Saturday Review: Celebrity Wiff Waff, Round Four

Gethin slipped back into the bad old ways and was disqualified for scoffing all three tureens of baked beans. The TV audience didn't seem to care and saved him again; the studio audience didn't seem so keen, although the floor manager thanked him for clearing the studio so quickly, it normally takes hours to get rid of the invited celebrity guests.

Gethin being saved put Su Elise into the bottom two for the first time, even though she finished second in the table and she was joined there by Jake, whose chances were scuppered when a dog got loose and jumped on him, licking him all over. However, Jodie was soon captured and ejected from the studio so the games could resume, but Jake's concentration and poise left him and he struggled to regain his previous form, finishing bottoom of the table.

Thus it was Jake who became the fourth celebrity to lose out in the judges play off: Boris acknowledged his sterling effort but said Su-Elise was "perfection" and Nicky, whilst struggling with the length of Su-Elise's dress, finally concluded that Jake should have steered well clear of beige. Desmond had been singing "Isn't She Lovely" whenever Su-Elise played, so it was a given she'd got his vote.

With only two weeks left before the semi-final, odds are being shortened on both Gordon Ramsey and Madonna to win the contest, being the only two celebs to avoid the bottom two and shine consistently in the top half of the table, while Karen Pickering is still considered a good each way bet. However, with the audience ultimately deciding the winner, this series looks to be the most hotly contested ever.
