They made D&O sweat a bit there

anyway onwards and upwards for next week.
Watching Danny muck-up his steps yesterday the first thing that came to mind was ‘well, here's the botched dance the journey yearners have been craving’. For me, the mistake and wobbles were down to a lack of focus (on his part) and not the elastic appendage or 'bungee/umbilical cord' as it was labelled in some quarters. Danny and Oti put in a lot of hours and I'm sure they nailed this routine more times than not. It's really funny reading the dismissive musings of people who didn't ‘get’ the concept so instead take a swipe at it. Know-it-all James Jordan called it a 'rubbish idea' and declared that the dance suffered because being 'too clever and inventive' is a bad thing when creating choreography.
I thought the routine was pure artistry. My interpretation of the dance was the everlasting connection between the couple in marriage/life (the start showing unpainted half of their faces). While the end pose with the corpse make-up on show was reminiscent of death and the unrelenting bind that exists.
The red elastic band symbolized the Red String of Fate, which tied in well with the Halloween theme i.e. the strong bond one has with their soulmate in life and death.
Don’t think there’s any need to reprise the foxtrot in the final if they make it that far, it was very much of the occasion and it’s not as if the entire dance was strewn with errors. They’ve got so many more exciting dances to come so they’ll be a lot to choose from.
