Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Argentine Tango
Can they come back from their bottom two position last week? Scott definitely has the right look for Argentine Tango, I still wish he’d keep his shoulders down. Started with promise but seemed to lose a little momentum by the end. Scott isn’t always looking at Natalie, and that loses a bit of the intensity…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Samba
The weakest of the contenders still left in the competition Gavin is most likely going home this weekend, especially if he has Samba…but we’ll see. Gavin certainly trying with his hips but the whole routine looks a little manic, and if Craig penalised Kara & Artem for their slight over-extension to lift status Gavin is…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Viennese Waltz
A lot to follow this week after Pamela’s 40 last week. Needs to watch looking down during the spins at the start as she just looked slightly off balance. Some of the transitions from in and out of hold look a little messy. They obviously tried to put more in than Pamela and James last…
Read MorePamela 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…
