To me their Viennese waltz in training looks stunning. What marks do people think it will get? I feel it has the potential to be Natalie's best dance as I think it suits her ability to create beautiful shapes and I also thing Artem choreographs best for the vw and rumba.

I think we may get our first ten from at least Darcey. But Craig always seems reluctant to give out a ten early on

I think it might get 10s from any or all the judges except Len - who will no doubt have a freak out at the bits out of hold.

I can see Len having one of his tantrums and giving it an 7/8 if there is too much out of hold. If not, it will get 39. Craig always finds *something* that prevents a 10.

I see what you mean about Len, but didn't he mark Artem's vw with Kara high last time? I think there will be enough content. I can't wait for the spins out of hold, Natalie has such great balance and core strength!

I think the 10 paddles will be out tonight

He gave Kara's VW a 10, but he gave her VW-style a 6 because there was a lack of content in hold iirc

Kara & Artems VW was stunning

I'm going for a 9 from Craig, 2 10s from Darcey and Bruno and 7 from grumpy old has been.

I agree Jan2555! I am so excited to see what Artem has come up with tonight. As the show goes on I am more and more excited to see Artem's choreography.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the dress. I haven't loved every outfit on Natalie so far

I dont think Natalie will be the only one with 10s.

Can see Abbey picking up one or two also.

I hope she does not get 10's as it will give some an excuse to have a dig at her.

Well if it deserves it then I hope they get it. If the overall performance warrants it then why not. I don't think the judges should have to udnermark or overmark anyone to either keep the temper of the audience down or over aggrivate/excite them. They should just mark on the dance, regardless of the public opinion, and regardless of the so called journey or progress (or backward spiral) of a couples efforts).

I can def see Abbey picking up 9s if she doesn't do a nervy dance, as she, like Nat looked good in training (though of course we only get to see snippets). If she suprises, which she'd have to, then possibly a 10 from, what is turning out to be a generally generous scoring panel this series, wouldn't be unexpected.

If she gets a perfect score, then we'll know she won't win. No winner has received a perfect score before the final.

I think this will be one of their best and can definitely see 10's coming if it is. This is one of the dances I'm really looking forward to tonight.

hope Len does hold out - no doubt Bruno and Darcy will but as pointed out in the week she isn't crossing right and so that warrants 9 ) if she masters the right feet then it will be all 10's

Well predicted

considering she only did a few bars of actually Viennese waltz I thought the 10's were generous

Beautiful - yes, absolutely
A Viennese waltz - no, more like an American smooth, too much out of hold, I totally agreed with Len on this one

Should've got 10s for the rumba. That was flawless.

And I completely agree too It was very enjoyable to watch but it wasn't a VW.

agree with that, it was amazing

I found it odd that Natalie was told she was magic when she hardly produced any Viennese Waltz in her routine and then Mark was told he didn't do enough Paso in his routine

Me too. I hate the VW it's so repetitive but Artem's VWs are exquisite, I don't care how much it has in hold I get carried away with the beauty of it all and the story he usually produces in a VW. Utterly, utterly mesmerising.

Absolutely gorgeous dance.

I agree !
