Shiny new thread.

Anneka is one of the few celebs I recognise this time though and she's trying

Thanks Grouchy
You’re very clever!

What is she doing with her legs?

Kev resorting to his usual tactics of gurning and leaping round his partner like she's a tree

Just snorted reading this. It's so true

Can't warm to her, I think it's AJ, never stanned any of his pairings

They are SLAUGHTERING this song!

s it me, or is AJ maturing and getting a bit...sexy?

Just you

well, I quite like her . Best paso of the night , but in truth , it wasn't a high bar was it?

I did not hate that as much as I thought I would.

I actually really loved that, and the singer did a decent job. The music was surprisingly good for a moody paso.

I liked the theme of that dance

That wasn't half bad! I liked the music and there was a lot of content. There might have been a couple of timing issues though

She seems to be wearing higher heels than is usual, quite hard to dance in I would have thought.

A.J slipped

I've never been keen on AJ but I liked Claudia Zaher few years back and

She didn’t dance it brilliantly but I thought the music theming and choreography came together pretty well.

Yes Zoid the singing was utter dirge

AJ is far too young to be sexy!

I thought she did a fair job with that.

They're destroying this song for me.

DESTROYING IT!

Lorde's cover of the song is very slow and atmospheric. It's really very good; I love covers that change the feeling of a song that much and make it a very different beast.

Thursday Heh. Lorde's a Kiwi and we tend to follow what famous Kiwis are doing as if it's our own family.

Shirley seems to be making a point of saying "as a non-dancer..."

Well quite, Grouchy and she never seems particularly happy...is there something you want to tell us??

(I spent approx 5months in NZ a thousand years ago and like to think I’m the resident expert in my circle )

I actually think it's important to be pointed out the never danced are massively disadvantaged by the ringers
