much better show tonight - couples with a bit more personality.

Scores on the doors

Only TWO mentions of the word fun tonight and they were said by the same couple

*trumpet sounds*

Patsy & Robin!

What a shame! Nobody looks good in that situation - at least worrying about getting the routine right isn't keeping her awake!

That Superman VT was genius!!! Still looking forward to my favourite "Pro's making mistakes and celebs teasing them about it" yearly video though.

I bet Scott is delighted that the video evidence of him punching a hole in the wall was shown. Hope the hamstring injury is a tweak rather than a proper pull or rip. Get better soon Scott!

Rumba is turning into a cursed dance this year. First Tina's chicken pox and now Scott's hamstring....

He looked to be walking reasonably well for it to be a full blown rip/pull so fingers crossed.

Yes, I was impressed with that (punching a hole in the wall)

The way he caused the hamstring pull looked fairly innocuous.

Ikea self assembly dance studios. Bloody rubbish.

I missed it tonight, worth iplayering or not?

Isn't it likely because it's slow? Straight legs, holding positions longer, and you should have elements of quickness to give the slow parts more impact.
It's slow but it's tough.

I can't think of anyone on this planet who has a personality less suited to a cha cha. Cha cha is a quick fun dance, and Gavin is..........

Brendan and Michelle were lovely tonight. Enjoyed their interview.

Yes. You're able to stretch things further than they want to stretch, and then they TWANG!! Ouch!

Not really except for the talk about the dresses. My least favourite couples on tonight. My husband said there's something very odd about Michelle no wonder she gets few votes. Pamela's laugh is setting my teeth on edge.

Bet she felt a ***** when no one else laughed with her

Maybe she thought she could turn it into a 'Miss Piggy' moment again - er no Hen, it's already been done to death.

Thats what we said here , " Its not that funny ,love " . I was dreading them all falling into convulsive laughter again , but maybe they were all bored of the effort too.

And mine. Claudia only said hello and she was off. What was she laughing at?

I think all the couples this week look fairly promising apart from Gavin and Ann. I really hope one of these two are leaving. The others are getting better but this pair are stuck in limbo.

Michelle is a hoot.

I had to switch off. I'm starting to pity James.

I like Michelle, too. There've been some really adverse comments about her tonight, but she made me laugh like a drain. She's a proper fruit loop - and anyone who's unafraid to flaunt their inner child is OK with me.

And mine too , I think she was laughing hystericaly at some mistake she had made , hoping it would match the supposed hilarity of her near trip up . But no one seemed to be in the mood of a repeat performance today , Thank goodness .

Hear hear!

She's kinda kooky but that's good as far as I'm concerned. None of her interviews or VT's are predictable or dull that's for sure!

I think so - you see training as well as two interviews.

Why didn't my picture break up at the end of the Superman video? That is a shot of Ann that I never wanted to see!

I think Michelle has a lot of personality, I hope she does well on Saturday and manages to stick around a bit longer. We are only just getting to know her.

Totally agree with you!

Her loopy behaviour is probably just what Brendan needs right now.

Agree. Michelle's genuine 'out-there-ness' really contrasted with Pamela's full-on 'you have to be mad to dance here' attitude. I enjoy ITT when M&B are on, but find P&J stressful to watch as there is a risk of cringiness.

Embarassed how much I wanted to reach for the calpol and blanky when Gav said he felt a bit poorly! Yet Scott's hamstring/stroppy fist behaviour made me want to invoke the naughty step!

Report in one of today's papers that Gavin is ill and may not appear on Saturday.
