I may be wrong but, I thought Katie was better than Judi.

I like the fact that Judi looked like Mama Morton, but there wasnt enough dancing for me. Poor Katie looked disappointed, but she is a trouper.

I missed the singer, I went out to get myself something to eat.

I wonder why they are not introducing the singers with Dave Arch this year, they do a blooming good job and deserve recognition.

Was it me or did they change the routine of announcing the first couple in the dance off. I do think it is very nerve wracking for these celebrities and waiting them wait longer is, to me, a bit cruel and not necessary.

I am not sure that I agree with the dance off outcome, there was not much to choose between them But, although I am not keen on her, I did feel that Katie improved a lot and i just didn't like Judi's dance. Of course I am not an expert but I think Anton's vote was more honest than the others and Shirley was always not going to vote for Katie as, with so many of the more attractive girls, she didn't seem to like her. Just my opinion of course and technically they may have been right. time will tell.

Am I right that so far both Judi's dances have gone for the comedy aspect?

I had trouble hearing the singer, whoever he was, I had the sound and my hearing aids turned right up and, if it had not been for sub titles I would not have had a clue. :-S

Yes, I agree, although close, Katie was the right person to go :-(

People have been complaining that Judi did make a mistake, which Anton picked up on and why he voted for Katie, as she didn't manage to get her partner's braces back in the right place :-0

Dan looked mightily relieved and so did Adam although the Rumba is a hard dance to master.

That singer was awful :-0

Oh yes. forgot to say, I didn't like the way they announced the final couple in the dance off this week:-0

So onto week 4 :-D

Jeepers, I wished I'd taped it as well so I could fast forward on that dreadful man "singing" in the middle of the programme. I've not got a clue who he was but I just thought he was making a terrible noise.

I thought the right person left the show tonight. I managed to watch all of Roses dance without the tears. I think she's incredible. Such a fantastic ability when she's totally deaf. The others have to learn a dance in a week also but they all have the rhythm of the music to help whereas Rose only has her counting to help her or the movements of her partners body in "close" dances.

I thought Amy looked really well tonight, bless her.

Also have to say I think John is totally gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

I'm always a step behind, Ann, as I watch it the next day usually so I can cut out all the razzamatazz and just watch the dancing and comments. No chance of ever catching up! :-D

I like Anton as a judge because he always find something nice to say even while he criticises.

Good to see you have caught up with the rest of us Joy. :-D

And a stunning foxtrot by Rose and Giovanni … with some lovely comments from both of them for the other.

A great, lively performance from Tom and Amy too.

I must look up the celebrity dancers as I have only heard of four of them, I think.

:-D :-D :-D

It looks like we are all watching the same programme now, Maddie ;-) :-D :-D

What a lovely waltz by AJ and Kai. <3

Deep breathe Joy, and push the button. ;-) ;-)

Lost me marbles :-D :-D :-D

Off to catch up with last night’s dances.

:-D :-D :-D....what are you like, Joy :-D

I thought I was Belle :-S

I may have clicked on the wrong week on Catch-up

Just watched Tilly Ramsey doing the Charleston which I thought into which she put in a lot of energy which was great - now I’ll check ….. cos I am bamboozled. :-S

ANton’s just said Week 2 - ought I to be watching week 3? :-D

Joy, are you watching yesterday's show :-S

Sara did the foxtrot in the previous week's show (2.10) :-D :-D

I am just watching the individual dances and judges’ comments. Sarah (no idea who she is) performed a cracking foxtrot and she pretty much pirouetted on the spot which was great to see.

I like Anton as a judge, Belle, for the way he manages to comment and criticise constructively, as you wrote.

I noticed Motsi was still wiping tears in the background after Rose's dance when Tess was introducing the next couple :-0

Anton has grown on me as a Judge. I thought last year when he was a temporary judge he would say nice things and give good marks even when the dancers were rubbish but this year his comments are constructive and his marking balanced :-D

It looks like we are all watching the same programme! :-D :-D ;-)

Rose, Rhys, Tom, John and AJ all brilliant. I loved Rose, her dance could have been in a film sequence from the 50's, so beautiful and graceful.

Dan didnt do well at all, he could be in the dance off with maybe Katie or Tilly.

The standard is really high this year, so there is no room for mistakes.

Anton always measured in his comments, but Motsi does get excited.

Ah yes Belle thanks, I forgot Tom, yes his jive was definitely better than Tilly's. I think I liked hers because of her enjoyment at doing it with having to act. It does make a difference on movie week, with most of them you can tell the actors.

Well, how enjoyable was that :-0:-D

I absolutely loved Rose's dance <3 I know she explained how she follows the movement of Giovanni's body when dancing ballroom which I suppose is how ballroom should be danced.....even so such an inspiration <3

Those that you expected to do well ie John, AJ & Rhys didn't disappoint although I have to say Rhys' dance really didn't do much for me :-0

I did like Sara's Salsa which must have been made more difficult in those costumes :-0

Out of the two jives ie Tom & Tilly, I much preferred Tom's :-D

I didn't think Dan did very well and he really didn't look like he was enjoying himself :-(

There were a lot near the bottom this week with not much to choose between them.....it will be sad for anyone to go as they have all shown some improvement but that's Strictly :-(
