1. Peter Andre FINALLY where he deserves to be on the leaderboard - really hope that the public do not save him as this is the first time his popularity has actually been tested!

2. However, I am not impressed that the judges were so nice and polite to Peter when offering him a smidge of negativity. Totally unfair when they have been so vile to Katie and Jay amongst others in previous weeks.

3. I'm going to say it... Anita was OVERmarked, all style over substance - a good performance but not enough dance content for me!

4. Georgia was just lovely. Really getting to love her now.

5. I really enjoyed Kellie and Kevin's quickstep - she's a superb dancer and I'm starting to like her more again after being annoyed by her for a while.

1) "This week Tristan and Jamelia will be dancing in front of a giant doll's house!" Surely that's just a house?

2) Say what you like about Anton Du Beke, but goddamn that mother****er can throw a hat. WOOSH.

3) Considering how long Anita Rani's been "that woman pretending to be interested in a Shropshire autist droning on about traditional gooseberry jam making methods" it's a bit weird to see her sudden metamorphosis into Horny Murderer Queen Of Blood.

4) Peter Andre's VT - I'm pretty sure if a Cuban woman spontaneously appeared, laden with 2015 technology and espousing a negro dance, on British telly in the 1960s we would've been nuked to cinders before you could say "Joe McCarthy".

5) Georgia May Foote must've been going at some speed - look how many butterflies ended up stuck to her. Like my windscreen when I hit the motorway, I tell thee.

1) Tess is improving as a presenter, she's getting less wooden
2) Loved the complex and risky lift in Jay and Aliona's salsa
3) Katie and Anton, a real old fashioned traditional ballroom, yay!
4) Peter hasnt managed to improve his flat feet- tonight will show how strong his fan base is
5) Although not likely would like Jamelia to escape the dance off

1. I hate backing dancers. They ruined Georgia's dance when there was no need for them

2. Anita and Peter's dances were more about performance than the technique

3. Kellie did a great quickstep but she looked like Cora from Eastenders especially in the opening number in that silver dress

4. Craig was just horrible to Jamelia

5. I think everybody upped their game tonight (Peters footwork in the jive maybe not so great)

1. Hugely enjoyable show, extra dancers aside.
2. Loved Craig using Jeremy's guitar.
3. Loved seeing many shots of Jezza.
4. Everyone upped their game except Peter.
4. Gleb ... Gleb ... Gleb ...

1- Loved Jay and Aliona tonight. He looked SO happy and relaxed in their salsa . You can tell that they both enjoyed the routine . So happy for them this week.

2- Anita's Paso was A LOT more about Gleb though; as great at it was. I previously dismissed some of the claims that a lot of their dances are more about him but it was very obvious tonight.

3- The judges obviously have their favourites and it's not Jay or Anita. These 2 must be killing it in the votes.

4-Peter WHAT WAS THAT ? Where was the Jive BOTTOM 2 Please. If he ends up in the bottom 2 with Jamelia, surely he must go home. Not enough content and it wasnt that good.

5- Helen's charleston was SO disappointing. Katie's dance was overhyped for nothing.

1. Jay's dance needed a second viewing and after doing that, I thought it was fantastic
2. Anita/Kellie/Georgia - I can see it's good - it just doesn't wow me.
3. So much hope for Peter - but it just wasn't to be
4. I'm sorry but 35 for nearly falling over (twice)
5. I miss Erin

BIB I agree and it was MORE about Gleb than her.

1. I don't usually like the Blackpool week, in previous years I've though the backing dancers detracted from the routines - but this time, it worked really well, and they actually enhanced proceedings!
2. Katie is always so gracious and lovely
3. I thought Jay was a bit wooden and was expecting the judges to say so - but they loved it!
4. I enjoyed Helen's Charlston.
5. I hate that song Georgia and Giovanni danced to! Overblown, histrionic wail-fest, with all the emotional light and shade of a sledgehammer - I couldn't enjoy the dance because of it.

1) katie and anton - my favourite dance of the night, and i can't bear anton... for once it wasn't all about him or some over hammy comedy routine. great dance, well performed, katie was fantastic (if not perfect) and anton allowed her to shine.

2) jay - yay! as aliona put it, finally able to play with the dance a bit rather than just delivering us a technical but sterile performance. hope it continues once the backing dancers aren't there...

3) anita - gorgeous and mesmerising. but the more i see of gleb, the less i like him.

4) helen - still my favourite dancer, can't quite say why as she often appears a bit odd and her legs don't work quite as expected, but she is completely engaging

5) all the others. didn't dislike anything tonight!

1) The run-up to the show was more exciting than the actual thing. It was a bit of an anti-climax all round for me.
2) I truly believe Jamelia will escape tomorrow's dance-off
3) I expected much more from Helen's Charleston, Katie's AS and Peter's Jive - all very disappointing.
4) Why has Jamelia NEVER closed the show???
5) The backing dancers were ALL great tonight and added to, rather than impinged the routines. A MASSIVE improvement on last year.

1. Surprised at just how bad Peter's jive was - the choreography was awful and he seemed to have no energy . The judges were overly kind with their comments but at least he ended up in the right place on the leaderboard.

2. Really enjoyed both quicksteps - thought Jamelia looked lovely and had clearly worked really hard and Kellie is growing on me after not being so keen on her for the first few weeks.

3. Loved Jay's salsa - he gave a sexy, flirty performance without needing to gurn. Really looking forward to his samba now.

4. Anita's paso was all style over substance - she didn't dance much paso content and it was all about Gleb again. The faces were nearly at Emma Bunton levels of bad.

5. Georgia's dance was boring (and overmarked) and Charleston wasn't really Helen's dance - I'm not sure where her 'wow' dance is going to come from at this stage.

P.S. I HATE the backing dancers and don't think they should be doing lifts with the celebs (Katie and Georgia) instead of their actual partners.

1. Best Jive of the Series from Peter there .... in your dreams .. what was that It was like going back to week 1 and not knowing the first thing about dance.

2. Too many 10's

3. Katie must be passing brown envelopes to Vicky Gill and although not my favourite celeb, Kellie is getting the remnants from series 1.

4. Craig's 6 for Peter's Jive was spot on, unlike his 6 for Jay last week.

5. Extra dancers distracted many of the routines for me, save them for the International Styles week.

1/ Possibly my two favourite performances of the series from Anita and Georgia tonight. The actress in me adored Anita's sultry Paso, and Georgia's fairytale AS was just pure delight. So happy my two favourites are first and second on the leader board (at last Anita!).
2/ Peter annoyed me during his routine for the first time tonight. I don't have anything against him personally but the sticking out of his tongue during his jive was off putting.
3/ I've lost all interest in Jay. Great technical dancer and a lovely man but I can't engage with him at all. He's a bit like the male equivalent of Helen in that respect for me.
4/ Loved the group number at the start of the show.
5/ Enjoyed the opening with Jeremy scoring Craig's entrance on the guitar

1. Georgia is just amazing and will surely win.
2. Craig hit the nail on the head by telling Jamelia she'd be in the bottom two again.
3. We've no idea what dance the judges were looking at when Alijaz and Helen did the Charleston, it was surely the poorest Charleston of the series.
4. Over rated Peter Andre will be in the dance off this week.
5. Blackpool may be the Vegas of the north but I will be glad when they are back in the studio next week.

1. That "jive" was terrible. I'd like to see Jamelia to do the honours and knock Peter out.
2. Jay and Aliona's choreography was lost on that big floor.
3. Georgia and Giovanni are my new favourites.
4. Anita and Gleb, spectacular, they pitched it just right.
5. Where can one buy a Tristan doll?

1. Nod to Ola - the same dances would have got 3-4 points less anywhere else.

2. Biggest disappointment of the night - Helen's routine. Given the training clips you would have expected so much more than a very ordinary routine.

3. I know it was supposed to be Paso but how many more deep and dark routines will Gleb come up with? As above thought it was not much more than one big pose from start to finish.

4. Jay is going backwards and the judges are clearly intent on pushing Georgia in the other direction to try and create a competition.

5. The backing dancers will always be little more than an unnecessary distraction.

1. Peter's dance was not a jive, it was a pop dance. In view of how nasty some of the judges have been to weaker performers both tonight and in other weeks I was surprised he got away with such nice comments.
3. All my online votes went to Jamelia because Craig was so horrible to her, She was already expecting to be in the dance off again and no need for him to say so, particularly when he was not harsh to others who deserved it.
4. I thought Georgia's dance was lovely but not great. The unnecessary salsa move and illegal lifts spoiled the beauty of it. Not worthy of 10s.
5. Helen's charleston was a stiff mess and deserved more negativity from judges. who clearly have favourites.

1. Loved Jeremy at the beginning of the show
2. Finally Peter is where he belongs on the leaderboard - think he was overmarked.
3. Loved Anita's Paso
4. Loved Jay's jive
5. Found backing dancers distracting, but at least they didn't interfere with the celebrities - unlike last year.

1. I hate backing dancers on the show. How to ruin Blackpool in one simple move.

2. There was more VW content in Georgia & Giovanni's AS than in any of the VWs we've seen so far this year.

3. Loved Anita & Gleb's Paso.

4. I hope Wardrobe will give poor Kellie at least one ball gown this series.

5. Don't understand Len giving the highest judges' mark for Peter's Jive when it had such poor footwork. I wondered if he was injured.

Cheeky 6. I loved Helen & Aljaz' Charleston.

1.) The backing dancers surprisingly didn't bother me at all (like they did last year!) Instead I thought they added to the atmosphere quite well.
2.) Kellie was the biggest shock of the night. From the rehearsal footage I thought she was going to be terrible but she was fantastic!
3.) I really don't want Jamelia to go yet
4.) An Anita, Jay, Georgia final 3 please!!
5.) Helen/Peter bottom 2 would be ideal. With Peter going

1: didn't understand the scores for Georgia, found it a bit dull. 3rd week in a row her mistakes are ignored which is getting a bit tedious. I think she totally deserves the final but it's frustrating when others are picked on for really minor errors and hers are ignored.

2: I definitely don't understand Paso as a dance. I couldn't stand Susannahs and didn't like Anita's although I could appreciate what a great performer she is, I felt the dance was all style and no substance. I'm really pleased for her for her marks though, she's worked so hard.

3: loved Jamelia. I would be so so happy for her to escape the dance off this week

4: I miss Erin

5: Jay- Just wow. Not sure what more they want from him really, sexy flirty performance, amazing tricky lifts and he was loving the performance and even did some acting just for Craig. Have watched again and no idea what Bruno thinks went wrong with the lift.

1. Love Blackpool, great memories, fabulous venue

2. Don't like unnecessary backing dancers - I didn't even realise Gleb was there for about the first 30 seconds of their dance

3. Ditto tables and props - overused and get in the way

4. Had read comments earlier in the week about Peter's jive being * not all that* but thought it would be fine on the night..........it really, really wasn't

5. Anita and Gleb - Fab, loved it
