Definitely Mock.

Adam dipped last week although I haven't been greatly impressed with him up to now anyway.
The routines haven't been all they could have, for me anyhow.

From my own family and those I discuss Strictly with.
I've never come across such massive enthusiasm after a dance, like I've heard re John and Johannes Paso Doble.

It was really brilliant in my view, a continuous and packed routine.

It will be interesting to see how things go this weekend again too.

I had some hopes for Tilly but she does good though not with that sparkle needed.

Somehow I think Judy and Dan may struggle again.

However, this series is really one of the strongest ever for me as to Strictly.

The faults are few really and seem to not affect the routines at all.
My gripe is when what the dance is and when it's NOT done at least in a major part how it ought to be.

Yes, if they must have segments of a variation, fine, however stick to the disciplines of the dance too mostly too.

But Judy has ballroom, so she should be fine.
The people who have Latin will likely score less.
Apart from Rhys, who I expect will dance a great salsa.
Rose will also do great, but won't be a high score.

Rose I agree does and will do great probably.

How in the week 10s were being dished out, then she didn't get one for that hauntingly beautiful routine she did last weekend, is beyond me.

I agree with you on Adam, I like the guy but he just can't dance from what I've seen so far.

I liked Tilly's Charleston, but that's been about it so far for her.

And John & Johannes so far for me have been so incredibly consistent, I can definitely understand why people are starting to hype them up, especially after the Paso performance (which I can understand why your friends & Family have rated that dance highly) it'll be a shame to see that consistency ruined on Saturday if the American Smooth goes wrong.

And I agree with you that the dances by and large should always have basic steps that need to always be followed, I never understand it when people do a dance and then don't recreate the dance at all.
