Do we really care about your scores, when most people already know the result and realise the voting system is totally ridiculous. The best are voted off the worst kept in. End of story.
Your Scores - Sat 27th Oct 2007
2 of 2
Alesha & Matt - 9.
Doing her nan proud again, a lovely, well peformed routine. I think sometimes she just needs to maybe watch her footwork and her arm extensions a little, but it might just be nerves on the night.
Gabby & James - 7.
I didn't think she had a good samba "bounce" but it is very difficult to grasp, particularly with just a week to work on it and learn and perfect the rest of the dance too.
Dominic & Lilia - 7.
I think the routine could have been a little bit more polished in places, but a fantastic effort - and well done to him for keeping the lifts, even with his injured shoulder.
Kate & Anton - 5.
Technically, it was shambolic, but I loved it! It looked like Kate was having fun, which really drew me into the dance - I want to watch it over and over again!
John & Nicole - 7.
The posture went a bit downhill, as did some of the steps. But the AS is quite a hard dance to learn in a short space of time, I think, and I wondered if John would have faired better with the samba?
Kenny & Ola - 5.
Again, in places, rather technically shambolic, but also again, fun to watch, and a brilliant effort from Kenny. I preferred it to last weeks tango.
Kelly & Brendan - 8.
Even if they (he) hadn't broken the rules, I would have given them a 9. I didn't think it was deserving of a 10, although it contained good choreography on Brendan's part, good performance on Kelly's and the last lift was magnificent.
Gethin & Camilla - 7.
I thought it was fun, and I rather liked the hips. Still a little way to go before technical perfection, but nobody's perfect. 
Letitia & Darren - 8.
Like last week, Letitia looked like she was enjoying herself, which instantly drew you into the dance a bit more, with fantasitc choreography in places. After the disastrous first week for Letitia (and her confidence) I think the only way is up!
Penny & Ian - 7.
Not as pleasing as Penny's quickstep, but then not as bad as her jive. I didn't really feel a samba theme to the choreography, but liked the sixties references.
Matt & Flavia - 9.
The boy done good! A fantastic show, even in comparison to last week when he had improved. He should try and conquer his nerves a little now, because if he manages to pull off a performance like that again, he has little to be nervous about. (Good choreography from Flavia too!).
Oh, how I would love to be a judge ...
Thanks for this thread!

What am I going on about, I meant Arlene not Karen Hardy!
Just shows how much I watch the show.
Alesha & Matt - 9.
Lovely performance, entertaining. Do agree about her hold in some places, they could have been closer together.
Gabby & James - 8.
The "bounce" didn't work but she had the "performance" factor. A little more emotion could have been put in but a good performance
Dominic & Lilia - 7.
Needs to not look at Lilia's bum, and sort his timing issues. Some places unpolished but was great for doing those lifts, even though you could see the pain.
Kate & Anton - 5.
Technically it was a nightmare but she had the "fun" factor, which some couples lacked. I think its great that she's actually making the effort and triyng ot have fun.
John & Nicole - 6.
The only good thing about this was Nicole IMO. She kept it together and he slowly went downhill. Great effort though cos AS is a hard dance.
Kenny & Ola - 6.
Again he had "fun". Wasn't the best, the "bounce" wasn't really there and his hands looked quite awful at times. Great song choice by Ola and great routine.
Kelly & Brendan - 7.
Great routine and had all the performance but putting 3 lifts in spoilt it. It would have been great otherwise
Gethin & Camilla - 8.
He enjoyed it and I thought he had great hip movement and bounce. He did seemed to pumped up though, always room for improvement.
Letitia & Darren - 8.
Classy, stylish, bubbly and totally Letitia. Loved it.
Penny & Ian - 6.
I didn't feel Penny had the "bounce" and was just being carried through the routine by Ian. Good choreography by Ian but Penny just didn't seem to impress me tonight, her quicksetp was much better.
Matt & Flavia - 9.
FABULOUS!! The only thing that held him back was his nerves very slightly. Much improved and was a great routine by Flavia!

I'm very interested in what the Forumites think and how they would score the performances. It's nothing to do with predicting the actual results. I have been asked by several people to post my opinions too. Mostly I started the thread (and those last year) to give all of us the chance to write our own reports. When i read others reports it makes me think about the performances in a different way and how they are perceived by different kinds of people. I also usually surprise myself by the way I think about each routine each week.
Thanks to everyone who has posted their scores/reviews. I am VERY interested in your opinions!
If you're not interested then maybe you shouldn't be reading/posting in this thread
