1. Russell ... Jokes over! Flavia is doing her best with him but is it enough?

2. Wembley ... Too big a venue? Could the choreography really cope and could the judges see everything over that much space?

3. Would Jason have finally got a 10 had it not been for the error?

4. The Pro dance was brilliant!

5. I loved watching Brendan and James messing about behind Tess lol

I agree re Robbies knee slides ... Is he trying to be a 7 yr old boy at a party??

1. C*ap acoustics
2. Please stop dancing and singing Bruce
3. Russell....same old. same old....
4. Someone has had a word with Len about his gurning at Craig and Bruno
5. Felt sorry for Jason

1. No more Wembley

repeat x 5

1) Surprised Aliona was not trying to eat Russell in that custard yellow
2) Wembley looks like a "you had to be there" venue - dire on TV
3) Serious lack of imagination with music.
4) Most contestants seem to be two steps forward & three back.
5) Lovely dress for Tess.

1. It's perfectly obvious it was Wembley arena, not stadium, but I think the Beeb thought we were all too thick to know the difference
2. The cannon - puerile rubbish
3. Chelsea - great solo section
4. Tess - frock not too bad and I only cringed once
5. Knew Robbie was going to be bad as soon as I saw Ola's catsuit

1. No more Wembley!
2. Loved Chelsee and Pasha
3. Great to see Artem back
4. Most routines were awful
5. Get rid of Russell and Robbie, bored!!

1. Not the venue for a Strictly TV production - too big and too many long shots (wouldn't like the job of sittin in front of the screens and selecting which camera).

2. S'pose Robbie had first dance 'cos it was Wem-ber-leeey!.

3. Alex winked at Bruno??

4. Holly looked as though she was running, not dancing, round the outside of the centre stage.

5. Jason heading for burn-out because of the intensive attitude to training?

1. Felt sorry for Jason but two 9s ridiculous for such a glaring error
2. Russell and Robbie...enough with the same old
3. Liking Chelsee and Pasha more each week, always lots of great content in their routines (Pasha has been the big plus of SCD9 for me)
4. Some music choices utterly bizarre...Come On Eileen for a samba has to be the worst yet
5. Thank goodness Wembley just a one off and raised money for CIN

1. Chelsee was amazing in that Samba. Best dance of the night without a doubt.

2. Jason could have danced his best for the night but that slip, ouch!

3. Russell was truly awful. Missed timing, he looked wasted. I so wished they fire him out of the Arena at the start then we won't have to be treated with THAT.Still he did more jive steps than Harry every attempted!!!

4. Holly did a good QS, but I can't help but think she would have done better with Brendan as they appeared to have trained together more from the ITT clip.

5. The Wembley show was not bad, but I would prefer it to be a little smaller, like Blackpool, with less echo in the sound system. Gosh, but be nightmarish to try to follow the timing when there are so much echo in the Arena!

1. Wembley. Just. No.
2. But Zoe will gush on ITT about how brilliant it was, ALL WEEK.
3. Highlight of the night - Tess clamping her hand over Russell's gob to get him to shut up.
4. Second highlight - Brendan and Artem bromance.
5. Dancing? Mostly pants.

1) If Russell and/or Robbie are still here in the final I shall be rather annoyed.
2) Holly is generally too lackadaisical for quick dances and she seemed to have got Anita's costume designer this week.
3) Anita, dress wise, looked rather good (her dance was not but I was expecting that).
4) I'm thinking Chelsee is the only real dancer in this shower.
5) Strictly is unique. I can't think of any other programme that would have me thinking - that was really quite a pile of poo and yet I'm still going to watch every week and still enjoy it in a perverse way.

We're clearly all masochists.

1. nobody does a catsuit as well as Ola

2. Robbie is a wuss but he's adorable

3. Tess is very businesslike but cant engage with an audience

4. James Jordan can *this surprised me*

5. Robin gets lost in the "phwoar" stakes


* and Len didnt annoy me as much as he usually does*

Flavia's eye make up

Chelsee solo was very good

Anita mistiming claps to her own hubbys music

The catsuit returns

Bruce and his little tap dance tickled me

i thought they weren't as good as they usualy are, with the exception of Harry and Aliona,they were just fine

1. This forum is so negative, I was in the audience and from reading the comments on here I expected it to look AWFUL on tv, in fact I think it comes across ok (although I agree too many distance shots).
2. Chelsee was fabulous.
3. Harry's salsa would have been better if it wasn't done to I'm still standing.
4. Seeing Russell being lifted into the cannon will probably stay with me forever.
5. Think Wembley was great as a one-off, although I agree Blackpool is a better alternative & like the intimacy of the studio.

1. Cannon fodder
2. Aliona - It's All About You
3. Ola hungry bum
4. Jason - a live jive with no drive
5. Robbie nearly causing crotch decapitation

1. For those awful moments, Jason looked like my Grandmother used to when she walked into the kitchen, but had forgotten why.

2. Holly doesn't try for Artem. A real potential star lost there.

3. The sound engineers obviously used my 1970 edition of 'Tape recording from the radio' handbook to set up.

4. There is a real danger that Chelsee will get so much better than the others that it becomes embarassing, especially now that she actually has time to practice.

5. Probably the most overblown set of marks I have ever seen tonight. Most of the dances just seemed to be people trying to run from one corner of a playing field to another. Alex as good as Chelsee?



You will have noticed that there is no mention of Grant. That is purely because the words I would use to describe this frightful charade would get me banned off here. Please remember Russell, it is not the 'public loving you' as you so frequently espouse, it is the public laughing at you.

1- the sound was terrible
2- most of the outfits were terrible
3- dances not suitable for the setting
4- marking ???????
5- SCD sacrificed for charity

1) Sound not great
2) Singing fail was EPIC on some songs
3) Wardrobe looked like they'd left half their stuff behind!
4) Chelsee. Who knew she'd be such a little starlette!
5) Brendan and Artem bromance VT... those two should dance a rhumba to a special guest one time, just to give us all a huge giggle...

1. Well that didn't work did it?
2. - 5. See above

1. I didn't think Wembley would work, and for the most part, it didn't.

2. I want to thank Robbie and Ola for their showdance, but why didn't they do they actual dance? That's not very fair...

3. Russell - when a metaphor becomes as obvious as that, it's time to take the hint and go

4. Bruce. Just....Bruce.

5. Harry managed to make one decent lift look awful, and one Aliona Show Off Special look really good. They could be worth a cheeky fiver....

1. Instead of wafting her dress, Alex wafting big banners. Score wise James will think he's in with a chance. Bah!!
2. Did Harry do any dancing?? If he was, what was it?? Bah!!
3. Holly & Artem running round like headless chickens trying to use the whole stage area. A good dance lost. Bah!!
4. Robbie & Ola - the "Opening Sequence for Robbie Williams' Tour Dance". Bah !!!!
5. Mini Matt di A moment for Jason. Aah!!

Overall too many Bahs!!, not enough Yays!! for me this week.

1 Wembley is way too big for SCD.
2 STFU Brucie
3 Holly & Artem, Harry & Aliona just don't seem connected
4 I love Chelsee & Pasha
5 Nothing wowed me.
