I thought Kelvin's showdance was a bit rubbish: messy, too fast, cynically full of the moves that Oti knew people would like to see again. His rumba was massively overpraised. He looked like a plank. They usually get criticised in the rumba if they don't achieve continuous movement, but he kept striking lines with an arm flung out and staying there stiffly, but they didn't criticise that
And his samba was messy too.
Karim's QS was nice and his jive exceptional, but the contempowaft was wet and irritating.
I may be alone in having enjoyed Emma the most! Her Charleston was outstanding, her VW beautiful in my opinion, and I quite liked the showdance, although she did look a little hesitant; I think she was worrying about the stairs/lifts/canes.
Shirley is unprofessional and horribly biased and Motsi is a shouty waste of space. Craig is the only one who even bothers trying to give meaningful comments or marks any more.
Hated the X Factor-style introducing all the finalists in their own little pods thing. Really tacky and desperate.
I love Strictly but Christ, this series tested me.
