I underestimated Gavin and overestimated Michelle. I thought Ann would be worse than she was too (which says it all
).

I thought Felicity, Scott and Kara would be better (the latter 2 were badly overmarked imo).
Gavin really surprised me, I thought Katya did a fantastic job with him. I had a suspicion Tina and Jared would be bad, but I underestimated just how bad! |

I definitely did! I tipped Michelle, Jimi, and Kara for the top spots. I also overestimated Felicity and Scott. And I expected Gavin to be a car crash, so kudos to Katya!

Jimi, Michelle and Felicity I overestimated - particularly disappointed by Jimi. On the other hand, Gavin shocked me by actually doing rather well.

I was expecting (hoping!) that Felicity would have been better and I was certainly expecting more from Michelle. I agree with others that Gavin exceeded my expectations - Katya did a really good job with the choreography for him.

He is going to have to up his choreography if they are to progress. Reading between the lines I thought that the judges intimated that. |

My concern over Jared being a pro on the show was his ability to choreography routines for a show like SCD. He's done a lot of choreography, but nothing like this. That said, I don't think it will be a problem now that he has seen all the other couples dance. He is a little sweetie! Quote:

Yes, I got quite a few wrong. A few of them messed up the routine, but still showed potential to be much better.
Gavin was the biggest surprise. Apparently when they finished the dance he said "You owe me" to Katya. I hope he was joking, because it should have been the other way round. But they succeed or fail together, and that was a big success. |

Gavin was a real surprise, i really thought he'd be rubbish!
I thought Jimi and Tina would be much better, but i have a feeling they will be next week. Kara was as good as i thought she'd be, such a shame about her mishap. |

I seriously underestimated Gavin I am hoping the confident this weeks performace will have given him will mean he storms the latin.
I seriously overestimated Michelle.....I agreed with Craig....I was really dissapointed. Tina and Jared BOTH need to up their game, I agree with Buddy I am sure he will up his game now we has seen what the others have produced and it wasnt seriously bad. Ballroom next week for them so I will watch with interest. I have to say Paul wasnt as bad as I feared he wasnt as odious as Dom Littlewood Pamela really suprised me and I am praying she will let rip in the latin too. Come on Jimi you can do better than that. |

Pamela Stephenson and Matt Baker were much better than I thought they'd be - think we all feel that. Gavin came through for Katya just like Phil did last year. She had her work cut out with both of them and yet they both did a nice waltz .

I totally misjudged them and it serves me right for judging a book by it's cover. I thought Michelle Williams would be really good, another Alesha and she was actually pretty bad. I also thought the Eastenders guy would be another lame Craig what's his name, Flavia's partner last year, but he was really, really good I thought.

I completely underestimated Gavin - I thought he would be too self-concious, but he was very good. His latin will be interesting though!
Michelle Williams was VERY disappointing. How can you dance in an r'n'b girlband for years and do a cha-cha-cha that awkwardly? |

The judges seemed to think she needed taking down a peg or two, or something, maybe they wanted to make it clear they didn't buy into the pre-show hype.
