So that's it then

Austin and Erin have gone from Strictly. The only person I’d really singled out for the final, so much so, that I didn’t seriously doubt that he’d get through.

I didn’t watch it live, as I arrived home halfway through, so ‘saved’ it till later. Once I watched, and saw the scores, I knew they were in trouble. I think I’d probably have picked the phone up, but it was too late. I actually shed a tear when I saw Erin crying*.

So we have two girls and one guy in the semi. I predict a Tom/Rachel final, though I’d probably prefer Tom/Lisa. I like her better, and she’s had more or a ‘journey’, but I’m guessing Brendan didn’t win many fans with his strop on Saturday. I’m also guessing that the men have been consistently getting more votes than the girls, who have only avoided the dance off if top of the leader board.

It just hasn’t had the impact of last year. Roll on January and the tour. I'm already quite excited about it!

*There are rumours that some of the dancers may leave after this series, so it might have been her last chance to win.
