Audley Harrison & Natalie Lowe – Waltz

Audley has only apparently had 3 days, rather than 3 weeks of rehearsals, so I think this could be a poor performance if he hasn’t worked hard enough.  Training videos looked ok, but a problem with his top line not staying still could haunt him throughout the routine if Natalie hasn’t got it under control.…

Audley Harrison & Natalie Lowe – Strictly Training Video

Second up is Audley Harrison and Natalie Lowe with the Waltz. Audley is looking nice and light on his feet initially, though he really needs to take slightly smaller steps – it’s about driving forward to move further, not taking bigger steps. He has a nice frame, but doesn’t look quite so confident out of…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Argentine Tango

Can they come back from their bottom two position last week? Scott definitely has the right look for Argentine Tango, I still wish he’d keep his shoulders down.  Started with promise but seemed to lose a little momentum by the end.  Scott isn’t always looking at Natalie, and that loses a bit of the intensity…

Strictly Come Dancing – Sunday 5th December Results

Yesterday I predicted Gavin Henson and Ann Widdecombe to be in the bottom two, with Gavin just losing out in the audience vote.  Though I have the feeling we might see a shock in the bottom two tonight (I’m worried Matt might be in trouble). So first through this week: Gavin & Katya & Kata…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Paso Doble

Scott will be dancing the Paso Doble as James Bond this week, and apparently shirtless… He’s lacking Spanish lines and really needs to dance the ball more into the floor, but at least he’s more awake this week. A stripping ending just to make sure he gets the votes, think Natalie was worried? A bit…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Rumba

Can Scott pull off one of the hardest dances for male celebs? Hip action’s not bad, a little bit shaky at times and needs to keep his hands palm down during open outs and finish them better.  A very good Rumba though and definitely benefited from having it later in the competition. I’m going to…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Viennese Waltz

Good to see someone getting [pretty much] straight into the dance.  I feel Scott is just a little wooden during the fleckerls. It’s a good performance but I felt they did better last week, easily an 8 though. Craig: 9 Len: 10 “Last week good, this week great…absolutely spell binding” Alisha: 10 “I think you…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Tango

Scott impressed with his Quickstep last week, though I didn’t feel it was quite a 9 yet.  A Tango should fit in with Scott’s acting ability though, and Natalie does choreograph good routines. There’s definitely intensity from the start, and Scott definitely looks like he’s losing weight.  I’m not a fan of the short jackets…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Waltz

We might not be able to see it, but Scott has purportedly got a two-tone nether region, thanks to a spray-tan g-string malfunction.  Let’s hope it doesn’t affect his Waltz abilities too much! The start looks a little wooden in terms of the interaction between them – Scott’s doing the actions but I don’t feel…
