I agree.

Top line too upright - didn't really enjoy it.

I detected a mistake towards the end.

Not great music for a tango.

Noticed a small mistake.

Lou & Kev - very original - 9 from me.

Len loved the "faffing around" at the beginning???

MUST be time for him to retire!!!

Poor music choice, awful costume styling and dancing with zero personality. She just didn't commit.

Will be overmarked - but that is how it is. She was just dull. No sharpness.

BBC cuts: they've recycled props from the Generation Game.

Distinct air of Mary Poppins about Louise there, I thought.

Yeah, cheap and tacky

The whole concept made no sense. Why not just do a tango and dispense with the faffing on the conveyer belt?

"I love the conveyor belt."

To completely rip off Monkseal - Len RETIRE!

Louise & Kevin. What have they put Kevin in a grandad cardie! The music was awful I feel a bit sorry for them. It was a bit boring imo. I would give that an 8.

I do agree.

Also, Bruno TANGO isn't meant to be happy.

I think Kevin made the mistake

God, why can the Strictly producers not pick remotely suitable Tango music?

That said, I thought that actual Tango was really well-danced on the whole - her top line and footwork were both great, and her movement was sharp throughout, and I really enjoyed it as a whole.

An 8/9 from me.

Evening, I enjoyed that from Louise.

Well glad you liked it Bruno but as a layman it did nothing

I really thought she was very good. One of her best actually, and I thought she brought it.

And it was a full on well executed tango.

Fudd

"It was a happy Tango."

So it wasn't a Tango then.

Really like Louise but that was dull for me. Did she make a mistake in the middle there?

"Dynamic"...I am definitely missing something with Louise.

Agree with Len. It was very good, but there seemed to be a moment of hesitation near the end, where I think Louise went slightly wrong.

Louise can really do no wrong in Bruno's eyes!
