The Argentine Tango is just as much a walking dance as the ballroom Tango, but with an A shaped embrace instead of a V shape. Lifts should look totally seamless and be brief and secondary to an embrace-led dance. Leader ganchos are unnecessary; they can be put in but need to be really sharp (which they weren't). Like the all-male Argentine Tango last year (which Craig actually overmarked) this looked like a clunky series of lifts and poses and not a dance. Molly should have been top, then Fleur. Will and Helen looked similar level this week. No matter the quality of the dances the judges, especially Shirley, seem determined to do their best to get 2 men in the final.

I agree with you on Hamza's AT, it was mediocre at best imo.
I remember really liking John's last year though, but then I remember thinking that him, AJ & Rhys were the ones that it should've been between to win.
