I hope they don't put gymnastic moves in( as I would like them at the top of the leader board.)
We all know Len (and sometimes Darcy) can be quite purist and mark down accordingly.
And Craig has already told her not to throw her gymnastic moves about.

So I would like to see one of AJ's routines choreo'd to his competition standard.
No pressure there then Claudia😉

Posting AJ's Monday interview again, he comes on at about 1hr 37mins . It seems like the VW was the first time he got to choose the music unsurprisingly.
The Jive sounds like it's gonna be really high energy as well and it seems like this week is the first time they're rehearsing for the full week as they started today and he normally mentions they will start on the Tuesday.

I'm with you there. I'm sure he's going to throw something in but hopefully nothing that will lose them marks. Claudia should be able to nail a proper jive.

Thanks again for this Well I think pretty much all of us were in approval of the music last week so it isn't surprising it was chosen by AJ. The pros know their stuff producers!

Yes, good point actually, save it for the showdance Also, I feel sometimes they get critiqued for small things which get overlooked with the other couples.

They're on ITT tomorrow so we should hopefully see some training/ get an idea of how it's going

Thanks. I don't usually watch ITT but will give it a go tomorrow (sorry today)

Seems like they're on the way to Blackpool judging by twitter and Instagram, ITT must have been recorded earlier! Still can't wait to watch

I was watching the training on ITT and on the SCD Web site. It appears to still be at the 'walking' through it stage.
Do you think they are holding the speed element of the dance up their sleeves to surprise us.
Claudia did say it was fast

I've only seen the training footage on ITT tonight. I did notice she was spotting again so I hope Darcy and Craig don't start harping on about it too much. And boy does it look fast! I love that AJ is pushing her so much. Whatever place she finishes in the competition (hopefully first ) she'll certainly be able to say she did it the hard way and never took the easy route.

I think they always seem to hold back something from their training videos, they like to surprise us

AJ is really pushing Claudia, he has so much faith and confidence in her, I think they'll smash it!!

Good luck to Claudia and Aj tonight! I'm away this weekend so won't get to watch till at least Monday but I'll try keep up with how they did and I'm sure I'll check the spoiler

Hope they smash the hell out of this jive 👍

Aw such a shame about the little mistake I still loved it though, just think Claudia was nervous, almost wish the marks weren't so high then people would feel more like they need to vote for her, really hope everyone's voting tonight to get them through!!

Also, just so everyone knows you can make multiple BBC accounts, with lots of email addresses - don't want them in the bottom two!

Ahhhh so frustrating that she made the error as I reckon she'd have gotten a 40 without it. Still a brilliant routine. It's impossible to call tonight. The standard is so high now. Really hope they survive!

I am worried for our two tonight It wasn't a great dance, and the fact that they were on first may make them overlooked

Thinking positively though, as long as Claudia can outpoll any two of Ore, Louise, Greg, Judge Rinder and Ed, she will avoid the dance off. I couldn't attempt to guess which two that could be though!

Yeah I think if she's in the dance off, it will be with either Greg, Judge Rinder or Ed (as the other three all got 10s so unlikely) and I think she can beat any of them, fingers crossed!

Not caught up with either last nights or tonight's show but I checked the spoiler! Gutted for them both! Hope they come back fighting next week!!!

Thank goodness they are through, I hope Claudia gets a better routine next week this one was awful. Also please give her a decent dress.

I have to admit I dont think the Jive was her dance, awful music/costume didn't help though (again!) plus being on first! Shame to loose Greg as there were people would have rather seen go before him. But onwards and upwards, new dance next week.

Yes, I can't say I'm surprised they were in the D/O. First up and middle of the scoreboard is never a good combo. Hoping for a big rebound next week and hopefully better song choice / styling. Will be interesting to see what dance they're doing.

What's the betting it's a quickstep?

I hope for the same. Better dance. Better dress for Claudia and outfit for AJ. And much much better music please.

I would have liked to see a tango but Ed has tweeted that he and Katya have a tango.

So it looks like QS
