I simply loved Rachel and Vincent American Smooth. I was most impressed by how amazing the choreography of the dance was and the lifts were great.

Vincent is very talented person, in all my time watching strictly I never knew you could choreograph the American Smooth to other dance styles. It’s fantastic to see something new from the pros and all credit to Vincent we saw that tonight.

Can I just add they were once again undermarked and not enough credit was given to that routine.

I thought they were fairly marked this week. There were mistakes that even I could see.

I did enjoy it a lot though. They have strung together a very consistent set of dances.

I don't like the quickstep so I didn't really take to this.

I loved it.....it was worth 4 9's as it was as good as Tom & lisa and better than Cherie and before I get jumped on I AM a Cherie fan and loved her waltz but thought Rachel and Vincent were the best this week.

They made a mistake on the lift i think thats why they were marked down however i thought it was a great dance. Great choreography from vincent

I agree, I think the choreography was fantastic. It's great to see a different style of AS.

It was fab but I think they were marked about right this week, unlike last week.

I really loved Rachel and Vincents AS tonight. For me it stood out from al the rest. Fantastic choreography from Vincent.

Better choreography this week from Vincent, but something still felt wrong about it, probably because the lifts looked quite awkward, but it was OK. I preferred her original Quickstep to this QS style American Smooth tbh.

I missed Tom dance but I believe they were just as good as Cherie and Lisa in terms of the peformances.

But Vincent choreography excelled everyone else routines. I was very impressed.

can't put my finger on why i didn't like it ..

rachel and vincent, best dance tonight by far, and yet again undermarked!!!

I agree with you as Cherie fan. Lisa and Rachel were much better this week.



Really, I didn't see that.

Original and daring.

Dance of the night for me

That's the words I was looking for to describe their dance.

All part of the service sexy

Loved their dance it was great. But I didn't like the lift. Didn't really mean anything because the dance was so good. Loved the Quickstep Smooth was really good.

I thought Rachel & Vincent were absolutely brilliant!! Vincent's choreography was excellent it was pure Fred & Ginger - and what is Arlene going on about with regards to Rachel using her eyes - I seem to remember Arlene kept on about Louisa's facial expression as well - hasn't she noticed Tom's ?

Could always count on you sexy Stallion.

This was my dance of the night but I am sick of the SCD team saying that it was a brave new move in choreography to put in QS in an AS when Matthew choreographed Alesha's AS as a QS based smooth, same with Darren Gough in the Xmas Special.

It just wasn't an American smooth for me. I really didn't like it, and the lifts didn't work.

my fav dance of the night.

I don't think its toms face arlene atc look at, and it def isn't his feet!

it prob just wasn't the american smooth your used to seeing on strictly, it is actually not that unusual to do a quickstep smooth.

I enjoyed it. It was lovely and they danced it really well.

However, Rachel is one of my underdogs from last week, so I was rooting for her tonight.
