Week 4: Comments

1) Aleesha and Matt - American Smooth
Not her best dance, and a bit of a weird raunchy ending, but one of the best dances of the night.

2) Gabby and James - Samba
OK Gabby, we know you can do a cartwheel. But please ask James to stop putting them in every Latin dance!

3) Dom and Lilia - American Smooth
I was going to say how sorry I felt for him for injuring himself. But then I saw he jumped on a mat deliberately - a bit stupid. But he kept his rhythm well. The judge's marks were a bit stingy.

4) Kate and Anton - Samba
Aww, bless her! She tried her best. But I think her injury and the choice of music (Dancing Queen as a Samba?!?!?) made it quite awful.

5) John and Nicole - American Smooth
I didn't understand this: I though Waltzes were in 3/4, not American Smooths! But John is definitely better at his Latin than his Ballroom, though you would think it would be the other way round.

6) Kenny and Ola - Samba
I think Kenny is trying so hard. He really wants to prove himself to Gabby, and Ola. He can't dance very well. And what I don't understand is that Len said it was his best dance to date yet his score was lower than his Week 3 Tango.

7) Kelly and Brendan - American Smooth
Oh... my... goodness! What on earth happened to her hair!?!?! I think this was a disappointing performance. As soon as they did the two lifts near the start, I knew he'd break the rules. Stupid man!!! And it soooo didn't deserve a 10!

8) Gethin and Camilla - Samba
What are the judges on about, "Where were the hips?" I saw them! You couldn't miss them!!! He did very well.

9) Letitia and Darren - American Smooth
Letitia is as camp as camp can be, but I think she did very well last night. Her smile can make anyone happy. Her best dance to date.

10) Penny and Ian - Samba
Woo! Penny is back! The judges didn't agree with me, though. It was much better than her Jive, and I think it deserved all 9s. If Kelly got a 10, then they deserved at least all 9s.

11) Matt and Flavia - American Smooth
Didn't like his hair, but the dance was alright. I didn't think it was the best dance on the night, but it was one of the best. A lot better than Kelly's attempt.

Who should go out? In my opinion, Kate. It's only fair.
