1. Too many 10's

2. Suddenly I like Simon!

3. Pixie and Trent were awesome

4. Hope Judy goes this week

5. The Tower Ballroom is amazing!

1/ Simon just gets better and better. And he looks happier and happier when not dancing too.
2/ Caroline really needs a decent dress
3/ I wish they'd turned the lights up a bit so I could see more of what was going on
4/ Roman costume looks good on Trent
5/ I'm SO over Steve endlessly waving his muscles

1. Some awful music choices (whatever that was that Mark and Karen danced to).
2. Some brilliant music choices (Roxanne!)
3. I am bored of Steve and Ola now.
4. I am also bored of Caroline and Pasha.
5. Judy was a total joy.

1. BIB best comment of the whole thread, made me howl!
2. Really enjoyed the show, the Tower Ballroom is qorgeous
3. Disappointed in the performances from Sunetra, Jake and Steve
4. I totally love Trent!
5. Time to go Judy and this could be a good one to go out on

1. Totally fed up of the Judge's daft entrance this year, it is entirely cringeworthy and last night was mega cringeworthy!

2. Len is really getting on my nerves now, what was he pointing at Darcy for and mouthing at Tess about at the end of Frankie's dance? He is grumpy and bores me senseless, the only judges I am interested in are Craig and Darcy,

3. Zoe has brought a different dimension to ITT which makes it unmissable, and is now bringing that absolutely infectious passion about all things Strictly to the main show. Anton should have replaced Brucie and Zoe has definitely shown she has the je ne sais quoi to outshine Tess. Tess is a lovely lady, but it just feels a bit "awkward" whereas Zoe can make me laugh naturally.

4. The magic of Blackpool SCD......what a superb production, from absolutely everybody from the tea lady upwards, Superb!!!

5. I really hope Judy goes tonight - I have joined the Judy fan club in that I would never have expected that stern faced Lady I have seen at Wimbledon have such a fabulous sense of humour, her smile can light up darkness, and she is truly lovely......bit has dined out enough on that now and these last few weeks we really need to have the real nitty gritty.

6. a sneaky one - I think the order of eliminations from hereon could actually be predicted as the group have settled very much into a position which I think is a reasonably accurate reflection of where they should be. No space now for error!!

1. Simon and Kristina, best dance of the night.
2. Mark keeps getting better
3. Enjoyed Caroline's jive, full of bounce
4. Len's potty mouth - oh dear, oh dear, oh dear indeed.
5. Trent dressed as a donkey in a specially adapted onesy - comedy gold

1. I'm going to need an 'I love Trent' t-shirt soon. His choreography is so good!
2.Caroline is still my favourite.
3. Steve is OK but I thought his dance was incredibly boring tonight - surprised the judges liked it as much as they did.
4. Happy for Simon climbing the leader board after being in the dance-off twice. He just can't stop talking though, can he?!
5. Next to go, Steve, Sunetra, then Mark, in that order.

1. Simon's the best male celeb dancer this year. I hope he makes the final.

2. Sunetra's disbelief at the scores she got ('We got an 8 for that!') made me laugh. Even she realised her Samba was pretty dire.

3. Pixie's Paso: rather bonkers but brilliant. Loved the sustained fierceness with which she attacked it.

4. The backing dancers were all too often a distraction and an annoyance. At one point they almost blocked our view of Pixie and Trent and had me exclaiming 'Get out of the bl**dy way'.

5. Judy's shown herself to be tremendously likeable but it was the right time for her to go, both for herself and the show IMO.

I'm only watching it now and I'm thinking of leaving it for later as the back up dancers are a distraction bigtime and are getting in the way to tell how well the celeb dancers are doing!

1) Zoe definitely brings zing to the presenting.

2) Tess realises this and feels threatened. I noticed Tess kept trying to stand in front of Zoe and Zoe kept moving to the side.

3) Sunetra will be in the dance off again next week unless she miraculously raises her game.

4) Trent is very cute but looks rather like a puppet.

5) Why did Alison have to turn up in Blackpool? I know that last week she said she was going to but couldn't she just accept she's been eliminated rather than be a hanger-on?.

1. Really dodgy marking
2. Loved Judy but her time was up. Lovely lady though
3.Len needs to learn how to behave
4. Zoe is brilliant
5. Still not blown away by anyone yet

1. What has Caroline done to upset wardrobe and hair depts? Every week I despair.
2. Judy, however has had some gorgeous dresses. Must be the shortbread she passes round.
3. The end of Simon's routine was astonishing
4. Pixie reminds me of Tess behind the eyes
5. Mark is beginning to irritate me - very contrived behaviour at times

1 - Everyone seemed very hyped up - like a room full of children after a party where they've had waaaay to much sugar
2 - That includes the judges - loads of overmarking this week - to have 8 couples who scored more than 30 seems a bit excessive - they are good, but not that good
3 - Zoe continues to show Tess how it should be done - she is very natural where Tess is much more stilted, but to be fair to Tess her bits are probably more scripted where Zoe can just go with the flow
4 - It was nice for Judy to go out on a high (no pun intended!) - that was far and away her best dance and her dress and leaving speech were both lovely
5 - Have we ever reached this point before where half the couples have been in the dance off

She might have just wanted to see Blackpool or support the friends she made on the show

1. Trents choreography
2. Yes Craig, you can do a spin, we get it....
3. Trent
4. Overmarking - started with Sunetra, then the judges had no where but 9s and 10s to go.
5. Have I mentioned Trent and his brilliant choreography? I hope they sign him up again next year!
