Strictly Come Dancing 2010 – The Result!
I’ll have to go back to having a social life after tonight (well on my one day off anyway!). It’s been one of the best series of Strictly ever and any three of these finalists would have been deserved winners. The phone lines are closed…the hearts are beating…either way Artem’s going to cry! It’s the…

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…
Read MoreJimi Mistry & Flavia Cacace – Cha Cha Cha
One of my front runners based on the training videos, let’s see if he can live up to my expectations. Bit of a strange shirt choice, looks a little too big for Jimi and does nothing for his movement. He can certainly move but I’m not happy with his hands and I think his shoulders…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Friday 1st October Leaderboard
So the first night’s over and the leaderboard pretty much agrees with my marking (though I’d have Pamela a mark above Matt on tonight’s performance): 1. 31 points – Matt & Aliona1. 31 points – Pamela & James3. 29 points – Scott & Natalie4. 23 points – Felicity & Vincent5. 22 points – Patsy &…
