In fact, she plays it safe throughout and lets Brendan do the work so the judges have nothing to criticise her for.
I am sure you will come back with "oh come on, you can't seriously believe that", but I truly believe she is playing cautious and does nothing that is commendable because she sticks to quick technicalities and her partner to do the hard work.”

. Sorry you asked for it. You see I like this way of arguing far more than just saying that she dances like a walruss. Maybe you even have a point (I'm not technically experienced enough to decide on it). All I can say, that she is obviously sticking to the technicalities (to use your words) and that she is following Brendan in a talented way, whereas other celebrities haven't even mastered that much. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending her, but she has some talent (maybe due to her previous training, but that is another topic altogether). I do like John Barnes and I think that the judges have selected their favourites among the females already, but I still think her dance tonight was alright. Last week was not as good by the way, and he did throw her around a lot.
