Queenie:
A vast improvement and compared to last week's unstable Cha-Cha, where you looked like you'd been on the Guinness, a much more stable routine! I spotted a bit of chemistry - the papers will love that!

Laura and Giovanni will feel like they’re on top of the world (or at least the O2 arena) after that…

Personally, I think it’s time to sit down whoever choose the songs and explain what a Tango is.

...better than last week. I'm annoyed, because you never go wrong, and you had a lot of content so that's to be commended, but there was just so much to be desired from both the frame and the footwork, both of which could be best described as "lumpy". Still, you definitely moved on up from the atrocity that was last week, so well done.

Looks like they could in fact be ‘moving on out’…

FOUR MARKS FEWER

Louise and Kevin are the next couple under our judges’ scrutiny…

No worries My name can be quite confusing, and you don't even want to see my surname

Sex is quite fitting for Anastacia the amateur porn star though.

I spent a good thirty seconds re-reading Luke's post and quote and couldn't spot a slip up so assumed Luke was making a joke about the quality of their dance.

Your post has clarified things.

ED. I admire your enthuasism and you really threw yourself into the Charleston capturing the quirky, fun feel of the dance. I was expecting a disaster but I'm actually rather impressed! Although how have you got to week two without dancing to Great Balls of Fire? Maybe that's next week's dance.

This is what happens when Craig isn’t being a massive tool for the sake of his reputation…

Naga...you try too hard. You've got it in you to do an excellent performance, but it seems like you want to top that and do even better and that causes you to struggle. As well as that you were very wooden and your arm movements weren't great. That wasn't your dance.

It seems our judges didn’t love that dance much at all…

The lifts were good but on the whole it didn't match up to the wow factor of your Cha-Cha last week. Also, a gay contestant dancing to Marvin GAYE? Very original from the producers!

More restrained from the judge and partner, but another improvement all the same…
