I expected more from these 2 and was lookinf forward to an up tempo, flavoured dance like their jive but it seemed a bit slow and held back for my liking.

Agreed, was expecting to be amazed but did nothing for me. I thought Carol and Matt were better and deserved to finish above them.

i think they would have been better with faster music, still pretty good, but it was lacking a certain something

Overall I think this is the most disapointing dance i've seen from these two and i was really let down, i don't hink that the song helped the routine at all they should've used a track like their jive one with more of a beat and rythem to it.

If they'd concentrated on trying to make it a much more 'fun' bouncier salsa (like their jive) they would have done so much better. I don't think she was wholey comfortable with being really sexy.. and didn't really pull it off.

I loved their song! I have to agree with Arlene, I thought she had the chemistry, but Vincent didn't for some reason... I did think that Carol and Matthew were better

How *DARE* Arlene slag off Vincent's dancing.. Matt & Carol deserved way more marks than them though.

Carol & Matt's Strictly Story so far, I'm afraid

I know. It's so damn irritating.

As irritating as the judges

I actually really enjoyed their performance!

I felt bad for her in the backstage clip. I really like them both. And their dance was good!

Louise came across as a sullen little madam tonight. She was as bad as Ruby!

Louisa lets herself down i think...when things are good and the Judges are all full of praise she is all sweetness and light, but when they don't do as well as they could and the Judges are a bit more harsh on them, she can't take their criticism well and goes off on one. I know she's young but she needs to learn to take the rough with the smooth.

I loved their dance and to me she was just frustrated at being told she and vincient had not put much effort into their routine [when to me she and vincent had]

I agree with Cazzbar about Louisa being a sullen little madam tonight. I think she plays on the fact that she's only 17 and it bugs me the way Bruce and Bruno keep talking about how young she is. If she's old enough to be on the show she's old enough to take the criticism that the other dancers put up with. She irritates me.

I actuslly think what really upset her were the comments about her being really young again. I think it really annoys her, which is hardly surprising. It must be like going out with your older brother's friends, trying to look cool in front of them, but having people mention you're his sweet little sister all the time

I think she is so used to be praised in every show that the judges remarks may well have brought back down to earth. I still can't warm to her,

She's an ACTRESS for goodness sake, that's no excuse

I'm actually coming to bat for Lousia tonight, i really liked their dance and thought they pulled off sexy very well, ok it could have been more up tempo but that was the choice of music and routine that was at falt, not Lousia. Ok i've backed her up a bit i can go back to the karen and mark worshipping

She maybe an actress but she is being herself on come dancing [not a made up person]

Kinda agree- she had no trouble sucking face with Juley in EE, even though the mere thought of her trying to do "sexy" is rather an uncomfortable thought. Sorry in advance if this causes any offence but she still looks like a little girl playing dress up - the sexy outfits do nowt for her.

The point is that she needs to adopt a persona to suit the role she plays in the dance be it Ginger Rogers in the quickstep or whatever. Even the sportsmen have got that bit of it sussed !

Was disgusted at what she said to him. He and Matt are the most qualified out of all the male pros to do the show in terms of professional achievement and she actually insults both of them. In one night, strange.

She didn't insult Matt Cutler...she was talking about Matt Dawson when she was judging Carol, Matt C was joking when he pointed to himself saying "me?"
