I don't understand the so-called backlash. I think for the vast majority of the Great British Public they will either take to her or not. Last year I really could never warm to Louis Smith, for much the same reasons people keep pointing out about Natalie. I thought his gymnastic experience gave him an unfair advantage. Of course the truth is that all the celebrities use whatever skills they have acquired in their dancing. Natalie had some training years ago, she didn't really forget it it and she uses it. Susanna uses her ability to connect with people, and she really has that ability. But it's anyone's guess who is going to win at this stage. I'll go further, I think it's really up to the last dance for a lot of people. The showdance all to often is the clincher, it has been in a good few of the series. I thought Colin Jackson couldn't lose, boy was I wrong.

I thought Susanna's Paso was a WOW dance.
There are a few couples whose Blackpool routines are their best so if they do get asked to perform their best dance again this year, how easy is it to make the leap? I'm trying to think of finalists who have done it before - either from Blackpool or Wembley - for a clue but brain is addled by a day of making banana rice pudding and having it thrown at me!

The dance was WOW but it was all about Kevin, I didn't see anything spectacular from Susanna.

Given that the paso is Susanna's highest scorer so far, how easy do you think it is to translate those Blackpool dances to the Elstree floor for the final?

Yes! Thank you. That worked well without the extra big floor (though I'll always be a mega fan of Chris and Ola's Charleston so I always end up judging all of the routines by that standard!). And they're allowed to change the dances slightly, I think? Will be really interesting to see how they translate.

Possibly, not sure is honest answer. I was just trying to think of how they would adjust the Blackpool quicksteps or the paso from the huge arena to the smaller one. Would be really interesting to see. |

This is where we disagree - I think Susanna's waltz and paso were both 'wow' dances. Both stirring, well sold performances I felt caught up with. Sophie's Charlston and Patrick's AS both the same. But no one is consistently charismatic.
