Yes I did. Thank you Nina.
![]() ![]() I think she was slightly undermarked, the technique could have been sharper, but she is very easy to watch and the performance level was excellent for me. Lower than 7 seemed harsh and would have been happy with an 8. |

No worries, just re-read what you wrote a couple of times and then made sense
![]() I think she was slightly undermarked, the technique could have been sharper, but she is very easy to watch and the performance level was excellent for me. Lower than 7 seemed harsh and would have been happy with an 8. This seems true of a lot of her dancing, poor tech lets her down a bit. Not necessarily her fault, which is why I said that Gleb should spend more time on the tech. |

1. If you have a great dance, you don't need to drag you kids into the rehearsal room.
2. Please don't over-sentimentalise with on-stage photos of your late grandparents. 3. Missed the very beginning, so was quite surprised to see Anita's dance was a samba 4. Proper paso music can inspire some sort of performance in even the worst dancers 5. Tess should stop talking to the contestants as though they are 5-year-olds |

I thought her technique was pretty poor. She does look lovely and she gives it umph, but it wasn't a Samba worth an 8 for me.

Wasnt expecting Katie and Anton to be top of the table, their VW was beautiful
Poor Jay, could see the panic in his face in the first 2 seconds he went off on the wrong foot and never recovered liked Carol's paso more than I thought well done Jamelia Still hope Jeremy stays in for a few more weeks |

1) why is Peter never on in the first half of the show?
2) dreadful music choice for Brendan and Kirsty 3) felt for Jay tonight, shame the judges only picked up on his mistakes and that quickstep was jam packed full of content and it was blinking fast! harsh marking from Craig, so he thought that Carol was as good as Jay?? 4) too many tied scores for me liking - do the judges realise they have paddles 1-10? 5) the ladies squealing in the Clauditorium REALLY needs to stop!!!! |

Peter overmarked and overpraised AGAIN.
Katie was great. If Jay was injured, Aliona should have simplified his choreography. Four couples on 32 was a setup, so that Katie could get 33, which she deserved, to go top. Bruno getting nastier than Craig, who is getting nicer. |

1. Most of the music was awful, why why why? There's so much to choose from
2. Did not rate Kevin and Kellie (dull) or Aljaz and Helen as highly as the judges did 3. So happy for Anton and so sad for Jay 5. Great to see improvement from Carol, Ainsley and Jamelia (still not warming to her though) Kirsty not getting any better, she's my favourite to leave this week |

1. I liked Anita more this week.
2. Helen George is annoying me, with her timid act. I bet she is a stroppy diva. 3. Kirsty is the worst contestant left in it. At least some others as bad are likeable. 4. Katie was the best tonight by far. 5. Georgia is still bland despite her best efforts. |

1. Go Anton - go Katie! Wow what a result tonight!
Loved their dance & Katie looked lovely.2. Really enjoyed Georgia's dancing both this week and last. 3. Kellie looked as though she still had her rollers in. ![]() 4. I found Jeremy very entertaining tonight, he's really trying even though he always looks kinda awkward. ![]() 5. Have enjoyed Jamelia's dancing from week one, glad she is finally getting good scores. |

1) Some dreadful music choices yet again. How could anyone dance a Paso to that? Nor was I convinced by Jay's. And I cannot help but think that people dancing the waltz would find it easier if the drummer and bassist gave them a recognisable waltz rhythm.
2) Scoring less erratic than usual. Only one we didn't pretty much guess was Carol (see (3). 3) Though Carol was robbed. That dance was a revelation - attitude, movement, musicality. But she only got faint praise and poor scores. Deserved better. 4) Can't make my mind up over Jay. Is he as some would have it the "ringiest ringer ever" on Strictly, all the way to faking nerves and introducing convenient errors so as not to lose public support for being too good. Or is he exactly what he appears to be - a guy with a lot of dance training (so excellent balance, coordination, spotting etc) who is being very well trained and choreographed but perhaps overpushed? 5) Yay, Anton! So pleased for him. (That number is a nine, Anton. In case you don't remember as I'm sure it's been a while) In Ballroom she is mightly. So I'm torn between hoping they avoid the Samba or Rumba for a while (the remaining dances of death) or hope they get them out of the way now whilst there are still some not-so-good dancers around. |

1: Anita is fading for me. I thought her Samba looked better in training. I loved her week one, but each week feel a bit less excited by her
2: knew Katie would rock the VW 3: really loved GGs QS and Jamelias Charleston was Fab 4: Claudia is one of the best bits about the show. 5: Gutted for Jay. Hopefully has eased a bit of the pressure though. I think that QS would have been so good without the mistakes. |

1) The standard is very high across the board - everybody is improving.
2) Kirsty lacks musical timing and Brendan keeps lifting her and throwing her around. Jeremy was dreadful with a smile. 3) Thought Anton was trying to make a point that he was right last week and so he went tearing ahead with his waltz - but somehow Katie rose to the challenge. He needs to get help with the latin dances because Katie is good enough to win (with the right development). 4) Loved Georgia & Giovanni - I think Giovanni has really upped his game having been taken down a peg or two last week. I think that was the kick up the behind needed - they could become serious contenders for the win. 5) Jay and Aliona's choreography was incredibly tough on Jay. First out of hold running around the entire floor then into hold and going at a million miles per hour filled with content. Jay just wasn't quite with it in the timing and seemed to be sliding around on landing. But he kept it going rather than completely falling apart. |

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. Not happy about the' staged scoring' so Anton was on top, albeit I liked their dance very much. Can Anton get some assistance on the Latin from a pro who is no longer competing? Or from Erin?
2. VTs are just getting worse. 3. Happy for Katie, Carol and Jamelia for their lovely dances. 4. Tired of the judges talking up Peter, he is not that good, too jerky. 5. Loved all the angels in the Claudiatorium.

1. Who the hell could paso to Beautiful Day?? Well...not Kirsty anyway.
2. Has the person who has Bruno's tranqs gone on holiday? Sit down you fool. 3. Perhaps Jay slipped on the copious amounts of sweat dripping from Gleb and Giovanni... 4. Why does Carol always sound like she is reading a weather script? 5. Kellie looks older and older every week. |
