Thanks for the links Lili, particularly Tris - tell is how is is - 'no bleedin spay tan'

Shawn's trio was more Simba than a Samba, expected the cast of Lion King to appear. What's the obsession with flat shoes, bare feet and bare chests, it's been done to death. I'm getting bored of it, from all of them - well if Tristian went bare chested I may change my tune



. Hardly saw any Samba in the routine. Her VW was lovely but seems the way of things not enough in hold.
Apolo's trio, he kept up quite well with Sasha, think towards the end he ran out of steam a little and his kicks and flicks lost their sharpness. Not keen of the Grease Lighting selection or Karina's outfit. Know she has a bad neck and knee so perhaps that's why she wore flatties too. Thought the Tango wasn't as sharp as it could be and the footwork not as good as it could be, but I did enjoy the routine. Lol Apolo reckons if he stays in next week, he is getting his ice rink built!!!
Gilles looked a bit oily in the threesome, me me me again. Shirley Ballas, said, in his rhumba he was selfish and self absorbed so no change there then. Think he is living his fantasy again this time with 2 blonde. His and Emitt's routine looked similar in parts. The QS he kept up with Peta, but he lacks finesse with his footwork and posture, feel like he learns the routines, but doesn't polish them.
Kirstie as an angel, think they took inspiration from Katherine Jenkins', live show, performing Evanescence, Bring Me To Life, where she morphed into butterfly wings and had all the dancers in black feathers looked familiar. Kirstie struggled to keep up with Maks and Tristan, lucky woman. Kept my eyes on Tristan so I didn't mind this routine

.
Kelly's Jive okish not her best dance, but thought she did well in VW, a lot better. Amazed CA didn't comment about Kelly's feet coming off the ground, still with all the smoke probably couldn't see.
Emitt's Salsa, he throws himself into it, a bit Dad dancing in parts, squirms, but preferred it to Gille's routine. His footwork and VW had improved a little and his posture was a bit better than past dances, but still not as good as it should be at this stage of the competition.
Melissa's a really good dancer, she outdanced Tony at the start of their QS think he lost it slightly. She did a good job with the Paso, not keen on her 'hu hu hu' bit, but thought her threesome did a good routine. For all that, I am not engaged with her dancing and I don't know why.
