Mat and the samba ruined by s/saults but fine dancing
Kara best dance of the evening including an illegal lift but pure class
Pam in both dances fine technically and romantic by the bucketful

Matt showdance put together by a non-dancer one time gymnast and lacked dance or even acceptable transmission one athletic move to another

Pam show dance fine and again buckets of romance and strong technique

Kara show dance lovely musical and with one error was technically better than fine

If there is at least 50% dance in the judgement Matt will go out

The show dance decided my vote...for Pamela even though I have been supporting Kara for weeks. Matt's showdance was awful so for me it should be Kara and Pamela in the final two and then may the best dancer win

Kara's was awful also but loved her 1st dance. Pamela's showdance was... well... like all her others.

Play it safe and simple, take no risks..if that's your idea of a "showdance" then Pamela is your winner. For me Pamela and James' showdance was not worthy of the name.
I didn't like Matt's or Kara's efforts, but at least they made me sit up and take notice. They both failed, but they were glorious failures.

Can't think of a better place for a crotch, in Artem's face! OOOOh I've come over all giddy!

Steady!

Agreed.
Pamela's dance was a pleasant dance but was boring and not a show dance, very clever of James.

Those remarks are the very antithesis of Matt's character, his fans love him for the gentleman that he is.

Not a Pamela fan but that show dance was lovely and classy. Wish they would realise that a good show dance is not a frenetic series of lifts

Indeed Kara should have embellished her smooth as a show dance and actually got points for her lifts rather than lose them to Len. She could have done any of her dances she got 9 for from Craig as her favourite, and taking out whatever he marked her down for would have got her 40 for that.

Matt is more difficult. He's inclined to do gymnastics. Its not clear he could fill the time with much else, and he comes from the period when male gymnastics had much less attention paid to performance and acting skills, so didn't have them in his gymnastics package.
