It is very difficult to critique someone who is clearly very self conscious, particularly when what you are trying to get from her is that indefinable something extra. Something Rob Rinder & Ed have in spades.”
I tend to agree with you Monaogg in respect of Louise's earlier dances, but I thought she was great last night. I think it is a difficult balance to strike. One person's 'coming out of their shell' can be another person's 'hamming it up'. I thought last night she danced it well and acted it well whilst still keeping it classy and not giving it too much of the jazz hands.
However, I do think Len should have commented on the lack of foxtrot content, even though I enjoyed Kevin's choreography.
Personally I don't think the judges are too bothered about who wins. They've been doing this for too long. (I think they did care in the first few series, although they still wanted the best dancer to win, not a particular professional.)
