Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Samba
So Phil’s turn to try the Brazilian carnival dance, lot’s of bounce and hip action required Phil!Quite a fast track they’ve picked for this Samba and I don’t think it’s doing them any favours. Absolutely no bounce and it looks very wooden except for the staged hip movement sections. For me I’d have to say…

This was looking very good, if a little boppy in training…Unfortunately still quite a lot of bobbing there Phil but some lovely throwaways. A bit of a frantic ending for my liking, and the finish appeared to go a bit wrong. Should easily get the 7’s I thought it would though.

Phil could’ve done with a Foxtrot to give his knee a bit of a rest…Surprisingly good beginning and really nice hip movement and confidence. A little bit basic at times, with a lot of repetition but that’s most likely due to the reduced practice time they’ve had available. Not a bad Salsa at all and…

Looks like they’ve forgiven the obvious mistake, and the marks are in line with the performance.… Depending on nerves this looked good in training and I predicted a 6-7. Now that’s some Brylcreemed hair! Nice Waltz performance, a slight slip unfortunately right in front of the judges, and needs to make sure that the toe…

So my scores varied a little from the judges but I think the leaderboard so far is a fair reflection. Alesha performed well for her first time judging, though I was sceptical about her comments at first.… Who’s good and who’s not… Phil’s making a few mistakes and getting caught up but seems to be…
