Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Rumba
Kara struggles to get through her opening VT discussing Artem, so it’s fitting that they have the Rumba to perform tonight, a beautiful dance we got to watch first hand last week. Kara’s looking a bit emotional at the start, most likely as she’s just had to watch that whole first VT on a massive…
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 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 MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Salsa
Salsa starts as a basic and quite easy dance but can soon progress into very complex and intricate moves…and I’m guessing these guys won’t have shied away from that. They start with a cartwheel over Artem’s shoulder…yet another example of how the Strictly rulebook has gone out of the window! I feel Kara looks a…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Paso Doble
Kara needs to stand up a little straighter but she has good Spanish arms. Looking a little unstable at times though, especially with the lean away in front of the judges. Definitely playing the part well. Technically a lift at the end so should be docked points so I’m going to give them an 8.…
Read MoreIt Takes Two – Wednesday 27th October
Coming up on tonight’s show: Kara & Artem; Len Goodman’s Dance Clinic; Ian Waite with the midweek report; Matt & Aliona Kara & Artem, They loved the dance, though Kara felt at the start of the week that the music was slow and boring. She’s scared by the fact that even with letting go it…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Charleston
Another of the front-runners, I felt some of the others haven’t performed quite as well this week so a chance for Kara to jump up the table. Kara really isn’t wearing a lot is she?! Needs just a little more swivel at times but a good performance, not sure whether the lifting of Artem from…
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 MoreStrictly Come Dancing Training Clips – Wk 3
So Strictly Come Dancing is less than a week away from starting, the spray-tanners are spraying, the dress makers are sewing and the celebrities are shaving; and we’re being treated to our last few training videos. Up first is boyhood favourite Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone. I read a great blog post about calculating your…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing launch show
Strictly’s back, we’re back, everyone’s back…well except for a few of our favourite professionals. What do I think of this year’s lineup? Quite a good lineup even if the average age is apparently now 45. There’s a few people (as usual) that I have no idea who they are but there does appear to be…
