After Andrew Castle's elimination last week, the remaining pairs took to the Strictly Come Dancing floor to perform a different routine and hopefully escape a similar fate.

Here's what the judges had to say:


Tom and Camilla - Quickstep

Len: "I'm not a real big punter for messing about but I must say this was right in character, it had a charm about it and there were no props involved. I thought you got down into that dance. You danced beautifully. Light and fluffy, finished off with that little flourish up on the stage. I thought you did a great job." [9]

Bruno: "Tom, it was like watching Jumping Jack Flash doing the Quickstep. You were charged and electric, like a lightning bolt. You were so on the timing, it was unbelievable. Excellent." [9]

Craig: "Camilla, I think you've done extremely well to showcase all of Tom's strengths like the beginning piece. There are three small things I have issue with which make it not perfect, but only small. But apart from them I thought it was fabulous." [9]

Arlene: "Fast, fleet-footed, you weren't just jumping over hot coals you were jumping over giant stones and, if you ask me, all the way to the final." [9]

Total - 36


Jodie and Ian - Samba

Bruno: "Jodie, you are like the stock market: ups and downs, ups and downs. Here you crash again. You tried your best [but] it was too loose and too thin. You were always slightly behind it. You really have to focus on the Latin dances." [7]

Craig: "You absolutely crucified that Samba. It was completely forced. It was very limp, it lacked any sort of vivacity and had very sticky rolls." [3]

Arlene: "Jodie, it wasn't good but it wasn't that bad. You actually have an easy bounce, but you just lost it. It wasn't like a carnival in Rio but a birthday party in Bournemouth. It's a shame." [6]

Len: "Craig is totally, totally wrong. You moved nicely. The Samba doesn't suit you, but that doesn't mean that you're not a good dancer. It doesn't matter." [7]

Total - 23


Heather and Brian - Tango

Craig: "I thought it was a marked improvement on last night. I think this dance does suit you a little more." [6]

Arlene: "You do get stronger and stronger week by week, yes you were better. But it still didn't have that passion, drama and drive that it needs." [7]

Len: "It's an actor's dance, you've got to really act it out. I thought, by and large, you did do that. I saw drama and passion in it. I thought it was a very good dance, well done." [7]

Bruno: "Great improvement on last week. You have to be careful though, now, because when you focus and you try hard sometimes your shoulders raise up and you stop performing. Combine everything and you'll get high scores." [7]

Total - 27


Austin and Erin - Rumba

Arlene: "This was brave. This dance is the language of love and you have to portray that, and your feet caressed the floor beautifully, your arms caressed Erin beautifully, but all of these muscles that everyone is so crazy about are preventing you from opening your spine, using the upper body and really getting the flow through." [8]

Len: "I thought we were in for something tonight and this was gonna be hot stuff. But unfortunately, my feeling is that you weren't comfortable doing this dance. And it was uncomfortable to watch. It just lacked romance and warmth." [8]

Bruno: "You went for soft and gentle, you should have gone for throbbing hunk and given her a good go. You were hesitant with it. If you don't go for her, you have to entice her to you. It was well done, but you lacked that spark." [8]

Craig: "It wasn't for me, I'm afraid. I think it's a case of clever choreography disguises Austin's limitations. I found it very stiff of hip." [5]

Total - 29


Cherie and James - Waltz

Len: "Every element of that dance was fantastic except for your footwork. You kept going forward on your toe. If you hadn't done that, heaven knows what you'd have got." [9]

Bruno: "The English Rose is back in full bloom. You have poise, natural grace and elegance. Get all of that in the Latin dances, not just ballroom." [9]

Craig: "Clean, confident and hugely enchanting. I loved it." [9]

Arlene: "The charisma and the chemistry is back. Everything I expect from you and more. That's the standard I want, no matter what dance, and you need to deliver it." [9]

Total - 36


Christine and Matthew - Jive

Bruno: "Christine - you're back! You got these legs going tonight. They were sharp, they were tight, kicks and flips were excellent. Watch your arms now. Sometimes throw your arms a little bit." [8]

Craig: "I think you did a very good job. Every time you were punctuating, [your arms] were very, very clear." [7]

Arlene: "I'm thrilled you went to a ballet class, and it did make a difference. You're like an episode of Upstairs, Downstairs. Feet down, really working this week, but you don't get your arms right. A phenomenal improvement." [8]

Len: "I think you came out and did a bright and lovely Jive. Your feet were great. So good, really nice, well done." [8]

Total - 31


Rachel and Vincent - American Smooth

Craig: "Normally we see the American Smooth as a Foxtrot-based dance. I love the fact that you've used the Quickstep and it's great because then we get to see Rachel completely animated and full of verve and character and exactly what I wanted to see from you tonight. Wonderful" [8]

Arlene: "It was bright, it was lively, lots of tricky footwork. So I ask myself: 'What wasn't it perfect?' You don't use your eyes. You need to find a story in your eyes." [9]

Len: "They say diamonds come in small packages and that was a gem of a performance." [9]

Bruno: "Rachel and Vincent are Fred and Ginger for me tonight. You did that effortlessly. Very good." [9]

Total - 35


John and Kristina - Cha Cha Cha

Arlene: "John you are outstanding at dancing really badly. That dance had nothing to say and neither have I." [3]

Len: "That was more Ha Ha Ha than Cha Cha Cha. If somebody deserving gets knocked out because [the public] likes you, it makes a nonsense of the show." [4]

Bruno: "John, your charming personality is undeniable, but even you have to admit that your dancing stinks." [4]

Craig: "Disaster." [1]

Total - 12


Lisa and Brendan - Viennese Waltz

Len: "You are without doubt the most improved dancer of this series." [9]

Bruno: "You take the simplicity of the Viennese Waltz and transformed it into ballroom magic." [9]

Craig: "Brendan, I could kiss you. I think you've done a fantastic job with this lady. You have brought her all the way up to the upper echelons. That was wonderful." [9]

Arlene: "Those endless rotations were like an endless love story and I love you both for doing that." [9]
