Strictly Come Dancing week 5 – Halloween Special
Apologies for not blogging on last week’s action, but unfortunately we just couldn’t get the time. Tonight is the Strictly Halloween Special, and I can already predict that the scariest thing is going to be Nancy! First up is Russell Grant & Flavia Cacace with their Samba
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Samba
Hearing the screams last week (at BBC TV Centre) every time Matt was announced/appeared I know he has a strong audience backing but to be honest any one of the three finalists would be a worthy winner of the glitter ball trophy, and I’m pretty sure it’s the best final line-up we’ve ever had. Matt…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Samba
The weakest of the contenders still left in the competition Gavin is most likely going home this weekend, especially if he has Samba…but we’ll see. Gavin certainly trying with his hips but the whole routine looks a little manic, and if Craig penalised Kara & Artem for their slight over-extension to lift status Gavin is…

Ok so it’s a little bit late, but we’ve been working out in St Lucia so I’m sure you’ll forgive us a small delay! I have a confession though, I already know who went home on both of the two weeks that I missed (pretty difficult to avoid the whole internet and all our students…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Samba
Another Samba tonight, Ali scored well earlier on and it’ll be difficult to have such a direct comparison to her. I think Bruno might mention the stamping jump at the start, and Chris’ mouth is making a comeback. His hips are a little lacking but it’s a very good performance and I’ll give it an…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Samba
The bogey dance so far for most competitors, and I don’t think the Samba will prove to be her dance tonight either. Still looks too ‘nice’ and on a couple of moves Ali doesn’t appear to finish before she’s on to the next step and really needs to dance from the floor. I don’t think…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Samba
When I saw the training videos mid-week she looked a little flat so i’m hoping Vincent’s addressed that since. Len will definitely appreciate them going straight into the dance. For me i’d have Natalie take slightly more compact steps, this would help with the hip action. The bounce was improved over mid-week but I still…

So who can impress the judges enough to make it to Blackpool?First up Ali with her Paso Doble…and what’s this no shoes? Which straight away results in a slip. However I would say a much better performance than earlier on in the night. How will Zoe reply to that? No real improvement on her earlier…
Read MoreZoe Lucker & James Jordan – Samba
I don’t feel Zoe’s performed particularly well during the faster Latin dances so it will be interesting to see how she copes tonight.Looks to have been a slight mistake after the promenade runs, but so quickly recovered you probably wouldn’t notice too much. Her hip work just seems to be lacking for a great protion…

Time for Jo to go i’m afraid.Another good performance from Jade & Ian and a better one from Jo but still no contest between the two.
