  6. Dave Ward and Maria Ford (Canada) – “I’m Tore Down” by Clapton
  7. Scott and Melina (Australia) – “Nothing’s Real But Love” by Rebecca Ferguson (may be the same routine they danced at the Open but if so it sure looked different to me)
  8. Peter Fradley and Michelle Fletcher (London) – “Me Without You” by Loick Essien

Nine of these couples will not go on to Finals tonight.

So we’re glad we got up at the crack of dawn to watch or we would have missed all the great new stuff.

Not happy about the crack-of-dawn thing, however. I wolfed down the breakfast buffet and had to charge back up to the room leaving behind Genieboy hoisting Annie Hirsch by her right butt cheek – he insists he had to do this in order to make sure she didn’t fall but everyone watching nearly choked on their breakfast laughing at this – hoisting her teeny little self high up into the air to perch her on the seat of a unicycle which happened to be passing by on the terrace. Driven by a young guy with half of his hair magenta.

But we now have only an hour before Jack and Jills which begin with Champions so rushing rushing …

GORGEOUS weather today, like yesterday and the day before and the day before that.
