1. Much more enjoyable show this week, thank gawd, but very sad news about Natalie.

Hope she recovers in time for Blackpool, and dances their Jive.
2. Thought Bruno was going to give Ashley the kiss of life when he was sprawled out over the judge's desk.
3. I feel so sorry for Fiona, she has dancing abilities, but is with the wrong partner. I hope this is Anton's final series as a pro, he is just not up to it anymore. That music for a Paso was truly horrific, and the Orchestra's version of it sucked bigtime and ruined any hope of a decent Paso, though Fiona could've danced a good one given half a chance.
4. Wardrobe is not covering itself in glory this series - too hit and miss IMO - with some very unflattering costumes. They need to make alterations after a dress run if necessary, so have it a day earlier - unrealistic, I know. But it's a shame when wardrobe malfunctions affect a routine.
5. Patrick and Anya! WOW! Stunning choreography, IMO Anya's performance was the best of any pro so far this series, she was alight with charisma and energy and style. LOVED that AS, classic Hollywood choreo - Hermes Pan would've been proud of that one! Lovely comments from Natalie Lowe on Twitter too!
