I cant see any drama as it is usually the contestents kicking off at the judges for marking their song too low, but given no one knows what scores have been given by an individual it would be like kicking at air

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah I've preferred the rankings thing this series, credit to Kate for that idea! This has been my favourite series yet. Definitely prefer it with the celebrities. It will be returning next year with the same format, different celebs and I hope to have you all on board once again

But we have the rest of this series yet

Do you remember the Monty Python sketch, where they depicted a Townswomen's Guild re-enacting the Battle of Pearl Harbour? That's how I imagine the drama would have gone...

It would have depended which dance you got though too lol

[Strictly Jake]

I can now reveal the twist, and I'll be transparent with you the twist changed twice in the time that I initially announced it.

I brought Vanessa AKA Mcfly member Danny Jones back as a secret judge and I sent her the song list I didn't state which celebrity had sent which song. Initially I was going to tell her to choose who performed better the boybands or the girlbands. Whatever she chose they would all be safe from the vote. So it would only be the four players who had Boybands that were up for elimination or vise versa. I realised this was wayyy too harsh so I changed it to whatever she chose those players would all get four extra points added to their rankings. Again I felt this was a bit unfair. So in the end I went for quite a nice twist, whatever she preferred out of the boybands and Girlbands she could then choose one of the songs as her favourite and that player would get

The Gift of the Glitterball. This is a free pass through to next week.

I had to still do something as I did announce a twist

But I felt it was a nice twist.

So you'll find out soon who got the Gift of the Glitterball.
