Louise & Kevin - which dance would YOU have chosen for Round 1?
It seems to be the consensus that Louise & Kevin were given a bum deal when the judges chose their Cha Cha Cha as their Round 1 dance. With the added fact that it was originally their joint lowest-scoring dance, I definitely agree.
But which dance would you like to have seen them given, to make that round a whole lot fairer? I would have liked their 'Big Spender' American Smooth. |

I've never understood the Judge's pick.
They chose Louise's worst dance so that she has plenty of potential to improve (I thought it was no better than the first time she danced it), but for Danny and Ore the Judges chose dances that were almost perfect first time, in the hope that they can earn 4 tens. I would have liked to see Danny have a chance to redo his Halloween Red Ribbon Foxtrot, this time without the mistake. Instead he did an already high scoring QS, and made a mistake in that..... |

Her American Smooth going on the picks for the other two. That was her highest scoring outside the Argentine Tango and Paso Doble (but they couldn't do that because of the additional backing dancers in Blackpool).

Yes that would be good! Or their Waltz, was that the one with all the underarm turns ? I forget ! The Cha Cha Cha is such a difficult dance. I'm not sure anyone in the final would have been given that before. The fact is the judges said the idea behind their choices was a chance to improve to a 10. How she would do that, God knows ! I think she improved by 7 points which wasn't bad.

I agree - should have been their American Smooth.

They were in sabotage Louise mode. It should have been a ballroom dance.

She should have had the waltz or as, Danny the cha cha cha! I'm not bothered by the end result, just didn't like the lead up to it! glad it's over in a way, normal service is resumed

Viennese Waltz.
Personally think American Smooths should not be chosen as re-do dances for anyone due to the potential similarity to show-dances. Much better to stick to one of the no lift 10 dances. |

Personally, I would like to see the judges pick skipped and have the couple choose both of the dances they would like to redo with the following rules: must be chosen among the 10 ballroom dances (so no AT, Salsa, AS, Charleston etc.), 1 standard and 1 latin. Together with the show dance it displays the versatility (or lack thereof) of the couple. I am on the fence, if you should add the rule that only dances which scored less than forty should be allowed, as I loved to see Doti's Samba again. |

How about doing a dance without backing dances or props? So no tables, swings, lamp posts etc etc.

She had some excellent dances, ones that really they couldn't do a noticeable improvement with...
Cha Cha was her chance to shine, if they had ditched the theme and went with traditional clothing it would have went much better - black on black was a huge mistake ![]() The improvement in placing & her beaming confidence was lovely though, much better then 1st time around

It's been redone in the final a few times as well - Alesha, Lisa, Natalie, Caroline and Mark - and for Caroline and Mark it was judges pick for both. I think she could have had better picks, but it wasn't unprecedented. |
