Very good idea
1-Alex and James.I did better than I thought she would.She managed to capture the essence of the jive but I think that her kicks were not sharp enough 7.
2-Robbie and Ola. I think his posture was a litttle bit off at times and I think he did an ok job with the lifts but it was still a lovely routine 7
3-Audley and Nat. This dance didnt really suit him.A dance full of personality but with little technique 5
4-Jason and Kristina.I was a little bit disappointed because the VW is not really that hard and I thought this should be a piece of cake for him but it really wasnt.I still dont like his facial expressions when he dances(very off-putting I think).I love their songs choice so its an 8 for me.
5-Harry and Aliona tango. He managed to look the part and Good choreography and I think it was time for him to top the leaderboard 9.
6-Chelsee and Pasha beautfiful routine and even more beautiful on second viewing.Pasha is a very good choreographer.Foxtrot is not only the hardest ballroom dances but it can be also very boring.Their routine was entertaining 9
7-Anita and Robin. She did really well but the faces that she pulls when she dances 8
8-Holly and Artem very good partnership ok dance. 7
9-Russell and Flavia Just a joy to watch 6

1-Alex and James.- looked like she was kicking a football but energetic nevertheless - 7
2-Robbie and Ola - he is a bit too needy but the overall effect was good - 7
3-Audley and Nat. if only you could mark for personality - a generous 6
4-Jason and Kristina.I did like this but thought the choreography was a bit messy but Jason's footwork was good -9
5-Harry and Aliona tango. Technically excellent but too self contained - did not connect with Aliona 9.
6-Chelsee and Pasha - fantastic almost balletic arms - did not really notice her footwork 9
7-Anita and Robin. Very atmospeheric, lacked some sharpness but still good 8
8-Holly and Brendan - bit messy at times those long legs got tangled up a bit. 7
9-Russell and Flavia not as good as his foxtrot - must not get too self obsessed but massively enjoyable - score irrelevant

Alex & James : Bad song, bad concept, but looked like they were enjoying themselves. 6

Robbie & Ola : Is it allowed for a couple to do the same dance every week? 5

Audley & Natalie : Natalie's given up. 4

Harry & Aliona : I liked it, cool and sharp and great visual appeal. 9

Jason & Kristina : Waaaaay to manic, relax Kristina. 7

Chelsee & Pasha : She is sweet but a bit wobbly and the ending was just bizarre. 8

Anita & Robin : Messy, but liked the atmosphere. 8

Holly & Brendan : Bring back Artem so that something looks animated in her dances. 7

Russell & Flavia : Well, who cares? Any out of 3,4,5,6,7

Great idea for a thread SCD-O!

1. Alex & James: Much better than I expected because Alex kept her energy up and if she'd pointed her toes I'd have really loved it! (Score: 7)

2. Robbie & Ola: Sadly his performances are so forgettable now and I so wanted to be thrilled by his AS. (Score: 6)

3. Audley & Natalie: Lots of CCC steps, but no bounce which could be down to his bad knee, but I don't think it is. (Score: 4)

4. Harry & Aliona: Fabulous choreography, costumes and music with some great moments for Harry (Score: 7)

5. Jason & Kristina: Loved Kristina's choreography and the way the speed of the dancing matched the intensity of the story telling (Score: 9)

6. Chelsee & Pasha: My favourites pulled another fab routine out of the bag, but I could have done without the 'between-the-legs' at the end! (Score: 8)

7. Anita & Robin: What a performance and with loads of content, but I still hate that style of flippin' hat! (Score: 8)

8. Holly & Brendan: I just knew they would look great together and as much as I feel sorry for Artem, I hope they carry on dancing together! (Score: 7)

9. Russell & Flavia: Can someone please point out where the AS was in their AS? (Score: 3)

1. Alex and James: She was in time with James, but her kicks and flicks looked very ugly (no improvement on the training footage) - 5

2. Robbie and Ola: The choreography from Ola makes his ballroomdances look all the same (and the lifts were pretty dodgy, as he was shuffling his feet) - 6

3. Audley and Natalie: Perhaps Cher´s Walking in Memphis would have been a better song? - 3

4. Harry and Aliona: It was very nice, but I didn´t really believe that Harry was in charge of the dance - 7

5. Jason and Kristina: Boring. - 7

6. Chelsee and Pasha: Very good, the slide was a bit weird, but great improvement on her footwork (just compare it with her waltz if you don´t believe me) - 8

7. Anita and Robin: Quite good - 7

8. Holly and Brendan: It was lacking something to me - 6

9. Russell and Flavia: Anyone in for some CAMPing? - 3
