They are so amazing- darren gets better every week and lilia always choreographs such amazing routines! Lilia's the best professional on the show! Well, and darren b! aaaaaw i love it when they dance together! GO DARREN AND LILIA! I'll be voting! xXx
G.O
I am so addicted to this show - ever since it first started. James and Camilla are my favourites, but I think the rest are good too, and what a shame that Bill Turnbull went out last week - my little sister so shocked she nearly cried!
bewest
Just to say that the professional dancers exhibition dances are a wonderful addition to the programme this year. The demo of the american smooth last saturday was wonderful!
Pat Powell
This programme puts a smile on my face and has brightened up my Saturday evenings. It is worth paying the license fee just to see these super people on the box!! The standard is so high this series, they are all 'winners' in my view.
Chris Telford
I love strictly, it is a great show as is it takes two. Bruce, Tess and Claudia are very good presenters. I think Darren and Colin are excellent and would love to see one of them win, especially Darren and Lilia
Ally
I think strictly come dancing is the best show on at the moment.The BBC was right to revive the magic of dancing on tv. I think darren has improved the most but zoe was always the best!!And im just in love with Anton!!!!
Natalie
Patsy and Anton are hilarious on the show and if they went the programme would lose its charm for me- but Colin and Erin are the best and they should win!!
JO 2421!!!
Im a nurse and i cant work a late shift on a sat as i MUST watch DARREN, Hes the best and very SEXY aswell,I wear a picture of him on my uniform to get people to VOTE DARREN N LILLA.
Suzie
Ian is so fit, wish I was his partner!!! Zoe and Ian are definitely going to win!!! They're the most elegant and can dance the best out of the lot!
Ballerina girl
omg. ur show rox. i watch it every week and i admired Bill Turnble's persistance to please the judges. I cried when he went out. Darren and Lilia i hope u win xxx
mo
why not chalange the judges to dance with the professionals as a xmas special
verity
i really want Darren and lilia to win the whole compation!!!! And in the next series i think that you Claudia should have a go at dancing and being a contender and let the winners of this series present it!!!!!!!

Roisin Butters
Strictly Come Dancing is the best TV show ever!!!
It is an inspiration and a brilliant promoter of ballroom dance!!!
It is brilliant to see dancing on TV!!!
I hope SCD carrys on for a long time!!!
It rules!!!
Chaz
Darren and Lilia are the best they just have 2 win. I'm going to see darren b and lilia at the winter gardens in cleethorpes on monday night and i just can't wait. I'm 13 and i do ballroom and latin dancing and lilia is my idol! I really hope i get 2 meet her!!
Tina
I live in The Netherlands and is a fan of Strictly Come Dancing, but I must say that I deeply feel the sometimes the judges are unfair when it comes to Zoe and Ian.
Bobby Dazzler
Just a comment on the backing music which is often taken for granted. The Hot Chocolate number that James & Camilla danced to last week was beautifully sung and added to the atmosphere of the dance. Please credit the singer - if he were to release his version I would be first in the queue to buy it.
Mary M
It is harder for the Male Caleb I love James and but I can see that Darren or Colin are better. Darren deserves to win for all the effort and what he has put into it for a big man. The female pros have a harder time. Ian makes Zoe look better then she is and she did not deserve a 10 not with mistakes. She looks good but does not deserve to win the competition. The judges are blinkered when it comes to Zoe. Sorry Patsy but you should go this week you are the weakest there now.
Soph!!!
I LUV DARREN N LILIA!!! them 2 win!! but i also luv lilia n husband darren 2 i fink der da best dancers eva! xxx
Ballerina girl
I lurv the show, and i hope that Darren and Lilia win. Good luck.xxx

Natt69

John Davies
Brilliant! Can we see the singers interviewed on Claudia's IT TAKES TWO. The singers do so much but we only see them briefly.
Ballerina girl
I lurv the show, and i hope that Darren and Lilia win. Good luck.xxx
gabby

I cant actually go one saturday without missing it, but if i do-for some strange reason- i'll text EVERONE i no, just to get the lodown!
anyway, its great and i love all the couples!
keep dancing!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ivy
I thought that James and Camilla were really great on Saturday - should have got higher marks. Saw James at the NEC on Sunday - gorgeous and looks a lot slimmer in the flesh! Lucky Camilla
Lauren24
I think Patsy and Anton should win I love them!!! I also love Craig, he's fantastic!!!!
Emma
I would love Darren and Lilia to win - firstly they can actually dance but they also bring a lot of entertainment to the show, the giggle twins!
Claire
I think Darren and Lilia are amazing! He loves dancing, and you can tell he really enjoys it! Lilia's a brilliant dancer too, her choreography in the foxtrot was amazing! Good luck, hope you win!
Bex
Colin and Erin to win without a doubt he is the best male celeb the programme has ever seen and no one deserves to win more than erin
Angela and Nicole Booth.
i love this show and is about the only decent thing on. We really want Colin and Erin to win. I would like to be on it one day (soon.)
Babe4eva
I think that all the dancers are fantastic, and I think that Darren and Lilia should win because they have improved the mostover the show. Loved Patsy's tango!
Louise
The best show in the world. Claudia's got good posture in Len's Masterclass. Love the partners. Zoe and Ian are the best though.
Lauren
Darren and Lilia all the way!
chloe
colin and erin are fantastic good luck your my favourite couple
Mitchie
I love Lillia, but sorry, I know he must be technically great, but Darren just doesn't do it for me. Zoe's fantastic and Anton is the best dancer ever, he is a gift from the Gods. Dance wise - more Paso please, there hasn't been enough in any of the 3 series. Also love quick step, salsa - we never dance like that in our salsa class - and argentine tango.
Love the pictures to download - my screen saver at work impresses everyone.
Colin & Erin to win!!!
Audrey
I would like Zoe and Ian to win, they are brill together. Go for it girl
katie1808
I think Darren and Lilia are total Fab and roting for them to win GO DARREN GO GO GO !!!!!!!!
Lizzy
James' waltz was amazing on saturday, i really hope him and Camilla win! Good luck with the samba James & looking forward to seeing this lift in the amrican smooth ;) keep dancin xxx
Sarah
Zoe and Ian have been absolutely fantastic. Here's hoping they win this year!
JJ
I think the Jive is the best dance ever! Ilove it!!
COLIN AND ERIN TO WIN!!!
kate 1808
I agree it would be great to see Tess and Claudia partnering two of the male professional dancers like Darren or Anton to show off their dancing skills on the final show of the series. Darren and Lilia to win they are Fab
d.v.
what a great program, i hope it carries on, the professionals are fantastic they deserve tremendous credit
Christine Smith
I used to be a student teacher of ballroom dancing but had to give it udue to arthritis. The show has given me such great pleasure. I would like Anton and Patsy to win but think they arre all great!
Em
The American Smooth looks ace! I'm really looking forward to seeing how creative the professionals will be with the routines, most especially Lilia, whose a total genius choreographer.
sue applin
i have really enjoyed watching it right from the being james and camilla are my favourite well done bruce and tess have a lovely xmas all
Francisco Lopez
I am Zoe's no.1 fan! I can't believe she said in one of the early shows that she never looks like a lady. She's the most stunning lady on the show! I still remember her rumba to 'One moment in time', she was amazing
Jahwalk
As Claudia and Tess are so prominent on the show's - can we get to see the two of them dance off for the final episodes of the series?
