9. Fiona & Anton

1. Susanna & Kevin's paso - Have been so STARVED for pasos that actually felt like pasos over the past couple of series that I'm probably over-rating this terribly but I don't care.

2. Sophie & Brenda's quickstep - she was pretty much just sprinting around like Usain Bolt by the end but I enjoyed it a lot. Only slight downer is that it felt very similar to Brendan's quickstep with Victoria last year.

3. Ashley & Ola's paso - got a little drowned by the theming but I liked his acting of it and it was nice to see an Ola Jordan rock tango/paso actually sort of work for a change.

4. Mark & Iveta's jive - DINOSAUR!

5. Natalie & Artem's charleston - the music, staging and choreography almost killed it for me. It felt like I was having to pick out Natalie's dancing from a whole load of extraneous crap and it was a bit of a struggle.

6. Ben & Kristina's American Smooth - I thought he was quite good, for him, at the bits she let him do. Which wasn't enough.

7. Abbey & Aljaz's quickstep - bored the tits off me to be honest

8. Patrick & Anya's samba - embarrassing but I enjoyed Anya's manic overdancing trying to cover him up.

9. Fiona & Anton's American Smooth - didn't really look she knew what she was doing at all, and Anton phoned the choreography in.

1. Susanna. But mainly for the theming. If I'm totally honest, she did a little too much skirt-wafting for my likes. But the mood and characterisation were good!
2. Patrick. Most Sambas, especially male Sambas, are virtually unwatchable. There were some messy moments, but it's a decent job with a hard dance. I'm going to sound like Len, soon, aren't I?
3. Ashley. On reflection, I didn't like the theming, but I thought his execution of the routine was pretty decent. So I'm giving credit for that; I liked his Tango too, so there's probably an overlap here.
4. Sophie. Her second-best dance behind the Charleston! She looked like she was into it for once. The downside is that she was being dragged around and pushed around quite a bit.
5. Natalie. Probably her worst dance - the song choice detracts for me. It's the 'bang... bang... bang... b-b-bang-bang-b-bang-bang-b-b-bang-bang' bits. Empty flow. Or something. Plus, I think she had to take it a bit easy (which I totally respect) and my expectations of her are very high, and she didn't quite meet those this time. Not to worry, there's always next time.
6. Abbey. I mean, it wasn't bad or anything, but it was a bit repetitive (not her fault) and there were enough imprecise moments that it just didn't quite do it for me. Good, but not great.
7. Mark. Fun and energetic... but not a Jive. Never a Jive.
8. Fiona. Stately and a little tepid. Just meh.
9. Ben. Just... lacking. It's the same every week, and it's frankly boring.

Fiona & Anton - American Smooth
Abbey & Aljaž - Quickstep
Mark & Iveta - Jive
Susanna & Kevin - Paso Doble

Same order want Natalie out :S

1. Sophie & Brendan - just really fun to watch, she seemed to be enjoying it and loved Brendan's choreography - too low on leader board for me
2. Susanna & Kevin - loved it, bit put off by Susanna's face and false modesty with Tess - deserved 40!
3. Abbey & Alijaz - very fun, great to see her smile, lovely song
4. Ben and Kristina - very cute, best he's danced so far
5. Natalie & Artem - Nice to watch but couldn't connect, something missing from it. I think her personality and previous training is stopping me from really enjoying her dances
6.Ashley & Ola - Looked a bit like a child dancing in a weird way? Still like him though
7. Fiona and Anton - Thought bits of it were good
8. Patrick & Anya - just find him and his routines dull, just cannot get into them, he was overmarked and quite heavy footed
9. Mark and Iveta - he needs to go, comedy aspect has gone and shown up his true capabilities, no jiving at all
