Are there any performances that you just loved, which may not have been so popular with the judges, or even the voting public? I'm not talking about the SCD greats, like Jill's Jive, Alesha's Cha Cha Cha, Mark's Salsa and Tom's Showdance. Just ones that you enjoy and remember but others never really mention them anymore. You'll see what I mean by my list!

Mine:

Andrew and Ola's Samba
John and Nicole's Tango (REALLY like this)
Lisa and Brendan's Samba
Stephanie and Vincent's Quickstep.

These were ALL in the bottom two!

Another one I liked but wasn't very highly rated: Austin and Erin's Rumba.

I think the dances that have been forgotten IMO are:-
All of Aled & Lilia's dance including his Xmas Samba
Gethin & Camilla's Waltz - overshadowed by Rachel & Lisa - when his waltz was better than those two put together.

Anton and Patsy's tango.

Thought it was brilliant, and had it been in either series 5 or 6, probably would have gotten even better scores.

I really loved James and Camelia's paso at the time - (and never rated Goughie's) and weirdly enough I've never rated any paso Camelia's done since then.

Vincent and Louisa's VW was utterly charming.

But there wasn't enough Viennese in it- it wasn't as you'd expect a VW to be

Sure. I can understand the scores but it doesn't make me find it less charming

Absolutley- I thought James and Camilla's tango to Mein Herr was undermarked badly

Especially their ccc.

Goughie's Paso, Emma's Paso and Tom's Paso - can't bear his faces during it.

Matt's waltz from series 5- and how about his foxtrot and his samba. Should have been sixes not sevens and an eight IIRC

Anything that Matt Di A or Emma or Rachel danced, most were dreadfully overmarked just because of who they are.

Forgotten dances? I loved Claire and Brendan's AS.

Under-rated....

Roger and Camilla's foxtrot - Not the best foxtrot ever but for Roger a real achievement

James and Camilla's Tango - Like Craig I thought it was a brave routine but unlike Craig I thought it was worth more than a 6

Cherie and James' Rumba - Don't know if it was technically better than R+V's but I thought it had more 'woman power' Don't ask me to explain why...

Over-rated...

Matt and Flavia's Waltz - Doesn't matter how many times I see it, it still doesn't look like a 40 to me

Jill and Darren's Jive - Actually this routine was brilliant but I've seen it more times than The Great Escape and just got fed up of it

Mark and Karens' Salsa - Great at the time but for me has since been surpassed by Matt Di Angelo's (should have been a 40) and equalled by Tom Chambers imo

You say that as if it's a bad thing

Emma and Darren's Waltz and Paso Doble

James & Camilla and Patsy & Anton's Tango.

Emma & Darren's paso & Tango.

Alesha & Matt's Rumba ... it was their first dance and sort of got forgotten.

Bill & Karen's Cha Cha and Natasha & Brendan Jive also bring me a lot of happiness!

Jill & Darren's Rumba gets overshadowed by THE Jive. I prefered the Rumba!

Aled & Lilia's Tango & Paso in the Semi.

Gabby & James' Jive & Samba!!! Oh, and Kenny & Ola's Rumba ...

Peter & Erin's Samba/Paso? .... One, two, three, shake your body down!

Good thread! I will stop myself typing now!

It is, isn't it? Watching Steve McQueen bouncing that poxy ball off the wall over and over again is a reminder of how old I am I know it's uncharitable but I sometimes wish that ball was a hand grenade instead

...Back on subject, I enjoyed Sarah and Brendan's tango very much too

The first to enter my head...there will be more....

Letitia Dean's Paso....wonderful and undermarked totally!

Matt Di Angelo's Jive.

Don Warrington's Tango.

Heather Small's vienesse waltz...I thought it was lovely!

Oh Katie, thankyou, you've reminded me of Will's foxtrot..and his tango, I liked them.

Also Mark's VW and his waltz, they were lovely. Bill and Karen's CCC was legendary.

Most of the "forgotten" dances are forgotten for a reason but these ones come to mind:

Mark Ramprakash's waltz

Alesha's American Smooth

Matt Di Angelo's chacha

Gethin's foxtrot

As for overmarked dances - don't get me started! Lisa and Brendan's chacha, jive, AT... most of their dances in fact. Every dance that I thought was overmarked in the past pales in comparison..

Stu, I agree about Tom's Salsa! But... ahem... we're not the slightest bit biased at all, are we?

*does TCSC dance*

I'm there with you Strictly_Irish

*Attempts a bit of armography with the cat...who responds predictably*

While I'm here I'd like to add a general appreciation of Letitia Dean... and a bit of unappreciation to whoever designed a few of her dresses
