Don't shoot me, but I feel like Claudia is starting to play the journey card. I don't think that she has had much of a journey. She has never been rubbish.

Think her journey has been learning to dance rather than do gymnastic moves, whilst AJ has had to learn to teach and work with someone considerably shorter than himself and not rely on gimmicks. Just been lucky Claudia works hard and has talent.
![]() Btw, apologies for things going a bit nasty yesterday. I have a terrible filter. |

Yes, apologies. I edited my post because I realised you hadn't said you didn't like him. I don't know. It only a silly challenge. He wouldn't choreograph or dance like that with a celeb.
Accepted. I think, on reflection, those dancers who accept Strictly is nothing like real competition (or even real ballroom dancing), cultivate their quirky entertainment value and give their celebs a nice time probably have a much better idea of how to prolong their careers than those who insist on purity of the dance!

She was promoting the gymnastic showdance too. I expect that to be mentioned again before voting commences. You can't blame her though I guess ... they'll all do and say whatever it takes to get through.
I understand why they are doing it but I don't like it. |

Yep. I saw an article where AJ says that Claudia's legs won't touch the floor during their showdance. It's a dancing competition, not a lift competition.

I think he is unlikely to get the glam celeb who has previous dance experience, and so it is likely he'd have to produce something with greater entertainment value. I suspect he had a hand in Ed's choreography. |

I now have visions of those show dancers they used to have on, who just seemed to do weightlifting to music, with a few dance steps between. Really hope AJ does not go down this lazy route if they get to do a show dance.

I am a bit baffled as to why two pros would blow something like that for fun ?

I'm not impressed so far either - nothing against beards but I think he looks the odd man out with one, especially being a ginger.
What an embarrassing pro challenge result - might not be a good choreographer if he can't do the technique himself ? |

The gymnastic showdance worked for Louis Smith ... though I imagine he was massively ahead in the vote anyway. If the voting is close though it could work well for them as it'll be wow if nothing else.
As long as it's incorporated well into a dance then all well and good, otherwise it's just Claudia showing us what she can do and that's not really dance related. |

I think Neil and Katya are great, a breath of fresh air. Don't know what him being a red head has to do with anything.

They wouldn't. They tried to style it out (what else would you do?) but that was pretty poor to not even comprehend what was required. I'm not impressed with either of them ... Neil in particular.

Because they know within the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter one bit, have nothing to prove and decided to just go for it?

Go for what ? Still baffled !
Go as fast as they can, see what they could get. Is it really so unbelievable that they really didn't care that much whether they got it or not? I didn't realise some people took the pro challenge so seriously!

I didn't enjoy his showdance, I'd rather see a celebration of dance than a gymnastics routine
![]() Hope, if Claudia does get to the final, AJ uses her gymnastic skills wisely and doesn't just hammer us over the head with acrobatics. |
