For a second there I thought Pasha was dancing with Kristina!!!!
A compliment for Pamella there then. Perhaps that is what Christine will look like in 25 years.

But they filmed it in November. Surely some decent celebrities must have been available? Melvin was rubbish and went out first round. Gethin is dull as ditchwater and I've had more than enough of Ainsley. No idea who Frankie Bridge is.

Poor show, BBC
You don't know who Frankie is? This your first year watching strictly??

Hopefully, she'll nail those lifts.

Could you just imagine this going on in Number 10 Downing Street?!

How is this a Christmas Song?

I loved Gethins routine! Chloe's choreography was fab and I really like her. She seems so much fun!

James Jordan back on BBC for a few seconds 😀
He would be more interesting than this load of Bargain Basement 'celebs'

I'll give this a 9.

Technically it could have been a little bit better but It's Christmas and I enjoyed it.

Ordinarily, this routine should have only got 33 MAX, but since it's Christmas, I think 37/38 would have been fair.

No use criticising the judging on this as there seems to be none!

Gethin is the sort of bloke who always loses out

Err considering it's the Christmas special I think they've done very well. Personally I like to see if middling dancers can do better, and seeing if the good one dancers can actually remember any of the dance training from their series.

But you seem to be moaning about something all the time, don't you.
It looks cheap. The xmas special used to include recent winners and runners up - that produced high quality dances, a real competition, and sometimes sorted out who was really better. This just look like nearly everyone in a recent top 2, and all the very top performers said no, and they didn't go to the other extreme and get some top celebs who coudl dance a bit already, and teach them a ballroom dance, either.

That was very funny!

I wonder whether Anton gets his first ten.

I guess that if its filmed in November, they can't really use any of the current season's celebrities because they've all got their hands full with the real thing. But surely they could have used people who had already gone out like Lesley Joseph rather than Melvin, and what about people from past years - other than the motley crew we've got?
