Cloudier's jive was a big disappointment - she didn't look confident from the opening shot. Was highly amused by the subsequent need to arm-wrestle the leaderboard into something resembling sense. A great pity as I wanted that jive to be her breakout "I'm a contender" dance.
So ... go ahead and shoot me. I enjoyed Ore's dance last night. Think Joanne produced something that worked in terms of coming through the screen to me - and that was pretty rare yesterday. I have no clue about its merits as a dance, but as a piece of theatre it did the job well.
Louise's Paso worked right up to the point she ripped off her cloak and turned out to be wearing a pair of 2-for-one bargain curtains. Also, the close ups on her face did little to dispel her troubled vole look. Cersei Lannister she is not.
Doti's charleston would have worked a treat in a smaller space perhaps? Mind you, if anyone is going to get a vaguely deserved 40, it's them. Personally I'd rather it had come for their QS, but you can't have everything and really, where else was the judging to go? They had to give some hint that they did a better dance than Cloudier.
Anyone else feel it was a bit of a bizarre running order? Really don't think it did Greg, Ed or Rindy any favours to leave them in a heap to the end, but maybe that was the point. Didn't hate any of them, but didn't much adore them either. Surely one of them must go tonight.”

I think that was my problem with Ore's dance - it seemed more like an AS for showdance and I was a bit disappointed. It just seemed a waste of the space and Jwann's skills. A big, traditional ballroom dance in a big tradional space was what was missing, for me
I was shortchanged, dammit 
The running order was very odd - I assume Robert was last because of the glitter ticker tape at the end? But other than that having the 3 predictably highest scoring dances bunched up at 2nd, 3rd and 4th seemed a bit strange.




that was a really mimsy beige paso danced with a wooby face, fierce, what's that? but that is what happens when you drag a mommy away from her cocoa.
