1. Danny undermarked for second week running
2. Ore & Joanne's waltz seemed very fast
3. Poor Ed
4. Worried for Greg
5. Get well soon Brendan but nice to see Gorka back even if it's temporary

1. Judge Rinder can actually look sexy, who'd have thought?!

2. Thank Brendan for his choreo and always say ''if we're lucky enough to get through'' when talking about the following week Anastacia : rookie errors

3. Ooh Robin Windsor. when does Irish DWTS start?

4. Poor Ed. But saved by the boob hurrah. Plus did he say Tony Curtis instead of Tony Christie?

5. Height difference between Lesley and Anton glaring tonight.

1, Claudia's Samba made me want to go back and watch Matt and Aliona's again. Danger of recycling songs!

2. Ore's Waltz seemed overmarked to me.

3. Judges were much more excited that the show deserved.

4. Ed quite impressed me up to the scary lift.

5. Anastacia looks better with Gorka.

1. All a bit meh tonight
2. Except Anastacia who finally showed improvement
3. Gorka!
4. Len made me laugh calling AJ's samba walk slow and oily
5. Wrong music choices

I also agree with your danny comment.

But generally:

1. Not a very wow week
2.Felt sorry for Greg as he's generally been very good.
3. Still think the marking is all over the place.
4. I think Anastacia was much better this week,
5. I dislike the rhumba

1) loved Anastasia and Gorka. Really light classy quickstep
2) Danny under marked
3) Loiuse dull
4) Shame about Lesley. That really wasn't her dance
5) Greg possibly in danger.

1. Whoever is responsible for choosing and matching the songs to the dances needs to get another job ASAP cause they aint very good at this one!!
2. Claudia is a lovely dancer but I think AJ can sometimes make the choreography a little too difficult.
3. I wish they would do away with the rhumba, pointless dance.
4. Marking was weird again.... Craig critisised Louise and then gave her a 9??
5. I thought Anastacia danced better with Gorka.

1. You know when Ed nearly killing Katya is the most exciting moment that the show was a bit of a bore, was Laura supposed to have the big moment dance or something?

2. Louise is consistently boring
but maybe all the talk about her needing to step up mightt make her better plus she has had some boring dances to start off with

3. I find Daisy consistently boring too, but unlike Louise she hasn't been told yet.I also don't hold out hope she can have a wow moment if she couldn't do it with a charleston maybe like last year with Helen the choreography is the problem as it's too boring and not stand out-ish

4. Cha cha isn't Gregs dance but neither was tango or salsa and I doubt rumba or samba will be either.

5. The puppet gag didn't land sorry Claudia

1) Claudia and AJ - she couldn't keep up and it spoilt the dance

2) greg and lesley both had a bad week and could be in trouble

3) Anastasia surprised me Seemed liked a change of partner suited her

4) Who the hell chose Amarillo for an american smooth - chosen i presume to make it a joke-y dance , Ed would have been better off with a proper less jokey song

5) Tess as ever is HOPELESS

1. Really Enjoyed Anastasia's Dance with Gorka
2. Found Danny's quite boring (especially with the accompanying song)
3. Liked Claudia's and AJ's (good on her for trying a hard dance but AJ made it a bit too hard)
4. Hope Lesley doesn't go as she is a better than she showed this week
5. Enjoyed Daisy's Charleston

1. Judge Rinder makes me smile!
2. Lesley's dance went wrong from start, what possessed Anton to have her crawling over a table?
3. Not sure about Danny & Oti's rhumba, reminded me a bit of their cha cha slowed down.
4. Eek! i thought Katja was going to do a face plant onto the strictly dancefloor.
5. Surprised at how well Anastasia danced with Gorka.

Kevin seems very muted this series. (I'm certainly not complaining)
Louise is Rachel Stevens 2.0 - good but bleh
I love Rinder & hope he's not in trouble this week
Ed. Oh my word. Time to go now before you give us a proper Halloween horror.
Lesley is starting to look like one of Lens pickled walnuts!

1. Very flat night, no Wow dance. Didn't miss Laura.

2. Thought Ore was overpraised and overmarked, he looked oddly hunched and flat footed at times during quite a dull waltz. Not sure if they are protecting him with the overmarking as he's not getting many votes, or just trying to make it look like a competition.

3. Daisy and Louise both seem lovely, but their dances are just 'nice' - they really need a Wow moment. All the couples who I find likeable with the best chemistry are the not so good dancers - Greg/Natalie, Lesley/Anton, Daisy/Aljaz - while the best dancers are leaving me a bit cold. (Also, Daisy weirdly reminded me of Miranda tonight )

4. Not been a fan of Anastacia so far, but her dance was one of my favourites tonight. Seeing her with Gorka made me wish even more that they would pair up by height first. Felt sorry for Brendan though - it can't be nice when your partner dances so much better with someone else.

5. Felt really sorry for Claudia - the music was a too fast, horrible mess, AJ over danced and I think she did well to keep it together as much as she did. I really wish Vincent was here to partner her as I don't think AJ is doing her any favours.

1) Felt so bad for poor Ed with that lift.

2) I'm worried about who we'll see in the bottom two with Laura taken out of the mix. Could be a week for a shock exit.

3) What the heck did they do to Daisy's hair?

4) I enjoyed Anastasia & Gorka's number.

5) Bless at how proud Kevin was of Jo & Ore's dance.

Thought Ore was fab last week but no wow this week. I thought I had been watching a different dance from judges he deserved 4 x8s. Liked Danny's dance 4 x8s would have been fair. Loved Daisy. Love Claudia and Aj but they did not deserve an 8 from Craig.

1 - Think Ed will be ok as I think a lot of people want to see a Halloween dance from him

2 - Anastasia could go though as Len said the danger words " your best dance yet". It's SCD's equivalent of the Football Club Board of Directors giving the manager a vote of confidence.

3 - didn't miss Laura at all

4 - Claudia & AJ - so disappointing, music far too fast

5 - all in all a very lacklustre week

1. Get well soon Laura!
2. Anastasia is loving Gorka ... and they're a better match
3. The judges favour Ore over Danny which can only be good for Danny
4. Greg is adorable. Who cares if he can't cha cha
5. I hate watching Kevin rumba ... it's torture

1. Think the bug going around the dancers really affected the quality tonight.
2. Leaderboard order was pretty much spot on, I think.
3. Can we cut the rumba out soon? I thought Danny's was really good, but the benchmark is just so low for a good male rumba.
4. I hope Greg gets a ballroom next week - the poor guy deserves a really good dance.
5. I enjoyed Claudia & AJ's dance - after a lacklustre week, I certainly didn't mind the energy boost that they provided and maybe it wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed watching it.

bonus 6 - PLEASE can we stop the guest appearances during the T&C's? The band last week was bad, but the puppet man was so cringey.

Expected more from AJ & Claudias Samba - a bit disappointed

Expected more from Daisy & Aljazs Charleston - a bit disappointed

Kevin and Louises Rumba - they danced well, but didn't wow me

Dannys and Otis Rumba - they danced well, but didn't wow me

Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed with the show tonight

(liked Joannes dress though!)

That's mean. It wasn't the same without Laura. She's my fave

1. As beautifully sung as I Will Always Love You was, I wish SCD would stop putting 4/4 songs into 3/4 time - it rarely works, and tonight was an example of that. There are plenty of songs that you can use for a waltz without having to rewrite them!

2. That said, Ore & Joanne produced the only really good, 9-worthy dance tonight.

3. I feared for Katya's life in that lift. Not sure why she decided to stick that in the choreography! The tiny bit of foxtrot they actually did was good, so I think she needs to go back to basics.

4. I still don't understand why people like Judge Rinder - he's a really poor dancer and his facial expressions are atrocious.

5. Daisy must have offended wardrobe really badly this week...!

Cheeky 6th (as always) - well done Anastacia!

1. My 17 year old son popped in when Danny and Oti were doing the rhumba, and said "Wow, they are good. I guess the man's the dancer and the woman's the celeb" !!!!
2. Ed's lift
3. Craig's 2
4. Thought Gorkstacia were very enjoyable
5. The Dailyash feet and hands at the beginning- thought that was very brave as any mistiming/lack of synch would have been magnified a 1000 times.

1. "Young hearts run free" should never be used again in strictly, kept thinking of Matt and aliona's samba, and waiting for claudia to do some back flips

2. Anastacia's dance with Gorka was great, fantastic footwork

3. Ed's got great footwork, stop making him the joke act

4. same with Rinder

5. Enjoyed Danny's rumba, and wasnt expecting too

....and finally judges marking

1.. Poor Ed, but other lifts were good, the most entertaining dance of the night
2. AJ put too much into the samba, sometimes less is more
3. Hate rumbas, most boring dance ever
4. Anastacia so much better tonight, really enjoyed her quickstep
5. Hated the ventriloquist act

1. Tess's outfit better this week, though the hair and makeup was a bit "primary colours"
2. Anastacia was light on her feet, my favourite dance this week. And her hair was nicely done
3. Music choices mostly terrible. Poor AJ and Claudia were stitched up terribly
4. It's nice when the training footage actually shows training rather than a silly stunt
5. I wish the routines would dance on the floor rather than clutter it up with set pieces and then jump on the judges' table.
