I'm baffled most by the 40 for the Tango when her posture in hold was clearly terrible throughout.

She's been amazing tonight! And if someone says she's been overmarked, then so were the others. Kellie's been the best of the night!

She did in my opinion and I now want her to win - having not even considered her before. She and Kevin were brilliant which has surprised me because I normally find Kevin so annoying.

At the start of the show I would have been quite happy with any of them winning bar Katie.

Kellie absolutely stole the show in my opinion and deserves her position on the leader board.

I don't agree her knees where not down in the Tango and the transitions into and out of the lifts in her show dance were awful. having said that she has danced the best tonight

Simple "choreography" executed well, little technique shown .... Not sure anyone "deserved" full marks tonight. I think this series have been way over-egged. It's no where near "the best ever" more a case of quite a few celebs equally as good as each other rather than a stand out celeb

Still the best dancer and performer tonight (and by a country mile), regardless of the number assigned! Also the only couple to have truly grasped the term showdance for me - everything else was a disappointment (but Team GG's was a very nearly almost for me).

Their showdance was outstanding, best dance of the evening.

Kevin gets what a showdance should be. Fun, full of energy and playing to the crowd.

The Showdance was brilliant that Tango though was awful.

Not shocked she got perfect scores though, we all predicted it.

Blame the judges. If they give 9's to inferior performances, when Kellie comes on and blows everyone else away they have to give her 10's.

I thought she was brilliant, but not worth a perfect score... dare I say none of them were? I don't like that she seems to have been pimped this week as the one 'they' want to win, not sure why that is - but there we are. I still hope Jay wins, Kellie has worked hard and would be a worthy champion but I'd kind of feel like it was more to do with the powers that be planting the idea of her as the winner in peoples' minds.

I don't understand how you can get 40 for a Tango that was barely a Tango, wasn't staccato or slick, was more like a slow quickstep.
Also, after the judge's harping on all series about Jay's facial expressions, I was gobsmacked that there wasn't a mention about how a beaming clown smile isn't the correct facial expression for a tango ...

Her Tango was not worthy of a 40 at all in my opinion, but her Showdance was fantastic and more than merited it in comparison to the nines Jay's one received. Having said that, it's clear that the judges are in her corner now (a la Caroline last year), so let the pimping further continue into the second half, I would imagine...

I would have been OK with the 40 for her show dance, if she hadn't been totally overnarked for that tango. It didn't have a tango feel at all- the tango isn't a singalong gurnfest last time I checked... Which is exactly what Kevin was doing.

I agree with you, she also had her foot flexed up when it should have been pointed down, wasn't in hold properly in the Tango and a big no to smiling too.

Having said that, the others made mistakes too - I just don't believe that Kellie's tango deserved 10s - 9s yes in line with Jay and Georgia.

Hugely overmarked. I love her spirit, but in comparison to Georgia and Jay, she was nowhere near their standard.

The showdance was dreadful - but that's Kev for you. OTT dancing with terrible gurning and terrible music.

That Lindy was a mistake and the tango was awful - but hell, she enjoyed herself!

The judges have an agenda - but when don't they? Some of the voting public (of which I am not one) will fall for their agenda.

They were the best of the night so far no doubt. But 80 definitely felt a bit much especially given the way the judges were judging others and practically laying into some of the other contestants. Left a bad taste in the mouth.
