Strictly Come Dancing - Week Five

What a game changer this show was. Some of the people constantly in the middle of the leader-board stepped up and one front runner took a stumble.

Let's take a look at this week's leader-board.

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – 39
Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – 37
Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani – 34
Patsy Kensit & Robin Windsor – 31
Jimi Mistry & Flavia Cacace – 30
Michelle Williams & Brendan Cole - 29
Tina O'Brien & Jared Murillo – 28
Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan - 27
Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone - 26
Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas 26
Ann Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke - 16

So Ssssssssscott has gone and got himself 3 10's and well deserved they were!   Poor Pamela however. That's a hefty stumble she took there. I guess I was wrong last week about this being the beginning of her end maybe? Either way she's not in a good place. Meanwhile, Kara Tointon was on fire! And look at Patsy Kensit 4th from the top! Who knew! A lot of great dances tonight. it appears everyone, well almost everyone has stepped up their game. Also did anyone catch that bust up between Brendan Cole and judge Len Goodman? Draaamaaa!

So let's look at the best and worst dances of the night.


Best:

Scott Malsen is the breakout star of this competition. Three 10's in week five? That's impressive. It must be Natalie Lowe. Remember her last year with Ricky Whittle? Yeah. Amazing stuff from Scott!
 

Finally! She's here. I thought Kara would do well but her recent dances weren't up to much but this is fantastic. Well done you. 

Worst:

It's time to go Ann. I think after this week people who can dance are going to start leaving instead of you and that's when it gets complicated and controversial. You are fun but at the end of the day this is a dance competition. 

Did you enjoy the show? Did anyone surprise you? Who was your favourite?
