What normally makes you so enjoyable, Ed, is the fact that we aren't just laughing at you, because you're not that bad a dancer. Tonight though, we were all definitely laughing at you. Nice pull-through at the end, but the rest was truly awful, I'm afraid.

I’m surprised the difference is so small, in all honesty…

TWO MARKS FEWER

Probably with a considerable improvement on that, Naga and Pasha…

Naga Munchetty and Pasha Kovalev dancing the Charleston to ‘Minnie the Mermaid’ (Firehouse Five Plus Two)

Craig – 5
Darcey – 6
Len – 7
Bruno – 6

What a bloody waste of time all these frigging days out to ‘capture the spirit of the dance’ are. (That’s not specific to Naga and Pasha, more I had the urge to say it and felt here was appropriate.)

Well the performance side of things has hugely improved, and the first 75% of the dance was pretty good, but then you lost timing and energy, and made some very unsightly poses in the lifts. A shame because it would've been your best dance, but still, t'was decent enough.

Continuing a fairly static runs of marks from our judges today…

MATCH THEIR SCORE

Onto our next couple, Louise and Kevin…

Naga only scraped that 7. She very nearly ended up with a 6

The first of two blasts from the past for Brendan. I’m inclined to think this one was more welcome.

Okay so the sofa is unnecessary and lots of faffin about at the start, was nice once foxtrot got started, though the singing was crap, really nice footwork and nice frame etc. You seem very nice and down to earth apparently though.

Without Bruno getting overexcited on the end…

ONE MARK LESS

Time to take a look at Danny and Oti…

Fair to say Danny would be missing a few limbs if he tried taking the song title literally with Oti…

As Darcey said, pure class from start to finish. A truly fantastic Quickstep to watch.

The first Our Way ten of the series? (I think, may be wrong…)

MATCH THEIR SCORE

Next to dance were Daisy and Aljaž…

That was mainly for Oti, I'll admit.

A good dance considering it's a rumba. Just a tad wafty in places but still enjoyable to watch. Candles were also nice.

Our first improvement of the round…

ONE MARK MORE

With their Viennese Waltz, Robert and Oksana…

That's what I thought. Or am I thinking of Izzie's other series?

EDIT: Yes then

If you’re wondering what really made Brendan ill this week, I’m pretty sure the thought of Lulu getting royalty payments for this dance probably didn’t help…

I realised that pretty much as soon as I posted. Clearly last night's wine hasn't worn off yet. I was guzzling the whole bottle after Ore pretended to cry again.

To sir with love: this wasn't quite a routine to shout about, nor did the dance relight my fire which was ignited in week one (and since lost, via the medium of Meghan Trainor and cavemen wigs and lederhosen). You came aht with plenty of attack, as if you were the man with the golden gun on speed, but there wasn't enough hold and more than enough cow(bell) for me. That said, the little you danced was rather good, and even if this Polish Eurovision entry circa 2014-esque Viennese Waltz didn't float the boat that I row, your performance did leave a little love in my cold, cold heart. Something something The Man Who Sold the World. Sorry, I think Brendan's just fainted...

I’m glad I wasn’t the only person getting Slavic laydeez flashbacks during this routine. That and The Third Reich…

ONE MARK LESS

The penultimate performance came courtesy of Lesley and Anton…

Lesley’s rather hectic schedule this week does somewhat put ‘HAD TO DO THE SCHOOL RUN!!!’ to shame, doesn’t it?

You never fail to impress. I think your work load may have hindered you a bit this week and still with that you done an amazing job Lesley. Brilliant kicks and energy.

The scores have been flipped, but still a very impressive total for this pairing…

THREE MARKS FEWER

Finally, it’s Ore and Joanne…

I do find it a little bizarre that massive Strictly super fan Ore hadn't heard of the Tango until three weeks ago.

And yes, I may have started humming Tomorrow Belongs to Me during Rinder's dance.

Better than Jay's jive (Doesn't mean much though), you're very talented though, Joanne'c choreography was surprisingly good, not as 'wow' as people are making it out to be though.

It was always highly unlikely that it would live up to its original score here (it did score the same as Jay’s though, if we’re sticking with this comparison malarkey) but another ten there to add to their scorecard…

THREE MARKS FEWER
