I just wish Anton would get some help with the latin choreography, if he can't be a***d to re-train between Strictly seasons. Not from Erin though, her latin wasn't much better than Anton's by the end. Lilia could really tailor routines to people, he should ask her for help!

He is very different from the Series 1 Anton when he took Lesley Garrett to the semifinal (Week 7) with serious mien.
He needs to reprogramme himself to before he was known as the pro with the hopeless dancer and the comedy role. It's been a long time, but he's a grown man that can surely adapt and rise to the challenge (despite last week showing no evidence of this).

The audience can see Katie is a different level to quite a few of Anton's previous partners so I'm sure the man himself is not blind to that either. He knows he can apply himself in ballroom and should now start to earn his money teaching the Latin side for the first time in a while.

Even if she was struggling during the week, it would have been better to give her something with more content. After the previous week, I just can't imagine it would have resulted in a complete disaster. Probably remarks such as..just not your dance, and marks of 5 or 6. But I don't think she would have been in any danger of going out.
I don't really understand his thinking.

Katie was too classy to play the brassy prostitute played by Julia Roberts.
Must admit I was expecting more of them after last week...and yes, anton's choreography had gaping holes in it.

I don't believe that is his forte.

I've watched their Cha cha Cha again and it was just embarrassing, anybody would think that Katie was the pro and the mad Anton running around on his own was the talentless celeb.

Then when Katie did the swivel of her hips Anton was rocking her arms back and forth like a maniac, as if she could not generate the pace by herself.

It was fingers in front of the eyes tv. The other pros are working so hard to make their celeb partners dance the very best they can, Anton is treating it as a joke and it is not fair on Katie, or any other half decent partner. The joke has worn very thin now and it is time for him to leave SCD, he must be the very oldest pro on the show at 49! In comparison the likes of Matt Cutler and Ian Waite were dispensed with by SCD when they were in their late 30's.

I think he's got used to having to keep it simple. He's not been challenged at all for years. He's underestimated her potential/ability. I think this will be a wake up call for him.
I think his partners have been very challenging !
Can you imagine any otherr Pro trying to create routines for the likes of Wacky Widdy, Fancy Nancy & Lazy Jerry????

Maybe Anton's shell shocked at getting someone who just might be able to dance.

It so lacked content it was shocking. I have always read about Anton's supposedly weakness at latin and was vaguely wondering if it was exaggerated. After all, his recent partners have been so rubbish it was difficult to tell. Well, I wonder no more... He shouldn't really be on the programme if he can't dance half the styles. It's a shame as I like Katie and she really has potential.
