Thanks for watching along with me, glitterball gang. Our 12 remaining pro-celebrity pairings – assuming is fit to dance – now progress to a non-themed show, aiming to make it through to the annual Halloween spooktacular in a fortnight's time. Bwa-ha-ha-ha. Etc.

The fifth live show airs at next Saturday at the slightly later time of 6.30pm on BBC1. Meet you back here to rate the frocks and footwork. In the meantime, partly due to muscle memory in my typing fingers: keeeeeeep dancing!

Finally, says: "I really enjoyed watching Jaime and Carlos last night. I didn't like him much when he joined the show. He seemed determined to upstage his celeb back then but I guess he was probably just trying to prove he'd earned his place or maybe he was just nervous. Either way, I'm glad I was wrong about him. He and Jaime make a great pair, and they were excellent last night. Mesmerising. Jaime, Tabby-Raye and, say, Cach would make a great final."

I'd bung in the reckoning for that, fihema, if she can conquer her nerves and go on a journeyTM. And , if her ribs recover. or as outside bets?

says: "I'm just a bit younger than Shaun's mum, am of Jamaican heritage and made mac and cheese alongside my roast dinner today. Can I be Shaun's auntie and get comp tickets, pretty please?"

Yes, Yoda, you can. (I think I have that power? Will check.)

says: "Bethany in the dance-off? We ride at dawn."

adds: "Phew! SO relieved that Bethany is through for another week. I'm sorry to lose Dame Sarah but I want to see Bethany go far in this. It's so good to have such an enjoyable all-girl partnership."

says: "Leopardskin monk in drag is a shocking look to go out on. Up there with The Moustache last week."

says: "Unless Bethany gets thrown off her dragon, it's curtains for Sarah. Shame but she was the weakest hoofer this week."

says: "Dame Sarah always seemed to be holding back and not embracing the dance. I kept hoping for a breakthrough but it didn't come. Shame, really."

adds: "Feel sorry for Dame Sarah Storey. That is the worst Shania outfit ever and visuals do affect votes, I think."

says: "Ooooh lovely! What fantastic Madonnas! Loved that. Well done pros, music, corry and costume/make up."

1991fab agrees: "I loved that Madonna pro routine! Michael, it was new pro Alexandra that was last on the podium there, not Maddie. One of the best commercial routines on SCD!"

Like a man in an orthopaedic shoe, I stand corrected. Thank you, 1991fab.

says: "Apparently tonight's results show has been thrown into chaos after it emerged that all the scores that Anton and Craig had handed out while dressed as Oasis had doubled overnight owing to 'Dynamic Judging'."

says: "Shirley and Emma seem to be wearing the same dress, just in different fabrics. Shirley wins. I like those huge sequins. I felt sorry for her spending two hours, probably longer, in that absurd costume yesterday."

adds: "I misheard Emma and thought she was introducing Bez to do the Dolly Parton tribute. C & W maracas FTW."

A swift straw poll of your Icons Week comments. says "Well, I haven't a clue what two of those songs are for next week. Very rude not to actually tell us!"

says: "I caught a bit of It Takes Two, the other day with Ellie and Anton. I'm almost embarrassed to say I enjoyed it. Ellie is very good in her new role, and is a pro at leaving space for the interviewees to speak. I'm not completely sure what it is that she does that's different from the previous presenters, but perhaps it's simply a genuine interest in the guests on her sofa and a slightly calmer energy."

will be the celebrity breathing the biggest sigh of relief tonight. Her wobbly Mariah Carey rumba saw her slip into the bottom two on the scoreboard. She was rescued from the dance-off by viewer votes but needs to climb the table next time to avoid becoming mired in danger.

The big improvements made by many of the male celebs – the likes of , and - left women occupying the bottom three spots on the leaderboard and looking vulnerable.

So it proved with the first all-female dance-off of the series so far. I suspect several of the men will slip back down next week, though.

Charismatic Sydney-born pro has become a firm fan favourite in just two series on Strictly. In his debut year, he was paired with EastEnders actor Balvinder Sopal. They broke the record for competing in the most dance-offs in Strictly history, surviving five – and were eliminated after their sixth in the semi-final. The fact that Julian helped Balvinder get that far without losing her confidence was testament to both of them.

Julian seemed to form an equally strong partnership with and he's clearly a kind, supportive teacher. Unfortunately she didn't have the hoofing ability to match. Her average score was 10 points below Balvinder's. Few could claim she didn't deserve to go home but Julian's warm smile and ready wit will be missed.

It was a shocker to almost rival 's surprise appearance in the dance-off a fortnight ago. House Of The Dragon actor is a multi-talented performer who had lit up the contest and had the sixth best average score in the field.

However, a score of 27 left her third from bottom, jut below the pack of mid-ranking couples. She failed to secure enough views votes and slipped down into the dance-off. Bethany was never likely to lose to, having scored six points more on Saturday night, but it was still sad to see her in that position.

She and are a loveable, high-energy duo and probably the best all-female pairing that the show has ever seen. I'd like them to make it to Blackpool at the bare minimum. Bethany's scores have plateaued around the 26 and 27-point mark. while others have climbed. Let's hope she can make a leap forward soon.

With 19 gold medals, is Britain's most successful ever Paralympian. Yet sportspeople have often failed to translate their winning habits onto the dancefloor. So it proved with the first Dame to sign up for Strictly. She swims, she cycles but sadly, she wasn't much of a mover.

Sarah was hard-grafting and highly likeable but the 48-year-old often looked out of her depth. She struggled with the performance side of dance, appearing nervous and tentative with poor posture. Her average score of 20 was the lowest left in the field. Going for glitterball gold proved a challenge too far.

During her four weeks in the contest, she delivered a creaky quickstep, a stiff tango and a loose paso doble, after which she was reprimanded by the judges for visibly counting aloud to keep time. Easily her highlight was her Mary Poppins Charleston in Movie Week, which saw Sarah let loose and inhabit the character. Sadly she couldn't do the same as Shania Twain in Icons Week, ending up bottom of the leaderboard, four points below anyone else. The minute she was consigned to the dance-off, she was doomed.

It's a shame she was packed off home in that ropy leopardskin costume, which made her look less like the country-pop diva and more like Bianca Jackson down Walford market. That don't impress me much, Rickeeeee. There was also a touch of Angela Rayner in the wig. Order, order, order me a taxi home.
