1.Natalie & Artem
Didn't love the lift, not sure the song worked. But the quality of dance was excellent.
2. Abbey & Aljaž
Lovely, her best dance for me.
3. Susanna & Kevin
A little over marked, lacked content ad her solo section looked off. Was decent though.
4. Ashley & Ola
His best dance but his loooong arms/legs spoil it.
5. Patrick & Anya
Solid
6. Mark & Iveta
Kicks were lame but timing was good and fun factor was great.
7. Sophie & Brendan
Her best since the farceston. Still had some hanging on and mistakes.
8. Fiona & Anton
Nearly as boring as the ITT teach a couple section.
9. Ben & Kristina
He's the worst dancer, which is fine - the routine was fun and he tried. But it is what it is.

Ranking on how much I enjoyed them.

1. Susannah and Kevin - just so much flamin' drama and FUN. I bloody loved it.

2. Ashley and Ola - I was oddly thrilled by Ash for the second week running - he really gave it some and it was surprisingly very, very good.

3 Patrick and Anya - loads of energy, a bit all over the shop hands wise, but it was a blast.

4. Natalie and Artem - very clever and well danced. I was anxious though and it failed to deliver enough pleasure.

5.Sophie and Brendan - this was very pleasant, niceley done and charming.

6. Abbey and Alijaz - they never seem to satisfy - the choreo is samey, dull or something, the dances never seem to have great flourishes and pauses or something. It was also messy and overrated.

7. Ben - could hardly remember it - not offensive, not much dancing.

8. Mark - could hardly bear to watch it, I knew he couldn't do it, a bit of fun though I suppose.

9. Fiona - I'm bored to death of her, I could hardly be bothered to watch, but I made myself and it was just the boring same, boring mediocre, blah dull.

1. Susanna & Kevin - Paso Doble
2. Abbey & Aljaž - Quickstep
3. Natalie & Artem - Charleston
4. Ashley & Ola - Paso Doble
5. Patrick & Anya - Samba
6. Sophie & Brendan - Quickstep
