Strictly Come Dancing

Lovely article about Susanna in the DM Saturday magazine, she is beautiful, such a happy smiling face.
Good luck to her tonight.

Sitting here, G&T ready--don't think wine will be enough for Dutch courage for two dances tonight.
So near Christmas-- I feel everyone is out and about or partying tonight, so not many voters in to vote. Hey ho--it's been a great ride and I have to prepare myself, this could be 'over and out'...but I have phone ready

Oh big, big night - nail-biting doesn't come close!! But we're right behind Susanna! read about her punishing kifestyle in the Telegraph today and I am speechless! How, in the words of Allison Pearson - does she do it?

Here we go again.....Good Luck, Susanna!!

Don't worry, GrandmaMiney - Susanna has a huge fanbase! In one of the magazines DH subscribes to she was voted by readers to be number 5 in the 'Greatest Woman' category!

Was that you, GM? Good luck, Susanna!

Great result! I can't believe how excited I'm getting...

Oh, two tens!!! Well done, Susanna! She doesn't sound very well, either. Trouper!

Great score. Well done, Susanna!

I thought Kevanna's salsa looked so much more fun than Natalie and Artem's perfect one. Isn't that what salsa is all about? Here's to the final, Susanna! and a double G&T for GM.

for GM Great article in The Times magazine today about Susannah, what a busy life she has. I have voted for her x 3.

You are all the stars of Gransnet, for DD and for me, thank you
Another nail biting time until tomorrow. She's on antibiotics for a chest infection but is so enjoying SCD, and SO appreciates all the support for Team Kevanna, that she was determined to give it her all, and smile her way through it. Whatever Craig makes of her facial expressions, I think they boost her energy levels!
Here's some for all of you .
As she's second from bottom of the leader board I think I might need a brandy in my Horlicks tonight to help me get some sleep. Please keep fingers and toes crossed for the chance to be, I think, the oldest 'lady' in the SCD finals.

If Susannah has got the same infection as my DH she's a REAL trooper - he's hardly been able to get out of a chair, never mind dance!
I can't begin to guess who the winner will be. They are all so close and some of the choreography has been stunning.

Do they have 3 in the final, if so I would like to see Susanna, Abby and Sophie. Natalie and Artem get on my toot!Artem pins on his sickly smile and his dancing is frenetic..... but what do I know? Patrick has peaked.

I thought Sophie and Brendan's dance was stunning and she's developed so much. She was really enjoying her second dance.

I hope that Natalie isn't in the top three. I don't think she's improved on the way she danced at the beginning. The others have all done so much better.

I agree, Sophie and Abbey have both developed beautifully.
I have to admit that DD's day job and 400 mile round trips several times a week have limited her practice time, plus her age (let's hear it for 'older women'!) are all beginning to show. My fingers are crossed for her for tonight.
But they're all doing their best--and having the time of their lives and it is a joy to behold

GrandmaM I don't know how Susanna is even standing let alone dancing!
She deserves a medal for dedication and enthusiasm and all with such a happy smiling face. You must be so proud of her.

Another vote from me. I just hope that the votes from "us lot" keep Susanna out of the bottom two because she could well do without an extra dance if she is not feeling well.

I would love to see Natalie shown the door but I have a feeling that if she were in the dance off, she would win.

the 2 dances I enjoyed most were Susannas foxtrot, marvellous and such fun, and Abbys prom themed dance. I think there will be 4 couples in the final?

What a farce.

Yippee, Susannah is through. Much relief I expect for GrandmaM
Ah the power of the public!!!

Wow! Susanna must be thrilled to be in the final.

We'll done, Susanna. What a fantastic achievement, especially as she has not trained as a dancer and is that little bit older. The judges have commented a few times that she has developed the most from beginning the competition.

Just-- thank you for all the positive comments. My skin isn't that thick and I know some will say it's not fair--it's a dancing competition. But I do believe DD does deserve her place in the final--for the infectious joy of learning to dance (a bit) that she has brought to this series. I guess that's what many have voted for, and I just hope we get to see the Kevanna Paso Doble again next week.

Natalie should never have been in the dance off.
