Brilliant! Should have got 10s all the way.

Craig "I loved it!"

Well clearly not enough to give the 10 despite no criticism from him.

She got all our votes.

I don't know WHAT she'd have to do to get a 40 if that didn't get a 40. Dance of the night for me and she is probably the semi finalist I've taken to the least during the competition.

Was an amazing QS and was undermarked by Craig and Darcy who obviously want her out and Ore in the final.

Best dance of the night. How often is she commended on perfect footwork?
I really don't know what the girl has to do. Hopefully the better judges..the public.. will pull her through.
You can't trust the judges to be unbiased if it is she and "BBC Ore" in a dance off.

Thought it was a spectacular dance- deserved 10s all round but she's been really under marked all season so am not surprised.

Really hope she gets through!

The ending spoilt it for me a bit as it was messy. But I did enjoy it. In fact I enjoyed both of the QS's tonight. That and the AT are my favourite dances.

Dance of the night & I thought the rhumba was also good.

Definitely should not be bottom of the leaderboard.

He agreed with Darcy about some gapping; he nodded when she was making the comment. Darcy didn't seems that picky about other dances however.

It is RIDICULOUS how she didn't get a 40.

For me, it was THE BEST QUICKSTEP I have EVER SEEN on Strictly.

That was fa-bu-lous darling. That's how QS is supposed to be, with traditional music, clothes, everything. Updating does not work, yee-haw!

Best QS of the series for me. Really tough choreography executed brilliantly.

You can say that again!

They haven't been unbiased so far, so why expect otherwise? Ore is bomb-proof in a dance-off, as they've already marked him higher than any likely competitor. Least deserving 39 for an AT ever - by far!

It was a proper authentic Qs and a competitors QS too, not easy. Claudia danced it very well indeed. As for gapping, yes she did slightly, but Darcey ought to try for herself and see how " easy" it is dancing at speed, with the rotation, synchronising timing with flicks and hops etc.whilst keeping posture, frame and then contact with no gap whatsoever

If a quickstep should have scored 40 it was this one. Brilliant, exhuberant, happy. What else did she need to do to get perfect scores from Craig and Darcey? I really hope the voters sock the judges one in the eye to keep her out of the DO.

Just watched it back - great footwork, smiles, top line, use of all the floor, the whole package. Proper QS, decent music and they should be very proud of that performance because she nailed it

Even I said it deserved a 40 - great though it was though, it wasn't a patch on Danny & Oti's - and even THAT didn't score perfectly.

So difficult to keep a proper perspective on things. Being frank, the judges do not have it easy...

Claudia's QS was the BEST dance she has ever done.

I was bloody pleased with her.

Fabulous what's Darcey all about she must go. Get Karen Hardy in her place or the wee one from Pussycat dolls that won masterchef
