Finally, on , says: "I saw one of the lifts in this Charleston that Vito posted on his socials. I must have watched it seven times and still can't see how they did it successfully."

says: "Aren't Lacey and Vito just the loveliest coupling? They always look to be having the best time. Mind you, being flung around by a hunky Italian for a few weeks should be on the NHS. Certainly would cure my SAD."

says: "Great Charleston! Would have preferred a few less lifts as her dancing was so good. Lacey is great and I watch her instead of Vito, which is saying something!"

says: "A superb Charleston from Lacey and Vito. Her entrances and exits into the lifts were seamless. Saved the best til last."

adds: "Martin Fowler! All Hallows Eve is a good time for him to come back from the dead."

On , says: "So much to love about that Viennese. Delta was sexy and smooth, Kai never looked hotter (so much better than Curly Kai), Tommy's vocals… Gorgeous!"

says: "That was a lovely Viennese waltz from Morticia and Gomez. though our white witch/ice queen is being very picky tonight."

t adds: "Oh dear, Kai seems to have inherited Brendan Cole's habit of referring to his partner as 'This girl here...'"

On , says: "Strangely slow song for the jive. Enjoyed that, though, and thought Bettany much better."

says: "Really enjoyed that jive. I just wanted a tiny bit more pep from Bethany. I think she just needs to believe a bit more."

says: "I'm here for dancing cats but didn't like that jive at all. Felt like dance-off material to me."

says "Great synchronisation and terrific flicks and kicks from Bethany. Her partnership with Nancy brings me joy. But I wasn't keen on Shirley's 'if you're fortunate enough to stay' comment."

adds: "Bethancy – you go, girls! Super cute, a nice palate-cleanser after the sweat-fest tango!"

On , says: "A few things to improve but Tabby keeping her place as my favourite for the win, so far."

says: "Mark's too fast for her in this quickstep, but enjoyable from Tabby."

says: "Well, contrary to the judges, I thought that was pretty fab from Tabby! I wasn't paying attention when the dance was announced, looked up, didn't recognise either of them in those wigs, and couldn't work out which of them was the professional and which was the celeb!"

adds: "Slightly distracted by Mark's very well-defined arms and 80s dinnerlady hair. Did notice a fluff but Tabby is one of the most capable dancers this year and hopefully will get the votes to avoid the triple dance-off."

On , says: "Loved that from Maddie and Cach! Some amazing lifts and Cach did well to contain his exuberance and channel it into the dance."

says: "When Cach gets given the choreography, he can avoid his day job moves. Take note please, Maddie. It's down to you to make sure he dances the right way."

says: "Power and passion from Cach and Maddie. Loved it. I think it probably helped to have specialist choreographers so no going off-piste."

says: "Now that was a proper Argentine tango! Full of intensity and passion. Cach really seems to have cracked it."

adds: "Phwoar, that Argentine tango was fantastic."

On , says: "Was that supposed to be a salsa? Sorry, Jaime, way too static for me and a fair amount of messin' abaht."

says: "I really like Jaime but that didn't do her any favours. Not her best dance. Bottom two beckons again.

says: "Great song for this. Awful fog and lighting design. Love how much Carlos is just having fun camping it up and Jaime is doing rather damned well too. That was proper naff ridiculous Strictly Halloween week fodder and I liked it."

says: "I am missing the salsa steps in Jaime's salsa. Too much acting, spinning and lifting. Not enough dancing."

adds: "You go, Jaime, more welly than an episode of Countryfile. And in that wig and make-up, she's sure thing for the lead in The Shirley Ballas Story (or how I learned to stop worrying and love the little haunted shoes)."

On , says: "Couple's Choice. Boo. And a sob story from Will too. Extra boo. At least no new dad mentions yet. But they are talking family now soo...."

says: "Will's movement to me is reminiscent of Muffin the Mule, so this dance suits him. Less of the weepy VTs for next week, though please."

says: "Wow, great fun and clever choreography, especially the knee wires. Put a smile on my face."

says: "I note that Will didn't mention that in the time he 'had no work', he actually helped set up a drinks company and made a small fortune – probably more than he did in his entire TV career."

adds: "We've had Will's newborn baby, his mum and a Zoom call with family in Australia. Probably a long lost cousin in Mongolia next week. Is he going for Strictly full family bingo?"

On , says: "Oh no, Graeme! The green body paint kiss of death?"

says: "Feel like Graeme's legs were moving well but his upper body wasn't matching."

says: "I'm unsure whether Graeme technically danced a samba, but he gave it a go. Completely not helped by the music or the shoes which were very distracting."

adds: "Graeme acquitted himself, despite coping with an odd song choice, terrible costume and make-up, and opening the show with a dance which is not easy."

On , says: "Sorry, Lawrence, that tango didn't do it for me. It felt stiff and hesitant. I may be biased, though, as I prefer the more intense tangos."

says: "Lawrence and Jowita's tango seemed oddly stilted and underpowered. Given that Jowita's got enough zip to power a whole fleet of Duracell bunnies, I was very surprised."

adds: "I'm finding it hard to take a tango seriously that's danced in Ghostbuster costumes. No idea if I would have liked it in normal clothes."

On , says: "Not loving the latex but the world would be a duller place without Katya's choreography."

says: "Watching John tonight has reminded me to send my full rubber suit into the dry cleaners. The gusset has gone and a sponge clean just won't do."

says: "John is improving week-by-week and I enjoyed that tango. Katya was extraordinary as usual and she's so clever with her choreography. Brings out the best in her partners with her teaching. I adore John's gentle, cheerful sense of humour."

adds: "Latex sweat-fest for John there. Someone give the man a packet of salt and vinegar to replenish his sodium."

says: "She's back! Well done, Dani Dyer, I absolutely loved that. Fabulous costumes, dancing and storytelling."

says: "I think Nikita does romantic dances really well and Dani was much better in that. Bit clunky getting back on stage but otherwise really good."

says: "Dani had a lot of concept to deal with in a dance that's basically a lot of spinning, and she was great. Clever arrangement of a classic song, too."

says: "My favourite thing that Dani has done on the show. Really atmospheric. A true Halloween treat and no tricks!"

adds: "LOVED that VW from Dani and Nikita. Loads of content, terrific footwork and amazing characterisation. Their best dance so far."

says: "Anton and Craig are always hilarious on Halloween. That Ghost skit was up there with their Shining twins!"

Let's round up your fright night thoughts. says: "I can't help but feel that Dani Dyer turning up at Will Best's dressing room with three kids that she's actually given birth to was a massive f**k you to Will and his constant 'I've just had a baby' comments."

says: "I'm beginning to see the seeds of a Strictly hosts sitcom where comedy straight man Joshy disappoints JoJo and Emma weekly, through a series of hilarious blunders and misunderstandings."

says: "Truly terrifying, Anton dressed as David Van Day."

says: "I thought he'd come as Halloween Ken."

adds: "Anton's surely channelling 'Blades of Glory'."

TV viewers can now flip to ITV1 for The Voice UK final. At 9pm, there's a pair of new dramas: crime storyon Sky Atlantic or medical saga The F Ward on Channel 4. Both a bit middling and meh if you ask moi.

At 9.15pm, choose from on BBC One or Ghostwatch: The Night That Terrified Britain on Channel 5. Pipes, is that you?

If you're in a movie mood, tonight's picks are (9pm on Sky Arts), (9pm on Comedy Central), (9pm on Sky One), (9.20pm on BBC Four), Talk to Me (10pm on Film4) and (11pm on Sky Mix).

Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all of this to blow over.

Let's go apple-bobbing for liveblog baubles. Who's taking home the skull-shaped prizes this week?

Best dance: Lacey's show-stopping Charleston was… good.

Worst dance: Lawrence's tango for me, even though he scored a point more than Tabby and Graeme.

Best music choice: Cach's and Lacey's tunes both worked well.

Worst music choice: Not sure Ghostbusters or Slayyyter were tango music. Also that spelling is annoyyying.

Best outfit: An undead heat between Delta, Dani, Motsi and Jaime's frocks.

Worst outfit: John and Katya's pleather S&M ensembles.

Dani Dyer's kids trick-or-treating, if only for the tiny chocolate Shirley shoes of doom.

Everyone trying to make each other jump wore thin.

Best judges' comment: Craig drawling about bewigged Anton: "I can't agree with old Dusty Springfield down there."

Describing Anton and Craig's erotic Ghost pottery skit as "disturbing" or acting upset about pumpkingate.

Show-closer tops the spooky standings, with in second spot. are joint bottom, with just above.

That could all change before tomorrow's extra-dreaded three-way dance-off, of course. As Emma pointed out, there are three different ties on the scoreboard.
