I honestly don't think they're mean really. She got great marks, and the dance did lack a biit of connection, although I think it was her best. She's young, dancing a deux isn't her thing and she's learning fast.

I hope she can pull it out of the bag.

Karen's short sighted, and therefore needs corrective lenses all the time for seeing in the distance. She'll wear contact lenses most of the time, but the glasses will come on to give her eyes a rest or maybe she's lost one of her contacts.

I'm sure they've thrown some tenners at Oksana just then.

Love "One Night Only" but don't think it's a tango

Sounds like this weekend's show is going to be a corker

JR definitely going home with that music.

Poor Rinder, that's going to be unholy.

Also, having the same score as their Jive where they made a mistake and no mistakes in Argentine Tango is weird.

I disagree, I feel Claudia and AJ do have a connection.

Tunes on Tuesday, Musicals

Lion King for Claudia, daughter pleased with that.

Gorgeous Oksana

Oh I love love Jo& Ore's song!

Foxy Oksy.

They were horribly overmarked for the Jive though, it was her worst dance.

Love a mojito (or three)

Not a good song for Claudia/AJ because it is not nearly as well known as the other four. And they will be on first or second, so a dance-off is looming

Off topic for Strictly but about musicals - I saw Half a Sixpence on Sat & the dancing was just amazing.

And also her funniest

Thank you for clarifying, Seaside. She still annoys me, tho

I think AJ will put too much choreography into their Salsa like he usually does and mess up Claudias chance of getting to the final! She's not as able as he seems to think she is!

I feel they are being set up to fall at the rumba hurdle, which I guess will come next week if they stay in

She's going like the clappers.

She's going great guns here.

Oksana was good at that!

Also slightly disappointed that they've got a 'kids' musical/soundtrack, again playing up the cutesie side of oh-aren't-they-adorably-young which the producers have pushed and pushed and is starting to grate on me.

That bit ALWAYS makes me laugh - I'm such a child.

Isn't Oksana adorable?

0 steps disqualified, nifty moves there!
