He does good stuff in his normal life and gave Strictly a real go,so good on him.”

I was sorry too I really wanted him to be great. I have a personal agenda here and wanted the evidence to prove that big men can dance. Sadly Ben hasn't provided me with the evidence.

I am slightly blaming Kristina because I think she makes up her mind fairly quickly about whether or not she has a contender on her hands. If she hasn't then she seems to rely on distractions and dancing for two. Had Ben been with someone like Erin I think we would have seen more from him in terms of real dancing and I would have my argument for a certain someone to learn to dance.

Hey ho - next year perhaps.

I am biased because of the whole loving a black guy in a white shirt thingy (and rooting for said man) but my simple favourite moment of Saturday was Patrick walking into the start of his dance. Wasn't sure whether to call that acting or dancing (your post helps me) but I found it moving in the same way that Mark's empty hands were moving when Iveta left him at the end of whatever that dance was (AS maybe, waltz? Dunce! ).

'dance isn't about how it looks but about how it feels'

I'm remembering that one.

(Of all the contestants, Patrick seems to me the best walker or the best being still-er. Mark at moments comes close. Of course, unlike you, I know sod all about it )”

I just read this in relation to writing not dancing but it made me think of you Pet M.

Prose is to walking as poetry is to dancing.

Makes sense to me. Thought you might like it.

Natalie Lowe would have given it a good shot too - I loved last year seeing Michael Vaughan go from zero to hero during Halloweon. He was never going to win but she really made him into the best dancer he could do - I've missed her this year.
