Maybe we should all meet at a central location and all watch Strictly together? That'd be fun. I think some pubs clubs are missing a trick by not showing it on their big screens. |

Thoughts,
Ore and Danny again consistently good.
Greg, I was slightly disappointed. He seemed out of his depth.
(Forgive me if this sounds nasty but) I thought Lesley showed her age.
Anton with eyeliner and Ed, what was that about?
Kevin and Louise, sublime.
Daisy and Aliaz, the white shoes and gloves effect really worked.
I tough Anastasia looked beautiful and danced excellent.
Darcy in canary yellow.

Poor Ed... POOR KATYA!!! I covered my eyes for that big lift and then- when I uncovered them- saw that he'd dislodged her mic pack. Thank goodness he did the lift again and pushed it back up again... Well done Gorka and Anastacia. Good on yous two. And well done Judge Rinder- you give it your all. And I love that. AJ and Claudia... I love you!  |

Bit worried for Greg tonight I have to say. Really hope Anastacia isn't in the dance off tonight.

He was terrible!! I mean I love Ed, but that was one of the worst performances I've ever seen! I thought the first half was okay - he got into hold well and seemed to be leading, but then it went all wobbly and he had a haunted, fearful look in his eyes. But I loved Anthony's 'well done, Ed!' because at least Ed didn't cry or blame anyone else (which, frankly, is what I would have done.) Also the Gorka Klaxon above made me laugh out loud. Strictly is a unifying thing. ;-) Thought this week was down a tiny bit - Greg's weakest dance, Laura's absence - Liked Danny's rhumba, somehow it wasn't embarrassing, and Ore's lovely waltz. |

Was a bit underwhelming this week I thought. Some weak dances and some technically good but rather bland dances (Louise, Ore).
Danny far and away the best again this week for me. Liked Daisy and Claudia showing ambition in their dances too.
Anastacia made a nice improvement. Rinder gave it a lot of enthusiasm which I admire.
Concerned for Greg, he struggles with Latin a lot but think he definitely deserves to stay over Lesley and Ed.

It was a bit flat after a few stellar performances last week. Slightly awkard that Anastasia does her best ever with a different pro. I suspect she is save this week.
Lesley, disappointing. And her costume was horribly unflattering. Sucked the life out of her.
Louise continues to phone in her performance. Totally agree with the judges, step it up and take a risk love. Too laid back.
Ore nice but boring. Can he only shine in Latin?
Ed, don't they usually protect the guys from underarm sweat? If so why not him? Again I feel there's a bit of a "let's all laugh at Ed" thing going on. I think his pro is fabulous and so dignified in the face of all that ridicule. Love her.
Daisy, I loved the openening sequence but after that I thought she looked horribly ungainly. Lanky girl doing charlston and it didn't work. Judges can't say that because she is in the chosen few.
That tiny Claudia is fab. Shame AJ screwed up the choreo and made it hard for her to shine.

Anastasia does better routines with Gorka than Brendan and the marks prove that!! If Brendan can't dance this week again then Anastasia could get further into the competition with Gorka

You also don't know what Gorka brought to the routine to add the necessary finesse. I respect your opinion but the performance itself is only half of the whole picture. |

You also don't know what Gorka brought to the routine to add the necessary finesse. I respect your opinion but the performance itself is only half of the whole picture. Yeah that is true. However, I just find it a weird coincidence how Anastasia got her best mark and did her best dance when she had Gorka rather than Brendan. I think Brendan was off for the majority of the week too and Gorka did most of the dance?? I like Anastasia and hope she stays in so if she gets lower marks with Brendan again then I think Gorka is the one who got them a good score. Oh and I think Anastasia and Gorka's chemistry is better. |

Well I totally disagree with the result tonight. Not only that those 2 should not have been in the bottom two, but I thought Lesley performed her dance better in the dance-off in comparison to her first time, whereas I felt Daisy's dance-off performance was sloppier and even more tired than her first time. Very weird - obviously looked different in the studio!
I honestly thought it might be Ed's week to go. I really admire him and think his commitment is commendable, but really his last two weeks have been (almost literal!) car-crashes. But as long as he's in, long may he keep trying!

I'm hoping that this week was a blip and that Daisy will go a bit further in the competition- she seems such a lovely and warm personality, which has been a nice surprise!
I have to be honest and say that I am rooting for Rinder- no, he's the best and his technique is a bit lacking but I'm really enjoying his love of each dance shine through as well as his winning partnership with Oksana. No doubt I'll change my tune when he survives over someone like Claudia.
Claudia is actually the only one in the top 4 (along with Louise, Danny and Ore) who I've really warmed to. I think if AJ had toned it down just a little this week then her dance would have been spectacular!

Agree with you SO much here!! Neither of them deserved to be in the dance off but especially Lesley as she was so good and tries so hard! Ed is entertaining but he can't dance unlike Lesley and it annoys me how he's still in and people like Tameka and Lesley are leaving the competition. Was surprised Daisy was in the dance off over Greg as he wasn't very good this week and Lesley might've stayed if he was in the dance off |

I absolutely think it was the right result (other than Ed going). Lesley was joint second bottom of the leaderboard with Greg. I like her but I haven't really enjoyed any of her dances.
Next to go for me would be Ed and Judge Rinder but I think it's unlikely.
Daisy should never have been in the dance off. When she did dance for a second time, she finished perfectly in time and that definitely helped her case.
I have a feeling next week might be Anastacia's last. If she has a really fun, memorable dance like this week then she might be lucky.

Lesley seems like a lovely lady and was certainly trying her best but other than Ed and maybe Anastacia (who gave far and away her best performance on Saturday night) she was the worst dancer and her tango was pretty dire. I don't feel overly sad about her going.
Daisy being in the dance off on the other hand was ridiculous.

Lesley should never have left, She was always an absolute joy to watch. Personally, I think they should ditch the dance-off for a couple of weeks and just get rid of Dreary Daisy, Lacklustre Louise and Lifeless Laura - there's always usually a "nice but dull" celebrity who can dance nicely every year but this year we've got three of 'em! At least Ed Balls is entertaining.

Lesley def better than one or two still left in. Funny how a 71 year old can get in there week after week and two other celebs get injuries and a pro gets a cough. I hate how they give some celebs awful costumes and awkward character dances.

Well young age doesn't prevent anyone from getting breast cancer and then ripping mastectomy scars, from injuring your ankle or from getting a lung infection.

Yes, ok, sorry, sorry....I do know about all those things and of course you can become ill at any age. Just saying that she is quite a trooper. |
