The thing is people see what they want to see. If you like Ore you'll say he was under marked and any criticism of his dancing is ridiculous. I prefer to try and keep an open mind and even criticise the people I enjoy watching if they mess up.
So in that light I agree, this was a very poor AT indeed. It was sloppy, lacked energy and snap other than in a couple of places such as the yank of Jo into his arms. He did a lot of posing as Jo danced the complicated steps around him. However I think to draw the AT on the week you have to learn 2 dances was incredibly hard on Ore, but then that's the luck of the draw. Also the mention of his parents, at least three times, was a little OTT for me. Mention them once, fine, but Tess sat with them before the dance, mentioned them when Ore walked over at the end of the dance, then Ore giving it more of a squeeze with Claudia ... not required at all.
