The result

Based on the dance-off I’d put Lynda through.Rav really let himself down in that dance-off, with a worse performance than actually during the competition. Hat off to Lynda though, i’d written you off but you upped your game in the dance-off and definitely deserve to come back next week. So, another week, another celebrity going…

Moment of truth and dance-off

As predicted the audience have saved Joe Calzaghe.Will Jo Wood also be saved? Phil Tufnell will have a hard job next week as I imagine he can’t train until he recovers from his knee surgery. Whether she’s through or not I think they’ll leave Jo until the final three anyway, just to up the suspense.…

Salsa showdance & Andy Williams

Will have to look closely and decipher a few new moves to add to the repertoire.Although I wasn’t actually that impressed with the performance, I don’t tend to criticise professionals but that did look a little amateur at times and I think slower music would’ve allowed for a better performance all round. Andy Williams A…

Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Quickstep

So Phil has a knee problem and is going in for surgery tomorrow, let’s see how it affects this quick and high-impact dance.I wonder if Katya had to adjust the routine after Phil’s knee diagnosis? Nice start though needs to relax the shoulders and they lose connection just as they’re starting the scatter chasses. A…

Jo Wood & Brendan Cole – Paso

I had Jo down as the one to exit last week, let’s see if she can repay all those people who voted for her.Well definitely a better performance than last week, though needs to keep her head up, and her shoulders are a little off line at times. Shame about the end being mucked up.…

Laila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Quickstep

Anton is the only actual Ballroom professional in the males so this should be good.With Anton’s charm, and Laila’s looks this could be the first time he makes it to the final, but let’s get through the first couple of months eh Anton! A couple of mistakes there, and for me the dance is lacking…

Joe Calzaghe & Kristina Rihanoff – Paso Doble

The pre-series favourite sent the bookies laughing all the way to the bank in the first week. Paso however could be more his dance.Interesting belt there Joe! In Paso the man stands up straight with a slight curve outwards in the spine, Joe appears to be a little hunched over throughout. Will definitely lose marks…
