Shockingly inappropriate music

Awful dancing, theme week's are the pit's

Peter, no one is listening shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Please stop the judges entrance bit

Loved Claudia' s dig at Kirsty and Katie.

Completely agree with this. There always seems to be a section of the dance designed to show off what he can do while Anita just stands there.

1. Carol reminded me of Nancy D. the way she wafted about moving her hips occasionally.

2. Brendan's 'answering back' and Kirsty's 'whingey' face, aren't helping their cause.

3. It's difficult to make a foxtrot look elegant, dressed as a wolf but Jay managed it.

4. Craig is getting kinder than Bruno. What's going on.

5. Anita's hairdo affected her dance. Costumes shouldn't hinder a performance.

1. I cringed when Peter asked to 'say something' Janette really should have a word, i'ts every week now and on ITT, it's just too much.

2. I loved Anita's dance, this first one of hers I've really liked.

3. Along with Anita's, Georgia and Helen's were the best dances of the night for me and I cast my votes accordingly.

4. I think Katie thinks she's a lot better than she is and it's starting to show. Personally I find that a bit off-putting.

5. I wasn't looking forward to Carol's rumba, and it was even worse than I feared. I know the music was awful, but was that really the best they could come up with in a week?

1: All a bit lacklustre for a Halloween special

2: Jay, meh! Had such high hopes for this routine, that simply very good just wasn't good enough.

3: What the hell was going on at the start of Kirsty and Brendan's routine?

4: I love Claudia.

5: Anita and Gleb's waltz, from a theatrical performance standpoint, was glorious.

Cheeky 6: Yay Jeremy!

1. A rumba to 'I Think I Love You' and a tango to 'Ghostbusters'. The poor professionals must be screaming in despair when handed this nonsense.

2. Anita, Georgia and Helen were the stand-outs.

3. Love Jay & Aliona but their routine was disappointingly flat for me.

4. Anton looked proper chastised for once this week when the judges were so critical. He's usually looking to insert a comeback but even his mask couldn't hide the anxiety.

5. Haven't shared the irritation that many have felt towards Peter - until now. Yes, shhhh Peter, just shush.

1) Nice of Kevin to dance with his granny every week...
2) Jamelia diva strop - ain't no-one feeling sorry for you hun
3) Kirsty diva strop - get over yourself love - you're not very good
4) Please remove the rumba from the schedule - no-one dances ot well and sometimes one sick bucket isn't enough
5) Do you think Georgia really thinks his name is Joe Varney?
Cheeky 6) Is Helen really an anime doll?

1. Peter Andre..thank god for the fast-forward button.
2.I'm not usually bothered about 'performance faces' but on this occasion the judges were right. A few more cheeky looks to the camera from Jay would have taken his performance to another level.
3. Can't help thinking Helen's Samba would have been so much better with a slightly slower, bouncier song.
4.What was all that b*ll*cks from Len about the people upstairs being a bit confused by his marking because " I wanted to give you this, Peter, but it's turned out to be that..it is what it is " Huh??
5. As usual on theme nights the music didn't fit the dances and the props/ make-up were a distraction.

1) Halloween week ...I'm sure its only the costume, hair & makeup people want to keep this in....it gets worse every year.

2) How do can you tell how much paso shaping there is when the back and arms are hidden under a Hogwart's cloak?

3) Anita under marked again...and apparently hampered by the oversized horns getting caught up

4) Time to be rid of the weaker (and boring) women...that's you Jamelia, Carol, Kirsty, Katie...with the added bonus of being rid of whinging Anton & Brendan.

5) Could only remember 2 routines from last night before reading this thread...Jay & Jezza

It's how many web pages work - they have to be paid for somehow.

Google and other search engines make money from tracking what you look at.

Adverts on this website aren't very intrusive compared to some.

Remember lots of complaints about adverts on Facebook - which is very profitable business for its owners. Some Facebook users seem to think it's a charity or public service.

1) Peter Andre Cringewatch #712 - His limp attempt at enthusiasm when getting 7s (a robotic 'Yes!' with a stiff little arm pump) was lamentable.

2) I like Halloween week just not this Halloween week. I felt it was style over substance with most dances and none had the wow factor.

3) Poor Anita. That is all.

4) I get the appeal of Jeremy but Carol? It's just terrible dancing done nicely. She really ought to be in the dance off tonight.

5) When will Strictly yield to public (my) demand and give us a Samba to Werewolves of London and a Viennese Waltz to Danse macabre.

1, Very dull, most of the dances were flat and many looked severely under rehearsed...I wonder if that is due to the group dance.

2. Jamelia looked unfit and half arsed.

3. Really not liking the Kirsty and Brendan partnership, no spark, no joy coming from the pair when they dance and the wittering on and excuses from them is tiresome.

4. Anita under marked, both she and Jay danced well, but for me, neither of them had the wow factor.

5. Enjoyed Georgia's dance and Jeremy's sheer enjoyment of the experience.

1. Loved Team GG's tango. This was the first time I'd really enjoyed their performance, fantastic choreography.

2. Was shocked at how bad Carol was. Must go this week.

3. Was also disappointed in Katie & Anton's routine. I thought her paso would be an improvement on last week's effort but their chances seem to be slipping each week.

4. Some fabulous outfits. My favourites were Karen's and Aliona's.

5. I wish everyone would just stop following James Jordan on twitter, he'd have to disappear then. It's just fuelling his poison.

Number 1, Tristan wasn't happy with his foxtrot music.
It is unfair for the pros to be told what music, this is a platform for them to show what they can do, the show is making them look like idiots who fo notknow what music fots which dance.

1. I really loved Jeremy's Salsa ( so entertaining), I also loved TeamGG's Tango ( nice footwork and full of character), Helen was good, only one mistake and i surprised me with that Samba despite the horrible song choice.

2. some nice VT's, i like a bit of comedy

3. the worst of the night for me were Carol, Jamelia and Kirsty

4. Anita's waltz was a bit dull for me ( but i haven't seen the movie Maleficent)

5. Georgia really upped her game with that Tango, despite having a bad week of training ( having a cold, pain in her neck)

Nothing is a bad as Quentin Wilson's Cha,Cha, Cha ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da_zxblfGoI

I thought the opening dance sequence wasn't very good.

I enjoyed Helen's dance.

Carol's was as bad as I thought it would be.

Enjoyed Sir Kevin of Grimsby's dance.

Jeremy as entertaining as usual and should have had more marks.

1. That was a nightmare of a show.!

2. "You haven't seen the rest yet. They're all going down." Well predicted Brendan.

3. Very happy Georgia and Giovanni! I had to turn the sound down! https://twitter.com/bbcstrictly/stat...47752070356992

4. Occasionally Helen's hips looked very good. She's getting there.

5. Jeremy definitely wasn't the worst this week.

Georgia and Giovanni have all reason to be happy, i really liked their Tango

1) Most disappointed by Jay, his AS was great, just not... not the standard it could've been. Same with his Paso last week.

2) Katie's Paso wasn't incredible, but it wasn't anywhere near a 4 or a 5, Craig and Bruno. Deserved 4/5 marks more than it got.

3) Kellie's Paso was, conversely, overmarked, and deserved the same score as Katie's (about 25); far too frenetic, with little to no Spanish shaping.

4) Georgia was a revelation; she went from being someone I wouldn't have cried about losing now to someone I could conceivably see in the Final.

5) Anita's dance was beautiful, and hugely undermarked (deserved about the same as Helen, 34).

Sneaky 6) Jeremy could make the Semi-Final.

Thing is, if you put in lots of content and the celeb dances it well, higher marks.

You put in lots of content and the celeb dances it badly, you get penalised.

So if you didn't get penalised for lack of content, then pros with a not-so-good celeb would always skimp on the content. Oh, sure, they do anyway because the public will notice bad dancing more than lack of content, but the judges still need to spot and penalise it in order to encourage content to be put in.

I thought he was talking about the rest of his and Kirsty's dances. Len had just finished saying that they were going up and down (the last week being a good one with the waltz or whatever). Wonder what Kirsty thought of that, if I'm right?

The way Brendan waved and kind of apologised to the others on Claude nine just after, confirmed to me that 'the rest of them' was the other routines.
He was quite right.
