October 20, 20186 yr Author Yeah, the 10 was silly. Jay and Aliona's jive was a 10 - that wasn't :lol: Definitely a 9 though!
October 20, 20186 yr Also funny how Danny has dance training yet it's Ashley who get shit for it :') It'll be so tiring if, yet again, the male creeps up and wins because females get so much more hate on Strictly :drama: I think he'll really get up there as a contender as he's still got Charleston, Quickstep and potentially a jazz for couples choice which I can imagine suiting him. Ugh. Faye is stagnating a bit it seems, but her quickstep was so brilliant tbf.
October 20, 20186 yr Charles was brilliant, thought he should have topped the board over Danny tbh. It was really refreshing given it was a new style and he really took to it after hitting a block for a few weeks in a row.
October 20, 20186 yr Omg Charles *.* was NOT expecting that based on what we've seen so far from him lmao. This sounds awful but I find Danny and Amy very annoying...:lol: he's so smug and she's just annoying on ITT etc, can't deny them that Jive though! I think the contenders for bottom two are Vick for sure and one of Seann/Lauren, not bothered about the first two but Lauren needs to stay :( her dance wasn't perfect but it felt really raw and emotional and what you want in a contemporary and she's lovely. AJ can stay too xx Voted for Lauren 2x and Ranj once.
October 20, 20186 yr Gonna guess Lauren and Vick dance-off with Vick going, hopefully Seann can go though! Lauren and Vick both have a lot more whereas I feel Seann peaked with his Paso because Katya choreographed it so well. Omg Charles *.* was NOT expecting that based on what we've seen so far from him lmao. This sounds awful but I find Danny and Amy very annoying...:lol: he's so smug and she's just annoying on ITT etc, can't deny them that Jive though! Nah totally get it too, I just can't take to him at all! At least with Joe last year he came across likeable and it was a journey, he's got the dance training as I said yet doesn't get the flack and he seems really smug about it. For him being trained though, he is really not great a lot of the time, this was the first dance of his I enjoyed but still found the 10 ridiculous.
October 21, 20186 yr Vick had so much more potential, Seann feels like he's peaked and I know it's about the dancing but it's really awkward seeing him and Katya dance as well.

October 23, 20186 yr Stacey keeps getting my least faves, bar her jive :lol: Her Samba was incredible though so I know she can knock it out the park anyway. Ashley's Charleston could really be one to watch, looking forward to that :wub:
October 27, 20186 yr omg the band is worse than usual :drama: :drama: HOW THE HELL DO YOU BUTCHER THRILLER?!?!?!
October 27, 20186 yr Ashley and Faye's performances were absolutely captivating! Especially the latter, thought for a second that she'd get 40 after Craig was raving about it.
October 27, 20186 yr tbh Ashley doing the Charleston was amazing but I think I would have given it a 9 bc the book bits were so distracting. Faye's jazz was the best hands down, Stacey and Joe were other highlights. Stacey's been improving so much and Joe was a nice surprise, I thought he'd be plateauing by now but he pulled a breakthrough moment out of the bag!
October 27, 20186 yr Results spoiler... Graeme and Oti and Seann and Katya in dance off. Seann eliminated. Expected really as he was crap tonight. Should have happened weeks ago! I actually love Faye on this. Her jazz dance was AWESOME. Put me in mind of Bob Fosse/Sweet Charity. Loving Ashley and Joe too.
October 28, 20186 yr Yet to watch the whole thing but just peeped Stacey, Faye and Ashley's dances, loved them all! Stacey has got such a charm about her, she might not quite be as technically gifted as Faye or Ashley but she always immerses herself in the character and she's such a joy to watch, without sounding like a cliche X Factor critique she's what the show is about. She's neevr danced before but you're seeing her improve week on week, from getting 5s and a few weeks ago to 8s and 9s now and really posing a challenge to a popstar and a trained dancer of 30+ years! You can tell her partnership with Kevin is really strong too, they just totally click and he knows how to choreograph a routine to get the best out of her and show her personality even if the technique might have usually brought her down - her samba showed that especially. Personality and character go such a long way on a show like this, you can be as technical as you like but it can be boring to watch if the pro doesn't choreograph a fun and engaging routine and the celeb doesn't have that natural charm. But Ashley and Faye were just astounding, they both fully deserved their 10s. The former was so sharp and on point and didn't miss a beat despite how fast it was plus the characterisation was so charming, and Faye absolutely nailed the first ever jazz routine on Strictly, it was so cool, stylish and smooth, with such an intuitive flow it was like she was the pro. I couldn't take my eyes off of her and that's a major feat when she's dancing next to Giovanni :wub:
October 28, 20186 yr Heard Nicole Sherzinger had a diva moment and told the presenter to get away from her!
