Yeah, quickstep is their only ballroom left so guessing it's that, hope she'll be good and not get too fast music/choreography that might ruin in, they've also got the cha cha cha thing to win some points
horrible to see them in the bottom two but hopefully it will give them what they need to really come out fighting and stop getting the same score of 36, this weeks the fourth time and they need a ten!

I'm hoping for:
Week 10 - Quickstep (hopefully a big comeback, with at least one 10) Week 11 - Salsa (should be quite good for them, especially with it being Musicals Week) Semi Final - Tango / Rumba (I enjoyed their Paso so I think the Tango could be good, and I don't see why the Rumba would be a bad draw for them) |

It depends when they start doing 2 Dances each... it will probably be before the semis

They are doing the AT this week according to AJ. He's never done one before. So glad they get to do one!

I really don't see this as a good week.
I know lots of pros haven't done AT so it is new to both of them. I hope they get the technique and emotion of the dance. C'mon let's see a strong emotive AT from the streets of Buenos Aires as Len would say. |

I hope it goes well for them but it does feel a bit of a risk. Won't the height difference make the AT technique harder for them? Also in order to get the style of the dance right it needs mature theme-ing, we know TPTB don't have that in the plans for these two 😂
Sorry to be negative, I really want these two in the final, would love to see what showdance she can produce and I feel they're the only couple that can help avoid the Clifton Saga the producers are setting up for us! |

Oh didn't expect them to have the AT I must admit! The bar has been set high by danny and Louise so hope they get appropriate music and theming!

Let's hope for lovely AT costumes this week. I am gonna go watch Vincent with Rachel. She was quite short. And didn't Dani Harmer do an AT. I'm going to try to find it. Thinking back Aliona had to put her head on Jay's chest not forehead to forehead because of the height difference. Going off to look at YT

Not sure how I feel about the AT. She will be capable of doing some pretty amazing lifts and the shaping should be a strong point for her but her short legs could be a hindrance. Music is going to be key but I'm not holding my breath!

Wow Argentine tango is the one I didn't expect, basically ruled that one out 😂 Really really hope they do well, I feel like an AT could be either amazing or rubbish

I think they should be able to do lots of quick flicks and also lifts which is good... although I don't know if the height is going to be a disadvantage for this dance
Be interesting to see how it goes |

Also interested to see what music they get, not sure how many pop songs would suit an AT

Not sure if the AT will suit Claudia - she struggled with emoting in the VW and couldn't keep a straight face in the Paso, bless
I'm sure the lifts will be sensational though!If they're to stand a chance of winning, this dance needs to be phenomenal - a Caroline Flack style comeback. Fingers crossed! |

So there we have it.
Cry Me a River --Justin Timberlake. Could have been far far worse. And AJ said in his interview he loved the music so let's hope Claudia does too. Looking forward to another Argentine Tango in this series. |

I had a feeling it would be that song, although it's probably the only Justin Timberlake track I know
The lifts sound impressive. I hope she excels with this one. They need to bounce back strongly this week.

Almost thought they'd give them Can't stop the feeling so that's a relief! Lifts sound amazing and they both seemed positive about it on ITT, looking forward to seeing some training footage.
