1) A much more enjoyable and improved show this week - loved it! The production, T+C and judges were more refined - my faith in the show was restored.
2) I'm really enjoying watching the middle of the table celebs - Thom, Steve, Sunetra and Mark. It's what the show is about.
3) Great improvement from Judy in terms of performance and personality off the floor - her slide across the floor made me laugh.
4) Well done to Claudia for making a dig at Donny's 10 - if anything good came from it all was much better judging and scores tonight.
5) It seems unfair for anyone other than Tim or Scott to go at this stage and am worried we will lose someone with potential.

1- Thom's journey so far reminds me of Mark Ramprakash

2- Steve's journey so far reminds me of Chris Ollins for some reasons

3-Great show tonight

4- Highlight of the night : Claudia's remark regarding Donny's 10. I LOVE HER

5- Still cant warm up to the top 4 : Jake, Caroline, Pixie, Frankie.

1. Great show tonight. Tess improved a lot too

2. Simon's improvement was great to see. Still not a fan of him and Kristina but definitely my favourite dance of the night.

3. I've changed my mind about Judy. If Scott doesn't go tomorrow I'll do something so bad I'll end up in prison or something

4. Alison's frustrating me. I adore her and she's still one of my favourite contestants but she NEEDS to improve on her technical side. Her footwork looks so lazy.

5. As a fan of Janette regardless, I'm over the moon she has Jake as a partner this series I'm glad the opinion of her is coming across a lot more positively too!

better show this week

Marking odd in places - particularly from Darcy

costume departmemt need to sort out male professional costumes Kevins trousers last week Brendans this

wish every week had minimum props like this week

Claudia is better than Tess

1. frankie - bringing sexy back.... lovely spine...

2. pixie, genuinely made a break through tonight for herself and the audience, that was far more important than the weak points in the dance

3. scott, traumatised and traumatising, they shoot horses don't they, get rid, its just cruel...

4. simon - brilliant charleston, really suited him, great technique and lots of fun,

5. jake- mesmerising, the ability to make all that hard work look like an ordinary bloke doing something extraordinary. got that women love him, men want to be him quality.

Pasha's arse looks good in pink.

I liked Judy jumping into Anton's arms. It surprised me. Also a floor sweep made a comeback.

Brendan put too much contents into his trousers.

Darcy must have lost her 1-4 paddles.

It might have created a sonic boom, but it wasn't a samba, baby.

1. Lovely to get back to normal after last week's craziness.
2. Frankie is in my top two, but she was a little dull tonight.
3. Jake deserved WAY higher marks.
4. Pleased to see Judy improving.
5. Need to start seeing some (proper) 10s.

1.) Claudia's comment about Donny's 10 was fantastic

2.) I don't know what it is about Pixie, but I can't warm to her

3.) Caroline and Jake on the other hand, I really like

4.) Alison is getting dangerously close to becoming Miss 'Fun Fun Fun', I hope she improves on the footwork soon, because I think she can do it.

5.) Even though I have a soft spot for Scott, I think he should be in the Dance Off with Tim. I feel like that would be fair, and if Scott got through his routine without so many mistakes, I honestly don't know who would be saved.

1. I really like Judy & she is improving.

2. I loved Claudia taking the pee out of Donny Osmond.

3. Simon really suited the charleston & looked as though he was having fun for the first time.

4. I loved Karen's dress

5. Natalie looked amazing.

1. Music too loud and overpowering - really off putting
2. Loving Judy's sense of humour
3. Pixie's rumba left me cold, as did the blubbing
4. Some great performances by the middle order - nice mix of people this year
5. Claudia just steals the show

1. Jake is the best all round dancer, putting personality into his performance.
2. I find Pixie and Frankie lack personality. Technically they are good but their dancing lacks character and emotion
3. Claudia speaks over the contestants and has a frantic way of interviewing that is not good to watch.
4.Darcy has become an excellent judge and it feels that she should have been always there

1. How can a DJ have no musicality at all? It's weird.

2. I actually thought Judy was sort of watchable

3. The top 4 dancers didn't really do it for me tonight

4. Supposedly Natalie danced with someone tonight...was he invisible? : )

5. Worried for those in the middle...week 4 with lots of ties could be bad for them.

1. I take back what I said about Tess a couple of weeks ago. I don't think the show needs a bigger name frontman/woman - she was spot on tonight. Claudia is brilliant. Beautifully run show - well done ladeez.

2. I like so many couples this year it's doing my head in. Never have I felt so confused. There's only Caroline & Pixie I feel lukewarm about - I want everyone else to stay, although maybe Scott should be put out of his misery.

3. Jake is a one off. Has there ever been a Strictly celeb with so much unpolished, raw talent?

4. It may be her last year so I'm really pleased to see Ola paired with a celeb she obviously likes so much. She and Steve are a lovely pairing. What a nice man he is, and totally secure in his masculinity - a very attractive characteristic ...........

5. Wardrobe need to realise that skinny trews may be all very well IRL but are not exactly well suited to the dance floor.

That's what I don't get.

Much better without a theme

Tess definitely relaxing into her role but please don't say WE all loved it for each couple

Something odd about the Clauditorium tonight, seemed a bit flat or strained at times

Not sure which was worse, Scott's stumble round the floor or Pixie's blubbing

Jake - another star performance

1 Loved Judy. She's at last relaxed and is enjoying herself. Anton's banter with craig made me laugh.

2 Thom just goes on improving.

3 Jake doesn't do anything for me

4 Alison way overmarked

5 Scott gets worse, which shouldn't be possible.

I think Scott is actually hating this.

I feel like a bitch for saying it but I found the Pixie tears very contrived.

Tim is losing his appeal.

I actually enjoyed Judy, Steve, Thom and Sunetra more than the better dancers Pixie, Frankie and Caroline.

I forgot about Simon.

1. What we're all the tears about Pixie? I try hard to like you but it's all too much for me

2. Jake is the Strictly King for me such raw natural talent.

3. Thom looked completely ridiculous in that cap

4. So two weeks & two trouser malfunctions, get a grip wardrobe

5. Scott is just awful

1. I say this every time but Claudia is brilliant. Loved the comment about Donny's 10.
2. Darcey's marking was umm... strange. Clearly whoever stole her 1-4 paddles is unwilling to return them.
3. Caroline & Alison my favourites tonight. Caroline amazing as always and Alison was just fabulous.
4. Warming to Thom more and more each week. I think he's great and I can't wait to see where he goes next.
5. Still not feeling it with Frankie yet - Pixie went up in my estimations this week though.

1. Judy is once again improving. Yes, the first lift was disastrous but she recovered quite well from it. One thing that I find annoying from her is her face when she's spinning - she looks so uncomfortable. I think she'll probably be safe.

2. Caroline's Quickstep tonight and Tim's Charleston last week are a prime example of why props ARE NOT needed, and don't enhance, only distract from the dance. Caroline looked petrified about tripping over the hoop on the floor. I think her dance would have been much better if it wasn't for that.

3. I really felt for Scott tonight. I've found him quite annoying the last few weeks, but he just looked so lost tonight and so disheartened at the judges scores and comments. I think Joanne's actual choreography was an improvement tonight.

4. The show didn't seem to drag out as much as last week - probably because there was good dancing right from the beginning. I much prefer it when they spread the good ones throughout the show.

5. Thom's dance was odd; I think it was overmarked. It didn't really feel like a Foxtrot, though it was an improvement on his Waltz. Frankie's and Pixie's dances were also odd in that I was expecting a bit more; Frankie in the performance side and Pixie for technique.

One extra point :

6. I think any one of Scott / Tim / Alison / Steve / Sunetra and Mark could be in the dance off.

1. Loved Judy she's improving
2. Loved Trent's choreography
3. Loved Thom
4. Loved Claudia's comments
5. Len - you are full of cliches....

1. Thom is improving so much could be a dark horse
2. Scott is dreadful but it's kind of funny
3. Did someone take Darcy's 1-4 paddle
4. Jake is still the winner for me at the moment
5. I don't find Simon that good

What is wrong with Wardrobe this year? The guys trousers are horrific and what was going on with the top of Caroline's dress - and they seem to have signed for a job lot of Dick Van Dyke costumes.

Scott looks like he just wants to go home.

Claudia is fabulous.

As is Judy.

Don't believe that some of those dances couldn't have been split score wise.

1. Can't warm too Pixie still, also her tears seemed to dry up once she realised she wasn't going to get a perfect moment with her scores etc

2. Felt sorry for Scott. Even though he was terrible I felt he should be praised for his effort a bit more as others were.

3. Waredrobe awful second week of trousers splitting and I am sure the flesh coloured panels such as Alison's and Ola's shouldn't be that noticeable and haven't been in the past.

4. Fav is Caroline but I don't think was as good as she could have been.

5. Not a big fan of Simon but I am pleased that it went well for him today as you can see he really tries and it means a lot.

1. Too many wardrobe malfunctions
2 I think Len got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning and Craig should not criticise Judy when it is not her turn
3. Alison Hammond = Groundhog Day
4. Loved Caroline's Quickstep
5. Scott must go, excruciatingly bad.
