Michelle Williams & Brendan Cole – Waltz

Michelle is starting to develop into a more natural looking dancer.  Maybe needs to loosen up her back slightly, and needs to ensure she keeps her feet in contact with the floor during those pivots.  However I’m please to say that she is showing definite improvements and I’m glad that she was kept in last…

Michelle Williams & Brendan Cole – Jive

Liking Brendan’s Time Warp costume.  Finally a dance that does seem to suit Michelle though it’s a little too much ‘Time Warp’ and not enough Jive for my liking, obviously Brendan trying to cover up her dancing shortcomings. Only a 6 from me I’m afraid. Craig: 7 “Lobotomised…in a good way…because I’m from a theatrical…

Strictly Come Dancing – Sunday 17th October Results

Ok I know it’s a bit late, and most of you already know the results of the show, but I’ll blog about it anyway.  From watching the show on Saturday night I predicted Michelle would have the lowest audience votes and would be going home, but I also suggested on our Facebook page that Paul…

Michelle 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…

Laila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Paso Doble

This should actually be a Latin American dance that Laila can cope with! Smouldering start…but wait was that a lift?!!! Excellent performance, not sure how the judges will feel about the lifts, though it did seem to lose drive as the dance progressed. For me it would easily be a 9, if I ignore the…

The result

Same as last week, I don’t think anyone has to predict this one!Another no-question 4-0 send home. This is going to make the next couple of weeks really tough for those that are left though as the two [debatably] worst dancers have now left the show.
