"Claudia and AJ will be dancing the Foxtrot to 'I Really Like You' by Carly Rae Jepsen"

Can't say I'm a fan of the foxtrot and the song choice seems a bit bizarre too. I hope they don't give them too many of these poppy songs just because they're young. Just going to hope they get through another week and get the foxtrot out the way early.

I really want to see Claudia dance well with A.J.
I know she's got the physical attributes down. I want to see her succeed at something new- performing with a partner. As a proper team.

Yes, as Karen was saying she needs to perfect the bits in hold. It's harder for someone her height (bit similar to Lesley) but the judges are going to start getting really tough on that kind of thing as the weeks pass by. She has lovely posture though so I'm sure she's going to nail it.

Actually enjoyed their foxtrot more than I was expecting. Was a bit worried by how slow it looked in all the training. It was good though, even if the music was rubbish

Surely they have to get AJ's muscles out next week. Got to be a Latin dance for them.

Yes, it was a nice little number even though the foxtrot is one of my least favourite dances. If they get through I'll just be glad they've gotten it out the way early on.

Yes I was thinking that. I can see them suiting things like Jive, Charleston and uptempo dances. Getting the Foxtrot out of the way at this stage could be good for them in the long term.

"Claudia and AJ will be dancing the Samba to 'Young Hearts Run Free' by Candi Staton"

Looking forward to this. I like the song, it's certainly an improvement on recent efforts! And the dance sounded very intriguing when AJ was describing it on ITT.

Claudia's dress looking gorgeous on ITT tonight. Couldn't really pick up much from the training footage, but Ian loves them

Looking forward to their samba on Saturday!

What are the chances of AJ telling her she was awesome afterwards as they climb the stairs?

Claudia looked good in one of the training clips - I think she may do well tonight in the Samba!

Well AJ certainly pushed Claudia in that routine! It was a little frenetic but I thought it was a brilliant end to the show and I loved the last bit

It was a good end, its a shame that it was so fast though - fingers crossed theyll be through to next week

It is good that AJ is pushing Claudia with the routines though and I think she can do it, she needs a little bit more self confidence.

AJ looked amazing doing the samba though!

Voted for Claudia and AJ. Enjoyed their samba and her mastery of the dance. Both looked gorgeous. AJ was surprisingly delicious!

The judges moan when they push the celebrity and moan when they don't so you can't win really.

Agreed; I think its a better position to be in (giving a celeb too much content) than a good celeb being given dull/ safe choreography.

Hopefully AJ will find the balance if they stay in

It's Halloween next week. I hope they are still in and AJ can dress up as Rocky from The Rocky Horror Show.
