Helen, as ever, left me cold. Didn't see much Paso shaping of arms and hands. Jay did deserve 4 10s for a lovely, fluid, romantic rumba with good hips and legs and feet. Loved Georgia's dance and performance. Anita's performance was outstanding and her technique pretty damn good for such a complicated routine. Gleb really does push her and Craig was miserable with his comments and points.
Not keen on Kellie's waltz - good performance but didn't like the routine. Prefer less oomp and more ah in a Viennese. Nice to see her with an attractive hair style and a half decent frock for once. Katie was good but not brilliant. Either of these two can go.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I liked Georgia best, as usual. Still like Helen, but people here don't seem to, not sure why. I'll admit Jay is a good dancer, but he leaves me cold.
I was quite surprised that Len liked Kellie's Viennese Waltz. Not enough classic waltz in it for me, great for a stage show though. I think Katie has improved the most, early on I was expecting her to be knocked out but I think people like Anton so she stayed in. Now I think she is a lovely elegant dancer.
I think Craig was a bit unfair to Anita, he gave such a low mark for this stage that she was sure to be at the bottom of the leader board.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I loved Kelly's Waltz reminded me of many Saturday nights on leave in the East end, the pubs seemed to all have a back room with music and dancing a right old knees up and very jolly waltz's. The original waltz was a peasant dance taken over by the Viennese and it was only as it spread that it slowed down to the 1-2-3 and a fleckle, it should be joyful. Katie did an almost perfect dance and deserves to be there, Georgia I loved and Jay was in there too. Methinks Anita and Helen are trying too hard if they relaxed a bit it would be more natural, Craig was right. I still would not stick my neck out as to the winner, it will come down to the final and the GBP, we all know how they vote?
Runny beak if I was Aliona's OH I too would be in the Ballroom the training room and anywhere else they lingered. The body language speaks volumes. You not have to like Katie her dancing says it all. Ballroom is low key to the show off dances, that girl loves that but will fail at the Latin. This week Anita and Helen would be in the dance off for me though I never bank on the GBP seeing anything but the showiness.
I think Anita was great don't know what is wrong with Craig
Can't start to guess who is leaving tonight.
Like Lizzie I can see how well Jay dances but he doesn't thrill me. Might be me as I can't dance but he seems to have turned into a ballet dancer..I'll get my coat

Come back Ramps 
Not just me wot's got the hots for Aliona by the sound of it, Frank!
I would't mind showing her my Black Bottom . 
You been sitting on the mucky patio furniture again David
Perhaps he got over excited thinking of her and slipped in the mud.
Told you before David, eating pasta laced with squid ink reaches the parts that Heinz Ketchup will never reach. Stick to the pie pea and mash.
