Jason Donovan & Kristina Rihanoff – Cha Cha Cha
I’ve often considered acquiring a neck brace to torture my students with, Jason’s performance tonight may make my mind up for me. Russell may have performed ‘the campest Cha Cha Strictly’s ever seen’ but Jason wouldn’t be far behind after that start. Some nice hip action though, but he does get out of step on…
Read MoreEdwina Currie & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha
Edwina had quite a good hip action developing in training so I hope to see more of that tonight, not sure on the outfit they’ve put her in though. She needs to avoid picking her feet up quite so dramatically, and the floor spin for Vincent is definitely a departure. A lot of repetition in…
Read MoreAlex Jones & James Jordan – Cha Cha Cha
So no explanation for the change in dance order, maybe the BBC just decided they fancied a change (Alex and James were originally scheduled to dance last night but were swapped with Holly and Artem at the last minute)? Not sure on the ‘sexy’ start, doesn’t strike me as Alex’s personality and actually this routine’s…
Read MoreHarry Judd & Aliona Vilani – Cha Cha Cha
Harry’s the only celebrity competitor with prior Strictly experience, but Paso is completely different from Cha Cha so I don’t think it’s a massive advantage. I’m liking this Argentine Tango inspired start, Harry’s definitely looking good and it’s a massive improvement over any of Friday’s Cha Cha’s. A bit too much ‘arm on the waistcoat’…
Read MoreRussell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Cha Cha Cha
I wonder if all of Russell’s songs will be astronomically based…? A surprisingly good start from Russell with good rhythm and hip action and definitely some sass (though that’s normally expected from the girl Russell!) Needs to be a little less violent with his arm placements in the New Yorks, and he looks a little…
Read MoreRobbie Savage & Ola Jordan – Cha Cha Cha
Robbie looked to struggle with the Cha Cha in training and a hoodie outfit doesn’t fill me with the greatest of confidence…surely that should have been in Audley’s outfit?! It’s started more like a Paso Doble than a Cha Cha and like a lot of Ola’s routines seems to consist of the guy standing there…
Read MoreLulu & Brendan Cole – Cha Cha Cha
Lulu was “devastated” to get Brendan according to Brucie, but I’m sure it was all for the cameras! Theirs was one of the first training videos we saw, and it looked quite good then so I’m looking forward to seeing what 3 weeks has added to it. Oh dear Brendan, why did you have to…
Read MoreHolly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev – Cha Cha Cha
As Holly says in her intro, she’s dancing with last year’s winner so there’s definitely a lot of pressure there. Holly’s not looking too bad in training so let’s see how the performance goes. I’d like to see a bit more hip action and a little less posing, Holly also needs to keep her eyes…
Read MoreRussell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Strictly Training Video
Oh dear is all I can say, based on the screen shot, let’s see if the video makes it any better. Unfortunately it looks like Russell is definitely the weakest of the opening competitors, but then I don’t think Cha Cha was the easiest one for him to be given first. We’ll just have to…
Read MoreHolly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev – Strictly Training Video
Thought I better get the last few training videos up asap before the show starts at 9pm tonight. First up tonight is Holly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev with their Cha Cha Cha. Holly has a nice hip and arm action developing but I haven’t seen enough of the dancing in this video to make a…
