Even Jay and Aliona were made to do that stupid selfie and crowd high fiving nonsense in their QS. (I refuse to believe it was Aliona's idea)
I know - that was so unnecessary and didn't seem like something Aliona would come up with, but like something the Strictly producers would think was 'cool' If Anita has to faff around with a feather duster it will just remind me of Fern Britton at the start of her salsa and nobody wants that.

Anita is a much better dancer than Peter and Georgia though. Do you mean because of the judges constantly underscoring her?
Peter and Georgia are both better dancers than Anita - I don't think she's being undermarked and the scores are about right.

Although I have liked ~Anita's performances so far feel that Gleb does not concentrate on the footwork much - (regardless of what Len said this week) no hiding place with jive will be interesting to see how she fairs.

Will be interesting to see how Helen fairs with rumba and if she gets the right hip action

Sorry but this is absolute rubbish.

Her last two dances especially have been undermarked, the tango with 'Sweet Deposition' was worthy of 9's across the board!

I think Craig was fair in his assessment of Anita's last dance.

think jay and aliona will top board
Harry did top the leaderboard in the same week with an AT, but he was cool and collected and looked way more mature then Jay. He might come across like a schoolboy, which is not what you want in an AT.

And Kellie has a very easy scoring dance, so she should by all means be able to pull in the lead (will be interesting to see Blackpool, as she has had most of the flashy dances and if the luck of the draw is against her then she could be in trouble). This is a week for her to get some easy audience votes for the rest of the series.


unlike some do not think Peter will and if judges marking as they have others do not think Helen will get more than 8 or 9 with her hip action
Yeah, I am expecting a score similar to last weekend. And that could be enough for another top three placing.

That's subjective though.
I don't think her waltz deserved extra marks .. her feet looked wrong some of the time and her leg extension .. on that move they keep showing (showed it on ITT tonight) was pretty poor. Her dress did hide a lot of it though. Also the armography was not clean.
I'm not saying it wasn't good .. it was and it got good scores. I think the call for better scores has a lot to do with the Gleb effect .. for the man himself and his choreography.

This. As someone else said, it will be interesting to see her coping with an exposing Jive (without any make-up and wardrobe trickery like in the last few weeks). Her Cha Cha and Samba were decent, but that standard will not get her even one 9 (compared to the likes of Kellie and Jay).

only dance i will be worried about for blackpool is a rumba as it is so static or a salsa would be quite happy for a samba or vw as they move round the floor and think she will get the samba movement judging by her leg action inn other dances

I think Georgia is a better dancer than Anita, definitely not convinced about Peter though.

I don't think Jay looked like a schoolboy in his jive (or any of his other dances for that matter, but I know its subjective) - I think AT is one dance where his focus on Aliona and tendency to look at her all the time could work for them.

totally agree whilst Anita's performances have been good lack of attention to technique is what have caused the lower marks imo

To say I am excited for Jay's AT is an understatement ; My favorite dance, the one I was most looking forward to see him do; And to have a song from the Gotan Project ... Could this be any more perfect ?

Saturday cant come fast enough !!!
No, it couldn't be more perfect, and this could be his greatest dance yet!

Only just realised that Blackpool is in two weeks (and not next week) Last year it was in week 8.

That throws a spanner in my predictions (and everything I've said in the last few weeks,lol).

Also probably means I won't get to watch it live, as I am away with my mother on a day trip that weekend Ah well, can always tape it................usually that ends with my favourite getting eliminated and me never watching the tape

Okay as soon as I saw that Jay had the AT and saw the song , I had tunnel vision

On to the other dancers. Now I see why Gleb didnt want to tell Anita their jive song on sunday....this is a good one and the pros danced to that song in the past; Excited to see this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2Epp3CeA1A This is such a good song for a Jive. Aww watching that again made miss our old pros

Carol VW song is not bad imo; One of my favorite songs. I like it for an AS
Everyone has great songs this week imo shocking maybe the BBC saw the complaints .


Once again YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Jay's song and dance
Not one of those males pros are still on the programme (not that I miss James, of course )

A lot of us think that jay, Helen or kellie on here are gonna be at the top of the leaderboard, we can't underestimate georgia though as she's on really good current form. Nobody predicted she'd be at the top of the leaderboard here where as I saw it as a possibility.

It'll suit her right down to the ground, some of us here think she'll be in the bottom two so I hope she proves them wrong.

Jay and Aliona's song is amazing. Really pleased with it, I can only imagine how good this is going to be.
Helen got lucky with her song. Great song!
Love Anita's song but it's a little faster than your average jive. Excited to see it!!

Really looking forward to the show - everybody bar Carol has dances that suit them and the music choices are mostly good too. Excited to see all of them!! (Well, again, except for Carol, but, who knows, Pasha has done exceptionally well with the coreography for her, so, we'll see😀 )
