1. When Bruce says "and here they are in training". I know I have three minutes to fetch nibbles and pour drinks and generally wander about the house. What ever happened to actual training VT's ?

2. I have never been a huge Natalie fan, but her choreography tonight took my breath away.

3. Is Lulu going to scream the intro from "Shout" every.single.show?

4. Craig's "too earnest" was, for me, the most eloquent - and tactful - comment of the night.

5. Bruce needs to ignore the autocue. I know I've said this before, but truly - he ad libs with the very best of 'em.

1. Holly coped well with the wardrobe malfunction
2. Loved Harry's dance
3. Jennifer's overmarking took away from the show
4. Anita looked fabulous
5. Chelsee still my favourite

1. Craig without Len actually works. Now I feel very peculiar.

2. Robbie was very good.

3. Lulu needs to go home. Or into one.

4. Harry's slo-mo t-shirt reveal will become the highest rated YouTube video of the week.

5. (And this is a tidied up version of an earlier post), Jennifer said 8! 8! 8! so many times I thought CEEFAX subtitles had returned.

1. Lulu was rubbish again.
2. Russell and Flavia were 'astonishing' had a smile on my face the whole dance
3. Oh dear Jason; his first few steps were mincing! The Rumba is definitely not for him
4. Jennifer Grey was very disappointing, overmarked nearly everyone Hurry back Len.
5. Chelsee and Pasha were great

1 Jennifer Grey -why?
2 Chelsee is very very good
3 Enjoyed Natalie and Ola' s choreography tonight
4 Holly actually looked as if she was enjoying herself
5 Time for Blulu to leave

1. Pasha makes my biscuits tingle - chelsee for the win!!!
2. Blulu was really awful I'm sorry - she needs to go next
3. Harry - might be a good dancer, has the personality of a cheese sandwich
4. Toss and another wardrobe monstrosity - too short, too tight, make her boobs look wonky and like she had a pot belly!
5. Where was the actual judging tonight? from Craig only I'm afraid

1. I actually liked Jason's rumba - he pulled some very strange faces throughout, but I thought the choreography was really lovely, and Kristina's dress was gorgeous.

2. I thought Alesha and Bruno gave the best criticism tonight.

3. Lulu is rubbish! Honestly, she is - why does she get such good feedback?

4. The fast dances were the best tonight - the two charlestons, the jive and the quickstep.

5. It would be nice to think Robbie's stiffness was him characterising pained aloofness to complement the lyrics of the song, but I don't think it was!

1-Love Chelsee and Pasha . They are still my favourites.I have to add that I love Pasha in that sleeveless shirt
2-I think the show miss Len(It was a bit lacklustre but still enjoyable)
3-I still dont like Jason and I think he showed his true colors tonight after that reaction from the judges comments.
4-I wanted to confiscate Jennifer 8 paddle. I hope that her performance today let people see that being a judge is not that easy.You can be the best dancer(Karen, Matthew, Ian...) or being very famous in your field but appear dull(or unsuited for this job).It takes a lot of confidence, charisma, personality.I think she was just mehhhh.I muted her comments
5-Tonight 's show will test couples's popularity.

1. As I said in the main show thread - the Beeb could have saved themselves the money of flying in Jennifer Gray and just sat an '8' paddle in Len's chair.

2. It would appear that they found the aforementioned air fare by slashing Wardrobe's equipment budget. Seriously, buy some needles and sew that s*** together!

3. Kristina's bitchface at the judges' comments after her and Jason's rumba was worth this year's licence fee alone.

4. The only so-called 'training' VTs I enjoy are Holly and Artem's, and that's because Holly steadfastly refuses to adopt the ZOMG!!!1111! Strictly is Teh Greatest Experience of My Life EVAH!!!11!! stereotype.

5. Dancing? There was some dancing. It wasn't very good.

1. Alex wearing Chelsee's 'quickstep ponitail'
2. Craig calling Jason 'earnest' - spot on.
3. Jennifer Grey - waste of time
4. Loved Holly's jive.
5. Loved Chelsee's charleston.

1. Worst show of the series....not a single dance I want to watch again.
2. Dont think we will have a shock exit ...Audley is toast he doesnt have the support
3. I dont get Anita
4. Glad Kristina & Jason have got the Rumba out of the way
5. Only correct scoring tonight was Russell.

1. Holly's jive was best dance of the night

2. Ola looked fantastic in her pink dress

3. Bored bored bored with Alex and James

4. Jason's gurning getting worse and worse. At one point in his rumba he had a great big smile on his face. The close up at the end showed him scanning the crowd to see what the reaction was.

5. Bring back Nancy (controversial I know)

1 More content tonight - on the whole.
2 That was no jive.
3 Jennifer Thingy was nice but read constantly from a script. Not good.
4 I thought Jason did the rumba well and I don't like the rumba OR Jason.
5 You can't lose with the Charleston.

Jennifer Grey was not worth the money.
I "commend" Alesha on her growing vocabulary.
Harry looked gooooood.
You can't keep Chelsee down.
Artem's choreography is a class apart and he is a trooper.

1) Whilst I don't want "Baby" back EVER again (at least Alesha has BEEN HERE AND DONE THIS yet knows what a 2 is, I did not miss Len and his pickled walnuts one bit. No one got on anyone's wick, there was no mention of faffing abaht, and no one came aht and did this

2) I love Chelseeeeeeeeeeee and Pasha. My faves. They better god damn win this!

3) I love Holly's personality and lack off affectedness at being on the show but please dance to your ability girl! Overmarked I think, sadly

4) Anita is not as good as her marking implies

5) **** off Jasonator!

1. Jennifer was a bit of a non entity, but she looked nice though and was kind.
2. The panel as a whole seemed more relaxed, and I liked that.
3. Halfway through the programme I said to my husband "If Alesha says " that dance really suited you" once more then I will scream". Unfortunately for him she did.
4. Much more dancing, and I liked that, but costume dept need to encourage this by making costumes more dance friendly.
5. I wish Russell had not worn the comedy specs, it was just a gimmick too far.

Blulu is blawful.
Russell is becoming as entertaining as watching slugs copulate.
Anita has photos of the judges in compromising positions.
Alex Jones is the blandest thing on the menu.
Jason annoys the t*ts off me but in comparison to others, he got a raw deal tonight.

Bah humbug.

Loved Chelsee and Pasha but not that coat thingy
Ola looked stunning but not a Robbie lover
Thought Jason's rhumba was undermarked. He was better than Anita.
Holly is doing great and not taking herself too seriously. Artem is an awesome choreographer
Russell still doing it, just, for me.

I agree wholeheartedly with a couple of these thoughts!

1. Mediocre night, rather underwhelmed. Jennifer Grey, please not again.
2. My son (17) who hasn't watched it for a few years said after 10 minutes, "SCD is getting sillier. There's no dancing?" (I think Russel was on..)
2.Could see why Aliona-haters complain about the choreo being mainly about her. Harry wasn't in it.
3. Kristina and Ola were the best dressed. Tess, OTOH, looked, well, like Tess always does..
4. Chelsee uncharacteristically off with timing.
5. Beginning to believe Russel might soon go - routine was disappointing.

Well I thought the show was dire tonight but that post has really made me laugh......I wont look at Russell in the same way again.

1. Kristina giving the bitch-look to Tess as though she would cheerfully tear her hair out at the roots if this weren't live tv.

2. Jennifer Grey proving to be a snore-fest.

3. Craig's bewildered one-word "Astonishing" at Russell's paso.

4. Awkward Jason-moment at the end when he should have been still nuzzling Kristina's neck but was glancing around for the camera.

5. Great choreography from Pasha.

lol.

1; They could have had a cardboard cut out of Jennifer Grey and stuck an 8 paddle on it

2 . Holly and Artem was the dance of the night for me .I loved it ,I loved the outfits and the whole dance .

3: Chelsee and Pascha were good but just not perfect enough

4. Bloody Lulu cannot shut her mouth and is far to familar and up herself .Grrrrrr

5 .Jason just doesnt to sexy , or any other emotion for that matter .

1. Lmao at Russell and Flavs Paso, and thought it was undermarked in comparison to likes of Audley & Lulu.

2. Flav's choreography for him has been great, and I love the balance they have dancing together between his campness and her seriousness

3. Crazy scoring from Jennifer Grey especially at the start of the show.

4. Chelsee and Pashas Charleston was fab, and I liked her look much better tonight too.

5. I don't think there was really any outstanding routines tonight.
