I don't like the Samba, and I generally think it is one of the worst dancers for the celebs, but I quite enjoyed that. It wasn't perfect, but she really had the right essence.
I think most of them struggled with the huge dance floor, some more than others. I was also finding it hard to see how well they were dancing because the cameras were so far away and the swooping camera work was making me feel queazy. TBH I don't think it was a success... well, certainly not for the TV audience.
Russell was particularly bad. I've enjoyed his performances until now but this week his entrance was pathetic and his dancing was terrible. It's time for him to go.
I'm trying to resist. It will be funny to see how they make tomorrows result show look like its live. Are they going to pretend that 6,000 people or whatever have turned up at Wembley again just for the result?
that was an awful show wasn't it? The venue waaaaaay too large, acoustics dodgy, etc
Robbie & Ola - wel, not too much actual 'salsa' there, but I enjoyed it, and OH rather enjoyed Ola's Catsuit
Alex & James - was good (would have like the bottom part of her frock to be all purple) but a bit overmarked , and also the frock was too long so we couldn't see her feet.
Holly and Artem - well I really enjoyed it as they were the only ones who really used the space. And what was with the frock? bl**dy awful!
Anita and Robin - bad choice of music, and erm, not that good. 10/10 for effort as usual though.
Harry and Aliona - much more like a salsa and will Len just give it a rest? I'm not keen on Alionas choreograph, but he's getting downright rude now.
Chelseeeeee and Pasha - really enjoyed this one as Samba is traditionally the worst dance. Great bounce and fab solo bit at the start.
The Grant - well, I think the joke's wearing thin now. There's only so much Flav can do to distract form his lack of dance skills.
Jason and Kristina - the much hyped 'as good as Jill Halfpenny's jive' was (ignoring the missed steps) not quite in the same league, Shame he lost it, but hey, that's showbiz.......
i have seen the spoiler and it was not the bottom two that I'd predicted, so shows I haven't got a clue about the way the great british public votes

Thought Chelsea was great. Best dance of the night so far.
When Aleesha said "That was the best entrance I've seen on Strictly", I thought some of the crowd started sniggering!
Chelsee - now that's more like it! Still way too many props for my liking though.
I thought she was really good ...
And now the singer is murdering a classic Wham! song
I wish he'd have taken that jacket off - it looked a bit cumbersome and he lost his timing towards the end which is a shame cos it was good otherwise.

I haven't, honestly .......I really & truly haven't

You lot don't half tease.

It seems that only those who frequent the mundane thread have been unable to resist ...
Well didn't enjoy that show at all. Far too big and echoey for me.
Enjoyed Holly's, Alex's, Chelsee's and Jason's.
Agreed with Craig re Harry, he just doesn't do it for me.
Anita and Robbie just average (bottom two?)
Russell, it's been good but as others say; time to go.

I wasn't particulalry wowed by any of the dances last night. Harry and Alex were probably my faves.
And how far has the BBC come, from banning Relax to using it on prime time Saturday night telly!
Don't think the venue worked at all. Way too big and impersonal and as Mr W says, that camera work was making me feel sick.
Way past Russell's time to go but I suspect he'll be around for a while yet.
