She was no better than week 1 tonight.

She has absolutely no rhythm. I think even Brendan has had enough now.

It was really, really bad. I felt so sorry for her though.

She wasn't good
She always looks awkward dancing
I just hope she goes home this week

i felt quite sorry for her tonight, i think she is starting to feel uncomfortable about being voted through, but in reality michael and lisa are at least as weak as she is...

No hip movement cleverly disguised by Brendan.

He's waiting for a baby, let the poor lad go.

Agree, I think her lack of feel for the music is her biggest problem, it is the dancing equivalent of someone tone deaf trying to sing.

It kinda went downhill as soon as she moved from the stairs and barged into Brendan - I get what Bruno was saying and i'm sure she can do it, but her whole approach to this show has been limp.

I am a bit surprised by this.

I don't feel it was great but she ought to have been some credit for being better.

The weird one for me was Lisa I didn't think she was that bad and I thought Louis ought to have been given some credit for doing a good dance technically.

Michael is a lot better at the ballroom herein lies the rub - great at ballroom not great at latin.

I groaned and laughed at that, she's a real bull in a china shop is our Victoria

Thanks, I was wondering.... It was pretty dire.

She seems to have a defeatist attitude before the music even starts. I don't think she can feel the music at all.

It wasn't that great a dance, what I don't get is a lot of the problem is with her inability (and it also goes to some extent for Louis and Michael) to 'act' which the other performers can often cover up a lack of content with their acting skills. So why don't they try and get the sports people some basic performance training? The likes of Dani, Lisa etc are all used to getting into character for a performance, the sports people are not.

Her dances always have plenty of content and on the plus side the lifts were good as were the intricate arm stuff, she's just not able to let go.

What I will say is if she survives tonight I would not be surprised to see her get another Latin dance next week.

She was literally going through the motions; there was no conviction in her dancing. Salsa is a social dance with a party vibe. Fern's salsa wasn't the best but she captured the spirit of the dance. We know Victoria isn't a natural performer but for those 90 seconds she needed to act/fake it. That's the key to all these dances; you have to enliven the character of the dance. No characterization and connection to the song equals a series of steps and background music.

Fern's was brilliant in comparison and she went home

And the same can be said of Louis and Michael.

Victoria and Brendan are both probably praying to be voted off. It's becoming excruciating.

Even Brendan seemed defeated tonight.

It's possible that the training to become a cyclist is mechanical and repetitive, and this is how Victoria moves. It seems somewhat awkward.

As he's about to become a Dad, Brendan will not mind at all if he's voted out, I think he's exasperated with Victoria. She's so highly strung - the giggling and crying are disturbing to watch. Time for her to go definitely.

You're right and I agree. It's a 'Victoria thread' so I was referring to her performance specifically.
