1 - Can't fault Jeremy's enthusiasm.
2 - Helen = Cheap Japanese anime Debbie McGee
3 - Anita and Gleb's waltz was haunting but charming. However, shame about the horns!
4 - I unintentionally tune out every time Kirsty and Brendan are on.
5 - If they never do Halloween week again, I wouldn't miss it.

1. They year's Halloween was a bit of an anti climax;
2. The only dance that captured the essence of Halloween was Anita's. Hell-Oh, Gleb!
3. Anita was not lyrical enough; she gets 29. Helen just "almost" got the dreaded double bounce and didn't deliver the flavour of the Samba plus made a glaring mistake towards the end; she gets 34.
4. Slinky move in a Tango gets you to the top of the leader board?
5. Tess showing her moves was ugghhhh. At least Bruce F could tap and could actually dance ballroom.

1) Good to see Helen silence a good few people with a very good Samba.
2) Peter, why? WHY??
3) Shame that Georgia had to do that tango on theme week, would have looked much better in ballroom attire.
4) Gabby, both of your friends are terrible at latin.
5) Jeremy seems to enjoy himself, on the dancefloor, the most out of all the celebs (the rest should take note!)

1. Darcey.......Stunning!!
2. Carol......I've watched for 11 years. Worst dance by a distance.
3. Struggling to like Kellie.
4. Well played Claudia.....must have been hard.
5. Glad the theme weeks are over.

1. Georgia, Jay and Helen stood out.
2. Music and dance choices generally didn't work but pleasantly surprised to see you can dance a tango to Ghostbusters, who knew!
3. Sick of Peter's desperation to come across as a 'nice guy' as I think he realises he's far from the best dancer.
4. Costumes and make-up were great but felt like technique and style came second.
5. Anita is good but has she plateaued?

1: well done Claudia for holding it together .

2:. Katie is no worse than others but seems to get much harsher comments

3: Anita is a brilliant performer

4 : Peter Mr Fake of Fakitty Hall

5: I have no interest in Kellie or Kevin and their overdancing and over acting

And a bonus 6: the make up was incredible tonight

1. What on earth was Carol dancing to? I'd challenge the pros to dance a decent rhumba to it. Dire.

2. Loved Anita (again), She's becoming a consistent favourite for me. Plus I do like the character she played.

3. For me the best music of the night was Peter's. I know he does exactly the same dance every week but the choreography and music was great.

4. Tess looked bloomin' gorgeous.

5. I'm trying to be philosophical and think it can't get any worse than it was tonight so the rest of the series has to improve.

1. Anita was undermarked again tonight.
2. I am getting bored with it all (thank goodness for the ice-skating tonight).
3. Jeremy was overmarked (I do like Jeremy btw).
4. It's getting more like XF every week.
5. The judges should all be sacked.

1. When the costume gets in the way of the dance, then the pro should insist the costume is tweaked (looking at you, Gleb)

2. Best dancing from Georgina, followed by Jay and then Anita

3. Jeremy's dance was nothing like a salsa, but he made me smile

4. VTs and opening group dance clearly wasted precious rehearsal time

5. I agree with Bruno Peter seems to have whole-body memory, not just muscle memory, of his pop routines

Really enjoyed the halloween theme week!

G & G were easily the best - shame they had to wear the dullest outfits.

Oh Carole!!

Katie & Anton were no where near as bad as the judges made out, I thought they did good.

The make up, costumes and lighting were amazing. A great show - no wonder SCD is beating ZZZZZFactor in the ratings.

1) Some of the dances seemed to be over before they started. Jay and Aliona didn't seem to last very long for example.
2) For some reason there was no stand out performance. I found it just a little underwhelming.
3) Liked Georgia & Giovanni, Helen & Aljaz.
4) Craig Revel Horwood looked ghastly in his Frankenstein guise.
5) Carol has a nice smile ...

1. I felt very tired and sad by the end of the show. It just all didn't work for me somehow. I feel that a lot of good dances were squandered to theme night. I liked Jay, Georgia, Anita, Helen and Jeremy, but I don't feel like I enjoyed the show.
2. Very happy to see Georgia get top of the leaderboard, and get some proper recognition for once. Good for GG.
3. Anita was undermarked and they were too harsh on her. Having said that, the flying wasn't well-staged, the horns got in the way and the skirt of her dress did nothing to help her legs and feet look flowing. Even so, the problems were staging not her.
4. Even more so, I can't express how much I would like to see Jay do an American Smooth with no messing about with chairs and props, with better music, and where we could see his face. I was fuming last year when Steve and Ola's supposedly brilliant make-up meant you couldn't see their faces and everyone kept making speeches about how amazing it was and I wanted to yell, but it's not helping the dance! Nevertheless Jay did some really lovely dancing and lifts, i still thought it was beautiful.
5. It'll never happen, but if we have to have Halloween, I'd love it if it were followed by a no props, no stages, just dance week

1. Can't remember when I enjoyed the show less.
2. Jay was overmarked.
3. Kellie was undermarked.
4. Anita and Gleb had the best costumes and choreography.
5. Wardrobe, hair and makeup should get an award for tonight's show. It was all stunning.

Cheeky 6. Poor Carol and Pasha. They must have really upset somebody to be given such a dreadful music choice.

1. Jeremy's routine was the most memorable. Which was bad but the most appropriate.
2. Carol did strictly come walking.
3. Peter has regained his crown, King of Tw*ts.
4. I don't think I am bothered who wins anymore as long as it isn't Peter.
5. I can't think of a point number 5.

Jeremy got a 4.

Jay managed to look like a cute puppy instead of a wolf.

Some great costumes.

Some cr@p songs.

Peter bows to the experts...again.

1. Jay rapidly turning into a bad case of the Emperor's new clothes.
2. Especially well done to Georgia for doing so well when costume, make-up and music choice were all conspiring against her.
3. Somebody really needs to pull Kevin up on not drowning dances in theming and storytelling.
4. Anton has now been brought back down to earth so many times this series I almost want Katie to get through and her QS to be crap just to really nail the coffin lid on.
5. I admit it - I was happy for Jeremy when he was so genuinely delighted to get a better score from Craig.

1. LOVED Anita and Gleb's waltz tonight and a 6 from Craig was just plain ridiculous!
I know she's not the only celeb with NO previous dance training but she's bloomin' good and should be given more credit for how well she is coping with the brilliant but ambitious routines that Gleb is creating. They're definitely my favourites this series and I look forward to seeing what they come up with every week.

2. I'm also warming more to Giovanni and him and Georgia are getting better week by week. I'd bring back all 3 of the new pros next year.

3. Halloween is without doubt my favourite of all the themed weeks and the one I look forward to every year.
Tonight's wasn't the best I have seen but I still enjoyed it and think the band, wardrobe, hair and make up do a brilliant job making it a fab all round production.
I agree that quite often good routines can be hampered by the theme but I think 13 weeks (or however many it may be) would make for a long series if it was just straight dancing week after week. I like the occasional theme thrown in to pep it up a bit.

4. Really enjoying Tess and Claudia presenting and think the show flows well between them both. Tess has really grown in her position as the main host and Claudia just makes me laugh with her crazy antics

5. Enjoying Jeremy and think Karen is doing a good job with him with pretty entertaining routines but the silly screaming and jumping around from her with the judges scores is getting on my nerves!! IF they are saved tomorrow night I can't bear to see her reaction!! I can already bet that it will be completely OTT.

1. I was so happy Jeremy got a 4 from Craig I don't know what's happened but I love Jeremy I'm even unmuting eggheads before ITT
2. Kevin's smug looked got wiped off his face twice tonight A spot in a dance off would do him good
3. Really pleased for Team GG they have worked hard and are improving every week I'd like to see them in the final
4. Make-up/wardrobe was great but the dancing was mostly meh tonight
5. James Jordan v Danny Dyer was the best bit of the night

Sneaky 6 I so hope Jeremy stays in longer than Peter I would say I would laughing but I already did that with his Thriller routine

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
BIB and then be accused of being fake/insincere etc etc. I like her honesty- it certainly marks her out from the rest of the bland responses to hefty criticism.

1. I stopped watching after Jeremy and Karen because dance doesn't get much better than that
2. Claudia and tess looked good
3. Bruno looked creepy (appropriate for Halloween) in his little boys addams family costume
4. I liked the professionals dancing to that hellblazer song
5. thank you anton and katie for reminding me just how good kara and artem were (same initials same song world's apart in dance)

1 Ugliest dress ever danced in, but otherwise, Georgia was my favourite. Unlike all the other women, she's neither too loose and gangly nor too stiff nor desperately trying too hard. Thank heavens Giovanni wasn't drenched for once – I hope that's sorted now.

2 Kellie annoyed the hell out of me with all the excuses, missing the family, the suppressed anger at the 7's, the busy busy, poor poor pitiful me – well just sod off home to Freddie then. Though I'm a bit suspicious that they're uglying her up on purpose to oust her before the final – once again, her hair was dreadful (like that time with the enormous exaggerated 1940s curls). And I suspect she slit that skirt to try to show off her legs – the costume lady said she wanted her skirts shorter – maybe she's been a diva? In any case, she always looks 10 times better on ITT than on Saturdays.

3 But speaking of looks, Katie was GORGEOUS. I'm a bad judge of dancing but I liked her paso, and I didn't even think Kirsty was too bad – a bit helter skelter but that seemed more the fault of the choreography than her imo. I'm always suspicious of producer-driven sabotage and that choreo looked like it -- also Jamelia's cropped dresses in ballroom - if ANYbody needs a long dress to obscure her feet, it's Jamelia but hers are always 6 inches higher than her feet - not a good look on anybody. I liked her jive ok though - like James Jordan said, the dance seemed to suit her.

4 I feel like Jay is going downhill since the jive. His face – he just looks like a frightened little boy – and I wish I could take some scissors to his hair – it's too fluffy and high – and Aliona's looked better in the darker shade of last series. They've lost me at the moment, but I'm sure he's sticking around and will probably defeat Georgia, who I think may be an early surprise bottom two, though it might be Kellie... oh who knows, but I can't wait for someone above the big scoring-gap to hit the dance-off to shake things up.

5 Anita – I feel the dances are designed around him and she's struggling to keep up. And I always love Gleb's powerful balletic dancing and also the choreography he and Gordana-2 create (his wife Elena, who said in an interview he was the new Derek Hough), but he's so strangely disengaged from Anita. I liked his personality on DWTS when he had an older lady who brought out his charming side – I keep feeling a mismatch with this couple.

1. VTs were awful, loss of training time for these showed in the dancing IMHO.
2. Why blame Carol for the content of the rumba? Pasha did the choreography, she danced what he designed. OK, her dancing is not great, but what she danced in terms of content was up to him. She handled the critique well, I thought.
3. Boring evening, no standout dance.
4. Anita undermarked again. Gleb is becoming like Artem in that we like the style, but the judges do not.
5. P'duh finally got the comments that all dances are looking the same. I wish he would just take the criticism and use it, vs. go into a speech.

1. Anita and Kellie were horrendously undermarked. Those two and Georgia were my favourites this week.
2. Felt very bad for Kirsty, hopefully if she is in the dance off, she can improve on the mistakes and get through because she does have some potential in there, lurking somewhere.
3. Jay was dull, a huge disappointment because I was looking forward to their dance.
4. Did the celebs mention that they loved their costumes and make-up?
5. I wasn't the only one who thought Darcey was dressed as Michael Jackson, right?

1. Anita and Gleb.......amazing choreography, well danced, 29? Ridiculous

2. Jay and Aliona......great and Jay obviously chuffed to bits at the end with how it had gone

3. G+G .........good tango

4. Carole and Kirsty Sorry but totally awful

5. Not a Peter fan (understatement!) but as Janette was doing the same jerky brittle "pop star" moves I'm not sure his awful routines are entirely his fault! And to echo other posters....SHUT UP PETE
