Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
Chris really stepped it up in the final last week and delivered an almost perfect Foxtrot, can he improve on that tonight? Looks to me like there has been some work on the hands, but really should be smiling throughout. Shame about the mistake in the middle. Ola knows how much the audience like the…
Read MoreGethin Jones & Flavia Cacahe – American Smooth
So a new partnership for the Christmas Special, how will they perform together? Doesn’t really seem to be much chemistry between them, and I’m finding the performance a little stale, however the final lift drew some excited gasps from Emma’s mother and sister. Not a bad performance, but not as good as the others so…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Viennese Waltz
A perfect 40 in Blackpool, let’s see if they can recreate that magical dance tonight. Ali’s elegance always suits the mainly slow Ballroom dances. A little shaky at times but otherwise faultless and I think this could be the first perfect score of the night.
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Quickstep
Perfect marks in the final for their Quickstep makes this a strong contender, though hopefully there’ll be some new choreography. Thought there was a slight slip up in the middle, but otherwise a very good performance, will the judges overlook the lift at the end though? Technically it seemed perfect but have to knock off…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Charlston
Return of the crazy face of Chris Hollins. This is looking improved over their original Charlston, which definitely bodes well. A very good performance, a little untidy in places (though I suspect that’s the essence of the dance) and I’m going to give it a 9.
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite Tango
After seeing that there’s no doubt that Jade was an incredibly strong contender for this title. My old teacher Mary (Ian’s step-mum) choreographed this dance and was gutted when they couldn’t perform it on the night. I feel so sorry for Ian as this was probably his best chance for making it to the final,…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
So, Chris has never been in the dance-off but has also never received a 10 so far in the competition. How is he going to respond to the perfect 50 that Ricky just achieved? Good to see Chris has decided not to work on his hands and face for the final 😉 Wait, was that…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Quickstep
Up first then is Ricky to bring in the Grand Final. Looking very good so far. Ricky’s head is very much improved over what i’ve seen in recent weeks, needs to make sure he keeps looking up and doesn’t look at the floor when they’re apart though. I would say a faultless performance and I’m…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Argentine Tango
Seconds in and I already feel this could be the best Arentine Tango of the night. Looks a little unsteady at times though. However a very good performance and easily worth 9’s.
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – American Smooth
A dance that should suit Ali better, although they have chosen quite a fast number. Not sure about Ali having both hands above her head during her spins, looks a little untidy. It looks like they’ve decided to quash any ‘are they or aren’t they’ rumours with those kisses at the end. A very good…
