Caroline bores me

[Amy Jade]

How did Harvey get 9's with that and Clara got 5's??

[Denver]

I don't get the love for Johannes? I think he is a terrible pro and hasn't done anything in 2 series that is standout

[Denver]

She would do better with a pro of a similar height

[Kate!]

That was crap. Worst performance of the night imo.

[Amy Jade]

Shirley cackling but she's pretty much the same over Harvey and JJ?

[joeysteele]

Is Shirley drunk.
She loved that, ... really!.

[Kate!]

Shirley is a witch. Cackling is a perfect description.

Clara must have upset someone to get rigged out so hard this week

There'll be a lot of protest votes for her hopefully.

[Morgan.]

Twitter are literally seething at the Clara rigging

[joeysteele]

Good grief, they called that 6 points off totally perfect.

[Amy Jade]

Shirley will have an orgasm if Clara and Maisie are in the bottom 2, she won't be able to contain herself.

[Denver]

I think Ranvir was the best of the night personally

[Amy Jade]

I like Ranvir but she doesn't look lustful at all but that was really good!

[Kate!]

That was a great performance

[Denver]

I am predicting a JJ and Clara B2

[Amy Jade]

My ranking...

1. Maisie
2. Ranvir
3. Jamie

I voted Caroline and Clara

[rionablue]

Sorry I am late to the forum I only got to see it later than it was on live. I thought Ranvir was outstanding. They have such chemistry In my opinion they deserved THREE 10s I was so disappointed they only got an 8 off Craig and a 9 off the cow. Jesus I used to like Shirley but I agree with many here on the forum she is underscoring the women and overscoring the men. I was FUMING when she said last week she would have SAVED MAX. Maisie was also great tonight. Her and Ranvir my favourite performances and kudos to Bill also. I just cant WARM to Jamie and yes he was good but did NOT merit the highest score

[Nicky91]

ok first of all, lovely opening dance blackpool style

now the performances

Bill & Oti: i found it kinda their weakest performance to date, it was decent but not standout for me compared what they did before, but again i must say i already knew Bill would be great technically at ballroom with his bit of ballroom dance experience/lesson, one moment with the canes he wasn't in sync with Oti

Maisie & Gorka: much much better than her cha cha for sure, however i found the lifts too predictable, but in salsa your hips are not too important, she did have one basic element throughout, loads of rhythm, energy this was fab

JJ & Amy: YASSS YASSS YASSSS this was fun, elegant, he looks soooo good in ballroom, loved Amy's choreo again, nice little homage to blackpool B&B's

Clara & Aljaz: wooden, and her weakest dance to date, i liked the quirky/cheesy theme of the chefs and combo with that song though, the execution was just bad i guess

Jamie & Karen: great performance, great choreo, luv the song, well deserving of 10's too

HRVY & Janette: i liked the usage of masks here, i never thought he would be any good at a more serious dance, so i like the efforts from him a lot

Caroline & Johannes: FAB-U-LOUS Darling, i agree with Craig, i also saw the mrs slocombe homage in this performance, her facial expressions exactly how mrs slocombe looked this was fun, flirty, i agree with the straight leg action that was fab either, i love it too how she gotten out of her comfort zone now

Ranvir & Giovanni: the whole thing lacked passion for me from Ranvir's side, my fave AT's are still Simon & Kristina (their coincidentally blackpool AT to roxanne, that was HOT, Fire) this just left me cold and again overrated with scores


my scores for this week

Bill & Oti: 7

Maisie & Gorka 9

JJ & Amy 9

Clara & Aljaz 5

Jamie & Karen 10

HRVY & Janette 8

Caroline & Johannes 9

Ranvir & Giovanni 6

[Amy Jade]

If Maisie goes this early Strictly can **** off this year I'll start rewatching housewives on hayu

[Vanessa]

I didn't like Clara routine. The staging was not good.
She's better than that.
Love Hrvy, Bill, Ranvir and Maisie.
JJ and Jamie leave me cold.

[Mystic Mock]

My rankings for week 5.

1. Jamie & Karen - Street - I personally think that the judges overscored the dance a little bit, but for pure entertainment it was fantastic imo, and Jamie has definitely upped his game from his first couple of dances.
2. HRVY & Janette - Tango - I personally thought that it was his best dance since the Jive. He was a little bit underscored imo, and he certainly shouldn't have been only a couple of points ahead of Caroline.
3. Bill & Oti - American Smooth - As far as American Smooth's go it was decent.
4. Maisie & Gorka - Salsa - It was a decent dance from Maisie as usual, but her dance suffered from being a little bit too frantic sometimes.
5. Ranvir & Giovanni - It's definitely Ranvir's best dance imo. However I do feel that it was overscored and she really is starting to remind me of Stacey Dooley a little bit with doing basic content that's being blown out of proportion by the judges.
6. JJ & Amy - Quickstep - He again does a slower version of a dance. It was definitely better than last week though.
7. Clara & Aljaz - Samba
8. Caroline & Johannes - Cha Cha Cha - Anything that was above a 3 was overscoring her dance this week imo.
