Team GG's for me, closely followed by Peter and Anita.

only 14 votes for your Peter ,
this poll isn't going well for you

Oooh, nice attempt at baiting there...

I don't even think Peter is jiroos' favourite, so I think your comment is a little misjudged

I know it is part of the Chicago musical that all the attention is on Roxie but Georgia outdanced Giovanni last night and is way ahead of Peter and Janette's Charleston

What a GREAT year for Charlestons - I loved all of those listed (and Jeremy's as well). I voted for Kellie's as it's the one I would most love to dance myself plus the synchronicity was ace. And of course because the Star Wars nerd in me was going the entire way through so I can't deny my bias <3 <3 <3

Even though she messed up in places, Georgia and Giovanni's was the best so far by miles.

This post is a little bizarre, seeing as you voted for Peter.

That's the internet for you.

I see the poll is very tight.

I loved Georgia last night BUT I voted for Kellie & Kevin - that was joyous! IMO the best thing Kevin from Grimsby has ever done on the show, let alone Kellie - the timing was outstanding and the use of props was brilliant.

G&G got my vote but I think Jamelia and Peter deserve recognition for theirs too.

Kellie's was really good and I enjoyed the theme.

I love Anita but it would have gotten a 7 from me.

Peter definitely deserves more recognition.

Easily G&G

Only 5? It feels like a lot more

If the question was who danced it best, would be by far Georgia and Giovanni. She danced it perfectly, and, as I can't see the mistake, I think the score was very deserved.

But as a routine, I personally like Peter and Janette's best, (purely in terms of choreography and energy) so I voted for them.

( And then they say that Jay's fans cant be fair to Peter or other contestants.)

Could've fooled me

You are definitely fair. I admire your honesty.

Both Georgia & Giovanni
Just fantastic

Jamelia and Tristan

On first appearance I would have rated Georgina the best, but on looking back on it a few times I have noticed that it was littered with mistakes.

So Peter wins for me.

They are really tiny though, i didnt catch them in the first two times I watched it. And Pete has some small mistakes as well.
Aside from that Georgia's was far better danced I thought.

Choreographically is a matter of taste, so there is no objective way of saying which one is better rather which one we liked best.

I did didn't I? And I honestly can't remember doing so.

I'm afraid I was ver', ver' drunk at the time. I apologise.

As you were. (The correct answer to the thread title is obviously Georgia and Giovanni's.)

ETA - I also appear to have voted. And not for Georgia/Giovanni. How terribly embarrassing. Prosecco is evil stuff. I am not touching it again. Unless there's a "y" in the day.

Love it!

Jamelia & Tristan, for the sheer surprise of it; I'd've given them and Georgia & Giovanni a 9/10.

A 9 for me too Monsieur.

As stated earlier, I LOVE the Charleston and liked every one of the above - obviously, some more than others - for various reasons. So, in judging this, I'm going to use two criteria:

1) Ambition/Originality of Routine (out of 10)
2) Execution of Routine (out of 10)

Anita & Gleb
Of the five, this was my least favourite...and I hate to say it...as I love Anita & Gleb as a couple. However, this was not one of their best - I didn't enjoy its contemporary styling. I would have loved to see Anita in typical Charleston get-up..I think she would have really carried it off I also hated the fact that she danced in flats - the ladies should ALWAYS dance Charleston in heels. And WHERE WAS THE SWIVEL???!

What I did like was the storytelling, some great tricks and the fact that Anita produced auch a great effort - especially for Week 2.

Ambition/Originality: 8/10
Execution: 9/10
TOTAL = 17/20


Jamelia & Tristan
Jamelia's dance of the series without doubt. I don't think I remember a time she enjoyed herself more on Strictly. Tristan produced a wonderful routine which played to all her best strengths and, as a result, she received a much-needed boost of confidence.

I loved the Josephine Baker inspired-style which made it slightly unique to the Charlestons we are used to on Strictly. Great storytelling, well-executed - a very pleasant surprise all round. Jamelia should be very proud of herself for this attempt. But again - why the dancing in FLATS???

Ambition/Originality: 8/10
Execution: 9/10
TOTAL: 17/20


Kellie & Kevin
When I saw their choice of music, I had very high hopes for this routine - and K&K did not disappoint in the silightest.

Their embracing of the whole theme, the magnificent use of props and their incredible synchronicity made me smile throughout the whole routine. For me, they had the best timing by a mile - as Bruno would say "[they] were right on it!". A absolutely flawless routine which was badly underscored by the judges.

Ambition/Originality: 9/10
Execution: 10/10
TOTAL: 19/20


Peter & Janette
I saw this routine about three days after it was originally performed and had not deliberately avoided all press & social media coverage on Strictly before doing so. On first viewing, I was cheering and clapping lie no tomorrow by the end, I was THAT impressed.

For me, this is the most ambitious of these five Charlestons and while Peter was not perfect, he well and truly sold the routine. Add in the fact that Janette, for me, has never been better and you have a truly winning combination.

I loved the mirror introduction, the different speeds it took in and, of course, all the tricks. Wonderful choreography (whoever did it), totally embraced by this couple. I would go as to say, routine-wise, this is my all-time favourite on Strictly.

Ambition/Originality: 10/10
Execution: 9/10
TOTAL: 19/20


Georgia & Giovanni
Again, another routine which I knew would come together just by the amazing choice of music. Throw in the fact it was the ever-rising Team GG performing to it, the routine itself, the costume, the make-up - well, what was not to like?

Although I did not enjoy it so much as a routine as some of the above, it has been said that Bob Fosse choreography is notoriously difficult to perform and, with that in mind, Georgia pulled out every stop going. Its just a pity Giovanni didn't because he visibly appeared to be "under-dancing" to me. Now, kudos to him if he wanted to make the dance 'all about Georgia' but it lost a little bit of "WOW" factor there for me.

Nevertheless, their effort was truly spectacular, with Georgia actively throwing every inch of her body in to it. Like K&K, some great & clever use of props, loads of classic moves mixed with plenty of lifts and tricks all executed beautifully. Like Peter & Janette, there were mistakes but these were barely noticeable. Again, like Peter & Janette & K&K, one that will live in the memory for a very long time

Ambition/Originality: 9/10
Execution: 9/10
TOTAL: 18/20


So, while this was a very closely-run fight (as totally expected), for me, this is a tie between Kellie & Kevin and Peter & Janette.

Well done to all!!!
