Team Brulu - Lulu and Brendan Cole
Bruno thought Lulu danced the Foxtrot with all the "emotional fragility of a teenager in love..." and Alesha described her Rumba with Brendan as "elegant and romantic".

Can't wait to see what Brendan comes up with for the Halloween show - last year his performance was certainly the highlight for me and I often think of it with real delight.
So good luck guys - and I hope you won't need it!

I like all the couples in this years' programme, but if it's about dancing, there are at least two more who should have gone first.
Still, what is more important is that both Brendan and Lulu had fun, which I really hope they did. Fantastic pro dancer, fantastic celeb, and great fun all round.
Next year Brendan? :)

Which dance did Lulu get Brendan through with this year, one that he usually get voted out with, was it the Rumba or Samba???
Shame that Artem has a spine injury, I wish him a speedy recovery so he can get back dancing with Holly.....but at least I get to see Brendan dance again this Saturday, I still love him so much....cant wait till Saturday.
I so love this show,

I think you did some very clever choreography to keep her in the competition and were very gallant in defending her.
I have never been a fan of your bad boy image, but what i once thought of as delusional ranting i know consider to be a gentlemanly defence of your partner.
Totally wasted on Lulu.
She exposed her true self when she pushed you off to dance on her own. Makes you wonder if she did forget the routines or if she thought she could do better on her own

If I would were you I would insist on a decent partner next year, it is ridiculous that as the best dancer and certainly the most charismatic of all the professionals that you have had three duff partners in a row. Well done you for keeping on. But why aren't you coming to Poole this Jan? Saw you the last two years and am so disappointed.
