I love how Pasha (sp?) worked losing his fezz into the routine and kicked it away on the beat too. What a pro.
That impressed me far more than it should have.

I was waiting for someone to boot it out of the way but they way he did it was brilliant.

Also, why was Caroline picking at her belly when she was talking to Winkle after the dance?

Aye. It was pretty sublime. Major kudos to him for it.

Craig was right. Dance disaaaaassssster!
Suddenly Jake is looking vulnerable.

I think Sunetra has to go out this week.
He seemed to get on the wrong foot which put him out and made it look messy. I think it's the first dance he's messed up isn't it? I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just didn't look right, right from the start. Shame as it was the dance he was looking forward to the most.

I didn't like Sunetras or Marks dances either, left me a bit meh tbh

I thought Sunetra did OK actually. Rather like Len says, a lot of it is simply about whether it's good to watch or not, and hers was. Two from three for the dance off this week, and it could very well be Jake and Mark with Sunetra surviving another week. Either way, if she's in it I think the judges will vote her off (despite saying, like they always do, 'based on tonight's performance) as they'll be looking towards next week.

Caroline's looking stronger as the weeks go on, and Simon's got to be a serious contender now. A couple of weeks back I was sure the top three would be Pixie, Frankie and Jake but now I'm not so sure as both Caroline and/or Simon could crash that party.

...the silly mishmash of country themes and dances.
I was just confused. Did the professionals get told what country they had to represent with their dance? If not then why didn't Jake simply do Argentina instead of Greece? All very odd.. wobble

After Jake's tango-esque American Smooth I was really surprised that he was so bad this week. Dance off should be Jake and Mark IMO, although it's pretty clear that Sunetra won't win so if she goes this week I won't be bothered.

Simon's won a watch for next week. American Smooth which should suit him, and the waltz which was his dance this week.

it clealry wasn't jakes' fault when the pro dancer bumped into him but jeanette did tread on his foot too so I think he did well despite that, but not his best.

The rumba is so difficult - sunetra was doing heel leads which is a massive no-no.

I thought Simons' waltz was good although i'm not sure what the double speed elements were about....?

caroline is probably a finalist along with Pixie and I'd like to see a bloke get through so probably Jake on balance if his public profile via eastenders is anything to go by....But Simon is probably margianlly the better dancer but there is nothing in it...

Couldn't understand Craigs comment regarding Jake bumping in to the woman dancer when Claudia pointed out that it wasn't him that bumped in to her, but her in to him.

Craig didn't agree and said the dancers should be aware of where they are at all times (or something along those lines), so how does that make it Jakes fault then? Surely the same applies to the woman who clearly wasn't looking where she was and ploughed straight in to him?

I thought Sunetras dance was better than Mark, but guess they are looking for the contestant to go forward to the next round

Craig was quite wrong there - expecting Jake to have eyes in the back of his head. He then rambled on with a lame excuse as to why he thought he was right, but you could tell from Len's face that he thought Craig was talking absolute bollyocks.

Indeed - if that's the case then surely the pros should be more aware than the celebs.

Quite. Craig just didn't want to admit that he was wrong.

I did wonder if Craig might have awarded a 10. But 39 is none too shabby.

Carolines dress had the wobble factor as she ran up the stairs....

Judges should have started a bit lower with Simon, not going to be space for everyone.

By contrast, Pixie's dance didn't do a lot for me. The judges seemed to like it though so what do I know.

A comment on ITT in the week said Pixie needed to straighten her legs but went OTT.
