Was Brendan right? Or are the judges being fair? |

I did not like it. I did not like a lot this evening tbh. Really some funny music choices, it makes me wonder why would anybody dance like that to such a music.

Why should they have any 'flame of desire' They're both married .Being married isn't an excuse either; they're not required to feel passion for each other, just to convey passion for each other. |

If Brendan wants to help perhaps he should advise Sophie's husband to disappear for the next few weeks. It doesn't take a great deal of guesswork to suggest his presence/input is the main reason why she has made little or no progress since the Charleston. Don't know why he rocked up at the training session in the first place. It appears Brendan is effectively operating with one hand tied behind his back.

Rachel and Vincent married it, as did Cherie and James, Kara and Artem, Colin and Erin and even Pamela and James.
Being married isn't an excuse either; they're not required to feel passion for each other, just to convey passion for each other. What is the best way to convey passion when you don't feel any ? |

We thought it was a great rumba. Intimate and grown up.
Judges have their favourites and Sophie isn't one of them. Brendon is fitting his choreography to Sophie's personality and it works well. Just doesn't fit the stereotypes that the judges want. Hope the great British public put things right. |

I think they explained what they were aiming for and they succeeded. I don't want filthy, sordid dances either. I also think Sophie's enjoyment of the dance shone through.
It was one of the best rumbas I've seen. Amazed Darcey didn't appreciate it. Not surprised at Bruno and Craig. They just want lascivious writhing. I bunged Sophie the bulk of my votes. First time. |

i liked the dance, she looked lovely, it was demure and restrained, but actually - and for once - relatively convincing, and it was the only music i liked tonight.
but spoiled totally by brendan mouthing off and sophie;'s ridiculous comments about some sort of talibanesque levels of modesty and appropriateness as required by her puny husband. |

I'm glad I'm not the only person who sees this as the issue. I think Sophie's comment that it was the sort of rumba her husband was happy with was very telling.

I think the correct music tells the celebs what the feel of the dance is and the rhythms that the moves are meant to work with.
Sometimes I think the producers choices are so unhelpful that the celebs would do better with just a drummer playing them the basic rhythm of the dance. There was no one single bar of rhumba rhythm tonight. Why? |

I loved the whole dance, it was balletic and classy (and I love the more "raunchy" style, too!) Yes, there wasn't the passionate connection that we've seen in some of the best rumba in he past, but to my mind, that wasn't what this dance needed. It was elegant and stylish and beautifully danced and I don't think any of the judges gave credit for what Sophie achieved or how she managed the choreography. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but it is beginning to look as if this pair are definitely not in the judges popularity zone which is quite, quite wrong.
As for Brendan speaking out - well, we've all seen him throw a wobbly at the wrong time and over the wrong thing, but this time, I thought his comments were restrained and intelligent and certainly not "throwing a tantrum". |

I didn't see any chemistry. She never looks into his eyes with any intent. She is scared of her husbands reaction I think.
maybe she is just very loyal to her husband and doesnt want to upset him or make him feel uncomfortable

He was right in that the rumba doesn't have to be raunchy at all, it's a dance of passion and that isn't always about sex. But I also think the judges were right to say they felt a lack of connection between the couple.

I agree with this so much and can't really add any more. I'm sick of the judges being biased against this fantastic couple!!

she's just too conservative for my liking but i thought it was her best dance since the charleston.

We want to see the emotion, and we don't want the dances crippled by spouse's jealousy. I wouldn't want my husband to dance with these gorgeous creatures, to be very honest. Its a difficult situation for these people. |

I think she is one of the few that is consistently scored about right. I love Sophie but she is not that good of a dancer, she has the most gorgeous lines and is very elegant, but technically she is not a good dancer nor she performs well.
However, Brendan is choreographing really we'll or her, and the music and costume are very harmonious and fitting with her style. All that hides away a multitude of sins when she is dancing. The effect is very pretty, the dance details not so much. I thought the dance was beautiful, I loved it, but I can see the points of the judges and agree with their scoring. |
