1. Gorgeous show - standard extremely high, beautiful costumes, great pace and above all the love of dancing really shone through - loved the Argentine Tango and Danny's jive.
2. Great to see Pearl Lowe (Daisy's mum and dealer on Four Rooms) in the audience - and Greg's little Milo was a-dor-a-ble!
3. Agreed with Len - Giovanni overwhelmed Laura - he was so good he did her no favours as his partner. She looked really upset afterwards.
4. Ore's 'funny' faces really annoy me - he's a great dancer but I don't find him very authentic at times.
5. Yay Ed! And Judge Rinder. They are both working really hard and sooo enjoying it: 'So much fun doing things quickly!'

1. A return to form for this series - I was hopeful we'd get some great dances tonight and I'm very happy we did!

2. Sadly found Ore & Jo really lacking tonight. Messy lifts and rubbish choreo. Also, Jo's hair was a problem!

3. Greg is so much better at ballroom but needs to work on his faces badly!

4. Ed Balls doing well, looking well, Katya must work him very hard!

5. Louise & Kevin set a very high standard for the first Argentine Tango!

1. Welcome back Strictly - far better than last week!
2. Louise and Kevin surprised me with their Argentine Tango; she did a great job with it.
3. I might as well start the controversy... I preferred Danny and Oti's Jive to Ore and Joanne's.
4. Ed is improving; a very good performance tonight.
5. Judge Rinder can dance and it was good to see him put in a 'proper' performance.

1. The music was much much better tonight and suited quite a lot of the dances.
2. Judge Rinder did quite a pleasing QS. He may just be growing on me.
3. Still quite a bit of overscoring going on apart from one dance .
4. Feel a lot more comfortable for Greg when in ballroom mode. He seems so much more at ease.
5. Louise and Kevin........... Oh my Lord. That AT just absolutely blew me away. My favourite dance of the whole series so far. I am still absolutely staggered by that routine.

1. Natalie is worried - all that "he was pushing me round, who was that" stuff... Think Greg is well-liked and did a decent job so unnecessary - though genuinely thought he was going to hurl from his facial expression...
2. Cloudia & AJ - they so need some decent music!
3. Well done Louise - not sure it deserved the score but really good effort
4. Rob Rinder - great stuff; ditto Ed
5. Daisy - fear for her again much as I like her

1) Enjoyed the show. It was a high standard across the board and I reckon the voting will be quite close tonight.

2) Would be very surprised if Laura wasn't in the bottom two. Enjoyed the dance but it didn't stand out like the others (except for Giovanni's gorgeous spins).

3) Loved Claudia and AJ's Paso despite the music.

4) Thought Greg improved a bit tonight. Still needs to work on his facial expression though.

5) Bit worried about Ed and Katya being dressed in black which hasn't boded well this year!

1. Laura's samba - not an ounce of a double bounce
2. Louise - way overmarked - looked at the floor and wobbled a lot
3. Oksana managed to look nearly normal - shame Chimp Rinder couldn't...
4. A pink disco paso doble...really???
5. Greg's bum...leading the way again.

1. the pace of the show was fast, it sped by
2. loved Greg, Rinder and Ed dances the best
3. with a shoutout to Louise
4. Len seems to say the same thing every week, like he has for 11 years, it was fun in the beginning
5. standard of dances from best to worst, they're all very closeish IMO

1. Music much better this week although I'm irked that Cloudier never seems to get any songs pre-2002.
2. Non plussed by Louise & Kevin's AT. It was OK.
3. Love Greg & Natalie's partnership, glad Craig was nicer to them this week.
4. Judges scores were as wonky as Tess' left eye (I noticed this a couple of weeks ago & now I can't un-see it).
5. I'm fearing a Daisy/Laura DO with Daisy going but if it had to be one of those 2, I'd rather Laura went. I don't like the Samba much

1) Voted for judge Rinder for the first time, thought his dance was fabulous and he's really grown on me over the weeks
2) Ed, who I had predicted as first to leave the competition has greatly improved just wish there had been more dancing and less slapstick in his routine
3) Still love Greg, something about how much he is trying which makes me warm to him as a non-dancer
4) Louise blew me away, easy to do with fab Argentine music though. Bet no one disliked that dance
5) Reckon Laura and Daisy in the dance off. Both a bit unforgettable. Thought Ore was a bit off though so who knows...

1- Pleased for Danny and Oti. Great dance and finally some 10s

2- I really don't get the Greg love anymore He's very overrated imo. I actually think that Ed is a much better dancer than him. Imo he stayed stagnant and never really progressed.

3- My original prediction of Louise as the last woman standing still stands. Not a fan of hers but happy that she finally got her " breakthrough dance ".

4- Ed was amazing tonight. I really hope he stays tonight and goes beyond blackpool.

5- Overall great show tonight

1) Daisy's Waltz in Week 1 was far more better than her V Waltz - grappling at straws with a gimmic theme to get her votes.
2) Louise thoroughly deserved to be top but getting 10s no longer has the same sense of achievement like it used to.
3) Rinder and Balls got my votes - highly endearing and memorable who are both clearly enjoying it and wanting to improve.
4) I miss Lesley and it has left a slight hole in my enjoyment and interest this year - hoped she'd last until at least Blackpool.
5) If Claudia had danced to traditional Paso music then it would have been a knockout and break-through dance.

1) Ed looked so handsome tonight! He danced very well too.

2) I know Daisy's name is Daisy, but what kind of song was that to give the poor girl? What next, contestants dancing to nursery rhymes?

3) I like Laura but can't really take too much to Giovanni and though everyone left in is likeable, they are the couple I would miss the least.

4) I want to see the tango that Louise was dancing in rehearsal, when she wasn't worried about how it would look in front of her husband. It was a good dance, but it could have been a great one if she weren't holding back.

5) I love 'Shut up and Dance' but it was totally the wrong song for that dance. Having heard that Claudia is now back in training, I have a strong suspicion that she wants/needs to be out of the competition to concentrate on that, so they are deliberately trying to sabotage her (as her athlete's dedication and perfectionism won't let her sabotage herself).

1. My favourite show this season. Really good dances throughout and flowed very well. Only really dodgy song choice was for Claudia & AJ. They sang it well and I like the song but not for a Paso Doble.

2. I feel Ore was over marked - the last lift in particular was a rough transition at the end and I felt lukewarm about the routine. I probably am biased because I find him so cocky and disingenuous. I don't think a contestant has ever irritated me so much.

3. Thought Ed was very good, my fave Judge Rinder routine to date and a great return to form for Greg.

4. Think it'll be Daisy vs. Laura tonight but there could be a real shock given a few ties on the leader board. Poor Laura looked so upset and I've a feeling Giovanni was filling the dance nearly to protect her. She may have struggled all week and I admire a pro trying to protect their celeb.

5. It's going to be an exciting road to the final. So many contenders.

1. Danny was overmarked in my opinion - different planet to Jay's jive for example.
2. Really enjoyed Daisy Daisy.
3. Kevin and Louise - dance of the series so far for me.
4. Enjoyed both the "comedy turns" this week - they are both working really hard and enjoying it which is brilliant.
5. Did anyone else think that was an insult to Chas and Dave? Not only making them the silly fill in thing, but you couldn't even hear them when they did it.

1. WOW 😍 Louise and Kevin superb......a-maz-ing dharling😍 (Voted)

2. Greg looked very dizzy and nauseated but liked the VW a lot (voted)

3. Laura and Ore......messy, uncoordinated......not good

4. Ed's routine......VERY clever Katya 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

5. There were others 💃🏼 liked Claudia and AJ, pity about the music choice

1. Greg's Viennese Waltz - incredible
2. Danny's Jive - fun
3. Louise - overmarked and over-rated

1. Ed was great again! I'm slightly shocked.

2. I love Judge Rinder, I love his facial expressions and I love the sheer joy he exudes. Hope he stays around for aaaages!

3. Louise surprised me, not a classic dance nor a 10 for me, but a lot better than I expected and a step in the right direction after weeks of 'meh'.

4. Ore was good but for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I didn't love it.

5. Sorry Laura, lovely girl but a poor performance and quite possibly her time to go IMO. Gio did her no favours by showing off, he'd have been better off dancing a bit slower so she stood half a chance of keeping up.

1) One of the best shows of the series
2) Ed balls was better than decent he was (shock horror) RATHER GOOD!
3) I LOVED Louise's Argentine Tango and thoroughly deserved the 10s
4) Claudia was at disadvantage again with dreadful music and horrendous costumes.
5) Judge Rinder shocked me, he was GOOD!

1. What the hell was Giovanni doing? Me me me!!

2. Greg is in the poo.

3. So disappointed in the music choice for Claudia and AJ. Should have been a great paso.

4. What on earth was the gorgeous Tess wearing?

5. Danny, Louise and Claudia are still my finalists (assuming they've changed it to a 3 couple final now).

Bit In Bold- I don't understand why they are introducing filler acts.

1. For the love of patience Kevin, stop doing that stupid little kick at the start of every show!
2. Couldn't shake the thought that Joanne looked so much like Khloe Kardashian tonight:
3. Please stop giving Claudia and AJ stupid music, pretty please
4. Ed did well tonight, but it really is time for him to go.
5. Giovanni did Laura no favours by out dancing her.

1. I think it was Len that said Louise needed to bring some wow. They all thought she did it last week but I didn't really feel it myself. Tonight, she did really well and I was wowed by the table thing and the ending. I thought it was really good.

2. I remember last year I didn't choose a favourite until Georgina's Samba when she just zoomed across the floor. I noticed there was a section in Laura's that had the exact same choreography so it reminded me of that and making me miss Georgina.

3. A good quickstep from Ed but the slapstick (while good and acted well) was too long. I preferred Lesley's where they stopped here and there. There was some slapstick acting in that but then they carried on with the dance. This one felt like two halves: half of it was quickstep and the other half was slapstick.

4. Claudia's song. Took away all the drama and passion that makes the paso so enjoyable. Shame as I like both of them.

5. Wish they'd stop bringing in random people to do the terms and conditions. It is so irritating.

1. Greg's face, awful, nobody mentions it.

2. Judge Rinder's face fine, expression came when he broke hold, completely appropriate, he's completely slaughtered for it.

3. Laura, awful and Gio did her no favours with his huge show of it. He should have danced down a bit, not that, it just looked like she couldn't dance and he had to dance around her.

4. Danny, very good, I did enjoy it a lot, Oti lovely dancer. Danny did a slight cheat though with his jump-over, I'll let him off.

5. Didn't love Louise, good, but not great for me.


I did give Daisy a few votes as she did a pretty dance and hope she avoids the bottom two.

1) The show was so much better then last week

2) Giovanni two much showing off - you put Laura in trouble tonight

3) (tin hat time) Cant take to Danny and Oti in any way shape or form , Well overmarked as per usual

4) LOVED Ed and Rob Rinder they got my votes

5) as always TESS IS HOPELESS
