Craig spot on /

Chelsea can dance but needs experiance of life to sell it I havent watched Waterloo Rd maybe her acting skills are not streached there

I wonder if this is the week for the scripted shock result we havent had one this series”

Don't bother with Waterloo Road. The only thing to be stretched is the material in her clothes.

I'm almost certain there won't be a shock. The top 3 are well protected and there aren't any ties.

1. Judge's comments were actually mostly fair - scoring a bit off but we're used to that.

2. VTs not so bad this week. Other than Jason's.

3. Dancing standard still quite mediocre; even the most competent ones lacked performance wow for me.

4. Swingathon was a bit too busy and hard to judge based on the camera angles constantly flickering around.

5. Nice to be back from Wembley.

1. Chelsee was technically brilliant, but lacked ANY passion. The AT has to be about sexual chemistry - but she barely even looked at Pasha.

2. Harry's routine was gorgeous - light footed, delicate, polished, and definitely Aliona's best choreography so far.

3. Robbie - for God's sake, put it away.

4. Anita coped very well with a new partner but is increasingly in need of an extra sandwich. She's taking 'gaunt' to a new level....

5. I felt that the final leaderboard truly reflected the correct scoring for everyone for the first time this series.

Sorry, one extra - was it me, or were the VTs better this week?

1. Can't stand Harry. He's this year's Rachel Stevens - charisma bypass, no personality and overmarked.

2. Anita - No. Just no.

3. Alex. Soppy. Drip. Overmarked. Again.

4. That 'singer' - my ears!!

5. Why do I watch this rubbish?

1. Holly’s red dress was beautiful. She looked stunning.

2. I don’t know what the judges were thinking, keeping Alex in the swingathon for as long as they did. Did her feet even touch the floor? All I saw was her being swung around by her partner.

3. Bruce actually made me giggle a few times tonight! His jokes felt a lot less laboured than usual this evening.

4. I love Robbie, but I think it’s time for him to go.

5. Brendan Cole is a sex god. ‘Nuff said.

1. Harry's Quickstep was probably the best dance of the series (a long with Chelsee's QS from a few weeks back) but not a patch on the best QS's from other series.
2. Pasha is much better at the Argentine Tango than any of the other pros (other than Vincent and Flavia obviously), how could Chelsee not find him attractive in that dance??? crazy girl.
3. Highlight of the night was Pasha and Chelsee's cute little dance in the introduction, it all went down hill from there...
4. Ugh Jason + Charleston= gurntastic
5. Thought the swingathon was better this year than last, surprisingly, although it was blatantly obvious that they let Alex stay in for so long because they were trying to avoid a tie between Jason and Chelsee in the leaderboard.

1. Harry was fantastic
2. Chelsee was also fantastic
3. Holly was fantastic and seriously undermarked
4. Anita was terrible and seriously overmarked
5. I hate the Charleston with a passion

1) Tonight was the first time I really enjoyed watching Harry - LOVED his Quickstep!
2) Another first in that I didn't rate Chelsee as my favourite tonight - I still rate her as one of the best but she just didn't shine tonight
3) Part of me wishes we could have a double elimination tonight and be done with Robbie and Anita already
4) I actually kinda enjoyed the swingathon Though more for the politics of who went off when than the actual dancing
5) But overall, apart from Harry, Chelsee and Jason I found tonight quite... :yawn:

1. Thought Chelsee did well in the swingamajig as she's the only one who's not done jive yet.

2. Ola is really winding me up with her choreography this year!

3. Not an Aliona fan but was really impressed to see a quickstep with lots of content, no faffing and no props! See what happens to the marks when you let Harry dance! He was great!

4. Who's having Brendan next week????

5. Hated Artems music choice. Not a foxtrot and didn't work! I want Holly's dress!!

1. Loved Harry's quickstep (but Craig was right about the sickle)

2. The pro-Alex bias is irritating, she is lucky to have survived this long.

3. Why did Artem wear the silly joke shop hat? It must be a Russian thing.

4. Chelsee and Pasha were so close to scoring tens tonight, but spoiled it by the lack of 'leaning in'.
Perhaps she was afraid to push her bosom into Pasha's chest....and he was afraid to ask!

5. Judging by how they were dressed, Anton and Erin are dancing a Vienese Waltz in the results
show .......tomorrow night!

1. Loved Holly's foxtrot despite the awful music.
2. Harry dances well technically but has no soul.
3. Loved the colours of Tess's outfit (had a summer dress in those colours many, many years ago) but the style was horrible.
4. Alex wasn't as good as last week and James is a twit.
5. Do away with the standing ovations - they're meaningless unless spontaneous and we all know that they're orchestrated.

1 Harry and Aliona wowed me tonight ,I actually clapped in my sitting room for him

2 Anita is getting in my wick , just too OTT in the Tesspit , relax love .

3 I loved Hollys dress and I loved the dance but hated the music and for me it didnt match at all

4 I though Chelsee was a tiny bit insulting to Pascha in the VT ?

5 . Erin looked stunning .I hope she is dancing a waltz

1. Robbie - think you better go now, your dances are not anything as well constructed as anyone elses and your playing to camera is quite frankly boooooring Darling! And your legs would have done well remaining dressed - if we want to see Male legs lets have Artems or Robins!!

2. The difference was noted by one of the judges glasses comments - Alisha's I think to Jason?- your hard work is paying off. I think some celebs have too many balls in the air and it is showing

3. Hollys dress was fabulous and she looked HOT!

4. Chelsee has the ability to win but must overcome her nerves and ACT the part each week - shows how rubbish Waterloo road is!! However she is a gem and Strictly must be delighted they found her - there can be nobody who hasn't warmed to her

5. I love Brucie - big big fan but splattered my wine tonight with his off the cuff comment straight back at Craig - "you'll be getting my lazy right foot...." after Craig's comment to Harry re his lazy left foot!! Sir Brucie I love ya!!!

1. I actually liked the Tess dress
2. Wasn't impressed with Chelsee tonight. Found it a bit muddled.
3. Harry & Aliona were fabulous and the stand out act.
4. Robbie has very skinny legs & the reveal added nothing to that performance.
5. Rent-a-pro Brendan suited Holly much better than Anita

He was almost cringe-free for me tonight. I actually grinned at a couple of his lines.

I will take what she said with a pinch of salt.We all know how those vt are scripted and there is a lot that happens behind the scenes that we dont know.

*Harry and Aliona danced a wonderful quickstep ,all credit to Harry in being able to just dance when given the chance and the choreography to do it ,and thank you to Aliona for letting us see how well he can dance

*Chelsee and Pasha did not have any Argentine Tango connection IMHO ,and this wasn`t helped by the lack of A frame hold .I do understand that she has been ill this week ,but she was well enough to go to a Rhianna concert ,so why not train ?

*I expected to be more Wowed by the Charlestons than I was

*Sadly Anita and Robbie are now the weakest links ,and much as I have enjoyed both of their "journeys" it is now time to go

*And I`m afraid that the judges are starting to annoy me ,they under/overmark according to who is dancing ,rather than how they are dancing far too often .How can one celeb be criticised for pulling faces or looking at the floor or doing No heel leads ,and then another gets away with it completely ?

1. A highlight was Bruce's joke about Alex wanting to get a chance to dance with Brendan.
2. Artem tries too hard to be different with his choreography. Sometimes it works and sometimes it seems too desperate (like placing a cartwheel in one of Kara's routines), tonight it didn't work, the whole thing, routine + music didn't work.
3. I cannot work out if Holly is bored and cannot be bothered, if she is tired and cannot be bothered or maybe thinks this is all a bit beneath her. She is not imo coming across as likeable.
4. My husband's only comment "good to see Robbie taking one for the team". A bit of a moment, made more amusing by the naughty boys in the Tesspit.
5. Tess really does not earn her salary, asking Harry if he can see the glitterball in sight, was cringeworthy even by her standards.

Maybe the concert was first??

1. Fed up of Robbie now - he is not sexy just obvious
2. Anita well acted but legs needed to be straighter.
3. Harry still not lighting my fire - however technical he is.
4. Chelsee good but clearly self conscious [ a little crush on Pascha?}
5. Jason is a trooper - I wish people would stop knocking him

1. Chelsee's dress tonight was hideous
2. Holly's music tonight was hideous.
3. Bruce's jokes tonight weren't (actually laughed out loud at the Robbie's roots one )
4. The swingathon doesn't make good tv.
5. Robbie. Just go. Please.
6. The standard this year is rubbish compared to others.
7. I can't count.

1. Think Harry will just edge Chelsee in the final
2. James Jordan - TIT
3. Saw Katiya upstairs - how I wish she hadnt got Dan Blob
4. Alex - well matched with her partner
5. Robbie just threw away all respect gained so far
6. Counting was never my strongest point.

1.. Harry was AMAZING tonight! - Best dance of the series so far for me

2.. I missed Russell and Flavia A LOT and they would have been doing a VW tonight which I think would have been good

3. Holly looked beautiful in her dress....best of the night!

4. I hate the Charleston faces....although thought the actual dances weren't bad.

5. Disappointed in Chelsee and Pasha's Argentine Tango, but I generally only really like Vincent and Flavia dancing AT tbh....
