Ghastly costumes, nasty choreography, horrendous music, what can one say?

It wasn't that bad.

They were told from a score last week of 24 to add more filth, they do, and they get 21.

I was expecting something far better than that! What happened to the exciting routine???

There was certainly no salsa in there. I was disappointed.

I am a Brendan fan but feel like I must have blinked and missed the vital bit of dance!?!

Well, there wasn't a drop of salsa in that. Ok, two moves but that was it and Brendan was lifeless in his dancing.

Salsa is supposed to a connected couple dance. And there's no way you can be filthy when you are on opposite sides of the floor.

The filthiest salsa is when the couple never leaves each others grasp.

I didn't think it was good (Louisa & Vincent were more technical, Carol & Matthew were more fun, Mark & Karen were more both [I struggle with other Matt, so no comment]), but I think the marks & comments were a bit vindictive too.

I'm not sure about the leaderboard situation; I can't immediately think of a couple who "deserve" to be at the bottom more than they do.

Maybe he is wanting an early exit strategy

Even the Stiff necked and uninterested Rugby Player put more passion in his routine.

He has let Claire down bif style :yawn:

It was poor.....badly lacking in content.....but I'm sure Brendan will have his say on whether or not the imposed changes were to blame.

They had like what a few hours to change it, none of the others really had that much salsa in it, except M&K's, but because it's Claire&Brendan, it's "oh well he speaks his mind, let's not bother being nice"

It was terrible, they should go out tonight as Claire didn't really dance at all - a major disappointment I thought it was going to be HOT!

Why was Bruno spoiling for a fight with Brendan? He definitely wanted him to blow his top and then Tess goes and puts her foot in it

Then they call him "bad boy"

Ok the judges did ask for filth but there wasn't really enough salsa in it. Still enjoyed the performance though and don't think they should have been made to change it at the last minute.

I reckon that Claire and Brendan did tonight what Georgina and James were heavily penalised for in the first week.
All posing and no dancing.....there is only so much raunch we can take.
I like them as a couple, but imo, they were the worst tonight.

I haven't seen it as yet, but surely imposesd changes due to content are down to Brendan, he's done 4 series of this and should by now know what is acceptable family viewing on a Saturday night, he should never have put himself in that position - My OH can salsa with the best of them, and from the footage he saw, before the imposed changes, his main comment was ' I don't know what they're dancing, but it ain't Salsa'.

They were told to change it as it was too filthy.

All that says to me is that they had to tone it down, less hands on from what I saw from training footage not take out spins, drops, and hip movements.

This isjust another excuse from Brendan, easy to say we had to change it last minute and hope for a reprvive from the audience, which I hope not. Brendan has become too big for his dance shoes.

After Emma and Darren's scores where read, she turned to Brendan and asked him if he was ok with their scores

I was even looking forward to this and I'm not a Brendan fan (I loved Ray and Camilla and Carol and Matthew and Mark and Karen!) - but Claire shimmed a lot and there were barely any steps. I appreciate that they had to change it at the last minute but were where the underam moves, the steps etc? Surely if they were changing the 'raunch' (or toning it down to be more precise), then that didn't involvethat many actual steps???

It's a great shame.

The dance was awful, and her dress was hideous.

There really was not a lot of salsa in that routin at all. It was really poor! All they had to do was tone it down,not totally change it, and as the choreographer and experienced of four series, Brendan should know a really "filthy" routine would not be acceptable at this time of the evening. The poor routine is really down to him, I am afraid, and I ,too,think he let Claire down with that dance. Shame, I was expecting something really exciting!

Going by what they were saying on the BBC news early this morning the were told to totally change it yesterday morning

I understand that Brendan is upset by the judges comments and for the most part I can see where he is coming from. But I think that he needs to put all of that behind him and just let it go!

He keeps telling the judges to start concentrating on Claire, But he keeps stealing her limelite by acting like a big kid and getting stroppy.

Claire is giving her all in the dances and it's not fair on her to be stuck with Brendan as a partner.

She must be having an awful strictly experience !
