[LIST=1][*]Natalie was fantastic as was Artem's choreography. It was a least as good as Kara/Artem and Rachel/Vincent and both of those scored 39.[*]Susanna was overmarked - again.[*]Sophie was technically good but what does it take to make her smile?[*]Debra left her dragon persona in the den and is so much nicer than I expected. [*]Abbey's jive wasn't good but better than I expected. She was lucky to get it out of the way whilst there are so many bad dancers left in the competition.[/LIST]
Week 3 - 5 Thoughts
6 of 6
6) Final thought- is Aljaz really only 23? I thought he was at least 30! I had no idea someone in their early 20's could be so rugged!

Watching this with my family last night and my mum says he is like Barbie's boyfriend (a Ken doll)
1. All the VT's were a bit sickly.
2. The judges were too nice to everyone.
3. Loved Ben and Kristina's rumba.
4. Loved Ashley and Ola's samba.
5. Can we please stop with the theme weeks.

1. Love the fact I have a different fave each week 
2. Bravo Kristina...HOT performance and got something out of Ben.
3. Silly marking overall, and I must have been watching something else, I thought Sophie's performance was lack lustre and fizzless.
4. Didn't think I would like Deborah - love her zest!
5. I have one more week in me of loving Dave.

1. There were a few enjoyable moments but overall that felt like one big chore to get to Natalie's amazing Rumba.
2. Every week I love Mark and Iveta's partnership more and more. "Stay out of my space or I will crush you." Though I have to admit I enjoyed seeing his lovely house more than his American Smooth.
3. Ben is just the sweetest, most adorable man.
4. I never want to see Rachel's sexy face again.
5. Ashley's chest must be such a huge come down for Darcey after Louis Smith but bless her for pretending to be impressed.

I'm really warming to Deborah
Disappointed by Sophie - she looked bored
Nice to see Anton doing proper choreography again
Good to see so many of the celebs making progress (Rachel/Deborah/Ben)
Ashley and Ola are very cute

1. Love week - more like a cute children competition. I hope they don't do this theme again.
2. I thought Ashley and Ben both looked like contenders this week, not there yet, but that's not necessarily a bad thing at this stage.
3. I love Mark, I love his smile so much he doesn't have to do anything else and I still enjoy watching him, but I thought the VW showed more of his limitations than his previous dances - I was quite worried he'd be in the b2.
4. Shoot me, I felt sorry for Julian. He and Vanessa were the right ones in the b2, but I think he is trying hard and doesn't deserve the level of hate thrown at him.
5. Marking all over the shop. But I think that could make this year quite interesting. I'd say in the past that a key factor in winning in several years was not being 'teacher's pet' - that you need to get quite harsh marking (sometimes quite weirdly harsh marking) while someone else gets forgiven mistakes, etc. But this year almost everyone is getting very generous marking and comments. So maybe 'judges' favourite' won't matter so much this year.

1. Disappointed that James was out so early but it was to be expected with Vanessa as his partner and I do think that, underneath her feisty exterior, lurks a vulnerable lady
2. Pleased to see James and Ola's 10th wedding anniversary was marked
3. Enjoyed the following dances: Natalie, Ashley, Fiona, Susanna and Ben
4. Julien seemed to have improved and I still like his accent
5. Always good to see Mr Bocelli

I thought this, fleetingly, while watching the Goodbye Vanessa VT on the BBC site. I don't remember what she said but she looked relieved that it was over and glad to be free of it. It's hard to go beyond your comfort zone. I'll miss James too. He is a flavour, aniseed maybe. He adds something.
1. Natalie is amazing and I love her dancing
2. Rachel still looks like bambi
3. Ben was infinitely better than I expected but then I didn't expect much god love him
4. Suzanna needs to lamp whoever put that shade of lipstick on her
5. When is Bruce next off?

1. Labe Siffre's original version of " It must be love" would have suited Am.Smooth much better.
2. Abbey and Ben should have been marked same as Sophie.
3. Loving Deborah Meaden more every week
4. Natalie & Artem...a joy to behold, and it should have been 10s all round.
5. The right " dance-offee" was evicted.
