Emma & Anton - Charleston
Chris & KAren - FT Alex looking forward to a party dance so assume Salsa |

By:
salsa or samba for Alex, I think it is safe to assume

Musicals week this week... consider us, well in!
(That’s a clue by the way) Hint from Chris, so sounds like it's Oliver. Didn't Kellie and Kev do a corker of an Oliver routine? |

By:
AJ seething. He has come across as a bad loser tonight
|
|
By:
Three years running he's been elbowed out with the samba. Understandably aggrieved, but that's the game they signed up to. Not helping his chances for next year if he remains signed!
|

By:
I didn't see it but surely it should make him determined to improve on the dance and beat the curse/stat.
Although tbf he didn't stand much chance with Saffron. Trouble is, most of her other uptempo/Latin dances have been pretty poor but way overmarked to keep her in the contest. Finally she was scored realistically. |

top one seems strange for a Samba, from the way it is performed in the film it seems it would be more apt for a Street performance.
Chris's seems too fast for a FT but ideal persona for him to play. Very traditional but also very predictable for Emma and Anton. Seems to be along similar lines to her Theatre Jazz and that was more style over substance so could go either way, a massive triumph or fall flat. Depends on the narrative of the whole show. Strange choice of dance for Karim after repeatedly getting stick for being fast and frenetic and packing too much in and surely they are going to have to do that all over again for this track which has been done to death on the show. Once again could be a massive triumph (or not). "That's when fast, frenetic and action-packed really works for you" and a 10 from Craig maybe. Kelvin's a bit too Disney for me. Wonder if he will be wearing a great big beast head. Assume a VW-based AmSm. |

Maths not Amy's strongpoint.

Karim is such a luvvie, not appealing. Needs to take some lessons in humility.
|

By:
I was going to post that re: Amy, Cider
|
|
By:
Indeed sq! Karim really needed someone to reign him in occasionally, but she's being indulgent as well. It's coming across very stubborn. Contrast to someone like Jay who gave the impression he was never able to accept how good he was.

By:
Yes, Amy seems like an over-indulgent mother with a spoilt child this series.

Karim & Amy
Jive amazing number, going to be fantastic dancing steps on his own very good natural jive action picking up his knees, flicks and kicks really good, tummy tucked under and knees up high, and lovely arch when he points his feet (no show of the routine with Amy, just Karim doing the basics and does look amazing) Alex and Neil Samba hope it's not a bad omen this doesn't look traditional some samba moves in there lovely action so far like to see a bit more rhythm in the body Emma and Anton Charleston really impressed right feel right face lovely flapper feel to it (Emma looking better than Anton) Kelvin & Oti AmSm(VW) prev VW was quite slow think this is a very fast VW and going to show Shirley what they can do lovely frame very strong lovely T shape head a bit left Chris & Karen FT not much FT in this so difficult to critique loves Chris and lots of synchonisation and he's loving it which is why everyone is voting for him Gold Star for Kelvin this week cos he loves his frame |
|
By:
loving Alex's attitude
|
|
By:
sounds like she wanted to dance to this track all along, wanted it for movie week but Neil said wait until musicals week so they apparently had some say in this.
Loads of extra dancers |
|
By:
Great songs this week for Emma and Chris. Very catchy singalong stuff which is what most will want to hear.
The other three I've never heard of them and I can't be the only one so surely not an ideal scenario to dance to a tune that many won't have heard of, have no idea where the song goes, can't sing along or tap their feet like we all do. IMO choose a song that everyone knows and that can only be a good thing so a plus for Emma and Chris with two classics. |

?? VW and Rumba for Chris so they all have different dances
|

By:
Could be. Would be 2 shockers for Chris
|
|
By:
lovely attitude Alex has. Neil in bits.
|

By:
The producers have got so slick at crafting the results and making it appear genuine.

VW and Rumba confirmed for Chris and Karen
|
|
By:
yep, 2 fairly positive critiques but nothing OTT for Chris and Alex. Then go crazy for the next 3 couples
|

By:
About time that Scott got knocked out. Long overdue.

Alex actually lasted one week longer than she should have done. She wasn't as good as Saffron or Dev but to be fair at the same time she's in a different league to the awful Chris so all in all she gained one extra week.
A good dancer but 7/10 all round is not good enough to win Strictly when there a couple of 9's still in in plus the 7 and a half that's Emma. Nice girl though, lovely smile so well done to her. |

A good thing for the Chris layers is in normal circumstances the last 4 would have been a public vote only so his poor judges marks wouldn't go against him as they don't count.
However with one dancer dropping out the final is now only three so next Saturday the judges scores do count. He must surely be bottom of the leaderboard (touch wood!) so who can he beat in the dance off when the judges can clearly see the other three are far superior to him. They should just let the judges alone decide who goes out every week then he'd have been gone about 8 or 9 weeks ago rather than him staying in and other decent dancers getting knocked out. He must be embarrassed surely to keep going through when he knows each week far better dancers are going home. He's got some neck I'll give him that. |

I've had £233 worth of losing bets on the HS as there were a few small arbs and another £25 on HS for Saffron to be TF at 10/1. Although another arb I had was £25 on Kelvin at 10/1 to win. Summing up as long as Chris doesn't win I win just over £1500. If Karim wins then an extra £250. Last year was about £2500 so I must be slacking! So there it is for you all in black and white. I shouldn't have to do this but every year even though I'm HONEST to the hilt even if it goes against one of my favourites there are some doubters. I also have been PMing (is that how you write it?) two major contributors to the forum and have been for many years and RIGHT FROM THE VERY START have told them exactly what bets I've had so hopefully ONE OF THEM WILL KINDLY COME FORWARD AND CONFIRM THIS PLEASE .............. just to shut the rest of the forum up once and for all. hmmmmmmmm! |
