Strictly Come Dancing
Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Paso Doble
Never really thought you’d be able to do a Paso to Lady Gaga but James & Pamela are certainly pulling it off, there’s some great intensity and passion, really expressing the music well. Pamela looks slightly unsteady at times but this is another great performance. This could get more tens but I think just a…

I especially like Craig’s X-Factor audition!
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Sunday 5th December Results
Yesterday I predicted Gavin Henson and Ann Widdecombe to be in the bottom two, with Gavin just losing out in the audience vote. Though I have the feeling we might see a shock in the bottom two tonight (I’m worried Matt might be in trouble). So first through this week: Gavin & Katya & Kata…

Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Tango
So they have confirmed Artem will ask Kara out after the series has finished, not that I personally actually care, though it could make for a good Tango. I’m not so sure about the massive stamp action they’re both using, but it’s obviously a style thing. It’s passionate and intense and I think we’ll see…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Foxtrot
I’m not expecting a great dance here, I’ll be honest. Gavin needs to be softer in his rise and fall, it looks clunky rather than gliding across the floor. Also the personality we saw last week has completely disappeared, aside from the odd rye smile. Nowhere near as bad as the Jive last week but…
Read MorePamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Viennese Waltz
A wonderfully elegant start and looking great in hold, though I still feel her shoulders could be lower in hold. A great dramatisation and excellent retelling of the ‘Ghost’ storyline. Aside from her shoulder line there’s not really anything I can criticise so I’m actually going to give it a 10. Craig: 10 “Elegant…stylish…tasteful…full of…
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Jive
Matt is doing a rather good impression of Austin Powers, though I think they do need to get Jiving at some point soon. There’s some quite complicated kick choreography but it does feel a bit too Austin Powers and not enough Jive. A real let down if you ask me and I think they could…
Read MoreAnn Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – American Smooth
So Anton has to complete 3 lifts in the American Smooth, I’m hoping we see a few new ones and not the same ones they keep throwing in each week. Good start with the lift…and then they land. Actually the start isn’t that bad, though Ann does end up out of time. There’s even a…
