James Jordan tweeted about the scripted VTs during the show tonight:

I remember how long it took out of dance training time to do those silly VT's

2. I've really taken against Kellie and I didn't expect to, but the OTT performing and banshee-like shrieks are too much. My 8-year-old self (who was OBSESSED with T-bag) hates me.

3. Never want to see another good dancer squandered on Anton again. You can only be as good as your teacher and his fast Latin just doesn't cut it.

4. Very enjoyable Quickstep from Helen and Aljaz but hated the move at the end where he gave the floor a quick clean with her ball gown. Looked so inelegant.

5. There's an inevitability about this series. You can tell just from the audience reaction that Jay's got this. It's a similar response to what Louis, Chris and Tom Chambers used to get. The public are behind him all the way (not saying that's a bad thing, just an observation).”


5-I noticed it as well . It's clear that Jay is a huge favorite and deservingly so imo
Don't want to jinx it by saying he has it in the bag but he has a very good chance.

1. Kevin has a sticky out arse that could have easily carried a tea tray with room to spare.
2. Kellie reminds me of Violet Elizabeth Bott... and is equally annoying.
3. Kirsty is so neeeeedy.
4. Anton reverts to form. Crack jokes to cover up his failings as a choreographer and dancer. A contender is wasted on him.
5. Jay has this sewn up and in the bag.

2) Saying that, I thought Helen was slightly overmarked tonight and Kellie was massively overmarked - she made mistakes but was not picked up on them.

3) In comparison I felt Jay was undermarked though I wish the Paso had proper Paso music.

4) The judges need to reel it in and ensure they're unbiased. They were far too harsh tonight on some and overly kind on others.

5) Glad Kirsty had a breakthrough dance; hopefully that will give her some confidence going forward.”

1. Completely agree.
I love Gleb and I love how much she performs her dances, but technically she is messy. She sells the dances better than she actually dances them, but that is a good thing in the long run, specially the underscoring.
2. I enjoyed Kirsty's and carol dances, they were quite nice for duffers.
3. My heart is quartered. One part to alijaz, one to Tristan (the smallest), one to Gleb (currently the largest) and the last part to Jay.
4. Bored by jamelia, aisnley, Georgia (who I think is overall very underrated) and Anton.
5. Jay s paso is a grower, though I still don't like the music, but his dancing is pretty on point. Still there is plenty of scope for development which is only a good thing.

#1 = Anita's tango was amazing, she was undermarked again
#2 = Kellie was completely overmarked, the jive was way too frantic and she made countless mistakes, but that's what happens when you have Kevin as a partner, Peter was overrated too (what a surprise)
#3 = Kirsty was a pleasant surprise
#4 = I didn't like the fact that the last 3 dancers were in the top 3, plus Jay is starting to annoy me, if he wins, it will be the most anticlimatic final ever
#5 = Tess's face after Bruno's slip of the tongue

1. Helens dance was beautiful , excellent technically but it didn't make me go 'wow' and I really love her usually .
2.georgia gets under marked every week .
3. I found certain couples -Kirsty , janelia I'm happy to miss and make a cup of tea !
4. Peter is way over rated - he's stompy in every dance
5. Kellie's jive is my second favourite ever (behind Louisa and Vincent ) it was exciting fast paced and captivated me- I'm shocked there's
Not a thread saying she should have had some 10's

I'm not so sure Jay will win, though I like him and love watching him dance.

If Anita continues to improve and gets to the final, the public vote often gives credit to 'the journey' contestant.

1. I thought Georgia was very good, I have warmed to her and hope she goes far into the competition.

2. Loathed the music to Anita and Gleb's tango, but I thought Gleb put together an excellent contemporary routine that Anita performed really well.

3. Ainsley's dance was the worst of the night by some way for me. He reminds me a little of Lisa Riley; all the (Latin) dances look the same with the same facial expression.

4. I loves Helen's quickstep, I think her delight at the comments and marks was genuine and quite endearing.

5. I have thought for a while that Bruno has become quite unpleasant and tonight confirmed it. Some of his comments were spiteful and nasty, I would be quite happy to see him go at the end of this series.

1. Aliona is a great choreographer, that Paso fit the music perfectly.
2. You really tend to forget those going first a bit.
3. Bruno was quite nasty yesterday.
4. After seeing excellent bits of Kellie's training I was underwhelmed by the actual dance
5. VTs, now they have people lying in them, spontaneous visits my arse

1. Some poor music choices and some poor deliveries of songs by the band.

2. Wow! - to Gleb and Anita - standout performance.

3. Had such high hopes for Kellie's Jive, after seeing the best of it in a training clip.

4. Well done to Giovanni and Georgia on getting through that without dislocating his shoulder again.

5. Bruno is a knob. He should be able to control what he says. I laughed tho!

1) It's time we lost a few of the useless women (Carol/Jamelia/Kirsty/Katie)...at least the useless men provide entertainment/a laugh.

2) Still can't remember which is Helen and which is Georgia...is it one of them has the sweaty pro?

3) Give Andre his due...one of the few male celeb rum babas didn't have me or or

4) Only two dances last night you could bring yourself to watch again...Anita & Jay

5) I think Anton & Katie must have gone to a tomato ketchup club by mistake

1. Whatever Len was on last night I want some

2. Can't remember any of the dances and wouldn't care if I never saw any of them again,

3. Had to lol at Tess going all school ma'am petulant with Bruno as a result of the production team wetting their pants in shock because he referred to 'dog's bollocks'.

4. The training vids were a surprisingly accurate predictor of the outcomes on the night.

5. Darcey was unrelenting in her harrowing of Katie

1. Bruno has become a nasty bully and needs to be ditched next series. Retire Brendon and slot him into that role.

2. Kellie was way over marked. Kevin's choreography was poor.

3. Helen also a tad over marked. Pleasant but didn't blow me away.

4. Jay very under marked. I thought he got the 'face' just right. Masculine and powerful.

5. Anita and Gleb's dance did nothing for me. Cold, clinical and robotic.

1) I thought Bruce was back..Peter you aren't a comedian and his constant fawning with the judges, Tess, Claudia, in fact everyone is really annoying me. Over marked again but Jeanette looked stunning.

2) Did Anton think he was dancing with Ann Widdicome again? He doesn't need to use comedy, maybe it is his way of deflecting from the fact that he is hopeless at Latin dances

3) I watched on iPlayer and missed BollocksGate .. Bruno is now getting embarrassing and needs resting, Ian Waite or Karen Hardy please.

4) Len criticises Peter Andre about over-dancing, it is a pity that he doesn't say the same about Kevin Clifton - always too frantic in the faster dances, vastly over marked and Kellie's screaming is really grating.

5) Loved Kirsty's VW, dance of the night for me.

1. LOVED Kellie & Kevin and Jay & Aliona
2. Jeremy was pretty forgettable this week. Carol wasn't far behind either
3. I like all the judges but Len really got on my nerves this weekend
4. Best dressed week of the series. Thought all the couples looked stunning. No dodgy outfits for a change.
5. Kirsty's best dance by far. Not convinced if she can keep it up yet though

Jay was undermarked. He was always be held up to his jive now.
Georgia also undermarked i thought she was great.
Kellie is so bloody annoying i was praying she would trip over.
I love Tristan. LOVE him.

Katie danced BETTER than Anton. His Latin is dreadful.

1) Bruno's enthusiastic outburst with ripe language gave me the best laugh of the night.
2) Do the PTB have it in for Anita & Georgia as they seem to be on early in the running?
3) Throwing the kitchen sink at a routine does not make it better. It just wears out your partner (I am looking at you Kevin).
4) A masculine Paso from Jay needed more machismo.
5) Katie looks more professional than Anton in the messy Latin dances & he still lets her down.

1. Most important! I DEMAND we see the Man in the Hat when they introduce the band. Are they deliberately missing him out as they know we like to see/wave at him. Come on BBC.

2. That suitcase irritated me so much in Kellie's jive. It detracted from the dance. Really stupid idea.

3. I love Anita. For me she is about 80% there with her dancing which is perfect for where we are week wise. I always look forward to her dances.

4. I usually like Bruno, he give good advice and can be funny, but this series he has disappointed me and last night he was just cruel. I don't care about him saying bollocks but I do care about him being nasty to Jeremy, a man who could be used to define 'well-mannered'. It jarred with the spirit of the show.

5. Say what you like about Brendan but that man can choreograph a fantastic VW.

I agree. I can see Anita sneaking up on everyone and being the surprise winner if she keeps improving and Gleb keeps delivering great choreography.

Yes, they built it up a lot and it felt very underwhelming to me too.

1. Jay was technically disappointing Bruno was right; not enough back arch and there were no flowery hand rolls ( I love flowery hand rolls in a Paso )

2. Peter Andre - Does Len fancy him or something? Once again out of step with the other judges re. marking.

3. Loved Kellie's Jive. Two great jives in one series; great to see the professionals moving towards something refreshingly 'different' with the jive.

4.Helen's fixed smile made her look like a manic ventriloquist's dummy. I did love the 'story' of the dance, though.

5.Craig is determined to be completely blind to any positives in Jeremy's performances. Extremely annoying.

Loved Anita's tango undermarked as per usual
Helen's QS not as good as Abbie's
Anton and Katy's salsa was a car crash
Bruno's "swearing" was funny
Jezza showed great improvement

1. Poor Georgia. For me, she was the best dancer of the night but once again she was in the first half of the show and undermarked.
2. The VTs weren't as bad this week: probably the calm before the storm with next week being Halloween.
3. Anton is going to be Katie's downfall. If she isn't a competent Latin dancer, give her a simpler routine and focus on her technique. Instead, he thought he'd cover it up with comedy.
4. I like Kellie, but when she needed a more reserved partner to balance out her personality. Together Kellie and Kevin are unbearable.
5. The judges comments seemed to last AGES last night, which isn't a bad thing if they're being constructive, but Bruno was just being plain awful.
