Craig has lost the plot. Chris' dancing was untidy and it was overmarked by the other judges as well.

I really enjoyed Laila's performance. She was undermarked...as usual. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear she might be going tonight.

Absolutely, I think he was watching a completely different dance to the one I was. I loved Laila's Charlston, it was wonderful to watch.

Agreed with Craig. It really wasn't that great. She's now the weakest dancer and has to go next week.

She's a better dancer than Chris.

I agreed with Craig, although a 6 was a bit harsh.

God you're not allowed a second to enjoy anything around here.

I don't think there is a vast difference between her and Chris, however, I appreciate that there is in terms of public voting. I'm happy she's in the QF and if she goes next week so be it.

I know! Craig was spot on, and I'm surprised to see people thinking it was good - it was pretty pedestrian, nice choreography but Laila had about as much energy as usual which is to say, not a lot. It was quite laboured and dull really.

They're the weakest all rounders in the competition now, I have fingers crossed they'll go next week.

I think that chris is mainly being kept in for his popularity but if you're saying he's a better dancer than laila i really can't agree.

You know, I think he may well be actually. He's getting better each week and can do both latin and ballroom - Laila has Anton to make her look good in the ballroom and other than their paso which I did love, she's pretty poor otherwise.

I don't know where Craig pulled that 6 from
I'm no fan of Laila but that dance definitely deserved more than a 6 even from Craig

Okay so it deserved a 7. But I have to agree with Craig, the contrast between Laila and Anton, who was really bouncing around, was obvious. Ola (and the choreographers) slowed herself down to match Chris, and they gave Ali a brilliantly clever routine where she could show off her timing, extending etc without putting too much strain on her foot.

It's a fine line I guess. See I got the impression (probably way off the mark) that she was meant to be doing a slightly laidback, disinterested in Anton's attempts to woo her dance?!
Dunno, the only thing I will concede is that occasionally she looks like she's concentrating too much on what she's doing (which is probably is). That's she's thinking about the next steps and this sometimes shows on her face.

I still think it was an 8 at the least though

I think Craig deliberately gave her a ridiculously low score to ensure she got a sympathy vote and keep her out of the dance off!

I don't agree - only in hold in ballroom maybe.

I'd go with this. Also Laila did well because a lot of their routine didn't require them to be in synch. Having said that, it was my favourite dance by Laila and Anton.

I'd go with 8. Given the quality of Laila's dancing and performance compared to the other two charlestons and what they were scored. Craig had a couple of criticism's for Ali and she still managed to get an 9. At times it was noticiable that Ola had a lot more bounce while Chris looked flat.
