Georgia's dance was lovely, but it was meant to be a rumba, and it wasn't. As Len said there were only 2 rumba steps in the whole routine, the rest was just crowd-pleasing fillers. I'm not surprised he marked it low.

As for Len ticking off Giovanni - the latter was extremely disrespectful standing there shaking his head and smirking while Bruno was talking, especially as Bruno's comments were surprisingly accurate. He may not agree with Bruno, or any of the judges, that's fair enough, but he needs to show them respect. As head judge Len was well within his rights to call Giovanni out.

I agree with the latter part of this, Yes it was rude and disrespectful of Giovanni to "object to the judges comments" in the way he did, I'm sure a lot of pro's don't agree with comments from time to time, but keep quiet about it. RE the routine, almost all pro dancers know the key moves to a dance, and if they want to keep on the judges side for the sake of their celeb partner should add at least the basics in. Also it's not the first time Len has called a pro dancer out for lack of content or illegal lifts, so not sure why the furore now from other FM's

The way I saw it was that because Giovanni doesn't speak English fluently, he has to concentrate when listening to what is being said to him. That can sometimes come across as rude. If anything I think Len was really rude to him and someone like James would have put both Bruno and Len in their place deservedly.

At my age I shouldn't really be saying it but she's a sexy little thing.
I like her. Seems grounded and down to earth. Her parents have done a good job.

Missed the show and just seen this on catch up. Poo rumba in my opinion. May impress some but where was the rumba content. Only saw a couple of authentic rumba steps.

It comes to something when James Jordan is seemingly held up as a paragon of virtue!

She's boring. Not even a Bond theme can spice her up...

I don't think she's great. Len was right about the choreography - a series of poses to a terrible song. That isn't her fault, but she seems bland and her voice irritates me.

I really enjoyed watching their Rumba - it was passionate and really well executed. My favourite performance of the night, closely followed by Jay and Aliona.

I think she has potential and she's in the middle so has lots of room to improve,
I can see her being in the final 5 for sure. Maybe the actual final along side Jay and Peter, possibly Jamelia who is good but not popular (poor girl).
Georgia's boobs do nothing for me, but she seems a lovely girl,

I tend to forget about her she's a bit middle of the road personality and dance wise.

Seems a a nice enough person though.

I like her. She seems nice, likeable, down to earth (no drama), grateful, happy to be on the show and, more importantly, willing to learn some dancing. The fact that she's not bad and has some ability to work from means she's got some potental that can be explored. She's not the best dancer, somewhere in the middle, so could be an interesting watch for those that like to watch contestants go on a journey of improvement (which I think she will if gets the chance to remain for a while). I have no idea if she has a big fan base and can rely on her soaps fans to vote for her. I know that corrie is still a big show, but that wouldn't necessarily mean she as an individual would benefit from all those corrie fans backing her just became she's in the show. I think strictly can present you to new fans anyway, esp if you can please people with some dances, so she can perhaps get new fans to vote her through on top of any corrie ones. She's pretty, cute and can dance to an extent, so will poss see her last to at least a midway point if not a but more.

I usually find Len scores too high but I agree with his 6 for that so called rumba . Not enough rumba steps but posturing and posing which was the fault of Giovanni .

I'm expecting her to be the "shock exit."
She's got all the corrie fans rooting for her and you've said something that may not even happen. She's got enough twitter followers to see her through.
