Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – Rumba

Ricky has consistently been the clown in the competition so far, but he can’t really afford to be too funny in this dance.The weight loss is definitely showing in Ricky now and he’s looking good, though the hips are a little forced in that beginning, and still needs to watch his shoulders when in hold.…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – American Smooth

Ricky and Erin have decided to choose a Viennese Waltz as their American Smooth dance and from the training videos I think that could prove to be a good choice.Shame he was out of time at the start there as they came together. An excellent performance, with a cheeky bit of Quickstep thrown in for…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – Jive

Up first then Ricky and ErinDoes need to point those toes down, and not sure about the constant clicking. It does seem a little flat, even though Ricky does appear to be bouncing the whole way round. Not as inspiring as i’d hoped but not a bad performance. Thought 7’s and I think he should…

Can the Strictly comedian pull off a serious Foxtrot, well if he can sort out that frame he might have a chance.The high shoulders do ruin the look, and contribute to the unplanned tilt in the spins. Shoulders are getting higher as the dance progresses, and that’s such a shame. A nice Foxtrot, ignoring the…

Round-up and group Jackson tribute

Personally wouldn’t have scored it as high as that, felt there were a few frame issues but no matter, the leaderboard is about right.… Chris Hollins showing that he really does have some surprising potential, Joe unfortunately not so much and Ricky is still entertaining.  Lynda giving it her all!

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag

I think Ricky’s personality will come through in the dance, but there might be problems from the waist down.… Stompy but certainly lots of personality, though I feel like my eyes have been burnt by the hip thrusting at the judges. Not bad forward walks but again another celebrity who has to learn to use…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag

Maybe i’ll have a go at predicting scores as well! This promises to be good – Erin being a ballroom specialist and all!Ricky – relax those shoulders!!! Quite a nice slow routine and doesn’t look bad at all, though saw the odd misplaced heel. Overall I think a 7…let’s see if they agree with me…
