1 Ugliest dress ever danced in, but otherwise, Georgia was my favourite. Unlike all the other women, she's neither too loose and gangly nor too stiff nor desperately trying too hard. Thank heavens Giovanni wasn't drenched for once – I hope that's sorted now.
2 Kellie annoyed the hell out of me with all the excuses, missing the family, the suppressed anger at the 7's, the busy busy, poor poor pitiful me – well just sod off home to Freddie then. Though I'm a bit suspicious that they're uglying her up on purpose to oust her before the final – once again, her hair was dreadful (like that time with the enormous exaggerated 1940s curls). And I suspect she slit that skirt to try to show off her legs – the costume lady said she wanted her skirts shorter – maybe she's been a diva? In any case, she always looks 10 times better on ITT than on Saturdays.
3 But speaking of looks, Katie was GORGEOUS. I'm a bad judge of dancing but I liked her paso, and I didn't even think Kirsty was too bad – a bit helter skelter but that seemed more the fault of the choreography than her imo. I'm always suspicious of producer-driven sabotage and that choreo looked like it -- also Jamelia's cropped dresses in ballroom - if ANYbody needs a long dress to obscure her feet, it's Jamelia but hers are always 6 inches higher than her feet - not a good look on anybody. I liked her jive ok though - like James Jordan said, the dance seemed to suit her.
4 I feel like Jay is going downhill since the jive. His face – he just looks like a frightened little boy – and I wish I could take some scissors to his hair – it's too fluffy and high – and Aliona's looked better in the darker shade of last series. They've lost me at the moment, but I'm sure he's sticking around and will probably defeat Georgia, who I think may be an early surprise bottom two, though it might be Kellie... oh who knows, but I can't wait for someone above the big scoring-gap to hit the dance-off to shake things up.
5 Anita – I feel the dances are designed around him and she's struggling to keep up. And I always love Gleb's powerful balletic dancing and also the choreography he and Gordana-2 create (his wife Elena, who said in an interview he was the new Derek Hough), but he's so strangely disengaged from Anita. I liked his personality on DWTS when he had an older lady who brought out his charming side – I keep feeling a mismatch with this couple.
