Swing-a-thon
All the competitors, on the floor, at the same time. Competing against each other and getting eliminated one at a time. It’s going to be brutal!
Len’s advice is to come out full bore and high energy.
Let’s be honest, Gavin is going to be the first out, though Pamela could soon be following him as she’s looking a little laboured. But no, it’s Scott & Natalie!
Pamela & James are then asked to leave and it’s between Matt & Kara…I’m afraid Kara is winning this battle for me, Matt looks completely puffed out (not surprised after their Salsa).
Scores therefore are:
Kara & Artem – 5
Matt & Aliona – 4
Pamela & James – 3
Scott & Natalie – 2
Gavin & Katya – 1
Comments from the judges:
Craig (on Kara & Artem): “Stamina!”
Alisa (on Gavin): “He did lose timing…other couples had more content”
For me this swing-a-thon should be the first dance they do, or at least after a suitable rest break, as it’s really harsh on Matt to go straight from the Salsa to this…will be interesting to see if it reappears in next year’s competition.
