Don't think Jill was ever as needy as Zoe for blatant publicity

It was a surprising choice, especially as the Samba wasn't her best dance! I would have understood her doing the Tango again. Her Samba on the otherhand looked sluggish and tired in comparison to the rest of the Pros.

I thought Zoe did much better than last year in the Samba. I really hated her Samba last year (though the music is cool!).. this time she looked like she'd really been working on the technique.. it was much more refined... I was pleased to see there was progress.

And sooo thankful the pros got to demonstrate still. Zoe did look outdanced if you are going to compare her to a pro but for a former strictly contestant she did well tonight. (And I'm not even a Zoe fan!)

Zoe must have been invited back, and I think she did a great job tonight. I also happen to think she was robbed last year, but there you go, we are told often enough it isn't all about dancing it's an entertainment show.

I was extremely fed up that Flavia didn't get a close up, I didn't even realise that she and Vincent were in the Pro dance until it was almost over, they are the smallest couple height wise, and I've only got a little telly, so could hardly see them!

Yet the other week on ITT she said that she hadn't kept up her dancing because Norm wasn't into it Hmmmm

I think she'll have been practising lots with Ian the last few weeks being that Ian is out of the competition.

I agree, well about her doing a great job tonight!

The dance was a nice twist on the weekly pro dances and Zoe kept her end up very well, so to speak.

It made for a very entertaining results show!

All I need now is for SCD to start at 8.00pm, be on for an hour and a half, then have a half hour 'comedy' show or whatever while I get something to eat, and then have the results show at 10.00pm.

And ideal Saturday night

Hit the nail on the head there methinks. Also isn't she a BBC employee...

Didn't like Zoe last year - too needy and her performance tonight di nothing to change my earlier thoughts.

It was just wrong.

Leave the pro dances to the pros

I loved seeing Zoe again. I hope this means we will also see Colin and Darren in future weeks? I think it's a great idea.

Zoe did OK, but she looked really outclassed amongst the pros... I'd much rather have seen Camilla.

NO, NO, NO! I don't wanna see celebs who have already been on SCD - no offence - but they've had their time.
The pro dance section is a highlight of the evening and I don't want it 'toned down', which it would have to be, to suit the skills of the 'amateurs', however much they've progressed.
Keep that part strictly professional dancing PLEASE.

Matthew & Nicole put everyone to shame! They're utterly fantastic, the others don't have a hope!

Well, she danced better than she did last year. I felt her Samba was danced on top of the floor, instead of into it.

This year, things were better. The beginning was a bit wobbly but when she relaxed into it it was OK.

Odd to have her there though and of all the dances she did on the last sereis, i would have preferred to have seen her tango.

Camera didn't stay long enough on Nicole Cutler - she was fab!

I was throughly disappointed with the "pro" dance tonight. It would be much better to keep to the professionals, I can't see why on earth Zoe Ball was part of it at all. It added nothing to the routine, and actually took my enjoyment away. It was nowhere near as good as the pro samba from last year.

Let's see if she presents SCD5 when it appears on our screens again next year, (in some shape or form) just watch.

Again, will have to say a big no. Absolutely love Colin. Think the man can do no wrong but I wouldn't want him being compare unfavourably with the professionals.

I didn't mind seeing Zoe back again dancing - and I thought she looked quite good.

I also like seeing Colin and Julian again.

Part of me would love to see my favourite contestants on again, but not like this. I didn't like the samba at all, I thought Zoe looked slightly ridiculous dancing with people like Matt and Nicole. If you want to invite an old contestant back then surely the logical thing to do is get them dancing just with their former partner, and performing their best dance (I'm sure most people would agree the Tango was her most memorable performance).

The BBC seems frantic to jazz up the pro dances with odd camerawork etc. They don't seem to understand they're filming some of the best dancers in the world, they don't need to add twists to make it good!

I just want to know if there was some reason Camilla didn't want to do the group dance this week - if she is maybe injured again in which case I can understand the thinking behind getting Zoe back. Well sort of.

I was SO disappointed in the group dance last night, Zoe just brought the whole thing waaaaaaaaay down.

PLEASE BBC DON'T MAKE THIS A REGULAR THING! The pro dance is one of the highlights of the show for me and last night's just wasn't any where near in the same league. Simply because of Zoe.
