Week 9
As our seven remaining
couples prepared to become six, and after last week triumphant Wembley visit,
it is becoming more and more difficult for our celebrities to blunder their way
through. This week also sees them all having to dance twice, one of which is a Swingathon
where all our couples perform at the same time for points and are knocked out
one by one to claim the highest score.
Anita & Brendan
Cha
Cha
C L A B Swing
Total
7 8 7 8 2 32
As Robin was off this week,
super Brendan steps in again to rescue another female celebrity in distress,
performing a great little cheeky Cha Cha, there were however quite a few heel
leads and even though Anita’s knee action was stronger than in previous
routines she still needed to straighten her leg on the weighted steps.
Holly & Artem
Foxtrot
C L A B Swing
Total
8 8 9 9 3 37
Their routine was clearly
choreographed to show Holly off to her best ability but the foxtrot content
left little to the imagination, the show girl elements were when Holly stepped
into her comfort zone and the music was more show show than quick quick slow.
Alex & James
Charleston
C L A B Swing
Total
6 7 8 8 5 34
Well Alex, you have again
upped your game and in my opinion this was you best performance to date, your
personality shone through and your storytelling deserved an academy award, but
obviously the judges did not agree with me and James’s comment when talking to
Tes was correct the Judges did score it very hard when you compared it to the
other Charleston.
Robbie & Ola
Samba
C L A B Swing
Total
5 7 7 6 1 26
It was so nice to see a Bob
Dale pinnacle step, The Big and Small being danced to start their routine on
Strictly, Robbie’s rhythm and timing have improved but his footwork does need a
lot of work, but another lively performance.
Chelsee & Pasha
Argentine Tango
C L A B Swing
Total
8 9 9 9 6 41
O.M.G! Chelsee if you
Argentine Tango routine does not get you in to the final I will show my
periodicals on the town hall steps, a very technical, extremely well
choreographed routine performed, for me perfectly and easily deserving of a
couple of tens, Craig’s comments about the couples frame was completely unjust
as the height difference does not allow the couple to take the correct stance.
Jason & Kristina
Charleston
C L A B Swing
Total
9 9 9 9 4 40
Jason’s performance has just
kept them in the competition especially after last weeks fluff, a great little
cheeky Charleston with some very well danced Charleston figures, this was
probably Jason’s best routine to date, but I do not think it was any more
impressive than Alex & James’s. Do you agree?
Harry & Aliona
Quickstep
C L A B Swing
Total
9 10 10 10 7 46
One point off perfection! A
lively Quickstep with good technical content, fluidity and musicality but Craig
was correct, Harry does have a really bad sickle on his left foot which makes
him dance pigeon toed and his left arm was a little to straight for me, but it
was a very good energetic routine.
Swingathon
It was very difficult to compare
all the couples at first because of all the camera angles but I do agree
completely with the order of the final three, Alex & James, Chelsee &
Pasha and Harry & Aliona.
Harry & Aliona 7
Chelsee & Pasha 6
Alex & James 5
Jason & Kristina 4
Holly & Artem 3
Anita & Brendan 2
Robbie & Ola 1
Sunday Results Show
A fabulous Ballroom segway
from Brendan, Natalie, Pasha, and Katya to open the show and an unforgettable
show stopping Viennese Waltz from Anton & Erin, but Holly & Artem and
Anita & Brendan in the bottom two this week either of them could have left
this week but we will see Holly & Artem dance again next week, but we will
miss you Anita you have done yourself proud and we are all proud of how far you
have come, thank you.
