I agree the music makes a dramatic difference...What the hell was the music (if you can call it that) that Natalie and Artem was dancing to...Totally unfair..

Yet again the judges, other than Craig, are ignoring the dancers faults and awarding 10s'as well as performing to the audience. If they cannot judge it properly then let them stand down and let some proper judges in pretty please

Thank you!!!!!! I was trying to think who she reminded me of.

Love Vod, that Charleston, not so much.

Crazy scoring tonight. Did Len ever score under eight?

I didn't enjoy it either, and agree the music was dreadful. I think Artem always seems to try to do "modern" twist on his dances. I like him, but sometimes it would be nice to see him softer.
Natalie is certainly not my favourite.
Susanna tonight was oort of this world.

Or is it the music your voting for...

voted 3 times for Patrick and twice for Ashley! I fear they maybe in trouble if they do unexpectedly get in the bottom 2 with any of the ladies.

I thought it started really well but trailed off a bit. Didn't they have to tone it down a bit because Artem hurt his neck?

Best post of the night so far

All my votes go to Abbey

I can't afford to split my votes at this point

Possibly

Really

I find it hard to think of anyone LESS smug than the well-mannered, self-deprecating Sophie.

But hopefully not in the dance off

With the marks as they are and the expected votes, are we in for a surprise leaving couple or not ... I feel we are?

I agree with this - I felt like Ola and Ash got a raw deal there. I'm pretty sure now that they don't have a lot of control.

I still think Ash did a wonderful job, I was tremendously impressed with him tonight. As good a Paso as Susannah (although not as good as Kevin) but crapper music and harder for him.

Way too much over marking tonight

Agree with you about Sophie ..... now if you are talking smug then Natalie woud have a 10.

Oh why not? The contestants are amateurs learning to dance - some to a very high standard - in a very short amount of time. As Len said, if you look for imperfections, you will find them everywhere. Better to be over generous than ridiculous, I say.

And if we are talking irritating then susanna would score 11

It's going to be left to the public again to sort out the mess the judges have left

I just can't take to the woman, I think she's a bit of a drama queen, but then she's "high profile" BBC, so I'd expect nothing less.

I've just re-wound and re-watched Susanna and Natalie's dances 5 times; I absolutely loved them. Also loved Ashley's but re-watched it just the once. Voted for all 3 of them. And much though I enjoy watching Abbey, those 10s were ludicrous..

How old is Natalie? How can she be exhausted at her age when Susanna is almost twice her age, holds down 2 jobs and has 3 children?

Lovely to see a Blackpool week again. And may Wembley become just a distant, distant memory.

I completely disagree- I thought it was both clever and entertaining to have "Shot Through the Heart" and have it characterised with a cowboy and a saloon girl. I liked Susanna's trad Paso just as much as Ashley's imaginative take. Susanna danced it better, but I voted for both. .

As with most things in life, it's not what happens to you, but how you respond to it. If you're the confident type, you'll respond differently to someone who's overly self-critical. None of us choose our temperaments, but it'd be nice if you could.
