  • From a non-dancer, Jake has done fantastically well, but in reality not progressed too far beyond a good party dancer and (IMHO) it was his time to go. Mark is marginally better but still far, far behind the other three.

  • Bit of a surprise but glad he stayed.

    I want Frankie to win.

    Good show on Saturday with some fabulous dancing.   Very pleased to see some decent armography in Caroline's salsa and Frankie's Argentine Tango was wonderful.  Pasha and kevin are very clever.

    I thought Jake was the weakest so am pleased he's gone.   I thought the choreography for Mark's rumba was poor but he danced well.  Shame about Simon's misake in samba. Let's hope he doesn't mess up next week or it will be a very one sided competition.

    I'm glad Jake's gone. Want Frankie to win but Caroline was superb this week. I loved the choreography for Mark's rhumba, beautiful and graceful.

    Fair result image

    Did I hear Len say that the couples have to do the best with the music they are given?  I assumed that the pro' picked which music to dance to.

    Nope.  Some eejit picks the music and then expects a Paso Doble to look good with rock music and wants a decent Argentine tango to a Greek Sirtaki or Beethoven's 5th which are completely the wrong mood.  Ludicrous but I thought clever Kevin did very well.   Loved his rumba choreography too.

  • I heard Kevin interviewed on the radio and he did say the music choice was 'discussed', with the producers, the pro's having some say, allowed to give their own ideas and if they were lucky getting what they wanted. All part of the challenge I suppose. image

    I did feel sorry for Len, he was correct in one was a Rumba with no Rumba in it and the other a Cha cha with no dance steps, to his thinking they should both have gone. The professional choreographers went too far so it is not the Celebs to blame, they both did the best with what they trained for. Neither have much chance against Caroline and Frankie, Simon is coming up on the rails, unless those three fall over, drink too much wine or over indulge the mince pies then Mark is out first leaving the real dance competition.

    Frank.

  • Kristina certainly doesn’t let the grass grow under her feet...according the gossip columns she and Simon are to make their romance public after Strictly is over.
