Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Viennese Waltz
For me Ricky’s ballroom frame has not yet been good enough to warrant the marks he’s received, let’s see if it’s any better tonight.Looking much, much better Ricky, just please hold that frame!!! Well this could definitely give Jade a run for her money, though does appear to lost balance during the reverse fleckles. An…
Read MoreZoe Lucker & James Jordan – Jive
Another celeb that I’ve been waiting to see perform a fast Latin dance. I thought training looked good, let’s hope the nerves don’t get the better of her.I think she needs to take slightly smaller back steps, and another celeb who doesn’t keep the toes down when flicking. It’s a little lacklustre for my liking,…
Read MoreJo Wood & Brendan Cole – Viennese Waltz
I’m afraid Jo that i’ve put you at the bottom of the table before tonight’s show, please prove me wrong…First few spins it actually looked smooth and I thought “wow, what an improvement”, then unfortunately it continued and it almost looks at times like Jo is running round Brendan rather than dancing. Nowhere near as…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Viennese Waltz
My predicted leaderboard leaders are up next. Saw a preview from them on Thursday night at the International Ballroom Dancing Championships and it looked pretty good then.Very nice fluid beginning, just needs to watch her left arm as it looks to be dropping a little. Sometimes I really wish the cameras would allow us to…
Read MoreThe dance off!
Lynda up first:Does seem a bit livelier, why does Lynda save the better performances for the dance-off?! I still don’t think it has enough drive however, and just as I was about to say how good it was to see her not make the same mistake again, she mucks up the ending. Shame. Now for…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Foxtrot
Can the Strictly comedian pull off a serious Foxtrot, well if he can sort out that frame he might have a chance.The high shoulders do ruin the look, and contribute to the unplanned tilt in the spins. Shoulders are getting higher as the dance progresses, and that’s such a shame. A nice Foxtrot, ignoring the…
Read MoreCraig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Foxtrot
Craig had a really tough time last week so let’s hope he remembers the whole routine this week, and keep that frame strong!Frame is definitely improved, though the left arm is moving around far too much, it should stay in position throughout the dance. Would help with balance in the spins and turns if he…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Foxtrot
I’ve predicted this to get the top marks of the night, don’t let me down Laila!Will be interesting to see if the midweek publicity affects how the public vote, but let’s hope the performance is what people focus on. I want to see a 9’s performance here guys! Foxtrot is definitely my favourite dance and…
Read MoreJoe Calzaghe & Kristina Rihanoff – Foxtrot
Joe has been consistently stuck to the bottom of the leaderboard, and I don’t expect things to change tonight I’m afraid and I still think he’ll struggle to achieve 5’s. Looks good in a tux though, and this is one of my favourite songs (albeit the Muse version!) Wooden start with the clicking, and needs…
Read MoreJo Wood & Brendan Cole – Foxtrot
So Jo is trying the most technical ballroom dance and I’m not expecting much (predicted 5’s earlier), let’s hope she proves me wrong.Mistakes evident right from the start and she needs to keep the head up and lift from her chest. She seems to save the really obvious mistakes for right in front of the…
