Sophie was Overmarked !!!
I like Sophie but that chacha was a bit overmarked imo. 8s
![]() I don't think that the Latin dances are her strongest suit (Abbey also falls into that category) . She also seems a bit reserved on the dancefloor and doesn't connect with the audience. This chacha was my least favorite dance from her . |

It seemed to me there were a lot of undeserved ❽s tonight.

I don't think Sophie's latin is any better than Abbey's and in fact I would go as far as to say that I think Abbey's is even better!
I don't get any feeling from Sophie's and much prefer her ballroom (and of course the wonderful Charleston) |

I think her position on the leader board was about right but that was her worse dance so far

Sophie just proved what I have been saying abut her all along - she's exquisite to look at but danced like she is a million miles away and on Mogadon.
No hip action, no fire, no expression, zero emotion. You can't just keep dancing like a beautiful shop window dummy and expect to beat competition like Natalie and Abbey. |

Yeah, I actually agreed with Len. While it was fine technically, there seemed to be no enjoyment in the dance.
"Reserved" is exactly the right word. |

I like Sophie but I have to agree with this, she looked unsure and tentative tonight. I know being cool is her 'thing' but it doesn't really work in the Cha Cha, I wanted to see her cheeky side. Agreed with what Len said. Not worth a 30 imo.

Sophie's not a Cha Cha kinda girl that's for sure! But would you really have had her lower than Fiona?
Wrong score, right position. |

she looked like she went wrong a few times tonight. either that or she was playing it so cool that she could barely be bothered to move...
![]() also, she seems to have really tiny feet, which can't help.. |

I agree with all these remarks. I love Sophie in ballroom (and her kooky Charleston), but she looked lost out there on the dance-floor. I'm no expert (under-statement) but it looked as if she went wrong, or at least forgot what she was supposed to do next, on more than one occasion. Her stop-start dancing wasn't on the same level as Patrick's, but there was a similarity, and I'm surprised the judges didn't pick up on it. A poor effort tonight from one of my favourites.

I really wanted to like Sophie but I'm so over her now. She approaches every dance in the same way and it's boring. Her samba was overmarked too.

I do like Sophie, but tonight she looked like she didn't know if she was coming or going. In the beginning, I really thought she'd forgotten the routine.

I had definite Victoria Pendleton flashbacks and she got a much harder time from the judges. Sophie was just as unsteady and lacking in performance as Victoria, but I guess Sophie remembered the routine.

She didn't do a lot wrong, apart from that one messy turn. But the dance certainly didn't suit her, and unfortunately it showed. I would have thought 7's all round would have been fair.
