I was a bad blogger last week and just didn't get chance to update due to me appearing in Legally Blonde the Musical.
Davood & Nadiya - Jive
The Barista Vt was cringey but he was dancing to a top tune! More bounce needed and he needed to flick from the knee more. A fast routine full of content and lots of basic jive. A good energetic opening to the show.

Mollie & AJ - Viennese Waltz
Quite a bit of messing about at the beginning until they got into hold. Lovely lines and posture throughout from Mollie and a very tidy routine. Not out of this world for me but there was loads of content.

Simon & Karen - Charleston
Felt awkward watching this and he seemed to be struggling a lot. Timing issues and no swivel, this was dad dancing at its finest with his mouth open all the time! He could be in danger this week!

Debbie & Giovanni - Rumba
2 Latin dances in a row for Debbie coming from the CCC last week. She did show some signs of nerves but what an excellently well executed Rumba, probably one of the strongest female Rumbas. Filled with loads of Rumba content which were danced so so well.

Brian & Amy - Jive
When I saw their costumes at the start of the show I commented that they looked like they were on Hi-De-Hi! Whilst Brian danced the moves in time and order, he did look like a Juvenile (under 12's) at a competition. Very little bounce action and no flicking from the knee. Brian could also be in danger this week.

Susan & Kevin - Cha Cha Cha
Loved wee Susan in her dressing gown, she looked amazing again. Lots of content in this but the technique wasn't strong which I suspected it wouldn't be. She is very consistent in her approach to each dance and has a great energy and warmth. I just love how she throws herself into every dance.

Aston & Janette - Waltz
A very contemporary feel to this Waltz. Excellent footwork and amazing rise and fall. A great frame and some signs of swing and sway, a very confident performance from Aston but not my favourite of his routines.

Ruth & Anton - Samba
Fabulous song, Brenda and Natasha danced to this song in Series 1 for their famous Samba. Anton looked like he had stepped out of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert!. There was a big mistake in the middle of the routine. Not her best and again Ruth could be in danger this week.

Gemma & Alijaz - Foxtrot
Gemma looked incredibly nervous. A lovely full Foxtrot, no gimmicks, props or messing about - a very classy routine. Gemma needed to relax a little bit more but she is really coming on and improving week on week, some great technique displayed.

Joe & Katya - Paso Doble
Well Joe looks like he has had the double dip in the fake tan this week! Not a huge fan of the Paso but I love Katya's choreography, she is a real talent. A great routine from Joe, well executed and very convincing with excellent shaping throughout. Think he was however, overmarked by Shirley

Alexandra & Gorka - Samba
Again they are left until near the end of the show! Could not take my eyes off her legs. Amazing routine, what can't she do? I agree about her feet but she is born to dance and entertain. A very powerful performance again this week. I would like to see her do a Rumba soon.

Jonnie & Oti - Quickstep
Dancing on his blade this week Jonnie was amazing. He tends to stick his bottom out a lot. He had a lot more sass and swagger about him this week, following his acting lesson and he seemed a lot more confident. A full on Quickstep which he executed superbly.
