I'm not a fan of Jason, but I loved his AT tonight. My favourite dance of the night.
Now THAT was worth a 40!!!!

Well I was wowed by Chelsee's paso too, I just prefered Jasons a smidgeon more because of the passion and drama.
Even though Jason is my favourite I acknowledge that Chelsee is the better dancer overall.....without a doubt, she is a natural.Harry does nothing for me at all, he is so overated, he lacks any connection to his partner and has only one bland expression all the way through. Realy dont understand the praise he gets tbh.

Then don't give him a move that ugly.
Just like Artem shouldn't have given Holly that ugly cartwheel.

That is exactly what I thought it was!
And I'm an AT dancer. I have never seen any tangueros doing that. Ever!

Well, that's us well and truly told.

Agree
Kristina was fantastic though
I don't think i've ever seen a pro dancer put everything on the line like that before - Jason did well to go with it but Kristina just blew me away.
Brilliant performance, and probably enough to get them into the final

Each to their own , I didnt find it ugly in any sense of the word, no matter how many times you say it, it will still be just an opinion......... which as we know is subjective.
I am certainly no expert on the technicalities of the AT, but I loved that dance - whatever it was. It had passion, intensity and caught the mood of the music brilliantly. I've not been blown away by Jason's dancing since the first few weeks, but he redeemed himself tonight* and, on that performance alone, I think he deserves to be in the final.
*until he opened his mouth, but I've become accustomed to that and I'm trying to remember that it's about the dancing, not about how boring he might be in real life.

This. Quoted for truth.
Neither Jason's nor Chelsee's dance tonight was worth 40 points when you think how stingy the judges were last year with both Kara and Matt, who's dancing was on a different planet to this year's crop.

No, not haters, just people who have a different opinion to you.

I rather suspect that was the idea.

How about 'shambolic'? 'Messy'? 'Boring'? 'Wet'? Or preferably all four.

agree with you on that.
Her AT was HOT! and her Charleston while not her strongest dance was better than Jasons Samba imo
Kristina was great though

Agree with this.
Just rewatching the show, after Craig complained about Harry's head placement he said something about it probable just being a personal choice. Really gutted he didn't give Harry that extra 10 but then it also means Harry hasn't peaked yet and still has something (other than the crown) to work towards. I can see (if he's still there next week) Harry getting his first 10 in his last dance (given nothing goes wrong) to leave him on a high and with the best chance of winning the show.

I thought Harry had already had loads of tens, far more than deserved imo.

Have to agree with this

I would put this a close second to Harry's AT, the 1 leg spins and use of the chair was outstanding. Have to agree about Jason's samba but Holly's Charleston was not much better.

Would have to agree with this but to paraphrase Sir Bruce... Higher, Higher.
Jason AT=40, Mark AT=60

A pair well matched absolutely desperate to win.
The other contestants show that they want to win but it does not come across in such a desperate way which makes them more likeable.”

They remind me of James and Pamela only more irritating.
No. He sniffed her hair at the beginning and it was downhill from then on. He struck a few poses, walked abaht menacingly and Xtina danced around him - lots. No wonder she had a wardrobe malfunction. Good distraction choreography.
