You managed to get through the post without mentioning A D B. That must be a first

Before you think I'm having a go, I'm not it's a joke. Hopefully you will see that

I thought Craig was spot on. Anton did have the steps but not the show or fun, pretty boring. He was let down by Laila who did very little compared to the other celebs in the charleston.

She did just as much, if not more, than Chris.

And he got pretty decent scores (and well deserved).

I don't think anyone is suggesting Laila should have been awarded 9's and 10's but a 6 was too meagre.

No show or fun? Boring?

I think you must have been watching a different dance to the rest of us, even the judges agreed that the show and fun were good.

Agree with this. I've watched it back a few times now and it was a very simple routine, and one that wasn't danced particularly well by Laila. Really don't understand peoples love for it. But then I didn't get the love for their paso either. IMO Laila's only decent dances have been her tango and foxtrot. And even those had mistakes.

More unexpected enjoyment than love, I suspect.

Not forgetting that the enjoyment appears to be heavily derived from Anton.

I really enjoyed that Charleston. Anton did dance well and the routine suited them both. Laila looked beautiful and at times in the dance, she did give it enough energy, but sometimes she looked a bit lazy.

They definately weren't the worst on the night and deserved to stay in. Nice to see Laila really enjoying the dance, and if my only complaint is that she didn't put enough energy into it all the way through, its something that can easily be fixed. She did something similar in the Paso, so she seems to be a bit forgetful to really sell the dance the whole way through sometimes.
