Week 6: Result

Another shock bottom-two: Penny and Matt. I thought Matt would be the girl's heart-throb and would go to the final! And I feel so sorry for Penny.

Arlene saved Penny, but Matt was saved by the rest of the judges. Penny cried her way out of the competition.

Week 6: Comments

1) Gethin and Camilla - Vieniesse Waltz
Really good. Gethin is much better at Ballroom than Latin. A really good dance. Absolutely great!

2) Penny and Ian - Salsa
I'd hate to be with Penny at a party: Give her a party atmosphere and she goes wild! It was better than her Jive, though.

3) Matt and Flavia - Vieniesse Waltz
Not very keen on his dance. Definately nowhere near as good as he can be. A bit of a disappointment, really.

4) Kate and Anton - Salsa
Not their worst dance, but nowhere near as good as their Week 5 Foxtrot. Hate the song after playing and singing it. And not so keen on the outfit. But it was alright.

5) Letitia and Darren - Salsa
Not very impressed. Again, not so keen on the outfit. And Darren's Salsas are never that good: just look at Emma Bunton's! But I love her, and she did OK.

6) Kenny and Ola - Vieniesse Waltz
Awww, bless him! His best dance. Needs some timing work, but he did really well.

7) John and Nicole - Salsa
All I can say is "Wow!!!". I can see why Bruno saved him so he could see his Salsa. Amazing!!!

8) Kelly and Brendan - Vieniesse Waltz
I beg to differ with Craig: I didn't like the Paso Doble twist to it. I think Brendan did it so he could give the dance a saucy twist. Didn't appreciate it.

9) Aleesha and Matt - Salsa
One word: A-Mazing!

Sorry...

Have got behind updating. Am hopefully going to get fully up-to-date!

Week 5: Result

In the bottom two were John and Dom. This is John's second time.
All the judges saved John, leaving Dom to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

Week 5: Comments

1) Kelly and Brendan - Paso Doble
I think Kelly tried to show off too much this week, and her caping did her no good. I'm glad the judges showed this in their comments. May-be she will go out...?

2) John and Nicole - Foxtrot
Bless him! He has obviously trained like mad this week to get a good ballroom dance, and it paid off. Much better than his American Smooth. I think his Latin is much better, though.

3) Letitia and Darren - Paso Doble
Wow! I think was the best female Paso on the night! She is so camp, but I love her! Amazing!

4) Gethin and Camilla - Foxtrot
Through the weeks, Geth has always been in my top few when marking. He did very well tonight, and I think the judge's marks were too harsh. At least one 9!!!

5) Kenny and Ola - Paso Doble
I never thought I'd see the day when I saw a sequin-enstudded kilt! His best dance to date it my opinion. Sad to see him at the bottom of the table.

6) Aleesha and Matt - Foxtrot
Not the best choice of music, but the great dancers never seem to get great music for the Foxtrot ("Take Another Little Piece of My Heart" for Louisa and Vincent) but it was a great dance.

7) Dom and Lilia - Paso Doble
Not the best outfit in the world. I've also noticed that Dom seems to like pink: he has worn it/used it (on his cape) in his Jive, American Smooth AND Paso Doble. Lilia is a great choreographer and her dance was good, but Dom isn't the best dancer in the world.

8) Kate and Anton - Foxtrot
What a transformation! "From caterpillar to butterfly" as Len said (to Jason and Kylie in Week 2 in Series 1). It suited her, and it showed. And the fact that she had Mr Foxtrot as her partner helped. I hope she stays in.

9) Matt and Flavia - Paso Doble
Wasn't sure about the choice of music, but it worked well for their dance. It wasn't his best dance, but it was alright.

10) Penny and Ian - Foxtrot
As Len would say, "One word: fantastic". If Kelly's American Smooth deserved a 10, this deserved four 10s!!! Amazing. Very harshly marked.
