Just gimme, gimme, gimme!
So sad to see Ricky and Erin go. He is so very humble and articulate and Erin was very honest and forthright when she stated that at first she thought they might have 2 or 3 weeks out of SCD, and it is all down to Ricky's hard work that they got to week 10.
SCD is much the poorer without them, and I have to say that Laila and Anton didn't even look particularly excited to be saved. Ricky's exit speech has to rate as the most chivalrous ever "I have met Ronnie Corbett, I have met Dame Shirley Bassey but best of all, I have met Erin Boag". His farewell VT was the most genuine I have seen as well. No flowery euphemisms, no promises of eternal friendship, just real, choked up emotion.
Loved Claudia's summary of liftgate - "It's like saving shoes for best". I am still with Len and was tickled when he got Craig to admit that the execution of the lift itself is actually rather easy. Even more tickled when Craig, despite seeing Claudia's attempts at the masterclass, offered to show her how easy!
Continuing in the sombre tone, it was goodbye to Jade and Ian. From her best bits, you could see just how much she had improved in both ballroom and latin (even her ballroom hold improved so much from her waltz to her VW). I was genuinely absolutely gutted to see them go. She had the talent, the stage performance, and the determination to get to the final, and if the producers had decided to play fair with the VTs, I think she had a shot at getting the public vote.
But oh dear ...those two final comments. Ian "At the end of the day, we know we love each other", and Jade "I started off the competition as a girl, and ended as a woman". The forums are going to be alive with the sound of hope until at least next January!
