Sophie's disappointing tango
She's my fav yet her tango was not good. I'm very disappointed. I now think Abbey will win.
Sophie needs to pull it out the bag next week.

Unlike the judges, I really enjoyed both the tangos this week!

I enjoyed it. The judges have commented several times this series on Brendans choreography and I think that's an indication that he's enjoying the partnership and finding Sophie an inspiration.

I really enjoyed it and choreography was great. She was a bit wobbly but she still gave a performance and brendan was unreal.

I thought the mannequin was inspired and suited the emotional detachment that Sophie brings to each dance. It is only a shame that she couldn't keep that stability of frame throughout.

Playing an aloof mannequin was exactly the part for Sophie and at least for stretches it came off well.

Choreography was great, the execution could have been better.

I quite enjoyed it even though it wasn't anywhere close to perfect and there wasn't really enough difference in tone for me. She got the mannequin impersonation down pat and I liked the story they were telling.
But I have to agree with the judges, at times it looks like Brendan is dragging her through the ballroom hold simply because of the lack of tone/strength in her upper body to get the position right. I enjoy watching Sophie dance though and I've liked her partnership with Brendan who has, imo, produced some of his best choreography this year. |

Must say I have been very critical of Brendan all series but he really won me over last night.
The whole package was stunning. Nice one Brendan.

I quite enjoyed it, and actuallly she herself gave more of a performance than she has usually done ( yes, even as a manaquin ) and seemed to enjoy it more.
I do like her, but sometimes she looks a bit in a different world, just going through the motions. For me, that was just about her best dance since her charleston, helped on both occasions by great choreography by Brendan. |

Still waiting for Sophie to show the love of dancing. Either by committing to getting it right or by emotionally letting go.
At the moment she is too often dragged around by Brendan. Just so annoying that spark is still missing. Abbey for all her foot faults & gapping does at least appear to really enjoying things. |

Susanna & Kevin have done one stand out dance - the paso - which overshadowed Natalie & Artem's. People are too willing to take on board the judges' harsh treatment of Sophie. |

I thought that after her charleston this was her best dance by far. It was undermarked imo. The choreography was brilliant and I thought Sophie really played the part well. Then again maybe I just liked it because it played homage to that 80's classic film "Mannequin"!

It wasn't the best although there was some entertainment value and her performance was up. Now, we need her to gnash and gurn a little more and she will win!

It was a great tango, undermarked as always. Brendans choreography made it a unique memorable dance, and it will stick in the mind. The mannequin thing was a stroke of genius.

Lol - I was thinking the same, bit of gurning (not too much!) couple of squeals here and there then a bit of jumping up and down when she gets anything over a seven
Guess it's completely out of character for her though ![]() I'm not implying one other contestant does ALL these things, it's a mash up of the other three.
