it was a good rumba routine Alfonso did but the music (though I love the track) is no rumba far too fast seems they get poor music choices just to accomodate a current single or as in this case a guest artist

If both Frankie and Pixie receive decent music then I can see Frankie taking the cake very effortlessly to be quite honest. She's already shown that she can be moody and aggressive as proved by her EXCELLENT Paso! Somehow I can't really see Pixie bringing too much drama to the dance.

It would require her to stop inanely grinning for a minute and a half.

well that's me told!

Not very rumba-esque though. It'll probably pop up as Jake's paso or Mark's jive

That should really suit Mark, and hopefully guarantee that he survives another week.

you mean like she was able to do in the Waltz and Rumba

It depends, Frankie is such a dull and lifeless celeb that i'm currently passing her Paso off as a fluke of emotion.

What song could Mark be dancing to for Halloween week for jive

I thought Sunetra was referring to having less faults with a waltz this week - apologies for any confusion, she must have been referring to their VW!

So, lucky ones:
Caroline & Pasha - Samba (Caroline's twitter)
Frankie & Kevin - Tango ( ITT)
Pixie & Trent - Tango (Trent's twitter)
Jake & Janette - Paso (ITT)


To be decided:
Scott & Joanne - ?
Simon & Kristina - ?
Steve & Ola - Charleston (Steve's twitter)
Alison & Aljaz - Charleston (Jenny Thomas' facebook)
Mark & Karen - Jive (BBC Breakfast)
Sunetra & Brendan -

Really unlucky:
Caroline & Pasha - Samba (Caroline's twitter) Samba for Halloween?

Whoever has danced the tango/paso in Halloween has done well overall, as well as Waltzes.
Jive can be a good dance for Mark, but Halloween? The same for Charleston, could go either way.

Lifeless? That's a bit far...

I love the way Judy has a sense of humour about herself -

It's Hallowe'en week on Strictly so @TheAntonDuBeke is creating a spooky routine. He's ordered mist. "Neck high". He thinks he's funny. #SCD

Who do we still have to find out the dances for

Indeed.

You could look a couple of posts up the page. That may, you know, help.

Jive for Mark I might deliberately miss that dance

Why would you deliberately miss it, when Mark is improving week by week?

There are so many others that I would be only be too happy to miss.

Based on what?

I remeber the last time Karen done the Jive with Nicky Byrne it was rubbish

Based on my opinions and feelings on her given the dances and interviews we've seen with her

Another classical piece that could make a good Hallowe'en waltz: Khachaturian's Masquerade

Scott & Joanne - Foxtrot (ITT)

Interesting that they have the same dance as Judy for the second week running...

Scott has the Foxtrot, and I presume it's to the theme from The Addams Family. God help us all.

This should be a less obvious disaster than the last few weeks. If the judges keep the comments bland and anodyne (as they showed signs of starting to do last week) we might have a chance of seeing him gone.

Updated list:

Alison & Aljaz - Charleston (Jenny Thomas' facebook)
Caroline & Pasha - Samba (Caroline's twitter)
Frankie & Kevin - Tango ( ITT)
Jake & Janette - Paso Doble (ITT)
Judy & Anton - American Smooth (ITT)
Mark & Karen - Jive (BBC Breakfast)
Pixie & Trent - Tango (Trent's twitter)
Scott & Joanne - Foxtrot (ITT)
Simon & Kristina - ?
Steve & Ola - Charleston (Steve's twitter)
Sunetra & Brendan - ? (possibly Waltz)
