Dances for 5th December
OK we are finally at the two proper dance stage. Chris said he has Samba so that would lead me to believe its their last ballroom and Latin which are:-
Ali Tango and Samba Ricky Foxtrot and Cha Cha Cha Chris Waltz and Samba Laila American Smooth and Salsa |

All of them have the worst Latin's they could have got this week. Should see some fabulous Ballroom dances though!

Now that Ali's shown some personality/performance in the charleston, I'm interested in seeing what her tango is like.

Think Ali might have a test with the Tango.....not a floaty ballroom dance.

![]() She's always had the technique - she just needs the performance |

Challenging, but it's her chance to develop her performance skills. Which are - finally - being displayed now.
Doddle. Walk in the park. Piece of cake. And similar cliches. Blimey, samba again. Ewww. Anton? Salsa? Christ, haven't we suffered enough already? ![]() ![]() None of those Latins fill me with excitement.

Crish has the samba but has the waltz which is the easier of the ballrooms imho.Ricky did good with his quick step so should be OK with the Foxtrot and the Cha Cha Cha will be challenging but not as much so as the samba. Leila - AS - doddle, Salsa (cover your eyes and pray) |

Does that mean it will be either rock n roll/ charlestone + argentine tango in the semi finals then?

Chris having the Samba next week almost guarantees Ola will be in the teeniest tiniest costume ever seen on Strictly!

Ricky Whittle has confirmed they are doing both their remaining 'proper' dances next week, both the ballroom and latin. Therefore it will be:
Ricky: Cha Cha Cha and Foxtrot Ali: Samba and Tango Chris: Samba and Waltz Laila: Salsa and American Smooth In that case, I think the leaderboard will belong to Ricky and Ali next week. |

Ali - Tango & Samba - May struggle with both, but the judges will still love her
Ricky - Foxtrot & Cha Cha Cha Two good dances for him and I can see 9s across the board Chris - Waltz & Samba Should be fine with the Waltz, but the judges will hate his Samba Laila American Smooth and Salsa AS should be spectacular and may save their bacon, but the Salsa will be a disaster Chris will be at the bottom of the judges' leader board next week and I honestly believe the judges will want Ricky, Ali and Laila in the final - not Chris. |

The Tango might be a challenge for Ali with its rigidity and her problem with her shaking left hand/elbow. Last night in the VW she was doing it again. Craig was on to it last week but Len didn't mention it last night.
Having watched the VW again this morning, it's quite amusing to see the judges not watching the dance - just passing bits of paper back and forth. |

Please whatever Ali dances dress her in colour, she looks stunning in bright shades.

In the two dance scenario next week, do the couples in the dance off perform their lower or higher scoring dance?

Also, according to wikipedia, in the Semis they are the AT and the Charleston/Rock N Roll...thankfully.
In that respect: Ricky and Natalie's Charleston should be great. Chris and Ola's RnR I imagine would be really fun, but Im not sure if they can do any spectacular lifts. Laila and Antons RnR...well, if its anything like their jive (I dont care what they say, I always found Jive and RnR to be very similar when I used to dance) it will be awful Ali and Brian's RnR will be good but will lack ooomph. |

So, Latin's going to be poor...
Although Ali might be more suited to a samba than other Latins (except maybe rumba). Ricky will suffer if he can't show enjoyment and fun (or is it funness?!) in the cha cha. I am dreading the salsa (for Anton more than Laila) and other (likely gurn-infused) samba. Ballroom should be good at least. SHOULD. |

If he's top of the public vote, he could avoid the dance off altogether.
