Just wanted to say the lifts and lines stunning, swivels and kicks brilliant
undermarked Brendan was right.. Everyone besides Patrick overmarked how they categorise abbys Charleston with sophies just stupid

Well done Brendan amazing routine

Loved the dancing, loved the choreography.

Reminded me a little of Mark (can't spell his surname) and Karen.


I thought that Sophie danced the Argentine Tango exactly how the judges had previously said that it should be danced.

With passion staccato and lifts galore totally agree

I loved the routine, the choreography was first rate, but Sophie is just so laid back, I agree with the judges she needs to put more attack into her dancing. For me she comes across as rather cold and indifferent. [Sorry Sophie fans].

Really I get nothing from.abby, Natalie or Susannah

I loved it, the choreography was brilliant as the judges all said and I thought Sophie danced it beautifully. She puts her own character into her dances which I think works well with the AT.

It was my favourite dance of the night - full of tricky lifts and complex steps. I bloody loved it, so well done Sophie!

As for the marks, I thought a 9 or two would've been fairer, but that's just me...

I thought it was poor, Sophie is just not up to it and I have given up hope of her getting any better. She is slightly better in ballroom but even then nothing to write home about.

Good grief How can you put THAT AT and Mark and Karen's in the same sentence? Completely different ball park by a huge margin! Yes good choreography from Brendan but not well executed in my opinion. She tries hard, it just does not come across sorry to say.

Agree with all this Brendan's choreography was just amazing & the lifts brilliant.Sophie did really well & I jusy hope they're safe tonight.

I loved the routine, but there was zero passion from Sophie. The Staccato bits were awesome, but the rest of her work left me slightly cold. Still a great dance.

Very disappointing performance from Brendan and Sophie.

I think back to Kara and Artem's AT and then it becomes glaringly obvious for me where SEB is lacking - when she tries to smoulder there is nothing in her face. No tension, no passion. It felt massively flat to me. I think I am like a lot of people in that I really WANTED her to be good but sitting here and willing that to be the case doesn't make it so....... Picard moment......

You can't, you're right ABBEYS DANCE WAS WAY SUPERIOR ...open your eyes Abbeys a grafter, Sophie just isn't...... Abbey danced her Charleston almost entirely on her own, Sophie needed Brendan as her crutch, and still she looked poor......!

That has to be the most ridiculous statement of the night.

Sorry I didn't get it.

Argentine Tango is supposed to be a vertical expression of a horizontal desire.

Sorry all I got from Sophie was cool and indifference. She almost looked like she was mentally counting in her mind. Also Brendan still doesn't "get" AT does he?

Sorry felt it was a safe / dispassionate AT and it was overmarked.

Eh that's because the Argentine Tango is mainly danced in hold whilst the Charleston is the opposite...

Edit: mistake

She was like a remote controlled doll ........... no heart, no soul.

No that's yours ......... I'm entitled to my opinion, sounds like you went to the Sophie Ellis Bexter school of superiority.!

What AT is danced mainly out of hold........you need to put your glass of wine down mate.......!

nicely said Becky and happily thankful for the ignore button

Don't tell me, another Dave- voter!

I don't write home about Sophie - I am at home, watching her with great delight. Brendan has had some awful partners - (Lulu, anyone?) or awfully bad luck (Kelly) so very nice to see him with some material he can work with. His choreography streets ahead of what's been laughingly called an "Argentine" in previous series.

No way that was an AT. Now Karen and Ramps , that was an AT.

I write a positive thread and it get taken over by people who may not know dance techniques if fell over it... going back

WELL DONE SOPHIE AND BRENDAN

Sorry, I made a mistake. But that still doesn't mean your comment about Sophie was correct. The AT is mainly in hold so she's obviously going to be holding on to him.
