the field just isnt as strong
i just dont think this year's dancers are as good as previous years..
the field all just seems weaker and i think this is why we are having problems with marks all round i dont think there is a clear great dancer here.. ricky is erroneous, knock kneed and pienon toed so can never be excellent ali is just too boring at latin to be great laila is weak at latin too natalie, ricky and chris are not good dancers even if they are lovely and jade is now out. and was good but not great. this is of course my view.. but even if you diagree with the specifics my general point is overall the best this year is not as good as the best of previous years... even the top 3 of other series.. your thoughts ? |

I agree but I think Laila is week at Latin because Anton is.

Have to disagree, OP!
![]() Ricky Whittle - one of the best male dancers they've ever had! Ali - beautiful dancer, not yet cracked the latin properly but always wonderful to watch, so graceful. Jade - a lot better than good, I would have to say!! Zoe was brilliant too, shame she left so early on. Chris Hollins - works very hard, successfully masters some fun routines, always entertaining to watch. |

No. They are substantially less talented as a group than in the last four or five years.

I agree with OP. I wouldn't miss the show but am vaguely depressed about it. I will miss Jade like mad - for me she was this year's Lisa in the "spectacular figure" department and was getting there as a dancer.

The difference this year is that the top dancers all have obvious weaknesses as you outline above. I guess that's the luck of the draw. They have no way of knowing when they pick the celebrities how good/bad they are going to be. |

Arguably the OP is right.
RickyW is so far ahead on the male side it's embarrassing...but it's difficult to get too enthused when his bandy legs are so obvious. As for the females, I think in another series Ali would be 2nd or 3rd in the pecking order but not in this cast. Jade's more consistent but not nearly as elegant and Laila a bit too hit-and-miss. |
