And Sunetra is one of my favourites. Feel like they pushed her under a tram this week. I also feel cheap and dirty that I was very swayed by Pasha looking adorable and doing acting.

I actually enjoyed Judy's dance more than Steve, Mark and Sunetra's but she's obviously the worst dancer.

1. Frankie and Kevin
2. Simon and Kristina
3. Mark and Karen
4. Pixie and Trent
5. Jake and Janette
6. Caroline and Pasha
7. Sunetra and Brendan
8. Steve and Ola
9. Judy and Anton

This is my personal preference. Jake and Janettes lifts were spectacular but the little dancing their was just alright for me, whereas I know Pixie and Trent are technically excellent but their dance just didn't "grab" me.

1. Simon & Kristina
2. Pixie & Trent
3. Mark & Karen
4. Jake & Janette
5. Frankie & Kevin
6. Caroline & Pasha
7. Steve & Ola
8. Sunetra & Brendan
9. Judy & Anton

I was sorely tempted to put Sunetra & Brendan last as I really didn't like their dance at all and Judy at least made me laugh. The top 4 are very close for me, Frankie didn't have as much wow factor and I'm completely confused as to how Caroline ended up so high up the leaderboard - I was very underwhelmed by her jive.
