Ughhhh I have so much to say about some of those costumes.

Wtf is Aljaz wearing ????? Dreadful!!!
And is Abbey doing a ballroom routine ???
I know as soon as I saw Aljaz's top, I thought oh no, not a good look. Think they may have themed it to fit the song.

Abbey and Aljaz's costumes music and everything seem to be going for a very different kind of paso and it's a dance that might not naturally suit her anyway. (She looked lovely in training but I mean the attack of the dance isn't obviously Abbey.) Could be a good idea to be very different after Susanna or could be a bit risky?

Anya looks like she was attacked with a hedge trimmer or how I rip up a tissue if I'm bored. I think their dance looked great in training but I don't like the look of her costume.

Natalie looks fantastic, Mark and Iveta look really sweet, and mostly people look good. I will admit that I had a slight sinking-heart feeling at Brendan in the rumba picture (just don't like the rumba) and at Ben's gym equipment, but hopefully they'll work on the night.

The pictures are up in the gallery now in this order:

Susanna - Patrick - Abbey - Ben - Sophie - Mark - Natalie - Ashley

I think this is more likely to be the running order (though Patrick was on second last week and Natalie second last)
The pictures in the gallery are usually in reverse order (so if it's accurate then Susanna who's the first picture is closing the show, etc)

True Karma. I think that's what Vicki said thursday.

I looked at the pictures first, came back to say how gorgeous the dresses were and then read this thread

I think Abbey's is OK for Paso. Strong colour and they have been given a modern look for a modern song.

Brendan has succeed Jason as the sniffer of hair, but he and Sophie look good. As do Natalie and Artem.

The only one I am not sure of is Ola's. The upper body is lovely but someone described the skirt as looking 'unfinished' when we had wardrobe previewed earlier in the week and seeing the rehearsal picture I can see what they mean. Hope it looks better on the live show.




Disappears a bit (well, a lot) every week. Bet he is feeling great
On second look it does appear odd. Let's see if it works on the dance.

I reckon Brendan isn't sniffing at all, he put in the move so he could say 'NOW MOVE!'.

I may be alone buy I love Anya's dress. Hope it works for the dance and yes, Mark looks reduced, in a good way.

Yes, it does seem a bit more likely. Especially with Ashley going last.

If this is correct, then Patrick and Abbey got a bit shafted (they are positioned in the kind of slots that Fiona used to have).

Shame that nobody has thought of doing a doctor/companion routine (mind you, out of the pro´s probably only Kevin knows who the doctor is anyway).

I remember almost everyone screaming 'ugh' when the rehearsal pics of Ashley and Ola's Jive went up - he was filmed in an animal print shirt. Needless to say, on the night, the shirt was absent, so if you scream loud enough...

I quite like the vest and wouldn't mind seeing it on the live show, even if it does look like Aljaz's own top still being worn while he waits for Wardrobe to adjust his Paso outfit. The braces can go though

And no you are not alone. I love Anya's (lift-safe?) dress.

I doubt they'd open with a Waltz though

Abbey has a kind of soft song twinned with a cool outfit that might work more for a Foxtrot or Waltz - cool colours don't really work for the Paso. Aljaz's top just looks messy - when Vicky was talking about using all sorts of colours I didn't quite have that in mind.

Anya's looks a bit messy for a VW. But maybe it'll look better when they're moving. I'm reserving judgment on S&B's outfits for that reason too.

The rest mostly look good, though.

No lifts in their dance. Or there shouldn't be

That dress is so gorgeous though (probably my 2nd favorite dress she wore so far this serie) and the colour is stunning but its not really a " typical paso dress " and that's my problem with it but since they are going for a " modern paso " maybe its appropriate ?

Just in terms of still body shapes, Natalie, Abbey and Sophie all look very elegant.

What about self-assisted, or a jump?

I see black shirt, tie and jacket

ETA: My eyes are known to be unreliable!

Costumes looking pretty good again, I think, except..

Alijaz's top

Sophie : Although I like the dress, I hope we can see the movement properly under there!

Anya : looks a bit tattered, but on the bright side she is wearing an arm hankie!

Seriously, why is this such an issue for people? :yawn::yawn:

He's not going for a job interview.

It's a dance costume inspired by a 1920's strongman - like Matt Baker wore several series ago.

Why not criticise ALL the female dancers too for their revealing costumes, and ask them to wear some dowdy, thick, ankle length smock.

Petty.
