1) Theme weeks really don't hold my attention or interest and the music was terrible - none of the dances worked.
2) It's interesting to have a series where different people are topping the leaderboard and all celebs making an effort.
3) Peter made me say out aloud - "oh shut up" and reach for the mute button. I've never reacted like that to anyone on the show.
4) Anticipation and excitement for #yearoftheAnton has dropped consierably and I'm backing Anita instead.
5)

1) Kellie just doesn't do it for me
2) Peter needs to shut up, he's just embarrassing
3) Loved Jay, Helen and Georgia
4) Anita and Gleb were much better than their marks suggest (again)
5) Carol, you're lovely but you must go now

1. Georgia & Giovanni were brilliant - I hoped that concept might work and it really did, it could have been terrible but they got just the right balance of characterisation and doing the proper dance. That's how to do a theme week!

2. For the first time I've actually voted for Jeremy - loved him doing the Thriller dance!

3. Jay & Helen remain my overall favourites and both of them lived up to their usual extremely high standards for me, both very enjoyable.

4. Aliona wins best outfit of the night!

5. Carol - that was AWFUL.

Loved Craig in the wedding dress.

I love Jeremy.

Plus, I had kind of an about-face this week!

I usually zone out when Anita & Gleb dance, but this week theirs was my favourite dance.

I actually kind of enjoyed Carol's dance too. I thought it was her best so far, so she's probably for the chop this week!

Plus, the Kellie & Kevin partnership that I haven't really been drawn to is growing on me.


(I'd mention that I really hate the awful, staged VTs - but we all seem to say that every week and they STILL do it, so I've kind of just given up hoping it will ever change!)

1. Loved Jay and Georgia tonight
2. Amazing Hair and Make Up
3. Some strange music choices
4. Unfair to Kellie having to dance on a table
5. Kirsty needs to pretend she is enjoying the show

1. Hate Halloween week with a vengeance.

2. I didn't think SICKLY ANDRE could get any worse but he surpassed himself tonight 'Can I just say something ....'. URGH. I know what I'd like to say and it ends in off.

3. Kevin and Kellie ... what was that Same old Same old from the ghost of Grimsby. Haphazard and frantic.

4. Taxi for Kirkwood ... couldn't recognise what dance that was if anything it was over marked

5. Two dances just about registered for me .. Jay and Aliona and Team GG

6. Sneaky sixth ... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE NO MORE HALLOWEEN THEME WEEK.

1) If the couples have to film ridiculous VTs then time might be cut into rehearsals... that's what happened tonight.
2) Music choice was terrible for most and didn't really give them a chance.
3) The show is meant to be about the dancing; not everything else.
4) At least the judges toned it down after the nastiness last week.
5) I thought Tess and Claudia worked well together.

1) hair, make up and costumes fantastic, shame it's a show about dancing
2) doing meaningful choreography to awful music so difficult for the pros
3) got to be a week when 2 girls in the bottom 2 surely?
4) can we get back to actual dancing next week?
5) warming to Peter more each week, he's OTT but it's clear that's his normal manner

1. I am so over Halloween, I wish we could have a different theme next year for the theme week.
2. The costumes compromised some key elements of some of the dances.
3. The VTs were cringey, I wish they would show us training, with perhaps graphics or Ian Waite telling us what the dance should look like. The only bit of all the VTs I liked was the 3 "ghosts" in Anton's house.
4. Peter is starting to look like he is doing the same dance every week.
5. I loved Jeremy,

A sneaky 6. The best bit about tonight's show was the Twitter spat between James Jordan and Danny Dyer.

1. Kirsty was in pretty much the right place in the leaderboard but 17? No. WAY too harsh. Too unfair. 20/21 would have sufficed. It was decent apart from the many, many mistakes.
2. Loved team GG tonight! Giovanni was one hot ghostbuster.
3. Katie undermarked yet again. Like Kirsty, 3 or 4 marks under what it deserved.
4. The Addams Family opening. The less said about that the better. I was watching through my fingers. Must they make a big deal of the judges entrance?
5. Taxi for Carol. Surely. Love her but I don't know what the hell that was tonight. Definitely not a Rumba. Think she'll be safe again though...

Can this programme get any worse? Clearly it can. I don't think I've ever sat through so much rubbish under the label Strictly Come Dancing.
Please pull the plug on it.
Crap 'dancing', inappropriate music and distracting props.

The producers have ruined what was once quite a good Saturday night show centred around dancing, the latter is now secondary or even lower - pathetic and shame on those responsible.

1. I usually like Halloween week, but this week was awful - the music just wasn't suitable and the routines really suffered because of it, and the costumes hampered rather than enhanced the performances.
2. I still can't take to Helen, but she WAS really good, I have to admit.
3. Anita and Gleb are still my favourites, I cannot look away for one second when they're dancing.
4. I totally get the Jeremy love, he is just so disarming!
5. I found tonight's show too noisy, I had a headache by the end of it.

1. georgia - rightly top of the board tonight, a very accomplished dance, but still not sure they are memorable.

2. tess - looked fabulous tonight, gets way too much flak, she is good at her job.

3. katie - better than the comments and scores gave her credit for, most of the faults lie with the way anton approaches the programme.

4. jay. when is he going to grow some sort of character? starting to find his efficient, clinical squiring of aliona slightly creepy.

5. no 5, cos it was generally a dull, dull week.

1. As amazing as the costumes and make-up were, they totally overwhelmed the dances and detracted from the steps, particularly Kevin and Kellie's.

2. Why had they given Gleb a mullet made of roadkill? And why give Anita horns so big they ruined some of their armography?

3. Didn't really see what the judges saw in Georgia's dance, but at least they seemed to have gotten Giovanni's sweating under control this week.

4. Actually quite liked Peter's dance but then had to fast forward when he started one of his speeches. He's his own worst enemy.

5. Jay looked good as a wolf.

1. I came in halfway through and found it a bit flat but going through the dances I missed, it was great!
2. I'm mightily surprised that Jay and Aliona are my favourites tonight. Great foot and leg work from Jay, very cool song and styling and just a nice twist on the AS.
3. Some great costumes. Love Anita's in particular. She suits dramatic clothing, make up etc.
4. Loved Jamelia. So her jive wasn't the best but it was fun, she seemed relaxed and it was a nice routine.
5. Special shout out to Gleb. Loved the ending of the waltz. Loved watching that man fall over!

1. Anita and Gleb under marked again
2. How could Darcy give Anita and Jamelia the same mark? Nonsense!
3. Poor Carol. I so want you to get better because you're lovely, but you are nearing the end of the road...
4. I still think Anton's poor Latin technique is hampering Katie's chances but the judges are unfairly laying the blame on her.
5. I loved the concept of Kellie and Kevin's paso.

Sneaky 6. Industrial strength cleaner required to remove the brown staining from Peter Andre's nose....

1) Cringe, cringe at Peter. Just stop and people might like you more.
2) Jay is just lovely.
3) Felt so sorry for Kirsty, give her one of my votes.
4) Carol's turn to go tonight, the most unrecognisable Rhumba ever.
5) Enjoyed Anita and Gleb's Waltz. His choreography is a breath if fresh air.

It was one of those shows where I could feel my brain being dumbed down and all I could think about was the glory years of SCD which had sincerity and formality.

1/ Very underwhelming show on the whole. Craig in the wedding dress chasing Brendan was a good start , but it was swiftly downhill from there.
2/ Loved GG's tango and it was wonderful seeing them arrive in the competition. They needed a stand out performance and tonight it happened. Could be serious contenders if they follow in tonight's vein.
3/ Carol's a lovely woman but that was one of the worst routines I've ever seen. Definitely her time to go.
4/ I thought both Kirsty and Katie were a bit narky over their comments (not for the first time). They both strike me as being sore losers who seem to think if they enjoyed dancing it then everyone, including the judges, should have enjoyed watching it.
5/ The music choices were once again largely dire tonight. The only ones I was actually really pleased with were Georgia's and Anita's.
