It Takes Two – Friday 29th October

On tonight’s episode: Tina & Jared; Scott & Natalie; Halloween Special.

Tina & Jared,

Tina thinks Jared might have put her back out in the double cartwheel.  Also it seems she’s quite partial to a bit of banana according to the VT.  Not really sure what the big deal with one banana a day is, I have 3 or 4 when I’m working on a Sunday!

They’ve relaxed into the intensity of the Argentine Tango, which took a bit of getting used to, though I still think they’ll be too ‘nice’.

Scott & Natalie,

Top of the leader board last Saturday can they continue to improve?  Scott continues to introduce characters to act out the dances that they have.  This week is Farquhar, an aloof character who should be well suited to the Viennese Waltz.

Craig Revel-Horwood, Lemar and Jenny Bond, talk costumes, choreography and music.

Kara & Artem Paso: [Craig] Very clean of line, bothers me, she needs to throw more passion into it…too precise and not enough passion. (Music – Phantom of the Opera)

Matt & Aliona Argentine Tango: [Craig] She’s doing all the work but when he does get into hold it looks good. [Jenny] I think he’s fantastic…I don’t know if he’s improved. (Music – Bat Out Of Hell).

Felicity & Vincent Viennese Waltz. [Craig] Very difficult to unwind (if you get dizzy)…bit too much rise and fall. (Music – Vito’s Waltz)

Patsy & Robin Jive: [Craig] Bouncy, my eyes are slightly diverted towards that T-Shirt…of Robins! She looks confident. [Jenny] Seemed fairly slow [Craig] I think she was marking it. (Music – Monster Mash [Craig] First single I ever bought!).

Ann & Anton Paso: [Craig] Born to Paso…you can tell the way she’s stomping around the room. (Music – Wild Thing).

Pamela & James Jive: [Craig] Fast and furious, that speed is going to be very tiring.

Michelle & Brendan Jive: [Craig] It’s looking good, I think it’s going to be her dance.  She’s a spiky dancer and it’s a spiky dance – at least the way he’s choreographed it! (Music – Time Warp)

Halloween Special

Scary video effects – spider webs, skulls, Frankenstein, ultra-violet lighting.

Gavin shows us his ‘Devils face’ but he can’t keep his embarrassment from showing.

Gavin & Katya then treat us to a bit of their Tango, which is a little too stompy and awkward but I’m liking their choice of music, Muse are my favourite band!

In just over an hour’s time we can see whether the acting lessons were worth it Gavin!
