Wow no mention of Alesha [as a contestant]?

Best partnership ever and during the golden years of the show when we had proper dances with content etc.

If I had to pick one moment it would have to be Mark and Karen's Argentine Tango. Even now when I watch it back for the umpteenth time my eyes are still fixed to the screen.

Loved it - what made it so special as many appear to agree?

His total transformation - first AT done by celeb - music or just one of those routines when everything just came together at once?

I don't think it is my stand out moment, but I adored everything about this waltz by Jodie and Ian. The dress, the song, Ian's beautiful choreography... sigh.

I think it was just one of those perfect I-love-it-when-a-plan-comes-together moments. The music, the choreography, the costumes, the chemistry - they just all combined to make soemthing that was greater than the sum of its parts. Not that I take any of this dancing malarkey too seriously or anything....

Couldn't agree more. I can't deal with the shade Alesha gets as a contestant on this forum is it because she was a judge and some people were not happy about that?

Scott and Natalie's jive

Tom and Camilla's showdance

Alesha and Matt's cha cha cha

All 3 of those had me standing up!

Bacofoil, though...definitely the stand-out-for-all-the-wrong-reasons dance for me.

Matt & Aliona's American Smooth. The judges hated it, I loved it. (So did Arlene, which just totally reinforced for me that they shouldn't have replaced her with Alesha)

Louis and Flavia's Showdance. Again divided opinion, but I loved it - I don't think I've ever watched a dance so may times on playback!!

Kara and Artem's American Smooth at Blackpool. Choreography on a totally different level for this show.

Louis and Flavia's show dance.

Lisa & Brendan's bacofoil show dance, and Colin & Erin's puppetgate horror. For the lols.

Karen and Mark's Argentine Tango. It gave me goose bumps and made me cry. I was desperate for him to win. It is the only occasion when I really, really cared and voted copiously.
They had never scored a 10 and Karen at that stage had never done an AT before.

The dance was a winner (excellent 'alternative' track, well choreographed, recognisably an AT, understated, great outfits - they ticked all the boxes) and I was certain then they had it in the bag and then Karen's reaction. Blimey I am getting misty eyed just thinking about it.
