1. C'mon, judges - yes, Ed was extremely entertaining AND he delivered a lot of content - don't just laugh at him.
2. Alijash in that shirt...
3. Craig to Kevin: 'You weren't showing yourself off, you were showing your partner off.' A little dig at Giovanni?
4. Why did they put Greg in a corset?
5. Very close tonight - the worst dancers were better and the better dancers worse.

1. Taken ages for me to like Danny but oh my what a sexy, sizzling, angry AT that was! Just brilliant.

2. Daisy's outfit was fabulous, she looked hot.

3. Claudia danced nicely but there is zero connection with AJ and that's why she won't win.

4. Ore had a difficult dance but was masculine and did it well.

5. Louise is coming out of her Shell and Kevin did a good job with her.

A cheeky 6. Rob Rinder was lovely and while Grandparent stuff normally annoys, this seemed fitting and rather sweet.

Re bullet point 3 I agree. If anything I feel like their rapport is going the other way.

1. Can't take AJ seriously, with his high school musical smarm. I mean charm.
2. Judge Rinder was good but didn't have quite the impact of last week.
3. I expected to be laughing at Ed Balls routine but it was a bit flat after last week.
4. Ore did a Rhumba quite well, what there was of it.
5. I don't get Greg Rutherford, despite him being a novice. Favoured I think.

1. Music streets better - not choice of, but performance -wise: singers tackling Korean!
2. Costumes better on the whole this series, but dance floor too busy and distracting.
3. Loved Natalie's dress and Greg's midair leap shapings.
4. Loved the "Gangam Style" for Ed but feel his weeks are numbered.
5. Technically awesome Argentinian tango, but too violent in its attack. The judges were right!

1. Danny and Oti good but agree with judges (&#128563 it was a bit frantic, I know it was depicting an argument but too much crammed into 90 seconds

2. Sorry but Ed was not good tonight, awful salsa moves and gangum bits not much better 😟

3. Liked Louise and Kevin's AS

4. Liked Daisy's outfit 😊

5.Awful to say this but don't really remember the rest 😳😱😳

1. Ed and Katya - great lifts, the rest was a bit naff!
2. Loved Roberts and Oksana's foxtrot and Robert's grandparents were adorable.
3. Louise's number could have been sassy, but instead it felt corny like a Charleston.
4. Danny and Oti's music was better than expected, and the choreography and technique were wow!
5. No ties on the leaderboard and it's getting harder for those at or near the bottom to avoid the dance off.

1. I still hate the rumba!
2. Judge RInder's grandparents are adorable
3. I know I am in the minority here but dont find Ed Balls entertaining
4. I think Claudia is (for me) one of the most improved dancers, shame the judges dont always recognise this.
5. Louise had the best music tonight, I'm starting finding her less forgetable

1. Ed Balls made my night SO entertaining!

2. I love Judge Rinder, his joy is infectious and I would love him to win.

3. I haven't been a big Danny fan but thought he nailed it tonight, really enjoyed that AT and Oti was fantastic.

4. Louise - not so much big spender as a trip to the pound shop. Boring again.

5. I love Karen & Joanne but even I found the "undermarked" chants a bit much.

1 Ed Balls was absolutely amazing! What a memorable performance and really gave a boost to an average show
2 I'm still waiting for the likes of Daisy, Greg, Ore and Claudia to come out fighting. They were all fine but they're letting the obvious top 2 get on with it.
3 For me the winner at the moment is Louise and I'm really enjoying Kevin a lot more this series.
4 I was surprised at Darcey's comment to Danny's Argentine. I assumed she'd have her 10 paddle waving around
5 Unfortunately, I can see a Daisy vs. Greg dance off and Daisy leaving. I don't think Darcey or Len would want to see our Olympian go.

1. Not enough mark variation from Len.
2. Danny and Oti were brilliant (and I hate Argentine Tangos.)
3. Louise just does not connect with the camera. The judges see something I don't.
4. Slightly better music overall but nowhere near good overall.
5. Shouts of 'undermarked' are hideously unsportsmanlike, especially by a pro who's still dancing competitively.

That also happened the other week, didn't it? Can't remember who the dancers were but don't think it was remarked on particularly.

I think you may be right, but I've never seen it so 'front and centre,' nor for a relation (I.e. no Aljasz/Janette shouting out).

Lousy marking again. they just inconsistent with comments and marks . If you can't think of anything wrong with it ,and say its really good, you need to give some reason why its not a 10. If its really good but you talk about signficant, or multiple faults, its not a 10.

2 find faults with Danny - so the other2 give him 10s. No one finds anything wrong with Claudia and they give her all 9s. It may be the right mark , but you would never get there from the comments.

1 - Louise seems to be getting more comfortable every week, starting to move ahead of the others.

2 - Despite dancing well Im still finding Claudia almost instantly forgettable.

3 - My dislike of the Rumba and Paso is increasing week by week.

4 - Daisy looked the best she has all series, pity about the dance.

5 - Ed Balls 😂😂😨😨☺☺

1. Danny and Oti's AT was the best dance this series by a very long way.
2. Louise did a good performance.
3. Didn't like the cat-calling in the Claudatorium. Reminder of last year with Kellie!
4. I liked Daisy's salsa.
5. What dance did Ore do?

1) Yay!!! Go Greg, Ed and Rob...improve, enjoy, entertain...it's what Strictly was meant to be about and used to be.

2) As above

3) See 1

4) As above

5) See 1

1) boring rumba, not a Joanne Clifton fan think her choreography is rubbish and the shouting not for me.

2) Danny and Oti AMAZING best dance 2 weeks running by a long way.

3) Cheesy Ed what a shocking dance not entertaining to me no do it he will make it to Blackpool

4) Loved Greg and Natalie sent a couple of votes there way

5) rest a little forgetful really

1. Loved the AT, but for me it would have been even better with the song slowed down and made more sensual.
2. Kevin and Louise did their usual strong performance, but she really doesn't do it for me - sorry!!
3. For the love of, get the novelty acts out of the Clauditorium NOW.
4. Ed neither bad enough to be laughable or good enough to cheer on.
5. My heart went out to Tommy and Lance, but whoever did the Gangnam singing did GOOD,

1. Danny and Oti - "Look how fast we can dance the AT". Started well and then became weirdly frenzied.

2. Oh Daisy and Aljaz, there was something badly missing.

3. Greg, I love you but you'll never be a dancer.

4. Ed, you're a showman. Who'da thunk it?

5. Rob Rinder, you're my favourite.

Loved Brunos comments for Dannys AT....completely agreed with him, and it was much appreciated (and imo overdue) after hearing what had been said before. Was surprised to hear such negative comments following such a fabulous performance.

Danny danced

Louise performed

And Ed entertained

Katya is doing brilliantly with Ed, managing to teach him to dance while getting maximum entertainment value out of it all too. I'm not a fan of the 'comedy' couple and haven't been a fan of Ed either - but have thoroughly enjoyed both his Charleston and his Salsa.

I needed a good laugh and Ed provided it ... a proper tonic and he gives it everything.
Louise is competent but there's hardly any joy or conviction in her dancing.
Danny would have done a fab AT ... given the right music. He and Oti attacked the dance which was the only way given that song and tempo.
Daisy looks fab but that was a wishy washy salsa.
Fed up with celebs (and pros) pleading for votes way in advance of Sat night. You expect it on the night but last week on ITT etc we had the judge going on about his grandparents and various celebs proclaiming their desperate wish for Blackpool. The judge was underwhelming but the emotion had already been laid on thick. He'll sail through I expect.

1. The 'non' dancers made it for me this week - Ed, Greg and Judge Rinder's love of dance shone through in spades, wonderful to see.
2. I thought Louise and Kevin's AS was rather bland. I was looking forward to it but it didn't do anything for me.
3. When are the judges going to take into consideration the music/story of the dance? You won't get a romantic rhumba to Evanescence, just as you won't get a non-aggressive AT when the couple are portraying an argument (and I loved Danny's AT).
4. While my husband's swearing at Ed Balls from the sofa, each week I find myself cheering him on for his progress (and I'm not and never have been a 'joke contestant' supporter, so it's all a bit weird for me).
5. Craig needs to sort his issue with Judge Rinder out. It's coming across as personal and unprofessional, whatever it may be.

1) Daisy is lovely, an absolute sweetheart, & she tried so hard with that Salsa last night & enjoyed it so much but, sadly she is perennially 'mid table' & is always going to be at risk of the DO & early elimination!! Such a shame!!

2) Loved Greg's Paso last night & handed him one of my free votes!! He just pulls off the performance so well in the more dramatic dances!!

3) Ore & Jo delivered a lovely Rumba but I don't know if it eill be enough as the public seem to have taken against them for reasons I don't understand!!

4) Go Ed & Katya!!!!!!! How entertaining was that!! There was much antocipation & they didn't disappoint!! Completely crazy but I, along with a large proporrion of the nation I hope, loved it to bits!!

5) AMAZING Argentine Tango by Danny & Oti but on a ppersonal level I prefer the mor traditional 'sultry & seductive' traditional ATs & actually enjoyed watching Louise & Kevin's more last week!!
Can't fault the technique & the footwork though or the storytelling!! It was indeed something special!!

1. That AT, wow! Wonderfully portrayed the lyrics they were dancing to. (Yes Craig + Darcey I'm looking at you)

2. Do hope whatever family issue upset Danny is improved soon, never nice to see someone as visibly struggling to keep it together as he was last night.

3. Really enjoyed Louise's performance last night for the 1st time.

4. Since when was 7 not a good score? Saw faces pulled at 7's last night.

5. Enjoying JR and didn't expect to!
