(Can I take it as read that the VTs were hideous?)
1. I feel a bit silly saying it, but Chelsee's AS made me cry. She's improved so much, and last night she showed the focus that I wasn't sure she'd find, just when she needed it, doing 2 dances that don't naturally play to her strengths of fun and energy. She's not perfect, but she is glorious.
2. I thought that Harry and Jason did everything anyone could have done with the choreography they were given and all credit to them. They're very different to watch, but they both put immense, impressive effort in. They were both excellent, but they don't move me like Chelsee does.
3. I feel a cow for saying it, but I was disappointed by Holly's AT. Perhaps they looked so fantastic I was expecting too much. The beginning reminded me of entertaining a bored child by spinning them round in an office chair and I think that killed the mood for me from then on. In contrast I liked her Charleston more than I expected from the music. Really love her attitude to the show, she's lovely, but dancing doesn't come easy to her.
4. I thought James protected Alex with the choreography more than Artem protected Holly, though I'm not sure of that's good or bad for the public vote. Alex was brave in the way she went for it, but for me she's the weakest - but if she gets the public vote, good luck to her, she's had a lovely attitude all through.
5. I thought the leaderboard was the right order and I thought it was a good show.

1. WTF was Jason's AT , 40 ? never in a million years .
2. I like Alex as a person but on the dancefloor her time to leave has come .
3. I thought Holly's Paso was better than Chelsee's
4. I think Holly wants to go home now , her charleston just looked like she could'nt be bothered .
5. I shed a tear at Harry's VW One of the most beautiful dances i have ever seen on scd .

1. I'm not wild about Harry

2. James, it's not about you.

3. Chelsee had a foot in hem moment in the Paso.

4. Loved the mood of the AT and the quirky Charleston from Holly.

5. Kristina's manic AT - all those lifts and body wraps seemed more like a show dance.

Hint: They have the same frame (lightbulb moment)!

1 Artem, your choice of music consistently SUCKS.
2 Kristina, would you sell your soul to win the glitterball? Looks like you'd do pretty much anything...
3 Aliona, you're getting the hang of this choreography thing. Well done!
4 Pasha, never stop being adorable. Mwah!
5 James, you did the best you could and I hope you've enjoyed it.

1. Adored Harry & Aliona's VW - so beautiful
2. Alex and Jason's latin numbers were cringeworthy
3. Jason's AT was amazing
4. Adore Artem's choreography, loved that Charleston, suited Holly down to the ground.
5. James Jordan is a bore.

1. Chelsee makes me smile, she lights up the floor, and always exceeds what I think she will be capable of doing, a joy to watch.
2. Harry is a competent dancer, but there's something missing for me. I just don't get excited watching him dance.
3. Jason did well with the AT, I was delighted he got 40, I've never ben a fan but I loved this dance. A bit OTT raunchy, and though I love Kristina there is a desperation creeping into their routines that is unpleasant.
4. Craig is my favorite judge, I agree with everything he says.
5. James Jordan is an egomaniac. I found his behavior when Jason finished nasty. Didn't like it at all.

I think its all just become a bit too 'X Factor' now

1. Does Moira Ross have a 5 year old child who enjoys making VTs?

2. There used to be only one Alesha, now there are four.

3. Props to Artem for doing something different - largely on his own.

4. Craig has lost (sold out) his consistency daahling.

5. TASER for James - Tessanine floor.

1 Chelsea was the best dancer of the night. American smooth was moving and the paso was very good probably the best paso strictly has ever seen.
2. Harry was over marked. He did the steps but his dances left me cold. He needs to smile more.
3. Holly looked very exhausted when she finished the charleston. I think she is very tired.
4. Alex was forgettable.
5. Jason gained his way to the final with the Argentine tango. I agree that Kristina is a bit desperate but they deserved the 40 for their hard work.

1. Tess' dress was hideous! As was Holly's Charleston outfit

2. Nope. Still can't take to Jason sorry.

3. I cringed when James mentioned that Alex had been crying about doing the Samba. A rather obvious plea for votes.

4. So pleased that Harry was top of the leaderboard.

5. I really hope Alex and Jason are gone.

Chelsee is too adorable for words! Getting lifted up to see over the pros during Tess’s bit, and not knowing what ‘vertically challenged’ meant…ordinarily, that kind of thing would really grate on me, but I actually find her innocence to be quite endearing!

Artem works the sexy geek look surprisingly well! I think that the glasses should replace the sparkly hats as his accessory of choice.

There was some seriously dodgy scores from the judges this week, even from the usually infallible Craig. A nine for Harry, but a freakin’ ten for Jason? Really, Craig?

I love Harry a little more with each passing day. I suspect that Chelsee might beat him to the Glitter Ball, but he will always be this year’s winner in my eyes.

I actually thought that the Famous Five VT was hilarious. I laughed till my sides hurt at Craig’s dirty little secret, and Rent-a-Pro stealing the Glitter Ball was too funny for words! I know that it’s an unpopular opinion, but you know what? I love the VTs. There, I said it.

Amen to all of that.

Didn't watch it so putting view from reading here:
1- personality rules
2- the dancing is superfluous
3- nobody is happy with the marking or the dances
4- the judges have lost the plot
5- Tess needs GOK!

Please quieten down the noise the from audience; thank goodness that I can turn down the volume and have subtitles

I loved Holly's Argentine tango, reminiscent of Mark's; but I did not like the choreography nor her outfit for her other dance.

Chelsee is good, but made errors, and I can't take to her, difficult to explain why, partly maybe that she is a grown woman of 23 but acts as if a child at times,

At last Harry was given more dance steps to do by Aliona and did them well.

Kristina's choreography has been excellent for all her celebrity partners.

Results show:
1) Ugggh showdance - maybe the inspiration for the travesty known as Bacofoil
2) Alex looked looked completely wiped out. Just as well they were voted off, she didn't look as though she could have managed another week.
3) Good exit speeches from James (who has failed to pick his words carefully up til now!) and Artem. Neither of them looked surprised or upset.
4) Has Brendan caught the hat-thing from his time with Artem?
5) After Alex and James had walked off LOL at the bald guy in the audience behind Tess who suddenly realised everyone else around him had sat down

1. not a harry fan but he deserved 4 tens for that dance
2. none of the pro dances wowed me (the showdance was very similar toa previous one i watched on youtube this morning)
3. very dignified exits from holly and alex, leaving the right finalists
4. SO HAPPY FOR CHELSEE!!! she and Pasha deserved those four tens
5. have a nasty feeling harry will win... it'll be well deserved but i hope it's Chelsee

1. The producers IMO wanted Jason in the final and the judges and them helped him accordingly. Did much the same with Pamela last year.

2. Much preferred Holly's AT to Jason's. Harry's VW and her AT were my two favourite dances of the night.

3. Neither Jason's AT or Chelsee's Paso were 40 dances for me. Particularly Jason's AT where he didn't seem to do many steps at all, but just overloaded on some ridiculously OTT facial expressions.

4. Chelsee's AS was very good but failed to move me. Her Quickstep remains my favourite dance of hers and in fact it's still her only dance that's truly wowed me.

5. Preferred Holly's Paso from last week to Chelsee's. Was disappointed Jason rather than Holly made the final, though neither deserve(d) to win IMO. That should be either Chelsee or Harry.

1. I
2. Shall
3. Never
4. Sleep
5. Again

Now what am I referring to? Answers on a postcard...

Anything to do with Greyson's predatory Hannibal Lecter impression ?

1. That horrendous AT
2. That AT and the ridiculous scores
3. That AT tries to block it out
4. That AT shakes head
5. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH - Can't remember anything else that happened.

1) Craig is the most consistent and fair judge except when it comes to his ten paddle. Glad to read from the comments on this forum that I wasn't the only one who thought Chelsee's Paso was chronically over-marked. She seemed hesitant and I found it rather dull. An after the Lord Mayor's show (aka. Holly Zeta Jones) affair for me sadly. Why it got 40 and Harry's lovely VW didn't is a total mystery to me.

2)Despite being a tad over-marked - I really liked Jason's AT - I wasn't sure .

3) What did Holly do to pee off the wardrobe department? - neither dress did her any favours and the charleston outfit was especially unflattering.

4)The flip side of being innovative is that sometimes you will get it badly wrong - I'm looking at you Artem.

5) The right order on the leaderboard and backed up by the public helping to choose the right three in the final which will result in a worthy winner no matter whom it is.

1. Adored Jason and Kristina's AT - amazing. Best dance of the season for me.
2. Loved Craig, the only reliable judge.
3. Found Harry very attractive and a surprisingly great dancer.
4. Wanted to commit an act of violence upon the egomanical person that is James Jordan
5. Dissappointed in Artem, seemed lacklustre towards Holly and the show in general.

1. Artem conitunes to come up with amazing routines and is such an asset to the show
2. Chelsees paso was lacklustre and overmarked . Much prefered Hollys and Artems Zorro inspired one the previous week.
3. Dissapointed in Craig for unleashing his 10 on two dances that didn't deserve them. Hollys AT and Harrys VW were the dances of the night for me and if 10s were to be given it should have been to them.
4. I will forever be traumatised by the image of Jason sniffing Kristinas hair at the start of their AT...eugh!!!
5. The show could be renamed 'Strictly Come boob watch' - no soon as Chelsee had gotten hers undercontrol we had Kristina almost unleashing hers for all to see
