1) A thoroughly enjoyable show this week with fair scoring and my goodness letting Anton close the show and being at the top!
2) Great improvement from Carol and have voted for her. I wish she would show more of her upbeat personality.
3) Good improvement also from Jamelia and Ainsley (voted for him too) - think both will manage to avoid the dance off.
4) Kirsty banging on about wanting to just improve each week is annoying and the judges were too kind to her.
5) Like last week, I had another flashback to SCD 2010 with Helen's Salsa song - nothing will top that stumble from Pamela's.

1/ The big players were all on top form tonight with the exception of Jay. Very high quality show.
2/ Kirsty seems a bit of a sore loser. Would like her to go next.
3/ Favourite dance was Katie's VW - gorgeous!
4/ Loving the addition of Gleb and Giovanni more and more each week. Their personalities are really coming through now and they bring the fun factor as well as the eye candy
5/ In contrast to the judges I thought Helen looked a bit awkward tonight, but hey - what do I know!

1) Kellie and Jamelia squealed so much the eldery German couple living upstairs rushed to the air raid shelter.
2) Blue Monday is probably responsible for my hearing loss and just reminds me of being drunk on my dads moonshine at parties as a teenager.
3) Natalie looked amazing tonight.
4) Helen and Aliaz' performance was the dance of the night for me
5) Spotted Laura Main in the audience. I have a huge crush on her and would love to see her on Striclty. Actually, they should do a CTM Strictly special - past and present cast (just to make sure Jessica Raine is included). I would partner Miranda with Giovanni and give them a Rhumba.

1. So so happy for Katie and Anton.
2. The scoring and VTs were bizarre as usual.
3. Great improvement from Jamelia and Ainsley.
4. I don't think Peter is that great to be honest.
5. I think Kirsty might go this week.

1) Jamelia hugely undermarked; deserved at least 34, really really fab Charleston.

2) Jay utterly disintegrated.

3) Giovanni getting praise for his choreography when it looked to me like Georgia spent 30 seconds doing the same step over and over and over and...

4) Carol's Paso Doble was strangely compelling.

5) #YearOfTheAnton

1. Lots of innuendo tonight.
2. Liked Tess's hair and Claude's jumpsuit.
3. Liked Aljaz and Gleb's open shirts
4. First PA dance that I've liked.
5. Helen and Aljaz were probably my favourites this evening.

1) Well done Katie & Anton - brilliant performance and she just oozes elegance in a ballroom dress

2) Growing on Jamelia as a person and as a dancer, I enjoy her getting her results

3) I hope I am wrong but I feel like Jeremy is in trouble tonight

4) Will Tess ever say salsa correctly, SULSA drives me insane

5) Kirsty...Zzz

CTM = Call The Midwife? If so you're in luck - they're doing a SCD special segment for Children In Need.

1. I feel so sorry for Jay - OK there were mistakes but I feel the judges were too harsh on him, had that dance happened a week ago I suspect they would have scored it higher but it fell short of their expectations.

2. 9 for Georgia - the same as Jay's Jive last week. Has someone hidden Len's pills again?

3. Too many ties at the top end of the leader board means the duff dancers end up getting more points than they should. I fear this won't end well.

4. Peter Andre on near the end. AGAIN.

5. Peter Andre being told he's brilliant when he isn't. AGAIN.

1. Stop showing off Gleb. It isn't/or shouldn't be all about you.

2. Two paso's but unfortunately only one lot of paso music. Who chose Kirsty's 'music'?

3. Len thought Georgia's dance was the equal of Jay's. Back to the bad old days.

4. Judges suddenly find something wrong with Jay a week after handing him the competition - what a surprise! I wonder when they will get the all clear to start giving him 10's again? '5 is solid'. You little liar Jay.

5. Imagine what Katie might be like if she had a partner who could both dance and teach latin. Despite topping the leaderboard for the third week in four her marks didn't seem to quite match the comments.

1. I felt Anita was undermarked .

2. Has Tess stopped pointing out the bloomin obvious now - no more - they're on their feet ( thank goodness )

3. Didnt like Helen's outfit at all - more frills and flounce would have worked better imo and didnt really enjoy her performance, even though I can appreciate she is good

4. Kirsty does not come across well - surely everyone wants to improve ? still, am expecting her to depart this week

5. As always, the irritating VTs and no real training views which are far more interesting

1) Fantastic evening - this series has been such a breath of fresh air compared to the low-rent, low-quality misery of last year

2) ANTON! Who knew he had that level of choreography in him?

3) Daniel is wonderful. An average (at best) dancer, but a totally compelling watch. I demand a Samba and Paso before we boot him.

4) Jamelia was a revelation. It was a wonderful routine and I hope enough to save her this week. More of this ilk, please.

5) Kellie and Helen's dances leave me feeling strangely cold - and I say that as someone who was ecstatic at hearing Kellie had signed up. I think I need to just deal with the fact I don't like Kevin's choreo.

1. Jeremy i love you
2. Why does Bruno have to be cocky in his comments, its so irritating
3. My heart broke for Jay. Saw the panic in his face!
4. Peter better be on during the first half next week
5. I am so happy for Jamelia because she is genuinley overwhelmed

Also - Helens outfit looked like a cheap sexy nurse costume you would find in the back of ann summers

1) Jay's performance brought the Judges ridiculous marking into sharp focus for me - only as good as Carol and Daniel??? If they marked the bad dancers lower they'd have more room to maneuver if a stronger dancer has issues with a far more technical routine.

2) Some of the music choices were dire - a Paso Doble to It's A Beautiful Day? A Quickstep to Reach for the Stars?

3) Claudia was fantastic tonight; her quirkiness really compliments the show.

4) Please Please Please PLEASE bring back the 'straight' training VTs!

5) I haven't earthed my grind in quite a while.

1) Having said in the unpopular opinions thread that I think the singers tend to be rather hit or miss - I am happy to be able to say that I thought they were really good tonight! It makes such a difference, so very well done to tonight's line-up!

2) I thought Kellie & Kevin's dance was rather sweet. I still don't really like the partnership, but tonight's dance was lovely, such a gentle air to it.

3) I'm really glad Jamelia did well! Hope she's safe.

4) I hope Daniel survives the vote, but I agree with the judges that I'd love to see him stop playing it so safe. Jeremy is also a favourite of mine, and part of his charm is that he doesn't have a safety setting - he just goes for it! Daniel could learn from him, and I hope he does!

5) I love Claudia.

1) The show started a little flat for me with Anita being undermarked (being followed by Daniel O'Donnell never helps), but it really picked up towards the end.

2) The whole show went Latin-Ballroom-Latin! Just like the good old days! Except with Jeremy Vine in a shower cap!

3) I was baffled by Jamelia and Helen's (and to some extent, Georgia and Carol's) scores too, but I'm past complaining about the judges at this point. Apart from just now. And apart from on point 1.

4) I wasn't particularly annoyed by Tess or any of the judges, scores aside. Tis a Christmas miracle.

5) I have no fifth point. Oh yes, I do. Kirsty to go. #yearoftheanton

1. Really liked jamelia and tristans charleston. No too gurney and twee and she looked amazing

2. Anton & Katie deservedly at the top

3. Carol's paso was a lot better tan I thought it would be

4. Kirsty isn't getting any better and clearly doesn't understand why. Not sure if Brendan can do much more with her

5. The music, dear god the music!!!! Do they just stick pins in iTunes or something???

1.)Anita I feel was underscored yet again this week, knew it was coming.. Thought it was worthy of at least all 7s and a couple of 8s maybe

2.)Kellie & Kevin bored me rigid but I often find the Foxtrot to be a very forgettable dance

3.)Kirsty to go home this week, terrible music choice, terrible choreography, terribly danced.

4.)Lovely improvement from Carol

5.)Jamelia a revelation, lovely to see her as the most improved thus far, happy for Tristan and I love how emotional she gets when she gets her scores.

1) Anton's reaction to being top of the leaderboard and Brendan crawling over to him was so cute!

2) Felt Anita was undermarked (again) and hope people vote for her as she's in a dangerous position on the leaderboard.

3) So many 32s from the judges!

4) TPTB really need to let the pros have more say in the music choices, some of them were terrible.

5) Jamelia is really suited to the Charleston and I'm glad that she enjoyed it and got a great score, but not sure how she'll do in future ballroom dances.

1) Is there anyone who doesn't now fast forward through the VTs? The only that was quite watchable was Anita's, as she was doing something real. The others are just pathetic.

2) Kirstie is so unlikeable. But I have to admit, that song was a stinker. She's going home.

3) After last week's nastiness, are the producers now allowing Giovanni to show his genuine, and charming personality, rather than an Italian stereotype? Theirs was the most difficult dance.

4) A stumble from Jay, but no way deserving of a five. But that's the "story" that the producers have chosen to put them on. Louis Smith anyone? And does that mean acting lessons by week 7?

5) I like Katie, but that waltz wasn't quite as good as everyone was making out. But again, producers forcing a fairytale ending to the night.

1. Anita is in a dangerous position. Being first on and middle of the leaderboard is a dangerous place to be!

2. Some strange music choices this evening. U2 for a Paso?

3. Felt so sorry for Jay. He was always going to have a hard time living up to that jive last week!

4. Helen looked like a 16 year old at a mates house party dressed in an Ann Summer's dress up costume.

5. So lovely to see Anton be top of the leaderboard, for the first time in a million years!

1. Tonight fell rather flat for me, not sure why seeing as pretty much everyone improved massively.

2. Jamelia's charleston was fantastic. Sadly even if she produces dances like that every week she won't be making the final.

3. Jay's quickstep was all over the place. The cynic in me is still suspicious that this is all part of his 'journey'. I can't see anyone else winning but him.

4. Katie and Anton another highlight of the evening, Anton just needs to address their shortcomings in the latin. That said if they can avoid Samba/salsa then she shouldn't come up against any other potential dance disaaaasters.

5. Cannot believe Daniel O'Donnell is only in his early 50's. He plods around the dancefloor like a man twenty years older. Musicality will only get him so far, he lacks any kind of entertainment factor for me and wouldn't be sad to see him go.

1) I've actually grown to quite like Daniel, lovely sense of humour.

2) I enjoyed Jamelia and Helen the most this evening.

3) Claudia and Aliaz's little doctor sketch made me laugh out loud.

4) Good to see Carol improve this evening.

5) Jay has totally won me over, I think he's adorable and right now I can't see any other winner.
