Wasn't he great! I have said from the first show that Mark is the dark horse of this series. I love his enthusiasm, he seems a really genuine guy, and he works so hard.

I would love to see him lift the Glitter Ball this year.

1. Can Aljaz dress like that every week please (preferably without bringing Alison along).
2. I liked Trent's trousers.
3. Please let Alison or Scott go this week.
4. It was a shame Steve went wrong - I think it could have been a great charleston routine.
5. The music - OMG the music! Especially for the paso dobles and tangos.

1. The singers were terrible this week - what a racket.
2. Scott didn't do much dancing at all - just plodded around and was danced around
3. Zoe did a fantastic job and I would love her and Claudia to do it permanently
4. Judy was as bad, if not worse, than her first week
5. Simon was much better tonight

Second only to the Daily Mail's comments section every time they run an article on Kim Jong / fat dictator with mad hair from North Korea that has to be the funniest thing I've read all year......not least because it's so true.

Me too! he is so keen to do well and he has improved hugely. I felt sorry reading an article in which he said his Mum and girlfriend laugh at him. She likes to be top dog in their relationship, I guess she is jealous of his success. keep at it Mark hope we see yu in the final.

Some great costumes but the dances were disappointing

Marks improvement over the last two weeks has been a joy to see

They should never try to use live animals on the show again

Jake takes himself too seriously

Alison irritates me

1. Caroline's my favourite and that won't be changing any time soon but for the first time this series her dance didn't do it for me. Didn't expect her marks to be that high but as I love her, I was pleasantly surprised.
2. Most of the weaker dancers still left I'd be disappointed to see them go - really like Judy and Alison.
3. Surely it's got to be Scott's time to go. I loved him the first couple of weeks but it's getting a bit same old now.
4. Loved the costumes and make up. The bright outfits and the afros on HD a bit of a shock for the eyes though!
5. The dog thing was a bit of a disaster but I can't help but feel that could have gone MUCH worse.

1) Some odd music & dance combinations.
2) Some fabulous costumes.
3) Some sterling efforts by the singers.
4) Some over marking.
5) Some quirkiness missing without Claudia.

1. It's tough when the ones you've got a soft spot for have a poor night. Sunetra confirmed the Jive's not for her. Steve, even without the forgotten steps, didn't have any swivel going on and the lifts aren't doing it for me anymore. And it looked like Janette and Jake didn't get round to his Paso shaping.

2. Credit where credit's due, Mark pulled off a decent Jive. But I thought the 9s were excessive and there's still something about him I find a bit false. Just my impression.

3. The two Tangos were tied for me. Completely contrasting styles but equally well performed and exciting to watch. I think Frankie benefited from the staging of hers - being lifted into the air at the end made it seem bigger and more dramatic and out came the 10 (did make me chuckle when they rubbished Donny's 10!).

4. Hair, make-up and wardrobe surpassed themselves. Halloween looks but with style (mostly).

5. Struggling to come up with a 5th...oh good on Zoe for stepping in and doing a fine job.

1. Hope that Claudia's child will recover soon from their illness.
2. Think that Sunetra was a bit undermarked (especially after seeing it again, it was definitely better then last year's Halloween jive from SEB)
3. Seems like Mark is going with the Abbey storyline this year, which might be a problem for someone like Jake.
4. Actually liked Pixie's dance best, I think.
5. Darcey really needs to get a grip on her scoring (the following people all received a 7 from her: Jake, Sunetra, Steve & Alison).

naughty 6. The wardrobe (uhhmm....make-up) department really knows how to show off Sunetra's.......eyes very well

1) Says everything about Scott that I was actually impressed at him clicking his fingers in time to the music...
2) And the fact his routine was my most enjoyable of the night says everything about tonight's show
3) Frankie is even prettier painted green
4) Spreading my (free only) votes ended last week...serious business starts tonight
5) I hope Alison gets an upbeat latin next week, last night's (checks time) routine left me humming "Stately as a Galleon" for the rest of the evening.

She only has the salsa left, so assuming she survives tonight, that might be her mealticket into Blackpool (though it is only a 1 in 7 chance).

1. Hair, make-up & costumes were fantastic. Well done to all concerned .
2. Normally love Caroline & Pasha, but they didn't leave me with goosebumps this week
3. Scott tries hard......I would now like to see him try hard to do something else......ANYTHING ELSE!
4. Frankie is so pretty & my new girly crush. She dances quite well too
5. I'm still finding it hard to like Mark & it is colouring my view on his dancing.

1. Caroline was the best dancer tonight
2. When I see Pixie and Frankie, I see two stage schooled trained dancers
3. Jake was undermarked as was Caroline
4. Mark is improving. I like to see some real progression. That is what the competition is about
5. Show wasn't great tonight

1. Horrendous music choices.
2. As a result, both Paso Dobles suffered from ill suited music. They both seemed to have to speed up to suit the music.
3. Steve over marked for continuous errors. Nice guy but still wasn't right with marks.
4. Thought Allison looked genuinely hurt by the comments tonight. I think she thought she nailed it.
5. I was happy for Mark's success until Karen's grotesque reaction to the scores. That was nauseating. She and Kevin smack of desperation for the Glitterball.

1. Mark's dance left me feeling the happiest.
2. Joanne choreographed a very clever routine.
3. How can you look even more beautiful with your face painted green?
4. Frankie's dance looked much more like a tango with the sound muted (seriously).
5. I had to go back to iPlayer to remember what Caroline danced.

1. Worst. VTs. Ever. Real step backwards in that regard.
2. Dogs could have been much worse, should have been with a trained handler vs a trained dancer...
3. Hair and make-up great, music choices restrictive.
4. Caroline, Frankie and Mark were having a good night.
5. As lots of mid-table celebs having off-nights, I think GBP will step in to help, should not be shocker result tonight.

1. The makeup and costumes were nearly all fantastic
The dance routines were nearly all rubbish too many forgotten steps and inappropriate music >:usually love Halloween week but this show was very disappointing

2. Joanne did well, this was the best I've seen Scott look (first time he's not made me cringe!)

3. Mark was a bit over marked, (no pointing of the feet) but defiantly in the top three tonight.

4. Both paso's were bad, no shaping, but Simon's was better than Jake's (jumping rather than stepping with intent)

5. Frankie and Pixie nailed their Tangos, but music for Pixie's was bad. Frankie's was worth the ten for me, best dance of the night by far, Pixie 9 Mark 8.

You are aware that Caroline has also had ballroom dance training, having won a televised competition in ballroom dancing (sort of)? I know she's your favourite and all, but taking off your rose-tinted spectacles for just a second should show you that she's no less guilty than the other two, yet you keep slagging them off.

When I see Caroline, Frankie and Pixie, I see three exceptionally talented dancers who are making this competition a lot more competitive than it would've been without them, but maybe that's just me.

1. Alijaz's trousers..........I had dreams about them last night
2. Alison looked so pretty. I think she would be stunning if she lost weight.
3. Steve was my favourite but that was awful and he was the worst of the night.
4. Strangely, I quite enjoyed Scott.
5. Frankie leaves me cold.

My five thoughts which I am entitled to.

1) No doubt about it Steve is a lovely guy, but that is no reason to over-mark him so ridiculously!

2) I fear Jake may have peaked too early

3) Caroline was under-marked

4) After initially surprising myself by really liking Mark I am starting to find him rather irritating.

5) Frankie deserved the first 'real' ten of the series

1. Impressed with Ola's hair.
2. Loving how much Mark is enjoying it.
3. hopefully that is Jake's bad dance out of the way.
4. Getting a bit bored of the lovely Alison now.
5. I actually enjoyed Frankie (she normally leaves me cold).

1) love Halloween week
2) such a shame Steve forgot his moves, that could of been a great dance
3) how amazing was Frankie deserved more than 1 ten.
4) Stop crying Mark for the love of God
5) didn't think the singer's were to bad tonight, was preparing myself for them to totally murder one of my favourites (Wuthering heights) but it wasn't that bad. (no where near Kate though

1. Poor dogs.

2. 'Donny' - the Mormon former pop star who just keeps on giving. Yeah, baby.

3. Well done Zoe.

4. Jake out-danced by Mark for the second week running,

5. Scoring - oh la la
