[Strictly Jake]

Fantastic show tonight. I loved Sarah, Montell, Tasha, Jamie and Shayne tonight!

[Mystic Mock]

Personally I thought that Shayne was really poor.

Or should I say the choreography was the problem for me more than his dancing.

Jamie was very good though imo, and Sam and Tasha definitely had some of their better numbers imo.

And Pete was the Joker so that always gets a few bonus points off me.

Nancy needs to starts showcasing her celebrity.
She made that dance all about her.
Shayne is perfectly capable given the opportunity.
Michelle is perfect and showing what Jamie can do. He doesn't even like ballroom but he smashed this.

This is the first dance of Pete that I've liked. As I can't stand him. But that entrance was epic and the choreography amazing.

That was my exact issue with the dance.

Shayne for half of the dance is just waving a stick around, imo he should be bottom of the leaderboard because there was hardly any dance content in his routine.

Well I agree with you personally, for someone that doesn't like ballroom Jamie did an incredible job.

[Kate!]

Sam and Nikita were criminally underscored. Wynne as usual was overscored.

[Nicky91]

Chris & Dianne: criminally underscored, of course a zombie character lacks fluidity, those judges really need to watch the walking dead some more some excellent botafogo's, volta's in there, and those disco moves were on point as well 9

Pete & Jowita: his timing was indeed very much off, however the characters were played perfectly and the dancing wasn't too bad either 7

TeamMoJo: how brave of our queen to be dancing those cuban breaks in front of the judges desk, absolutely exposed, playing with the judges i always like in these cha cha's, we gotta love that bit of sass, well done queen 10

Punam & Gorka: once again, another mediocre performance danced inward instead of towards the audience, which we know she is capable of in her bhangra, disappointing 3

Wynne & Katya: it lacked some hip action okay, but damn how light on his feet he is, and those lifts, well this was a clever typical Katya signature choreography, top notch entertainer, but would've liked more hip action 8

JB & Amy: there was mostly focus on technique here than playing the character, the part where he did play the scarecrow character was very lame, lacklustre, shame shame on Amy, she keeps letting her partners down 5

Tasha & Aljaz: i'm speechless, wow 10

Shayne & Nancy: i disagree with Shirley, there was a lot of leading by Shayne actually, he was the ''maestro'' with his conductor stick, and Nancy had to follow his directions, i agree with Craig, very refreshing take on the paso doble, also its not traditional music but classical music is my next favourite music for this dance now 9

Jamie & Michelle: my fave bits were when they lifted each other, Michelle is quite strong, damn gurl! fabulous performance 10

Sarah & Vito: dracula themed, well more like Vito channeled his inner Stephen Moyer aka Bill Compton from True Blood there, and Sarah didn't make a too bad take on Sookie either, chemistry was off the charts, the lift in the beginning didn't go perfectly but was extremely difficult so well done for trying your best there, but this was a slick, solid argentine tango, Spookilicious 11

Sam & Nikita: underwhelming i'm afraid, those kicks and flicks were good yes, but everything was dull and uninspiring, dancing by numbers 2

[Nicky91]

Sam hopefully gone tonight

You tell him Joey.

Plus he only gave Perfect Pete a 7/10.
























I'm only messing with you really @Nicky91 it's only a Celeb dancing Show, I like to try and have a laugh with Strictly.

The only thing that I am serious about in this series is an anyone but Chris to win mantra.

I really like them too Kazanne .
I think she's improved too over the weeks.

I also rate Nikita too, he generally devises superb routines, out of the ordinary at times and challenging ones.

Great to see you posting Kazanne.
Hope you're having a good weekend

[Vanessa]

Jamie and Michelle are my favourites.
But I also like Sam and Nikita.
Pete is improving so much. That dance was brilliant.

then Lauren can possibly replace her if necessary for next week?


if one pro can't dance, another can step in, has happened before (also in DWTS USA many times)

[Nicky91]

JB & Lauren will also be a good pairing i think, i mean Lauren did amazing with Krishnan last year (someone lesser capable dance potential wise than JB even)


hoping Lauren can also step things up in terms of more ambitious routines, since Amy kinda plateau'd with him, and JB has so much potential to be so much better
