So what did everyone think of the swingathon? Did you agree with the order?

Personally I thought it was a bit dull although Harry was very good and deserved to win it. I thought Alex got too far throughout it, whenever I saw them James was just flinging her about. Surprised that Jason went out so early, think he should have gone a bit later.

To be honest I find myself unsure of where to look in case I miss something so I end up missing most of it. I loved the song tho

That's five minutes of my life I won't get back.

I thought it was much better than last year's, surprisingly.

Harry and Aliona deserved the win, and Pasha and Chelsee were also good. Jason was out of time, Holly didn't seem to be doing much, neither did Alex, and I didn't really watch Robbie. Anita and Brendan looked like they were having fun and shouldn't have been out so soon

Really enjoyed it Surprised Alex got as far as she did though, as others said, whenever I saw her, she was doing the same lift where she was being spun around James' head, and it didn't look particularly gainly (but then a lift like that rarely would I imagine!).

Definitely going to rewatch that at some point

It didn't do much for me, I'd prefer a properly choreographed group dance with each couple getting a little cameo section to judge them on.

A load of pointless twaddle.

Harry wasn't a worthy winner. May have had more extravagant routine than Chelsee but hers was much cleaner and much more about swing dancing and less about acrobatics- rubbish decision by the judges ¬_¬

Yeah I think Im going to rewatch and look properly at all the couples like others have said when they were doing it, it was hard to know where to look

I hated it last year and - surprise, surprise - hated it this year too.

Spot on, LittleMissJ - Alex's feet hardly touched the ground, so Lord knows why the judges kept them in longer than Jason. Otherwise, I think they got the order right. Yawn. BBC, please don't do it again next year!

I thought it was a bit unfair for Chelsee and Pasha but Im glad that they got the 2nd place.

Oh, I'm sure you'll find another five spare ones from somewhere though.

I don't think the camera work did anyone any favours. It was impossible to see what any of the pairs were actually doing.

Agree about Alex being kept in when most of her 'dancing' was being flung about by James. But I rather enjoyed the fact that the Savage was beaten in a stamina dance by a lay-dee in her 60s.

Harry definitely stood out. Hate to say this but I can't even think how Chelsee looked right now, she never grabbed my eyes on that floor which was her downfall in a way for me. Didn't really find my eyes watching Robbie or Anita either so I'm not surprised they went early. I think they made a mistake putting Holly in the suit style again.

I liked it but I didn't agree with the finishing order I'd never have kept Alex in longer than Jason.

Jason seemed to be struggling for breath - didn't he say on ITT he has asthma? Maybe that was affecting him after a very fast Charleston.

I thought Harry and Aliona were worthy winners.

Best dance music of the night, I guess it was Dave Arch's choice.

alex should have gone 2nd

I'm not sure what everybody else was watching, but Alex was doing a LOT and held her stamina. My expectation was that she would be third out, but she held her own. The camera focused on them for the big lifts, hence why it may of seemed like she was always up in the air – not that that is legit criticism as everybody else was doing big lifts. But I watched her closely and she had tons of floor stuff and tons of bounce and she still had lots of energy when she was called off the floor, it was just the others were better.

Holly could barely move after a few secs, Jason got sluggish quite quickly also. It was pretty obvious Anita and Robbie would go out early – so her placing was exactly correct.

I didn't see as much Lindy-hop or Jitterbug as I expected. Jason and Kristina seemd to be doing a good impression of spotty-dog from the Woodentops whenever I saw them. No complaints about the last two.

Dare I say the cameras are a big problem this yr - we want to see their FEET stop doing the loop the blooming loop for effect it doesnt work ! thank you x

I'll definitely need to watch it again several times before I can see each couple properly and compare. Probably easier to see in the studio.

If Jason, for whatever reason, couldn't keep up, and Alex was dancing far better, why would you keep Jason in over somebody who was doing better than him? As you admit, he was struggling for breath. He couldn't keep up, hence why he was out early.

But I do think you are right about the asthma, and even after his main dance he looked like he was having problems.

well, i have the same view this year as i had last year. too much going on, and a confusing (and disproportionate) choice of camera shots.

Can't say I enjoy it much - too much going on, all a bit frantic.
