Just wanted to say it was an amazing routine and beautifully danced she had a lot more control technical aspects, balance, core, brushing past, and judges missed it all, the rumba is not about sex its about intimacy, connection...just as someone else said they allready pre marked Sophie..

Well said Brendan

Totally agree. I think the judges and the audience were going to go to blows.

I totally agree. How could Darcy give that beautiful dance the same score as Marks, and I like Mark.

The judges definitely seem to have it in for Sophie the last few weeks. It doesn't matter what she dances. Some couples just have to turn up to get high marks.

Hope people vote

Loved that rhumba and totally agree with Brendan. will get my online votes this week

I wanted to like it, but it didn't flow for me. It lacked hip action and she was smiling throughout.

Loved it. She got 3 of my 5 votes tonight.

Sophie was beautiful.

7 of my 10 votes tonight. I do wonder if it would help giving Sophie an acting coach (overall, not in reference to tonight)

Don't know much abou the technicalities but I thought it was a beautiful dance. My favourite of the evening.

I really loved it too. Thought it was gorgeous.

It was a beautiful dance. It really does seem as if the judges are refusing to see how good Sophie is and this week this showed more than ever before.
What the hell does she have to do to get fair marks?

I loved it , thought it was just lovely .Simple and classy .

I thought the dance was average, but the dress! That dress was the sexiest dress ever. When will women learn that a little mystique is way sexier than showing all the skin that is allowed in law?

It was a very average rumba, hardly any hip action.

Sophie is the most expressive and musical of the ladies left IMO. I'd rather watch her dance something not technically perfect that has some feeling to it than a dullfest that Abbey serves up.

I loved it, it looked beautiful and sensuous - in a romantic way. I think the judges were eating bitter pills tonight

No hip action but i thought it was heart felt and charming. I enjoyed it way more than Abbey and Natalie who were so highly marked. And way more than many other rumbas of the past.

Loved it,beautiful dance

Neither do I or 90% of the viewers I would guess and I thought it was lovely to watch.

I loved it too.. thought it had class and made me feel relaxed... in fact I think I enjoyed it the most tonight.

Yeah - like that description

It was mesmerising. Brendan's choreography was fab as ever.
The comments Sophie gets from the judges makes me think they are a little resentful of her.
Maybe she has offended them backstage or something.

it was pretty to look at and Sophie looked lovelly but with hardly any rumba action

weird marking and makes you want to defy the judges lol
