The comments Bruno and Darcey made for Richard's Waltz were utter rubbish! Thank God Len put them to task! Absolutely ridiculous comments

Felt very sorry for Richard. I thought he put in a very solid peformance, only to have complete tosh thrown at him by Bruno and Darcey.

I think all ballroom is the height of camp. So much gurning, so many sequins and arch expressions ....

However, they were talking about personality not camp. The use of the last word was in jest!

Craig was just flirting with Richard. Tsk!

I did not understand Bruno's point at all. How was Richard supposed to camp up the waltz.

I really don't know what could be more camp than a waxy faced homosexual gentleman dancing an indifferent waltz to a Barbra Streisand torch song.

I agree - his dance was very sincere and he obviously wants to take the experience seriously. It annoyed me that there was the expectation for him to do camp comedy - luckily Erin won't go down this route.

i agree i thought darcey and bruno were too harsh - thank crunchie for len and craig

I thought that Richard danced a really nice waltz, and that Len and Craig have been good judges today.

The very best male dancers look manly and virile whilst forming great frames for the (we hope) delicate yet strong in move and attractiveness female

They did a fabulous classic waltz great choreography good footwork and top line. Great job for first dance,Bruno and Darcy's comments were totally ridiculous!

A tad undermarked with it - 6 would have been my mark

Maybe a pink rose would have been camper?

The out-of-hold sequences could have had more personality and perhaps been camped up. But the danger is of it being too camp and just ending up cheesey. I think Erin prob tried to avoid it in fear of it ending up looking ridiculous. So I can see both what they meant by adding personality to it but also thinking they overly criticised it.

Perhaps they ment that he should have done a "Russel Grant".

yikes- no thanks - the cannons and the bucking broncos stretched credibility last year for me

Maybe it was a "Yellow Rose Of Texas" reference. Nothing says "camp" like Frontier Chic. Maybe if he'd been wearing a stetson then Darcey and Bruno would have "got it".

Thank Crunchie Erin doesn't go down that road - she is a purist and that is why I love her ballroom
