I'm a bit torn. I think that Chelsee is the most naturally talented celebrity by a country mile, and her partnership with Pasha is my favourite to watch, but... I have to add a but, I find her personality very irritating. The fluffy little girl routine grates with me as much as the legions of people who make patronising comments about her as if she was some kind of flipping cocker spaniel puppy. You're a grown woman, Chelsee, act like it.

Still, I do love watching her dance and I'm fascinated to see what she can do when she has more time to practice properly and can perhaps be permanently unwelded from her phone.

Personality-wise, I love Anita & Robin... but I find Anita's dancing very lack-lustre. I kinda like Holly, she's a bit prickly but strikes me as a no-nonsense woman with her head screwed on. I thought her AS tonight was surprisingly ethereal - probably the best dance of the night.

Just my tuppenceworth!

Nobody's forcing you to like Chelsee. I dont like Jason as I find him so full on and full of ham and cheese when dancing.

However, Chelsee is the youngest competitor in the show and as everybody can see a very sensitive soul lacking in confidence. I dont think people have been patronising about her only concerned as they know she has an abundance of talent but doesnt believe in herself. There is nothing wrong in showing emotion. Last night was worse for Chelsee as she felt as if she'd let her partner Pasha down when of course she hadnt. I think you're being very unfair and a mite harsh but of course yo'ure entitled to your opinion.

I really enjoyed Jason and Kristina's dance this week. It was my favourite dance of the night. But still loving Chelsee and Pasha too. Such a shame about the dress, it was distressing to see her so upset and hope it doesn't dent her confidence.

Maybe being cynical but was the whole Chelsee crying about the dress a sympathy vote for missing few steps at end? After all she is 23 years old and doesn't normally mind showing her expansive cleavage - agree with comments that she needs to "man up" and act her age.

Love Harry but why does Aliona go out of her way to irritate the judges with her poor choice of choreography?

This is what I don't understand... We are this animal, when someone yawns, we can't help but copy; someone laughs - a stranger - and you can't help but smile. You watch the news and hear a scared person crying... You feel it in your gut. Feeling has a short circuit connection to us. So though I know that there's a whole range of opinion out there about subjective creative stuff, I cannot understand how Chelsee's feeling upset is being doubted.

I'm not getting at anyone - really - I simply don't understand it.

Voted Chelsee and Pasha and I admit it was cos I'm dopey. Wasn't the best dance. Holly and Jason were terrific last night. A non-dopey person should probby vote for them

I voted for Chelsee and Pasha.

I loved all the dances this week and even with the wardrobe malfunction I just thought their tango was probably the dance of the night. Jason and Kristina were probably my second favorite I love Jason and Kristina, my third was Robbie and Ola.

I really liked Harrys dance too but just wished Aliona had put more Tango into it! I usually don't mind Aliona as much as most people do and last week their Waltz was amazing but I sat there the whole time waiting for the Tango to begin and it never really did. Felt the same for Holly and Artems AS.

I admire Jason's graft and determination, I just wish (for his own good) that Kristina would stick a sock in his gob so he couldn't blow his chances with the public by long-windedly over-analysing it all with those raaaather unfortunate elongated aussie vowels that can make him seem like a bit of a precious windbag. I think he's probably a really lovely guy, just needs to be himself (tough for a career performer!) and not worry so much how he comes across.

Anyway, Chelsee. Don't get me wrong, I don't seriously dislike her! I'm in it for the dancing, really, and I love watching anyone with talent. I'm just annoyed when I feel like I can't root for them properly because they just rub me up the wrong way. I think jasper has a point - she may be the youngest, but she's 23. She's not 15. Not to get too absurdly Alf Garnet-ish here, but we've got lads out in Afghanistan and the like risking it all at 18, 19. Not saying everybody needs to mature at the same rate, it's just a trend in our culture that gets me grinding my teeth - we seem to cosset dippy little bundles of fluff. I mean, at least Chelsee seems like a nice soul with a real talent for entertainment, but think about how the nation took the likes of Jade Goody to their hearts. Or even Jordan. Or Posh. Or any of an entire catalogue of dim, superficial, silicon-and-bleach chumps who really do make my inner feminist tear her hair out. It's like philandering footballers getting OBEs... while people who do something good or really useful in the world are mostly ignored 'cause they don't sell any gutter papers.

About the patronising comments on Chelsee - I skimmed through a thread on here where she was referenced several times as 'Chelsee-pet.' I mean, what the...? Like a nintendo puppy? Chelsee-in-your-pocket? Ugh. I don't think she consciously plays up to that pat-me-on-the-head demographic, but you must admit she does act like a kid most of the time. As for the wardrobe incident, personally I think her distress was obviously genuine and I did feel for her. At the same time, though, I kind of wondered 'well, hey, if you decide to append a couple of plastic balloons to your frontage, it doesn't make a lot of sense to be too shocked about the prospect of revealing quite a bit when you're wearing a low-cut dress.' I mean, if you're old enough to consent to having a perfectly healthy, lovely body sliced open and stuffed with plastic by some unscrupulous money-grabbing creep who's a disgrace to the word 'doctor,' then surely you're old enough to maturely deal with the subsequent... fall-out, pardon the expression.

Sorry, too much yakking. Just getting it off my chest!

Chelsee and Pasha for me this week, I love their chemistry. I also loved Jason and Kristina and Harry and Aliona but they need to 'dance' more!

Chelsee & Pasha closely followed by Harry & Aliona.

Shame about the wardrobe 'malfunction' she's easily the best dancer on the show!

Couldn't care less about Aliona's choreography. Judge the dancer NOT the dance.

Another vote for Artem and Holly, that's my favourite dance of the series so far, absolutely mesmerising. It could probably have been danced better, but the choreography and story-telling was amazing. Loved it!

Love Harry & have voted for him but not really a fan of Aliona, in fact she is one of the only prof dancers I am not keen on

I voted Chelsee and Pasha but have to say that there are others I rate quite highly and there is no-one left whom I actually dislike watching.

I voted Chelsee and Pasha as my favourites, although I did really like the performance from Jason and Kristina this week (very charming routine).

Overall:

Chelsee and Pasha by a country mile.

Harry and Aliona a distant second.

On saturday:

Holly and Artem's AS. Didn't vote for them though, as all my votes go to C&P (might throw Harry one or two if he's ever in danger)

Jason and Kristina - partly because I thought it was a great routine and partly just because I've come to realise the quickstep is just my favourite dance when it's done well

(though I thought all three at the top were really good and Holly in particular took a big step forward tonight. Good night all round)
I'm loving Jason, he's brilliant. The quickstep is also my favourite dance.
