It was so THEM. Gotta say well done Ian for that, and a brilliant track if ever there was one. I think despite her not feeling 100% she really seemed to enjoy it".

Question: Did the leapfrog bit at the end constitue a lift? Not that I'm complaining or being picky, and as to the routine being geared towards not having too many Jive steps in it, what would you have done if you'd been Ian?

She did well. Oh, and not wishing to be too critical of the OP, but was there a need for a new thread for this? The one mentioned above would have done. The board is getting a bit chaotic I feel.”

Nope, the leapfrog was a leap. No pun intended

Hear hear! About time we re-instated the fun element into Strictly.

I found it very entertaining and deserved the points scored or even a few more.

Ian hogged the close-up again. The man has a party every time he thinks of himself. And anyone who's really had 'The Flu' never forgets how bad it is - you don't leave the house and you certainly don't dance (or splutter over everyone in spitting distance).

I think that's a bit unfair....

You're obsessed with Rachel - this thread isn't even about her

I like Jodie but thought it was awful and very overmarked when you look at the marks of Austin, Christine and Tom.

Are you stalking me around the forums or something?

Couldn't take my eyes off Jodie's jive. it was not technically perfect, but it was very entertaining. Rachel's foxtrot might have had more precision, but a few times my eyes were wandering, and I was waiting for it to end.
