Me too. They all look quite good to me and I love Helen and Katie's songs.

They all look good except Peter. I feel sorry for him... I think he's trying too hard now because of what happened last week and he's forcing his technique, especially the rise and fall. I feel like he's still using the ball of his foot sometimes instead of his heel, which is making it look stompy. He also has problems with his frame. I feel Jay (albeit to a lesser extent) has this problem in ballroom too. They both look as though they're leaning forward, when really they should be straightening their necks which will make them look less hunched over. Aliona covers this up by not putting in Jay in hold as much as she good (take a look at their waltz and all the choreography out of hold).

Jay's tango is looking good, he's my favourite so I really want to see him be fierce this week.

Liking Georgia's Paso, too. But her footwork isn't great. She could close her feet more, but then again this is just rehearsal.

Helen's VW is looking gorgeous. I feel with her everything is too perfect though and she is again looking rather stiff. Her being very petite doesn't help this problem (just like Anita), and I'd like to see more fluidity with her.

Anita's rumba is also looking good, but again, she's so tiny and petite that it's hard for it sometimes not to look a bit stiff. Her hip action looks good, but I think wardrobe will be instructed by Gleb to have a flowy dress rather than a tight one to add movement to her skirt, which will make it look like her hips are moving more.

Kellie and Kevin are looking good, but I really hate their song. It's not a salsa song, even the "salsa version" isn't a salsa. It's a samba song and I think had they done a samba to this music rather than that awful hip hop one it'd be a lot better.

Katie's AT is looking ok. She's very rigid and her legs look awkward at times but I'm more worried about Anton in this dance than Katie.

DO I think will be Katie vs Peter...

I have an inkling that this is going to be Helen's week. She's got a cracking tune and will knock it out of the park with four 10's!


It's Aliona's wacky wafting choreography, nothing that we haven't seen before but it seems this year is getting worse.

I sometimes wonder if I am watching the same clip as everyone else. From the linked clip in the OP I would say it is hard to comment on most of the dances. In particular, I would be hard pushed to identify the dance Jay and Helen are doing from the little we saw. They may be brilliant but there is nothing I can see to judge from those clips. Kellie and Kevin looked good; Anita looked dramatic but there was very little lower body let alone feet visible in the clip; Georgia's footwork looked poor but the content trad Paso; Katie and Anton looked stiff but may have been walking it - all of them except Kellie looked to be still learning their routines rather than polishing.

I managed to forget Peter - a blessing.

But she does look better than in the clip shown on Wednesday's ITT. And she has certainly got the "haughty" feel of the dance down, well I thought so anyway.

That is however not a "lack" of description, though

From the clips it's hard to tell how some are doing. Helen looked the best to me. Aljaz was teaching her the position of her body against his, which Ian picked up on in his Wed warm-up, so that's good. Her frame looked good to me as well.

I've no idea about Georgia or Jay from the little we see.

Anita and Katie were concentrating hard and Katie is getting much better foot placement for her legs than we saw previously.

I couldn't see that Kellie was doing a salsa although she looked competent as always and I loved those lavender blue shoes.

Peter looks lost to me and I think he's too chunky on the shoulders for a ballroom frame.

Saturday will reveal all ... I'm rooting for Katie the most. I'd love her to deliver a fierce and sexy AT.
