1.Step forward Judge Rinder, you are charged with stealing Ed Balls dance shoes.I find you guilty and sentence you to the dance off again.Plus did we have to see him humping that pole from last week again?
2.I found Claudia and AJ's salsa the most enjoyable dance, just knew one of the judges had to give them a ten
3.The human candy floss obscured my view of the majority Ore and Joanne's dance, so no idea if he was good or not.
4.Danny's tango lacked his usual bit of magic.
5.Louise still looks a little bit embarrased and her footwork was a bit all over the shop.

1. Sack the producer
2. Get rid of the backing dancers, especially Neil Jones, who makes Anton look shy and retiring.
3. For goodness sake sort out the music! Nothing goes with anything.
4. Well done to all the celebs and pros for managing to dance at all given all the rubbish they have to put up with.
5. Stop trying to win the younger viewers. If they are interested they will watch anyway, if they are not they won't. You are destroying what has been the best Saturday night television with all your gimmicks.

1) Claudia was brilliant. Don't agree with what Darcy was saying about characterisation. I thought she was going for feisty little lion cub (and succeeded) not a fierce lioness.
2) Backing dancers were a distraction in Ore's dance
3 )Poor Brendan. What do the producers have on him that made him agree to do that?
4) Anton's swansong?
5) The bits at the beginning when they say "The competition is heating up, I don't want to go home, giving it everything, etc.." are very repetitive.

Perhaps I'm not putting it very well - an opinion is one thing but for one judge to say eg the footwork was bad or there were mistakes (factual not opinion) and give 7 but another says it was fine and give a 9 or a 10?

A very lacklustre show. The only danced I enjoyed was Ore and Jo's foxtrot.

1) AND WE HAVE A WINNER...in the "Daftest Neckline To Put Tossa In" competition!!!

2) Shouldn't someone have had the same courage as boy who said the King was naked...and told Tony Beak he can carry a tune with same accuracy and strength as a blind double hand amputee could carry an egg on a teaspoon through a maze.

3) You can put more dancing lilies and other extras on the floor than Kew Gardens has plants and it still be an annoying borefest.

4) Thank goodness we had an ambulance called out to the street to deal with an emergency to liven up the evening.

5) Thank goodness the ambulance did not arrive until after Rob Rinder had performed.

1. Music suited the theme rather than the dances.
2 Judges in overdrive manipulation mode.
3 None of the dances deserved 10s. They all had faults.
4 it is obvious from last night who the judges are trying to get through to the final.
5 The highlight for me was the pro routine from West Side Story. Totally captured the feel of the musical. It was a great end to an underwhelming evening.

You took the words out of my mouth - hate to say it, but I wanted to switch off - fed up with the backing dancers and poor music choices.

1. As a homage to musicals the show was 'OK'
2. As a supposed Ballroom/Latin show it fell pretty flat
3. Scores way too high
4. Why the backing dancers again, just why? Meh
5. Roll on next week

Ah I see. There's a very simple answer to that - the judges all have different backgrounds and some wouldn't know correct Tango footwork (for example) if it came up and hit them in the face. Anyone who think Bruno and Darcey's marks in particular are based on technique is kidding themselves. Both will have picked up a bit about ballroom technique over the years, but only Len is really qualified to judge on technique. That isn't what it's all about in any event.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

1. Everyone was overmarked last night. Nobody deserved any 10s. That said, the order of the leaderboard was about right.

2. Please put Rinder out of his misery this week, it's getting painful to watch now.

3. Wtf was with that music being chosen for a tango? Much like Jo with the paso last week, Oti did well to get anything remotely tango-esque out of that.

4. I enjoyed Claudia & AJ the most. It really wasn't a salsa though (am looking forward to their showdance if they get through to the final though, the lifts will be spectacular).

5. The West Side Story dance was the highlight of the show.

1. As far as I am concerned, they can do that WSS dance as the pro dance every week. Dance storytelliing, characteristation and technique at its very best.
2. Love Louise - but what was her dance again?
3. Felt Danny was hindered by having the least known musical/theme/tempo: my parents who are avid watchers would never have heard of Dreamgirls or that song. Whilst grandchildren have made Lion King/Willa Wonka pretty widely known; both Calamity Jane and O What a Night have been hanging about for 40 years.
4. The whole 'give Claudia a 10' stuff is really irritating: she was my fave last night, but is still spotting the floor and is still pausing between movements - things they have been telling her about for weeks.
5. Jo and Ore didn't deserve 9s for that lacklustre dance - I really thought it would be the wow of the evening as it was such a great tune, but it just wasn't. Then, of course, everyone had to get silly high marks to put them in the right order on the board.

Sneaky 6. I don't wait all week to see a load of backing dancers get in the way and bring nothing extra.

1. Claudia my favourite tonight, which I wasn't expecting

2. Was disappointed with Lou and Kev's QS

3. Show felt a bit bare, should really be doing two dances each when they get down to 5 (Curse you Will Young)

4. Bloody flowers ruined Ore and Jo's foxtrot for me

5. Is Neil Jones using the backing dancing (noticed this at Blackpool as well) as a plea to have a partner next year?

Ore needs to sort his game face out as he looked so disappointed in those 9 scores

Loved Claudia thought it could of done with less lifts as she was dancing so well.

Sack whoever chooses the music, we need to go back to appropriate music

Totally done with Chicago routines there are other musicals.

Wasn't enough quick step in Kevin and Louise more of a show dance really although I did enjoy it

5 thoughts from Results show.

1. Thrilled Louise, Ore and Claudia are through to the Semi.
2. Jo looked so nervous waiting for the Judges decision, absolutely delighted for her that after sitting out last year she's formed such a wonderful partnership with Ore and made it all the way to the Semi. She choreographed my favourite dance of this series, their American Smooth to 'Singin' In The Rain'.
3. AJ is the new Pro to make it the furthest in the competition, congrats to him.
4. Oksana like Katya has been a star this series, lovely moments between her and the Judge and what a last dance song in 'Defying Gravity'.
5. Elaine Paige gave a mesmerising performance, just love her.

1. That was not a Quickstep. Not sure what it really was, most closely resembled a dog's breakfast in poo-brown outfits.

2. Ore & Jwann - flat. The dancing triffids didn't help. When there's more life in a dancing mutant backing plant, you know you're in trouble.

3. Loved Danny & Oti. Really surprised, I thought he woild be a real himbo, but he's not at all.

4. Please will someone with half a brain take Tess dress shopping for next week?

5. Cloudier & AJ have given up dancing and just gone for a gymnastics floor routine.

1. Rinder was uncontrolled and loose - looked like King Louie from Jungle Book
2. Louise made a breakthrough - she moved from beige to taupe
3. Cloudia nearly started to dance there - amazed how more normal she and AJ look in that makeup
4. Ore's sideburns and beard make him look like he's a horse wearing a bit
5. Were Danny and Oti given a new dance there - speed tango?

I really didn't

My main take-away from the results show is that Danny has gone up loads in my estimation because, once they announced that it was Robert & Oksana in the dance off rather than him and Oti, Danny's first reaction was to walk straight over and commiserate with them.

Given that I will never, ever forgive Olly Murs for not shaking hands with Jedward when he was saved over them, because I feel it was an indication of his character that he didn't - I am always on the lookout for sportsmanship or lack of it, and Danny's reaction really impressed me.

mirandaweb, your two paragraphs set out exactly how I feel! Seeing Danny go over to Robert really made me choked up! And as for Olly Murs, words fail me what I think about him.

Think Ore got the short straw with the least wow dance of the evening.

Judge got the death slot

Louise - more an showdance than a QS (and Craig didn't say a thing - unlike Greg's Rumba)

Claudia - lovely routine - well done AJ

Danny - overmarked - Craig and Len both pointed out the footwork but Darcey and Bruno didn't care

Sneaky 6 - scoring was utterly ridiculous - none of the routines on Saturday deserved a 10

I think Danny's a really good egg, as the saying goes. He said lovely things about Ed too and seems to get on well with the group whilst working hard and fretting when he gets things wrong. He's a ringer that I won't mind winning

1. "She was just fabulous in the line dance" Darcey succinctly sums up Louise and Kevins quickstep that wasn't a quickstep
2. Danny may look a bit like a Ken doll but he's anything but. A warm, modest and likable man who has grown on me week on week.
3. Judge Rinders dance made me sad. It was littered with moves from his previous dances. It was the end for him and he knew it
4. The dancing flowers in Ores dance were bloody ridiculous. Please stop it with the backing dancers. It's just about acceptable at Blackpool on that huge floor but has never worked in the studio.
5. Most of the joy was missing without Ed and Katya
