Yes, but Anton'll most likely dancing Latin and we all know how that ends...
Hello and welcome! 
Last night, we had our annual movie night celebrated with dodgy theming and even dodgier VT acting. As usual, it had highs...it had lows and it all built up to a scintillating conclusion (more on that later though).
As ever, our judges have been casting their own watchful eyes over proceedings and there are bound to be strong opinions and marks to match those opinions!
Kicking things off were Carol and Pasha...

I doubt there are many wo/men who would be prepared to wash Pasha out of their hair, let’s put it that way.

Mitch: Oh Carol! You showed so much improvement last week and its just slipped down again I'm afraid, needs improvement.
Well…she managed to creep into double figures. That’s a positive, right?

Ash: A little underwhelming. Not at all bad, just "okay" if I'm honest.
Well, he’s not exactly rising up, but considering how our various panel variations work, not bad:
TWO MARKS FEWER

I see the producers accepted Queenie’s suggestion that Mrs Violin spend a dance portraying a low-rent hooker. Nice of them.

Ash: I really love the promise you show Katie. This wasn't a bad effort by any means, but I think this wasn't your best dance and I had expected more. I hope it's just a temporary blip.
It may be their lowest score so far, but they still manage to…

Onto our next couple, it’s Kellie and Kevin…

Just the minimum difference, with Luke being the driving force…

Luke: Whoever decided that a penguin-themed Cha-Cha-Cha would in any way work doesn't deserve to be employed. Anyway... yeah. You have lots of natural rhythm and groove and all that malarkey and that showed - especially in the disco sections - but it was just a bit too hodge-y podge-y for me. But you know I love you Ainsley. Ditto Natalie.
That makes them the first couple of the round to improve on their score…

Is the writing on the wall for our next couple? It’s Georgia and Giovanni…

Luke: The name's Pernice, Giovanni Pernice, license to perspire. Seriously, mate, get some Right Guard. I quite liked the moodiness of the dance and you definitely set up the atmosphere well, but the dance just lacked a little something in my (for your) eyes (only). Perhaps that was just the singer's lack of vocal exercises beforehand.
Being the Len of the panel makes me feel distinctly unclean. Anyway, GG…
