1) What a contrast to last weeks vintage show which was outstanding - tonight was just terribly dire with Bruce back.
2) Wembley just doesn't work because of the wide long range camera shots with dances either being lost or being too manic.
3) Dani and Vincent are my favourite couple - a great partnership with fantastic traditional choreographed dances.
4) I prefer Richard over Nicky and Victoria and would be happy for any of those two to go out tonight.
5) That was not a Samba by Lisa nor an American Smooth by Louis - both over marked.

Yes Dani was great. Lisa over marked again. Michael improving all the time. Denise danced like a professional again lol. Great dance from Kimberley - The Samba is a difficult dance.

1 I like the competition in the studio or at Blackpool, but not at Wembley.

2 I did not like Denise's charleston nor Lisa's dance, and Nicky's jive did not appeal .

3 Victoria showed far more confidence today.

4 I loved Michael's American Smooth - 10, I voted for that
and Dani's quickstep.

5 I prefer the programme without Bruce.

1. Awful, awful, show. I was expected it to be bad, but that was just a mess. A few good dance though.
2. Loved Denise's Charleston, one of the few, if not only, Strictly Charleston I've liked. (Do not care if she's a "professional" I don't think any of her roles have called for a Charleston)
3. Michael's American Smooth was undermarked imo, should have been at least level with Dani, if not higher.
4. Dani and Kimberley were the only other two you that did well.
5. Finally gone off Lisa, I'm hoping she goes these week, and I actually think it's likely.

1. Hated Wembley last year but thought this year greatly improved, particularly the sound quality.
2. Loved the exuberance of Lisa's dance (although it was SO not a samba), and loved even more her delight in the reception it received.
3. I agreed with Bruno - Louis's AS was disappointing, but shocked to see him so low down the leader-board.
4. Absolutely loved the more traditional AS of Michael and Natalie - my favourite dance of the night.
5. Erin is clearly pining for Erin Island and I think she might be able to pack her bags after that poor excuse of a salsa.

1. Didnt like Denise's charlston or lisa's dance (cant remeber what she did)
2. I liked Dani and Michael. I thought Michael was undermarked
3. Dissapointed with Louis but I did enjoy the tricks and I liked the song
4. Hope Richard goes. He gives me the creeps and is very annoying.
5. Bruce should go and strictly should never go to wembly again.

1. I didn't like Denise's charleston, so was bewildered when it got 10s.

2. Until Victoria danced I was thinking I wasn't going to like any of the dances.

3. The judges were harsh on Victoria (in stark contrast to her far worse perfomances earlier in the series).

5. Dani is simply devine, hers was the best dance of the evening for me...way ahead of Denise.

6. Really enjoyed Michael's AS, brilliantly choreographed by Natalie, and performed so well by him.

1. Wembley is AWFUL - dreadful sound, horrible dancefloor, terrible camerawork, judge over marking like there's no tomorrow.....please please ditch it and bring back Blackpool!
2. May be just me but Kimberley's samba looked and sounded more like a salsa to me, and from my ballroom dancing lessons (many years ago!) I think I saw more samba steps in Lisa's samba.
3. Didn't like Denise's Charleston much - maybe it was strange choice of track but it felt a bit mechanical and flat to me.
4. Louis looks like he's hating every minute of this and I found that a really strange AS - agree with Len, not much "Smooth" there....
5. Dani and Vincent the best dance for me tonight, a proper dance that you could actually identify!

Oh, and great to see Aliona back in the background there along with Ola and Kristina!

1 - Wem-ber-lee is WAY too big for this show
2 - Oh Vicky, I still love you and you danced well, but seriously Brendan needs a smack for that routine!
3 - This week I totally understood why everyone bitches about Lisa being overmarked, NO WAY was that an 8!
4 - Richard is seriously past his sell-by date
5 - Wem-ber-lee is WAAAAY too big for this show

1. I was intrigued when I heard what music Denise & James were using for their Charleston, but it worked brilliantly. Well deserved 10s.

2. Lisa and Nicky were way over-marked, but I thought Louis's scores were about right. He's just not expressive enough when he dances. I sometimes find my mind wandering. Should probably have been a bit higher up on the table though.

3. For tiny people, Dani & Vincent certainly make a big impact. Was unsure if I'd like their Quickstep (because of the song) but the choreography and execution were fab and I ended up loving it. I still worry about them being in the dance-off though because the weaker dancers (apart from Richard) are so popular.

4. It was a better show than last year but I still think Wembley's too big an arena. I'm sure it's a great atmosphere if you're there but it doesn't translate well to the TV screen.

5. I wish Michael & Nat's Latin was as good as their Balroom because they have so much going for them. Glorious American Smooth.

1. Lance the singer was a little off tonight - he forgot half the words to Club Tropicana.
2. I think the leaderboard order was right, but I feel Michael was a teeny bit overmarked (unpopular opinion) and that Lisa was pretty much marked correctly (even unpopular-er opinion).
3. The whole E.T. flying bike thing wasn't quashed by moon being projected behind Victoria.
4. I don't see how the bottom two can't be between Richard and Victoria.
5. Overall, really not the best of shows. And I detest backing dancers!

I thought Lisa and robins samba was awful... Didn't draw me in at all and too samey same as other "side by side " Latin dances! Boring
Nicky and Karen! Fab energy but very flat footed!
Denise and James.. Not the cheeky charleston I expected and extremely overmarked tbh!
Loving Victorias determination ok so it was hardly a paso of Denise's standard but she's really trying and this is what the show is about teaching someone who can't dance how to!
Louis and Flavia odd American smooth disappointing and no need for the gymnastics!
Richard and Erin camp and can't remember I list interest!
Dani and Vincent overmarked
Kim and pasha better samba than Lisa and robin
Best dance for me Natalie and Micheal !!

What happened to 'five thoughts'?

1. I hate the relentless hyperbole of the Wembley show.
2. Which would be more bearable if the show itself wasn't so shambolic.
3. As soon as Lisa's marks were given I thought 'Uh oh'.
4. I actually turned over and started watching other things (bit of Attemnborough, bit of Take Me Out).
5. I'd swap Bruce for Paddy McGuinness tomorrow.

1. I enjoyed the show tonight, I think it's probably better in the studio but it's nice to have it in Wembley for one week
2. I think Lisa and Nicky were definitely overmarked, but after that I'd say I pretty much agree with all the marking
3. It was annoying having Bruce back, I think the show definitely works a lot better with Tess & Claudia as the presenters!
4. I find Richard sooooo annoying, really hope he goes this week
5. Denise's Charleston was AMAZING

1) Blackpool works well as it's home of British ballroom, Wembley does not (although I expect nothing less from BBC's London bias)

2) Lisa is overmarked and looked like a Tequila sunrise in that dress.

3) Denise was brilliant and I'm growing incredibly tired of people banging on about previous experience. She adds a lot to the show and it would be a lot poorer without her.

4) Kimberley danced for her life but it never came alive in the way the Samba should.

5) I'm getting shades of Goughie with Michael and his "journey" now.

1. DO NOT like Wembley - Studio or Blackpool please
2. I like Bruce but prefer it without him
3. Don't think it was the best Charleston ever on Strictly
4. Crappy camera work gave me a headache and singing was dire!
5. Dani and Vincent my favourites, Michael much improved, want Nicky and Victoria to do better, Richard to go please

1. I enjoyed tonight, thought it was much better than last week.
2. Still lots of improvement needed by most of the celebs but I thought there were some really good performances.
3. Denise and James Charleston was very good.
4. Michael only looks good in ballroom when he's in hold, the bit where he was throwing his hands in the air was bad
'shakes head'
5. Loved Vincent's comment about him and Dani being the 'dark pony' rather than the dark horse
