It's quite funny that Kirsty was openly contesting Brendan's choice of music! Seems he was thinking more about himself and what he likes than her:

"...and I bloody loved it. @U2 and a Paso Doblé on #Strictly! Two of my favourite things!"

Not sure even 2 pros could make a Paso work to that.

Seemingly they are. Or rather he is. Still agog. WTF was he thinking?

He's just proved he's a total bellend . How can any newcomer be expected to dance a Paso to that . Does he even know what a Paso is or maybe he just doesn't care as long as he can show off .

He's lucky Daniel had a mental freeze up and messed up his DO, otherwise they would be goners .

The judges didn't say that though. Not one of them told her she wasn't aggressive enough. She just fancied a grizzle.

She was saying the song did not help her get in the mood, but she was addressing wrong persons about it, it would seem. Not everything is a doing of an evil BBC mastermind.

she danced like she was forcefully serving you tapas

You say lucky ...

Maybe he thought that could be his way out!

Well quite! The cynic in me has wondered, is Brendan actually trying to get eliminated? He didn't look massively thrilled to be put through.

Surely the Paso is not about being aggressive but about power and strong shaped lines. Controlled attitude. Purposeful.
With her muscular physique she should have been all over this dance. Maybe the music didn't help but I don't think she is committing herself enough to the actual dance.
It's like she is scared of letting go.

Another possible thought... did Brendan choose a U2 song because he knew Kirsty couldn't pull off a firey paso so deliberately opted for something softer?

Either the man is a genius or a bit of a tosser. Or possibly both!

LOL, well at least he's admitted it instead of letting us carry on thinking he was being hard done by.

If you're going to go rock, there are better choices out there, surely. And maybe choose something that you partner is going to be able to get into as well.

That's true, actually, I hadn't thought of that, it is brave of him to say it was his choice. He didn't need to. I'm baffled by the choice, but I sort of love him for it at the same time.
