  • Anton always seems to get the ones that he has to throw around.

    Though Alison did really well tonight. Still love Steve Backshaw image but the poor man has had several bad fractured in the past, so was surprised that he was being thrown on the floor.

    You and me both David, we saw the foot faults the judges did not mention they were looking at the shoulders. My top star tonight was Simon he had a very slight foot fault right at the end which caused a slight loss of balance, pity but 33? the judges marked him down, he was worth more.

    I am at the Albert Hall at the moment via TV of course, brings back memories.

  • Good show, nice not be too predictable each week, quite a few got good chances. Do think Judy should go and like RB can't be doing with Brendan, never liked him from the beginning. 

    Dance Off could be interesting though if Judy avoids it.

    I intended to pay attention to feet last night especially Caroline's and was disappointed at how many times we couldn't see their feet.

    Pleased to see Sunetra has continued to improve.

    Enjoyed watching Jake even if the judges didn't.

    I am surprised at how well Steve does move as I thought he might be 'muscle bound' I wonder if that is why Judy is so rigid.

    Alison and Judy in the dance off for me. If Judy goes I hope she loans her feet to Alison image

    Tess had better watch out as I think Zoe might be in line for her job.

  • Frankie, Pixie, Simon and Mark.........not necessarily in that order image

    Mrs Murray really must go this week.

    Zoe would be much better than Tess.......she loves herself too much.

    Sometimes I wonder who picks the music. How Steve and his partner were supposed to dance a Pasa Doble to that totally inappropriate piece beats me!

  •  I agree with Frank, re Simon....arguably the best dance of the night.

    IMHO, if the dance-off isn't between Alison & Judy, I fear some good dancer is going to go out.

    I always avoid the first few weeks, until the real c*** dancers have gone!  I'd heard a lot about Judy Murray and though she can't be that bad if she's lasted this long.  How wrong could I be?????

    He would get more expression and movement from his partner if he used a plank!  Andy Murray said before the series started that his mother would just be embarrassing and he's right.  Alison may not be a great dancer but she gives it her all and is roughly in time with the music image

    KEF, I feel the same about feet, was really going to make an effort to watch them but the cameraman thought otherwise!

    Kef I agree about the camera concentrating on the artistic bent although you can tell from the position of the body what the feet are doing, it is all about balance, a wrong foot position throws the dancer off balance as happened to Caroline last night. Simon had one foot fault and it threw him for a second so the over all outlook can tell a lot.

    Once the body is in the correct position the other partner follows, I never had to tell Joan what I was going to do next she felt the move and went with me as any good dancer can.

    Frank.
