I thought she was grossly overmarked for her jive - she could barely lift her feet at times
Me too! I was fully prepared to like it; I thought the clean kicks and bounciness would suit her – but it was laboured and heavy. I really think I was watching a different dance to the judges.
I didn't mind her foxtrot but it was a bit saccharine and I'm sure there was a dodgy bit when she wandered off on her own doing some half-hearted posing.
Mollie was shite. Sorry Mollie, but it's true. I too think AJ might be gay.
Gemma's rumba was quite good but I agreed with Craig that the leg and hip action didn't flow through into the upper body and arms. Her tango was dull, I thought.
Alexandra's waltz was pretty and I loved the frock with the marabou trim. Again, the judges (and this thread!) were watching a different dance when she did her salsa; I thought it was messy and too lifty. I loved the cherry-red outfits though and I think Gorka looked hot as fuck this week.
Joe's AS was good. Wasn't sure about his AT. I think he's a bit tubby to pull off the tucked-in boring shirt with jeans thing; he looked like some bloke who has to find smart-ish clothes for work and cobbles something together and doesn't iron them properly. Shallow of me, I know.
I thought his legs weren't great –he didn't point his toes much –and that last lift reminded me of a wheelbarrow race, and also made me think of someone mowing the lawn. I thought the hands-over-the-face thing was pretentious and Am-Dram, and at the end he just sort of stomped/stropped off.
He was probably the best of a somewhat underwhelming bunch, though. Strange semi-final.
I still think Gemma will probably go; I suspect Mollie crying will have given her a sympathy vote.
