Austin Healey & Erin Boag – Paso Doble

Austin performed an amazing Paso Doble in 2008’s competition and I felt was very unlucky to go out without reaching the final. Well that’s a start and a half, though I’d prefer a more Spanish arm shape at times. However a very entertaining performance (as Austin always managed) and a great aggressive performance. A 9.5…

The moment of truth, dance off, and result

Will my prediction of a Laila and Ricky dance off pan out? Bottom three as expected, now who have the public gone for? Yep Natalie & Vincent are saved by the audience, and Laila and Ricky are in the dance-off. More importantly it’s Erin versus Anton! If Ricky can perform without making any mistakes then…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – Tango

So I didn’t expect a comical take on a Paso, let’s see if Ricky can keep it serious for the Tango. Emma’s not really ‘feeling’ Erin’s dress this week, and I must admit it does look a little weird. Just loses a little bit of drive at times and his dropped head makes him look…

Either way I think they’ll save her till the bottom three. As expected! Out of these…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – Viennese Waltz

Another celebrity who’s more at home in the ballroom dances. His Viennese American Smooth was very good so I’m expecting good things tonight.A little skippy, which i’m sure Craig will pick up on, fleckerl wasn’t too bad though. The dance is let down by the skipping as it ruins the overall look, and with only…

The moment of truth, dance off, and result

Who stays, and who has to dance again? Well done Ian for getting through! So Phil gets public support, how about CK? Out of those bottom 3 (Laila, Ricky Groves, Craig) I think Laila will be through… Sorry CK but I think your time is definitely up now! Good to see Ricky gets the arms…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – Salsa

Ricky could have some issues with this fast and complicated dance, but let’s hope he puts on a good show. Well it looks like the goldfish mouth is back with a vengeance, shame the hands are a little sloppy. Some really complex arm movements there, shame about the mistake though. Entertaining and I think deserves…
