1) Ashley & Ola were the only couple to produce a clear wow factor entertaining dance.
2) Ashley & Ola got the biggest standing ovation for their dance (& dance off).
3) Bruce was missed. He is very aware of audience reaction and would have supported Ashley against the picky and pedantic comments of the Judges.
4) Ashley was robbed.
5) Darcey overmarks Patrick
6) Suzanne is out of her depth at this level.
7) Sophie has plateaued.
8) Natalie & Artem need to get the energy shown in their jive swingathon into their main dance.
9) Crotch to Head show stopper.
10) Floor to shoulder perch lift.
IMO

I like Chris Hollins' nickname for her "Olachops".

There are others too for example; "Sergeant Major Rhianoff" (probably the best choreograher of the lot!). I am sure other names will emerge if they haven't already.

Thanks. Susanna is 43 today infact!

I thought they were a couple of years each further apart. Even so, anything more steamy would have been a bit unsavoury before the watershed!

Not necessarily.

I have friends, also form Gillingham, and when we first met she congratulated me on pronouncing her Swedish name correctly first time and that her husband (standing next to her) had never done so in 30 years of marriage.

I always liked Austin's "Miss Whiplash" for Erin. don't know if that's a long-standing nickname, but it made me laugh.

Indeed. But on the overwhelming balance of probabilities (i.e. nearly all husbands can pronounce their wive's names correctly) James has the correct pronunciation, I would guess!

Depends on where they met and if the husband can speak the wife's language with a reasonable pronunciation. I can think of several examples where the couple met in England and the husband can't pronounce his own wife's name reasonably well.

This is a Polish pronunciation nobody has seen fit to disagree with by uploading a new one.

I have not noticed how James pronounces it.

He pronounces it like "dollar" as opposed to Tess's "bowler".

Finding it ever increasingly difficult to call now getting to the business end of the competition

Do not warm to Natalie at all, technically excellent but somehow lacking in the joy of performance

No need for Len to be so grumpy and spiteful on a family show

Found the swingathon a waste of time, too short and contestants thrown off too quickly

Miss the comedy element of Mark and Dave

.....and someone on D.S. called it the 'Swingathong', which is a whole other programme!!

1 Artem's choreography has been disappointing. He needs to do the dance he has been given.
2 Disliked Susanna's AT. The music ruined it.
3 The swing-a-thon is away the judges can manipulate the score board. Patrick should not have been 2nd. He was awful.
4 Could not see Abbey's feet.
5 Claudia is fantastic. I think she is better than Tess.

Tess' "bowler" is a horror. But it depends on how "dollar" is pronounced.

"ar" as in "sir" seems far from the Polish pronunciation I linked to above.

"ar" as in Dolla' (in Estuarine) as in "are" or "ah" would be closer to the Polish.
