    To be honest l was sad to see the losing couple leave although l understand the judges' reasoning based on the content etc.

  • I didn't think the right two were in the dance off. And also feel the wrong one went home.
  • I agree with you @star gaze lily and @AnniD

    Must say I really do enjoy this show. It seems to touch people so much.

    It was the content thing that did it for them. Me and OH both said if they were in the dance off, they would be going unless the other couple messed up. Any other way wouldn’t have been fair, because how can you score a dance higher when the celeb was barely doing the dance? Pity though, I liked them a lot.

  • Funny old dance the Rhumba....for men,women not so much.
    Somehow for me, it felt wrong sending him home because of an unfortunate dance.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
  • They call it the dance of death which rings true as far as the male contestants go.

    For better or worse, people are sent home based on a single performance and not on their overall ability/improvement through the series.

    i think the women professionals need to be more inventive with their rumba choreographies.   Even at our level the man gets more to do in most figures than just standing mostly on the spot which Adam appeared to be doing for most of his 90 seconds.

    It's true that the man has to be in the right place and with arms and legs in the right place to support the woman as she pivots, spot turns, pirouettes, goes "round the world" and so on but it does involve moving his feet, hips and arms in synch and there are all sorts of figures where the couple move across the floor more than Luba's choreography.

    I didn't think the right two were in the dance off either.

    I've liked Ellie from the start.

    I would never have thought you could dance an Argentine Tango to Tattoo but it would seem you can.
