Drums fingers waiting for Sofakat to catch up.
If that AT still looks like that on Saturday, this could be the epic mess of awful that PP let us down so badly with. Sofakat is going to burst a blood vessel and that's just from 15 seconds of training video. ![]() ![]() Whether it will be an AT or not, that will be answered on Saturday. |

Ian Waite's look at Anita & Gleb's AT, it's hilarious, terrible and weirdly fascinating all at same time. Don't think you'll be impressed. 😂😂😂
![]() Love all the dissing of the double bounce - was that a question from SCDTristan?

I think you might be again on Saturday unless someone holds you back. It won't be me though. I will be holding your instruments.

And why was Kellie wearing a skirt with fairylights in it?

Is that weird low to the floor one leg stretched out twirl powered by a geriatric mixer, the new must do move for AT? 😨
Didn't Kellie do it in her salsa but he just pushed her straight across the floor like someone power mowing their lawn?

In a way I'm sort of hoping, if Jay gets through this week, he has the samba just so Aliona can also dismiss the double bounce with an epic eye roll 🙄😂
![]() That would be awesome! |

I think in a weird way that many of the characteristics of certain dances have been exaggerated on SCD over the years. Paso and tango have to be snarling, face-pulling aggressive things. AT must be at least half ganchos. Rumba is writhing and looking constipated. Jive - kick and flick and kick and flick.
It's weird, because a lot of the others have become quite watered down. Cha cha, salsa and samba do genuinely run into each other, as seen by Kellie's generic Latin with lifts. Foxtrot and waltz frequently are indistinguishable. Very odd. Quote:

It will be better that's for sure. They look like marking the dance anyway.
Whether it will be an AT or not, that will be answered on Saturday. Not sure it will because that choreography just didn't look right. It wasn't even that it was danced badly, it was the choreography that was horrible to my eyes. The AT is meant to be intimate and compact, that was anything but

I have not appreciated a paso all series, and I fear Helen has met her nemesis with it now. Music totally wrong, and ragged wretch look and theme hardly conducive to feistiness, which is probably a challenge for her anyway.

I feel a bit the same to be honest, she is brilliant at elegant and graceful, but feisty and passionate not so much. We do have her paso face to look forward to which may give as many laughs as the tango face ![]() Think it could be a really unexpected bottom 2 on the judges' leaderboard because Kellie looks OK in her training. |

For an actress, to have such a bad tango face is confusing!
I hope her paso will be better. Paso is.... make a face like a bullfighter and a bull and a cape and also a Spanish dancer. And make sure they can see the dust of the bullring in your face and the anger of the bull but also you're attracted to the matador and you're an inanimate object which is still very, very passionate! I laugh at the faces as much as anyone but I can see where the celebs get a bit lost with it! |

In fairness, what constitutes a good tango (or Paso) face on Strictly? I mean, what is it they're supposed to be trying to act? So far as I can make out the instructions are to be angry but also sexy and passionate but disdainful and... do a tango face! Scrunch up your face a bit and really focus your eyes and hope the judges are feeling nice.

Also, if you're looking like any one of Emma Bunton, Pamela Stephenson, Susanna Reid or Lisa Riley, you may want to dial it down a few....thousand. You don't need to thank me 😜😜😜 |

Pasha did a good tango face when dancing with Kimberly. Aside from that, bullfighters can have really scary faces when in the ring. When dancing flamenco some expressions are scary! |
