1) This show is really about the journey and it's so enjoyable to see people like Michael and Victoria improve.
2) I will despair if we continue to get comedy VTs and pointless props from next week.
3) Fern doesn't look happy at all and seems anxious about not doing enough to please Artem.
4) Is Louis going to dance near the end of the show each week? :rolleyes: He is fantastic though.
5) I like Lisa but all her three latin dances have been basically the same - Craig was right with the critique.

2. I also hate theme weeks, especially Halloween week, they go a little over the top.
3. Richard & Erin are still my favourites, I just love Richard
4. So pleased for Michael and Natalie. Michael has worked so hard and Natalie has really pushed him, great teacher and great pupil.
5. Sid has to go this week.
2. And Michael was pretty good too.
3. Really enjoyed the concept of Victoria and Brendan's Tango.
4. Quite a few candidates for the bottom two this week.
5. Nice to see Denise putting all of that 'sitting on a chair' West End experience to use. :rolleyes:
2) Up to that point, every dance was awful
3) And the music...they were really stretchin' it sometimes with the Halloween theme
4) VTs ugh they were awful too...I mean, I get why they do them, but holy crap they were bad
5) Based on tonight, Sid should go.
2. Sid needs to go
3. Love Halloween theme night. But it should be the only themed night.
4. Kimberley and Pasha my favourites
5. Bruce and Tess need to go.
2. Victoria's Tango was the closest I've been to shouting YES! at the screen since Holly's Paso, it was nowhere near as good as that, nor was it brilliant, but it was an improvement.
3. Same with Michael, the few minutes they were both at the top of the leaderboard was the highlight (although admittedly they were overmarked)
4. Really worried for Fern, it wasn't great but I love the pairing, and I think Sid, Nicky and Colin should go before them.
5.The comedy VTs weren't just painful but half-arsed, they normally horrid and cringeworthy but at least have some kind of pay off at the end of them.
2. I'm finding Fern & Artem's dancing and choreography increasingly boring. I'd like them to leave, or Richard (to put poor Erin out of her misery).
3. I'm seeing flashes of Louisa in Dani. Thought she was a touch undermarked again but hey ho.
4. My hopes for Colin & Kristina are slowly evaporating. That Salsa was a damp squib. I think they might be in danger - being mid table an' all.
5. Would like to see the running order mixed up a bit so Louis isn't always performing last (or near the end). Terrific Tango though.
2. Less shoehorned music and later themes please. Give the celebs time to grow in technique before lumbering them with a theme.
3. Michael and Victoria improved. Good for them.
4. Len needs a new pair of lenses.
5. Comedy VT overload this week. Bad.
2. I love Colin but he was overmarked, hunched shoulders, mouth working all the time and not much content.
3. Vaughny - what a surprise!!! So happy for him and Nat.
4. Victoria looked ravishing and it's nice to see her coming out of her shell.
5. Oh, poor Sid!
2. I so wanted Michaels wig to come off with that hat. He better make the most of those scores, the Rumba and Samba await him
3. Louis was good at the Tango because it was OK to use his Flavia smells face.
4. The overall standard this year is absolutely dire
5. Yes I am cheesed off with it all generally this year....The Great British Bake Off is rapidly replacing Strictly as my must watch show of the year.
2) Louis is by far and away the most talented dancer - but he needs to relax and enjoy himself
3) Sid & Ola have had the week from hell; he'll probably go, but should have a week to get over the upheaval
4) Fern should go this week, she just looks out of her depth and can't up her game, even with Artem
5) It will be a real shame if Richard goes this week - and very unfair
2. Louis fantastic. And as for always being near the end, I imagine he's not overly thrilled at all the extra pressure and waiting.
3. Leaderboard mayhem. Such fun!
4. Taxi for Sid - he really was just phoning it in.
5. Feels a bit flat in the Tess Pit so far this year.
2. I'm a fan of Bruce Forsyth but his jokes are starting to get a bit samey, he needs to tone them down a bit.
3. The VTs. Ugh! Last week they were a little cringeworthy, this week they were... I can't find the words for it. I don't think we had ANY proper training footage.
4. The best thing on the show tonight was Michael Vaughan. Excellent improvement, he really showed he can dance.
5. I thought Richard was undermarked as I think he improved a lot.
2) When Ola's in trouble she gets out the catsuit but when Artem's in trouble he gets out the chest.
3) Colin would be better if Kristina stopped swirling around him and actually let him dance.
4) Pleased for Michael. My favourite dance of the night.
5) The more the series continues the more I am warming to Louis.
2) Mcnael and Victoria. Who knew that was going to happen? :eek: They were both brilliant
3) I want to like Kimberley but arrrggghhhh, so frustrating. She's just so boring and safe and nice. I don't know if its just she's nice or if Pasha is too nice as well and he can't drag the emotion out of her. I want her to be good, I think she can be, but it's all so meh
4) Please no more themes for a while. Can we just go back to normal?
5) considering Denise spent years getting on and off a chair in the West End, she wasn't very stable. :eek: That was quite an unstable, wooden routine in general though, were her shoes too high?
That's a good point. I got into it slightly more as the show went on.
2. The show took ages to get going - no really good dances until Michael's.
3. Sid Owen has lost his mojo and looks very very unhappy.
4. I think I've seen that dance of Lisa & Robin's three times now.
5. Robin is an enormous torso balanced on two little legs and as such reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn.
2 I find Kimberley nice and her dancing nice, nice is not good enough.
3 Loius is showing more personality and that was a good dance but he he needs to perform every week.
4 Colin was not good and I will miss him if he goes.
5 Hate those comedy VT's can we go back to proper training ones
2. Victoria and Michael really improved. :eek: Good on em
3. Not fond of a) Halloween theme b) comedy VTs or c) prolonging Sid 's misery
4. Louis's eyes were freaky :eek: and it suited him :eek::eek:
5. Was there a pattern between the marking and the seven dancers who are refusing to tour unless they get better pay Not saying there was, just wondering for the sake of a good conspiracy theory
2. That was a vast improvement from Michael Vaughan. He is definitely a ballroom boy at the moment, but he should take that confidence boost to work on the latin. Good job Natalie. (probably my dance of the night actually
3. That was much better from Victoria Pendleton. I think the costume and make-up made her feel like someone other than herself and gave her confidence to perform. She needs to take that confidence to perform as herself. There is potential there.
4. I hate theme nights with a passion. The music overall was terrible which doesn't help the dancing as they are forced to fit the dance to music in the theme, rather than use something suitable. O Fortuna works as a paso doble and Michael's quickstep music was correct, but everything else was awful. Even the synthesiser drums sounded out of tune on Disturbia tonight, whilst the singing through a mouthful of helium on Witchdoctor was completely offputting. Plus I hate the costumes and industrial scale makeup :mad:.
5. I think we're in for an unexpected exit tonight.
Kimberley - ok
Denise - oy, vey!
Fern - not today
Sid - go away!
2. The first hour didn't do anything to change my mind - lots of mediocre performances and dubious props :sleep:
3. From Michael & Natalie onwards was great though - Natalie is an absolute genius as a teacher, and it was almost all a proper quickstep. Fab-u-lous!
4. Marking was all over the place again - someone please hide Darcey's 6 every other dance, tell Craig a 2 is unnecessary and tell Len to decide to mark everyone on character and technique, not one or the other :rolleyes:
5. Is week 4 the longest it's taken for the judges to give someone a 9 since about series 2?!
Michael was ok as was Victoria
Lisa - lazy footwork
Enjoyed Denise's dance but agreed with the judges comments
Judges marks were all ove the place tonight
2. I laughed at DEnise tripping
3. STFU x a zillion Brucie.
4. Well done Michael & Natalie.
5. The singers were awful tonight.
2. Saddest bit - Ola looking emotionally drained
3. Curious bit - Who is that behind the bandage?
4. Nodding off bit(s) - Someone twiddled with the band switch, turning it from 45 rpm to 33⅓ rpm
5. Miracle bit - Michael was dancing...well...and in time :eek:
