1. Anastacia was superb - the dance really suited her.
2. Poor Ed - that lift
3. LOVE Judge Rinder - he throws himself into it wholeheartedly.
4. Tess and Claudia - PLEASE stop saying 'we all loved it'!!
5. Claudia was pushed too hard by AJ.

I agree with ALL 5 of those and they are going to be my thoughts too!

1. What is going on with the disparity between comments & scores - Bruno & Craig?especially
2. Could have cried for Ed with that lift
3. Ore posture excellent & rightly on top of the leaderboard
4. Louise's rumba super boring
5. The ventriloquist skit fell as flat as a pancake!

Comments and scores didn't tally - felt Danny under marked again and Daisy

Poor Ed and those lifts!

Louise a disappointment

Hated Lesley's dress,

Didn't think Ore was that good this week.

1. I think Judge R and Oksana really "get" each other. They always look like they have fun

2. Louise is holding back, I think she lacks confidence and I don't think Kevin is used to that given his previous partners on the show (maybe Frankie was similar but slightly more confident). I really want them to succeed, though

3. Danny just makes it all look easy!

4. I do like Ore and Joanne a lot but I thought they were overmarked tonight, Ore needs to work on not showing how hard he is concentrating, it all comes through

5. Daisy's hair and makeup was vile, really distracting. How they managed to make a beautiful woman look that awful, I don't know!

1. Tess needs to shut up and stop arguing with Craig, thats not her job, she is just the host.

2. Ed needs to go, he just cannot dance despite his best efforts and I don't think he wants to become that joke act from comments he made.

3. If they mention one more time how great ore jive was I'll throw something at the TV. Why are they bigging him up so much?

4. Lesley's worst dance by far, Anton seemed to be dragging her around the floor for most of it.

5. Greg, for all his being a great guy from all accounts, just has too many issues with his footwork. Unless he is lifting Nat he is not a good dancer at all.

1) Anastacia much improved - really pleased for her and wouldn't mind Gorka staying as I think he improved her.
2) Ed was awful and I think it's his time.
3) Band and singers were absolutely amazing as per usual - Andrea did Whitney justice in what is a hard song to sing.
4) Really liked Claudia and AJ's dance, the energy was great.
5) Laura dropping out put a dampener on the show.

1) Show felt a bit flat tonight. Illnesses could have affected the overall atmosphere...
2) Danny is one hot guy
3) Didn't miss Laura, forgot about her actually
4) Think we might get a shock bottom two tonight
5) Felt sorry for Ed, might be his time to go but I reckon he could do a good Halloween turn next week so maybe not...

1. Danny was undermarked - again!
2. Ore was overmarked - I found it to wafty!
3. Louise's dance was a trifle boring!
4. Anastacia's dance with Gorka was her best yet.
5. I fear for Greg.

1. Learn from Ed- dances don't need mega-lifts- just nice ones.

2. However, a mega-messed-up lift could turn out to have been the liveliest talking point of an otherwise slightly lacklustre show.

3. Anastacia's height looks far better with Gorka's. Really liked their QS.

4. Just tell us once and for all- so we know who Len's aiming his criticisms at really- who chooses the (speed of) music?

5. I LOVE Ore- but didn't feel that waltz was a 36, even for a non-trained dancer.

1. I missed Laura & Gio alot, such a shame she had to pull out.
2. Loved Daisy's Charleston routine, especially the beginning.
3. Ore and Joanne's Waltz was wonderful and Jo looked stunning.
4. Anastacia's best dance, credit to Brendan for the choreo.
5. Hope Ed makes it to Halloween.

1. Big gaps starting to appear between the best and the rest.
2. If AJ decided on the speed of that samba it was a tactical error.
3. Anastacia danced surprisingly well tonight. Gorka seems to suit her better than Brendan.
4. I think Ed has had his last chance now, though I suspect he will be kept in.
5. Craig's scoring seemed even more random than usual.

1. Danny was boring and he performed a generic "I can dance" dance.
2. Claudia's dance was messy and lacked technique. I was gobsmacked at her getting 8s and 9s..
3. I agree with Len that Louise has plateaued. Her dance was lovely but overmarked.
4. Thank goodness for Judge Rinder showing us what Strictly should be about.
5. A bad week for Greg but I hope he survives.

1. Ore and Claudia overmarked, and Danny should have been top of leaderboard.
2. Felt sorry for Ed and that lift disaster.
3. Why did BBC waste money on sending Louise and Kevin to Paris?
4. Anastacia and Gorka were great together.
5. Dull, flat show tonight, Laura's missing jive to Reet Petite might have livened it up.

1. Judges seem to be going too tough on Danny, thought that QS last week was undermarked and he delivered a wonderful, wonderful dance tonight but again, felt judges were harsh.
2. Anastacia was a great surprise - gorgeous dress, lovely dance.
3. Ore is a great dancer but didn't think that waltz should be top of the leaderboard.
4. Louise has everything there, but wonder if she'll ever have that 'wow' moment with a dance.
5. Think Greg's popularity could keep him safe, but he can't afford to have many more dances like tonight's.

Agree with all of this, but especially BIB. How in the wide world did they manage to make Daisy look so bad?

Whole show was mediocre.. not one of them is improving.

Having said that at least Judge Finder entertained.

Silly Ed. He should have stuck to the dancing and cut the showing off.

Why all the drab grey, brown and black tonight.

Does Lesley always wear red ?

1. Loved Judge Rinder tonight - shame he was on first as pretty much everything after that was disappointing!

2. Louise.... zzzzzz.

3. Judge's pets are FAR too obvious. Louise got fairly poor comments with great scores. Daisy's slow Charleston got good marks. Judge Rinder was great, got positive feedback, yet he's bottom half of the leaderboard! Come on judges stop insulting us!

4. I don't like Anastacia and hope she leaves, but have to admit she did her best dance by far tonight. I think Gorka is a better match for her.

5. The first half of Ed's routine was so good, such a shame that lift went wrong although a 2 from Craig was very harsh as he was much better than last week. Again though, he'll be bottom every week regardless of how he performs.

1. I'm beginning to think Daisy is actually pretty good - she hasn't gone wrong once, she is humble and hard-working, gets on with it, enjoys it, and has made a good job of every style of dance she's been given.
2. I agree that Louise holds too much of herself back, she is a beautiful dancer but just needs to look as if she's 'in the moment' more. I did love that final move of their rumba when she lay right back and trusted Kevin to put her into the closing position.
3. This is the first dance of Ore's I haven't liked - he looked incredibly anxious, and I didn't personally like the overblown Whitney power-ballad - subtle as a sledgehammer.
4. Gorka is such a sweetheart! I think he made Anastacia feel good about herself.
5. Greg might have lost his mojo after being an early hit.

1/ So happy to see Gorka again.

2/ A tale of two halves tonight. First half of the show a little weak, the second much stronger.

3/ Thought we saw some really classy routines by Ore, Louise, Anastacia and Danny.

4/ Loved the upbeat party ending by Claudia & AJ.

5/ Poor Katya almost being dropped, but I loved the routine she put together. Would like another week of Ed. I'd rather lose Greg at this point.

1. No more 'acts' in the Clauditorium PLEASE. There is no need for them and tonight's was highly irritating.

2. I knew Brendon didn't want to dance with Anastasia, she looked so much happier tonight, but I wish she would engage the brain before talking.

3. The love for Anton will save Lesley .... such a poor dance she should be in the bottom two with Ed

4. Right at the start of the show Tess said we've had 4 eliminations .... do your research Tess. For one moment I thought Brucie was back.

5. Ed Balls (Up) will be saved, Greg for the chop tonight.

1. Anastacia looked like she was having a great time dancing tonight.

2. Loved Rob and Oksanas dance.

3. I've tried but i can't take to Louise and Kevin.

4. I don't like these novelty "turns" i.e. ventriloquist/barbershop quartet.

5. Daisy and Aljaz seem to have a great partnership.

1. The show was flat and rather boring tonight. I kept hoping that someone would come out and do a routine that would wow me, but it never happened. Really disappointing.

2. Ed and Katya's lift was frightening. I thought I heard someone scream in the audience. I think it's time for Ed to go home.

3. I felt the judges overmarked Louise & Kevin and Ore & Joanne. It's pretty clear who the judges' favourites are. The judges comments often didn't match their scores.

4. Anastacia looks so much better dancing with Gorka! There is not such a height difference and it seems to improve her frame.

5. It's a shame that AJ choreographed such a fast routine. Claudia struggled to keep up and he outdanced her imo.

1. Aww, poor Greg!!
2. Glad Ore didn't blub again. Plus, I thought he too looked uncomfortable in his dance.
3. Tonight reminded why I really don't like rhumba.
4. Claudia was snookered by the speed of a song I don't remember being that fast on the original record.
5. Aw cr*p, it's Halloween next week

1) How could the judges not comment on Ore's legs shaking to which he admitted about - so overmarked.
2) Disappointing dance from Lesley - hope they survive because their Halloween Jive could be interesting!
3) There's no denying Danny is a talented dancer and was expecting him to get more lavish praise - rather he won than Ore.
4) Claudia does nothing me and in a comparison 'type' I much preferred Dani Harmer. At least AJ isn't another Jarad.
5) Agree that the show felt flat - there was no standout dance and less enthusiasm in the upstairs pit.
