Aliona is amazing. Breath of fresh air, female Brendan, etc.
It's so good to have someone like her around pissing off the prudes and whiners and loosening this show up a bit.

Is this Pamela's forced smile and disingenuine hilarity? With that too blonde hair and rictus grin she is gradually morphing into Tina Sparkle from Strictly Ballroom. She is a good dancer but her way of performing is very old-fashioned. I prefer dancers who put a little bit of their own personality and true emotions into their performances.
Love Matt and Aliona in this clip. There seems to be a real connection and real sense of fun between them. The image of Pamela's jive smile still unsettles me. I also don't sense any of this supposed "joy" about her performances, and I think she's as much of a try-hard as Matt is - and Kara too. (They all seem dedicated and invested in the dancing; that's not a bad thing.) |

Just wish her colouring didn't make Matt look so pasty & emphasise his facial sheen.

Intersting interview with Matt and Aliona about their reaction to the harsh judging and some stuff about the showdance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1uyO-rFBrU Check out how she teases him to say something about the judges at 45 seconds into the VT Made me laugh ![]() |

They are so mismatched physically, but lately I do detect a bond.

I did not realise the contestants had to be colour matched - maybe Matt should dye his hair for the final?

Oh, I don't like Kristina too. To porny, if you get the drift!
I don't mind Natalie, but her teeth, oww, my eyes. ![]() I just want a more 'normal' look like Flavia. Hmm, my kind of girl. As for Aliona, her greatest mistake is her hair, ten years down the line she will look back at those pics and sob. ![]() |

They really are in tune with each other. For me theirs is a genuine rapport, they disagree, have an occasional fall out and laugh a lot. Brilliant partnership, which part of why they are my favourite couple.

They looked like a big contrast when they were first paired up, but Aliona has brought to the fore different aspects of Matt.
He has an artistic side, is very open minded but firm on doing things the right way. If you push him to his limit, he's still friendly polite and funny. And if he teams up with you, he's going to give you 100%. Aliona has worked her socks off in very testing conditions and produced a lot of very entertaining routines. Matt described her as a perfectionist and we have seen her work in detail on his technique. We learned recently that Matt has been to Brazil and saw them doing back flips in the Samba. That explains why Aliona said to Len 'We knew you wouldn't like it.' I think Matt was 100% behind her in including it. Whoever did the pairing up of the couples for this year really knew what they were doing. |

Initially I did not like Aliona but after the judging fiasco she has won me completely round. Hope she has got the choreography spot on tonight.

She must have known how the judges would react and, consequently, how upset Matt would get. Yet she still went ahead and did it. That isn't daring or ground-breaking. It's stupid and arrogant. And she isn't a female Brendan. I'm not Brendan fan, but at least he stands up for what he's done, defends himself and/or his celeb and even admits it when he gets it wrong. Aliona hasn't got the guts to do that - she stands there smirking. Not a particularly attractive trait ... |

Er - there wouldn't have been a 'judging fiasco' last week had Aliona actually choreographed a salsa, instead of some bizarre disco showdance.

Each to their own. I like her. As an aside, I've never known Brendan admit he's wrong, which he is , lots.
Not the Brendan of old, sure - maybe he's mellowing with age?! |

Matt is a talented dancer, but Aliona choreographed a poor routine which didn't make the most of his ability. Therefore they scored low. Her fault, not the judges. |
