I don’t think so, he’s a YouTuber but I doubt he has dancing backgrounds

Well done Tom

[Merry Mockmas]

I can't believe that Ross brought the Kilt out.

At least come out in a Rangers shirt.

Lewis was brilliant. Shirley is talking bollocks.

Jimmy was also undermarked by most judges apart from Anton tbh, since that is how you dance a real cha cha, the original cuban cha cha


Lewis was undermarked yes, and honestly his hip hop experience well it is completely different than latin or ballroom, like with hip hop everything needs to be robotic with the popping and locking, and in latin and ballroom you need more fluidity in each movement, and i was happy with what i saw from him last night, a good first ballroom routine


George, i kinda agree with Craig, the spanish lines looked poor, too straightened with his arm shaping, while you need to bend your hands into that matador pose, and i also thought it was a bit too much stomping around, a DWTS style paso rather than one with that authentic spanish vibe




i like Ross, i like his mentality of wanting to improve even if he isn't the strongest dancer, and that waltz was cute



i like Ellie, her waltz was beautiful, but having said that, this might've just been her dance, and i worry for her in some of the more technically difficult routines



Alex wasn't overmarked, she and JoJo made it look so easy while in fact it really isn't easy


Stefan undermarked if you ask me, i thought i saw some decent cuban breaks, and he was in sync with Dianne throughout the routine, i liked that one move on the floor especially, that a 66 yr old can do that and he looked good with that wig


La Voix undermarked, i liked that mind**** with us thinking at first it being a tango, but in the end it being a jive



Thomas no words, other than Strictly's very own Master P no basic salsa content whatsoever in there lol

Watching it again this morning.
Just the dances.
How much better it is when you switch off the judges chatter.

Amber and Lewis again the best for me.

However it's clear how hard the vast majority are trying to improve.

Honestly though, Thomas, that was probably the worst ever performance possibly on a series.
It's not all his fault, he simply cannot dance.

She really wants to get to Blackpool week so I hope she does.

[Livia]

I loved La Voix last night. George's paso was my dance of the night.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

No surprises : Lewis was my favourite last night. His talent and Katya choreography = brilliant

[Christmas Dynasnow]

[Nicky91]

Ross also is a weak dancer, but at least he has a better mentality, and his partnership with Jowita is so lovely

also lovely what Craig told him to just remain who he is in this competition, despite the bad criticism




but the criticism towards Stefan was uncalled for honestly, the man was doing the best he could with a dance he was dreading to do, and it is not like the cha cha cha is an easy dance, i mean with that weird way of moving with the straightened leg actions, and am i worried, no, i trust in the public, we ain't dance experts, and Stefan's routine was entertaining

well i highly doubt that, considering some weeds are hard to get rid of, for all we know Thomas is sticking around just as long as Mike Bushell did in his series


i worry for Stefan and for Ross
