Strictly Come Dancing
It Takes Two – Tuesday 5th October-Friday 8th October
Due to an unfortunate virus attack on my computer I’ve been unable to upload my analysis all week so I’ve decided to collate all 4 episodes into one post. Tuesday 5th October First up Goldie & Kristina Rihanoff to talk about their Cha-Disco-Cha. Personally I think it was an awful choice for a first dance,…

If you missed my comments on the show you can catch up below! Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha Felicity was struggling in training with wearing high heels, and they did appear to be particularly high in the vids, but I’m hoping she’s got past that. Felicity is definitely more flexible than…
Read MoreIt Takes Two – Monday 4th October
So the new series of Strictly Come Dancing is in full swing and we have our first episode of It Takes Two with Claudia Winkleman. A funny video clip of Kara before the show saying “I just don’t want to fall over” and then Erin Boag trying to sabotage Gavin Henson. Finishing with Kara…

Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Cha Cha Cha
The tipped ‘hot couple’ there should be lots of chemistry there, and Artem impressed me in the training videos so I’m expecting great things, even if there is a dominatrix theme apparently going on there. A fall there from Kara, I hope she hasn’t injured herself, she does look in a lot of pain. Good…
Read MoreAnn Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – Waltz
Most people have put Ann & Anton in the comedy act pile and I think the height difference is definitely going to be an issue. Interesting to see Ann wearing what appear to be practice shoes with laces, should give her a bit more stability. Ann needs to keep her head up, and her feet…
Read MoreTina O'Brien & Jared Murillo – Cha Cha Cha
I’m hoping Jared has settled in now as he looked completely out of place in the launch show. A very strange start and I’m not a big fan of all the props in week one. Some quite nice leg action but the routine isn’t really doing it for me and Tina needs to use the…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Waltz
Gavin should perform better at Ballroom than Latin and the beginning (albeit looking like he’s trying to break Katya’s neck) looks calm and controlled. However Katya is right, there isn’t much emotion showing, though it’s good to see him smiling throughout. A sweet performance that I’m struggling to mark, not quite a 7 but a…
Read MoreMichelle Williams & Brendan Cole – Cha Cha Cha
We didn’t really see much of Michelle’s dancing during the training videos so will be interesting to see what Brendan has come up with. Interesting to see them starting on the new bridge…though I have no idea what Michelle is wearing! I feel Michelle looks a little brittle and could do with straightening the knees…
Read MorePeter Shilton & Erin Boag – Waltz
Peter needed to work more on his shoulder line in training so I’m hoping Erin has drilled it into him. Peter needs to keep his bum in, and try to keep his feet in contact with the floor when he opens to promenade – seems to have a tendency to life his foot quite high…
