great dance debrief from Craig last night on ITT


good constructive criticism for everyone bar Rose too (whom he had nothing but praise for, and he was looking for faults in her tango but couldn't find any so he had to give that 10)

[Lewismacfarlane]

John and Johannes
Tom and Amy
Rose and giovani

It's the best song they could get for a samba. I'm excited to see it now!

[Nicky91]

tbf Judi wasn't that bad, considering she only had 1 day of training, and basically just a studio rehearsal


loved her and Graz's exit interview last night great they have become friends for life

Wasn't keen on Adam's jive.

Rose is doing pretty good or best she can,of the samba, however it's a dance I dislike.

Great samba from Rose

[joeysteele]

Wasn't mad on Tom's Paso either, sorry.

[joeysteele]

I am enjoying this from Rhys however.

[joeysteele]

Hmm, Tilly I thought was good.
Not sure what I thought of Dan's.

[joeysteele]

Can't stand this song that A J is lumbered with.

2. AJ & Kai (Non-Mover)
3. Rhys & Nancy (+2) - A bit stiff in parts, but overall I thought that he did a strong dance. Technically I feel like he is one of the stronger dancers in the lineup.
4. Rose & Giovanni (Non-Mover) - I'm probably gonna get lynched for saying this, but Rose's dance was not a 40 tonight imo, I thought that it was a decent dance, but to me it was too basic to be a 40. Good staging though.
5. John & Johannes (-4)
6. Adam & Katya (+2) - I don't expect the best dances from Adam, but it was definitely an improvement on last week imo. And good Music.
7. Tom & Amy (-4) - Considering the song choice, I found it to be lacking the energy of the song.
8. Judi & Graziano (NEW) - Wow!
9. Sara & Aljaz (Non-Mover) - No offence to Sara but she is very stiff in this dance.
10. Tilly & Nikita (-4) - Again a 35 for this dance? Personally I didn't even think that it was even at a good level, let alone a 35.

Overall I thought that the night was good, the judges scoring however leaves a lot to be desired.

1. AJ & Kai (+1) - A very good performance. AJ is showing herself to be the best dancer on a technical level imo.
2. Tom & Amy (+5) - Again a really strong dance. Definitely my favourite Tom dance.
3. Dan & Nadiya (-2) - Obviously he isn't the best dancer in the competition, but I just find some of his dances fun to watch.
4. Rhys & Nancy (-1)
5. John & Johannes (Non-Mover) - Technically a decent dance, but I'm not really very big on Rumba dances tbh.
6. Rose & Giovanni (-2)
7. Adam & Katya (-1)
8. Tilly & Nikita (+1) - I forgot that she had even danced for a moment.
9. Sara & Aljaz (-1) - No offence to Sara, but Aljaz just dragged her along the dancefloor. Clearly the weakest dancer left in the competition.

[Vanessa]

I just don't get the appeal of Dan. He can't dance at all!

[Liam-]

Craig must have something against AJ

[joeysteele]

I've changed my mind a few times on them all tonight.
I wasn't impressed with most really.

1. John and Johannes, I just loved the intense atmosphere around this routine.
2. A J and Kai.
3.Tom and Amy.
4. Rhys and Nancy.
5. Rose and Giovanni.
6. Tilly and Nikita.
7.Sara and Alijaz.
8.Dan and Nadiya.
9. Adam and Katja.( I thought this a weak jive).

Took a while for me to decide this list,I wasn't impressed with many really.
My 3rd, 4th and 5th could have been all joint 3rd.

Tbf I don't think that Dan has reached this week because of his fantastic dancing ability.

Tom rose aj final 3

[Nicky91]

Adam & Katya: not a too bad Jive, i quite enjoyed it, shame for whatever happened in beginning, because for the rest it looked good, very neat kicks and flicks too 7

Rose & Gio: for me personally a very fun samba, but my bias probably because i am a huge fan of this song, technique wise nice efforts on such a tricky dance 8

Tom & Amy: very well executed Paso doble for a novice, interesting choice of outfit colours, like my dad said a sort of ''british paso with same colours as british flag'' 9

Rhys & Nancy: somehow wasn't that much of a fan of this dance, thought he also went wrong in the beginning near the car, don't know why judges were praising him with 9's as i found it quite mediocre or near bad 6

Tilly & Nikita: amazing tango, simply wow also loving the queen's gambit inspiration with the chess pieces combined with the staccato attitude of this dance loved it 10

Dan & Nadiya: sorry craig i like vanilla, saccharine, sweet type of performances, the chemistry here is just amazing to watch, it also put a smile on my face, clever clever choreo, good job #TeamWalkova 9

John & Johannes: hmmm difficult one for me to judge, did i feel it yes but it could've been so much better either, John is capable of so much more, good rumba so a 8

AJ & Kai: PERFECTION, this was stunning, superb traditional charleston, great swivels, great lifts, great character throughout 10

Sara & Aljaz: why was this last to perform in running order, overmarked a lot, if Aljaz was dancing with a broomstick you wouldn't notice much difference, way too stiff also with her head placement which looked awkward how she did hold the same position the entire time, and you are allowed to smile more genuinely in this dance, didn't enjoy this that much 4

Dan's always been in his comfort zone basically


i agree with Shirley, but this week he was far out of that comfort zone with the street elements


he also has a fab chemistry with Nadiya, one of best chemistries i've ever seen on the show so far


this couples choice best so far of the series, put a big smile on my face and i have rewatched it quite few times either

[Nicky91]

Dan, Tom, Tilly my final 3


best complete packages

[Nicky91]

Dan is a brilliant dancer


anyone who says otherwise is racist against all of us tall people

[joeysteele]

Sorry like, however I don't see Dan as a dancer in any way at all.
I get his dances are humorous and so entertaining.
However his arm movements aren't natural, they even looked forced.

I couldn't care if he was 5 feet tall or 7 feet tall.
His routines don't come across as natural movement.
Last night's routine was to me anyhow, uninspiring in any shape or form.

[Vanessa]

Rose is the one who gets me excited every week. So I make sure I vote for her every week. She's a star.
I also like AJ and John. That's my top three.
