Claudia is amazing on Strictly tonight, who else is enjoying her very funny quirky humour ?

This Is Strictly Come Dancing Not a GURNING Entertainment Show JAKE-More Gimmics For Votes ?

Why Oh Why ???

I was under the impression you thought it was an entertainment show.

I thought it was fab-u-lous!

Not to mention that I found that gurning off-putting !!!
Urghhh !!!!

Jake really needs to control his facial expressions in the dances; They are ODD

It completely put me off right from the start edy, I had to watch with my eyes half closed, it was lucky we weren't turned into stone lol

Jake was fantastic and I don't care what anyone else thinks

I don't like him or Pixie. I just can't warm to them either individually or as a couple.

A Charleston is supposed to have gurning

I thought he looked like Popeye tonight

He is brilliant. Dances with real verve, interesting choreography and is somehow completely alive in everything he does. So hope he comes back. Goodbye Kevin

That is the whole point of the Charleston.

Wacky moves and facial movements to go with.

Yuk No. he looks like he's escaped from a waxworks. he can dance though.

Sorry to me he looked like a marionette not a ringmaster at a circus

I have a feeling he'll be back next year (unfortunately. Not a fan at all) and that his wife will probably take Ola's place when she leaves.

I,m no expert but that,s also what I thought

I thought he looked like a demented donkey And his head seemed to have shrunk into his shoulders. I am a tad bored with him now tbh and think his entertainment value has plummeted along with his dance ability.

The gurning was appropriate, although Jake took it to new proportions of gurniness.

I laughed my flamin' head off. He got two of my votes.

But that wasn't a Charleston.

he seem to be gurning in most of his dances

Well he definitely doesn't float my boat! Much rather have the gorgeous Irish Tristan back next year! lol

Trent has grown on me. At the beginning of the series he was trying "too hard" but as he has settled in and relaxed I think he's a real asset to the show. I really enjoy his choreography and how he works with Pixie.

I'd much rather have the delightful Tristan.

Trent's not my type -- kind of plastic both in looks and personality. However, he's a good dancer so I'd give him another year. It's almost certain he'll be back. So I'd like to see him with an average dancer -- a lady with some potential but who would present him with some challenges.

He is very strange, he gurns away in the dance then off the dance floor he shows as much personality as a piece of 2 x 4 and just seems bored with everything.

I agree with the last poster. I'd be happy to see him back next year with a harder assignment.
