I'm not really bothered about chemistry to be honest, you either have it with someone or you don't, so it's just pot-look.

So no reason to start the thread this week?

It's crucial. Maybe that's why all their dances have been missing something, just a thought.

Well I think they have great chemistry and I have not found anything lacking in their dances so far....I dont know why everyone expects Natalie to have the same chemistry with Artem that he had with KaraSurely its obvious where their special chemistry came from.

100% agree with you, she really gets on my nerves, she just comes across as if she is above the rest of celebs, I feel she looks down her nose on everyone.

Really? I don't see that at all.

Boring - another week of Natalie bashing. Get rid of this thread for good.

Nah, the judges have been giving them 10s, there is nothing missing.

Nat only gets bashed on days with a y in it so it is not that bad.

Hamela Stephenson and Lisa Snowdon both regularly received tens. Thus endeth any discussion about the judges' credibility, particularly regarding the ten paddle.

It's the first time this series the judges have nearly got it right, Natalie at the top and the rest hanging on.

^^Agree. But Susanna was better in her Paso, and the week Abbey did Foxtrot she was the best.

So are your dreary, repetitive posts constantly knocking Natalie.

People see what they want to see. I was disappointed by the tango, not because of Natalie's performance or because of Artem's choreography but because the music utterly ruined any element of style or entertainment. I was too busy thinking "wtf" about the music to get any sort of pleasure from the dance.

When she smiles she is "smug" and when she shows emotion it is "fake", whatever she does will never satisfy some of you.

You really are full of crap!

I'd read about the awful music yesterday but for me, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Abbey's paso music was worse. But both couples did well despite the music.

The music was horrible for pretty much everyone tonight. The trouble is that a Tango requires the light and shade of different tempos to provide the contrast between the fast staccato moments and the beautiful lyrical in between ones to have any sort of impact. Natalie and Artem's music was just one monotonous dragging tempo which, while it might have had the right beat, simply didn't give any sort of musical phrasing to work to.
Artem's choreography is superb and Natalie is technically gifted and usually able to perform beautifully but this was just flat for me.

I disagree about the Paso, Susanna was just flashing her frock most of the time but I didn't see Abbey's foxtrot so I can't comment on that.

It's a shame that the pros have rubbish music imposed on them by the producers, and have to make the best they can of it.

In your earlier post you were stating that Natalie gets tens so she's the best.. Susanna matched Natalie's score last week and earned her first memorable dance. One of the best Pasos IMO. Natalie is consistent across all genres but lacking in impact.

Abbey's FT was her best dance, out of hold she's a mess.

there was a distinct lack of drama tonight - if only they'd saved a bit for the tango. there might have been a smidgeon, but it was swallowed whole by the lousy music.

Do you honestly believe that Susanna's Paso deserved a 10?
The judges have been giving the rest inflated scores otherwise Natalie would just look too good for them. When Natalie gets a 10, it is deserved.

Yes, Susanna's Paso Doble deserved the 10s it received.

Why are you being so rude ??

The poster is entitled to their opinion in the same way you're entitled to yours about other celebs/pros - just because you don;'t agree there is no need to be unpleasant to them.
