Just wanted to say this!!

Im a brendan fan have been since series 1!!

loved the samba tonight, had so much respect that he let her dance most of it on her own!! and she had bounce action, hip action, kept timing through most of it!! for possible two weeks the HARDEST LATIN DANCES she has done really well and got the content it!!

yep they ran up the stairs but came back down an used the stairs to maintain the samba bounce!!

WELL DONE LULU!!! from week one what a vast improvement!!

I wasnt really a fan at first but she has become one of my favourites.She totatally captured the mood of the dance and I enjoyed it.
She has really improve since the series started.

I thought Lulu did really well in this dance: for the first time she looked sharp and really on top of it. I thought the stairs wasted a lot of time and there was too much repetition of basically the same step.

But I was totally pissed off with Brendan for his rude, insulting comment that he'd put in enough 'content' for her.

She may not be brilliant but that was a snide remark worthy of Anton.

The samba is my favourite dance of them all and it wasnt the best Samba ever but it was Lulus best and I think it would be a shame for her to go out.

Hi musicangel!
I agree!
I also LOVED the red costumes. I did get worried when they went up the stairs that they were going to stay up there but the way the cameras worked it felt to me like they went up the stairs to get team support from their fellow competitors and also to get some 'party' atmosphere going on (which is part of the samba) and then they went back down with another burst of energy and love and warmth. I thought Lulu's fast samba movements were particulary good - the travelling ones weren't as hot but it IS the samba - yes, a notoriously hard dance - and this was a very memorable one for all the right reasons!

Especially the bit where she tripped up the stairs.

It was nice to see Lulu really 'got' the samba, and she obviously felt comfortable with it, but I would say the bit in bold is a bit excessive. She had very little technique beyond producing the steps in the right order, and she made quite a few mistakes. I think Brendan chose to waste the time on the stairs and use repetition of steps because that was the limit of her ability.

Re Brendan's comment on enough content, I really believe he didn't mean that how it came out! IMO he has been really sweet with Lulu, and remember back to their introduction, what a turnaround

Yep, right up there with Chelsee, Harry and Jason. She did not look like she was going to fall over ONCE , and her ability to repeat the very basic set of steps Brendan gave her was commendable. She rocked that almost-falling-up-the-stairs-bit which took about twenty seconds and in no way got her out of having do any more steps. Go Lulu!

Holly and Harry were miles better than Lulu, technique-wise - also, they've yet to attempt samba . Out of hold, she looked like she had little clue about where she should be facing and what direction she had to move. Even Audley is a better dancer than her.

All I saw were her and Brendan repeating the same steps over and over again. It was half a routine, repeated twice really, with a run up and down the stairs in the middle.

I liked the song choice though

The VW should be all IN HOLD!! it wasnt holly didnt complete or attempt one heel lead, hence her tecnique was out of the window! Dire

Harry did more messing about than lulu and yet people are having a go at her! she did the most work by her self kept the bounce action and timing.

have you ever danced? just because they fake it well doesnt mean they are good dancers

lulu bares all good and bad

She looked like one hot mess, and is quite lucky she didn't fall over. Props to Brendan for getting a decent samba out of.. her; but by anyone else's standards it was a farce. Each to their own but lordy, she's a bad dancer. I won't even venture into personality territory.

Holly's overall technique is miles above Lulu's and all of Harry's routine that was in hold was gorgeous.

Shes actually getting better was I the only one who felt she did a lot on her own and held her own in front of brendan keeping her own!

btw this is a postive thread or I started it as one!!

1. It's quite!

2. You may support Lulu, but you have to be objective enough to recognise who is more talented. Robbie is my favourite, but no way would I try and claim he is technically better than Harry, Chelsee, Jason (who I can't stand) or even Holly.

Fair enough, you enjoyed her dance, but Sid's right all she did was shuffle forward twice. It was the same last week with the rumba, Brendan's going with as little choreography as possible because Lulu's obviously struggling with remembering routines.

Then you may want to start it in the appreciation section next time.
