Blackpool Here We Come!
What a great night. Apart from getting a cake from the judges I achieved all my goals. I delivered my best dance yet. I enjoyed myself. Smiled at least three times (!) and to mine and Flavia’s joy we were called out first again. I really thought if we were to be saved, we would be called out last. However the night held ever more drama for different reasons. Two of the favourites, to our collective surprise, were in the bottom two. But I suppose that’s what this kind of show is sometimes all about. I thought Zoe was such a good dancer and a lovely girl, so to see her and James go was very surprising and very sad.
We're Heading Home
It is now Thursday evening and apart from a very tough day at training today I have been floating around like I was on cloud nine. The pressure now is truly off. We really feel we’ve achieved something and for me personally it means the world to get to dance as a local lad in the magical tower ballroom. My dance is the chaaa chaaa chaaa and it is a fun dance, which I think suits the town of Blackpool. If I can pull it off to the best of my ability it will be my best latin dance so far. Looking forward to tomorrow where we all travel up on the coach together. Watch out for glitter and sequins on the M1.
Thanks to Flavia for getting me this far and thanks to everyone that has supported us and voted for us. We couldn’t have got to Blackpool without you.
Ciao for now. Craig.
Stumble it!

Well done on your waltz last Saturday. As you said, it was your best dance to date and you deserved to get through to Blackpool because of that. It was a shame that Zoe and James had to leave and I could understand why the judges were annoyed that they had to choose between her and Ali in the dance off, but the public must be allowed to vote in whatever way they choose, and not according to the judges’ scores, otherwise the phone vote becomes pointless and risks looking more like a money-making scheme for the BBC…
Glad you had a good birthday, too – doing an excellent dance and getting the chance to dance at Blackpool.
