Bloody awful ~ he needs to go.

Bobby underscored.

[Kate!]

Just voting now.

[joeysteele]

Layton and Bobby my best 2.
For 3rd can't decide between Annabel and Nigel.
So a joint 3rd.

I didn't think Annabel would be good in a Jive.

[Kate!]

I've cast one vote each for Bobby Layton and Nigel.

My opinion of tonight's dances.

Ellie & Vito - Samba - I thought that the dance was okay, nothing really stoodout about it for me, but she wasn't terrible either - 6/10

Adam & Luba - Waltz - To me this was really overscored, I honestly don't know what the judges were seeing tbh, I thought that it was stiff - 4/10

Jody & Jowita - Salsa - I feel like I have tried to be fair to Jody in the competition given that he is disadvantaged, however I feel like he could've done much better than he did with this dance, definitely his worst dance so far imo - 2/10

Amanda & Giovanni - Foxtrot - Foxtrot's aren't really my thing, but Amanda is consistently a solid dancer in the competition - 7/10

Krishnan & Lauren - Paso Doble - I personally found it to be really fun, I liked the routine and song choice, technically not the best dancer in the competition though - 7/10

Zara & Graziano - Viennese Waltz - Tbh I can't remember much about the dance so that's not a good sign - 4/10

Annabel & Johannes - Jive - I think that it's the first Annabel dance that I might actually remember - 6/10

Eddie & Karen - American Smooth - There's no way that this dance should be having Sex Bomb as the Music - 4/10

Layton & Nikita - Cha Cha Cha - A very confident performer which is good to see, imo one of the better dancers in the competition - 8/10

Nigel & Katya - Salsa - Nigel is probably the contestant that I'm liking the most so far (so he isn't likely to win) but I also did enjoy the dance, I think that the judges are a bit harsh on his dances after the first week, they always like to make digs at him whilst being softer on weaker dancers - 8/10

Angela S & Carlos - Viennese Waltz - It was an okay performance, she has done better in the past though - 6/10

Angela R & Kai - Rumba - It didn't really feel like a Rumba - 4/10

Bobby & Dianne - Tango - Tbh the routine and song choice didn't work for me - 4/10

Leyton is so obviously a trained dancer. This guy teaches dance. He already knows how to dance. What's the point of him being on the show?

[Nicky91]

alright, my thoughts and scores

Ellie & Vito: no samba rolls whatsoever, it was a nice vegas showgirl act but not a samba, not her finest hour 5

Adam & Luba: proper beautifully danced waltz, loved it, this to me is what strictly is all about 9

Jody & Jowita: lifts were not very exciting either, no hips, no movement whatsoever, reminded me of Judy Murray's rigor mortis all of her journey on that dancefloor lol 1

Amanda & Giovanni: beautifully danced, but yeah she can let go some more pls, i am sure she is capable of selling a performance divinely well but this was decent 7

Krishnan & Lauren: this man keeps being full of surprises, wow wow wow, the commitment to that Paso character Juan, for a non-actor, non-dancer this was fab 8

Zara & Graziano: from the dance off last week to delivering that magical viennese waltz this week, well done it looked good and clever with the smoke to hide her footwork 7

Annabel & JoJo: with this hair style she reminded me of Emma Peel tbh, loved the theme, loved the cartwheel thingy, also in sync with each other, good energy for 57 whew, once again i loved another dance from sweet Annabel and lovely JoJo 9

Eddie & Karen: i actually liked the swing version for that song, i also disagree with Craig and Shirley, nowhere near a dance disaster in hold, i thought there was little to no gapping in hold and the out of hold moments were brilliantly showy, clever choreographed little thing 8

Layton & Nikita: a 10, seriously Motsi, also his legs could've been more straightened throughout the performance like all the way through, i saw some bend leg moments and in cha cha, needs a straightened leg action all the time, i hate disco latins this was cheesy overload for me, no thank you 4

Nigel & Katya: YUM YUM YUM, this is how i like my salsa's the most, traditional music YASSSSSSSSSSSS! not an overload of lifts, but also very nice variation in armography, loads of amazing hip action, as well as good musicality, well done 9

Angela S & Carlos: mediocre at best, i thought Zara danced the better of the two VW's this week, also not enough storytelling for me personally, danced by the numbers, bit generic

Angela R & Kai: what a masterpiece this was, and yeah Craig jessica lange vibes - freak show i think of her ''life on mars'' act, back to the rumba, amazing hips, footwork was GORGEOUS, the backbend move divine, as well as the finish pose with the burning wings behind her, couple of splits also amazing, whats not to love about this, from a 79 YR OLD absolute legend Never Too Picky its a10 from Nicky

Bobby & Dianne: am surprised those judges didn't mention it but he missed a few heel leads i paid close attention to his footwork, also this outfit wasn't a tango outfit, idk what i was watching anyway, bit overscored even if you ask me, no for me 2

Probably to improve the standard of the year a little bit.

I mean if you take Layton out of the Show there's only really Nigel & Amanda that can dance really well imo.

Mmm, still think he has too much of an advantage.

A fairly decent performance to open the show.

Underscored.
Haven't a clue what Craig wants.
