She's my fav yet her tango was not good. I'm very disappointed. I now think Abbey will win. >:( Sophie needs to pull it out the bag next week.

That could be said every week that Sophie dances. The tango was just plain bad, what the heck was up with her hand. The one thing we have been shown since Strictly started is that in the tango the woman's free hand is tucked close to the man's armpit and should be palm down. Craig even made a big deal about it with Natalie. She didn't hold her top line and there was no staccato. Susanna's AT was bad, but Sophie's was just as bad for different reasons.
Yes I agree. Its all those dances where she has to act a part thats very different from her natural self she just can't manage.
me too she performed it well
But I have to agree with the judges, at times it looks like Brendan is dragging her through the ballroom hold simply because of the lack of tone/strength in her upper body to get the position right.
I enjoy watching Sophie dance though and I've liked her partnership with Brendan who has, imo, produced some of his best choreography this year.
The whole package was stunning.
Nice one Brendan.:)
I do like her, but sometimes she looks a bit in a different world, just going through the motions.
For me, that was just about her best dance since her charleston, helped on both occasions by great choreography by Brendan.
At the moment she is too often dragged around by Brendan. Just so annoying that spark is still missing. Abbey for all her foot faults & gapping does at least appear to really enjoying things.
I agree with that she gave more of a performance but not that she is 'going through the motions'. Her AT left a lasting impression which showed up Susanna & Kevin's effort and the Viennese Walse was stunning and made Abby's look merely O.K. I feel that Natalie has just been going through the motions since the week she drove herself too hard.
Susanna & Kevin have done one stand out dance - the paso - which overshadowed Natalie & Artem's. People are too willing to take on board the judges' harsh treatment of Sophie.
Need to sort it out soon - time is running out!

The choreography was good but the music? OMG the music!
Lol - I was thinking the same, bit of gurning (not too much!) couple of squeals here and there then a bit of jumping up and down when she gets anything over a seven
Guess it's completely out of character for her though
And I think that is why I like her, she doesn't play the 'look at me' game, won't join the tango club and is reserved without being cold. She does express joy in certain dances she just doesn't shout about it, camera zone or try to play the public.
I'm not implying one other contestant does ALL these things, it's a mash up of the other three.
