I think that dance-off deserved to be far closer than the clean sweep of votes for John suggests it was. Rhys was far more comfortable with his samba than John was in that jive, and I get so frustrated by Johannes inability to modulate his dancing to match his celeb. It actually makes him one of the weakest pros in teaching terms despite his undoubted ability as a dancer. He just can’t seem to help making it all about him.
That’s precisely what I thought. Apart from the fumble in the middle of Rhys’s samba - more Nancy’s than his - theirs was a more exciting, evenly matched and entertaining dance all round, whatever the imperfections, whereas John often looks as if he’s struggling to keep up with Johannes, never more so than in that dodgy jive; the so-called mirroring was poor to say the least. I’ve enjoyed j and j mostly, but based on that dance off, I think they should have gone. No conspiracy theories here, but it was interesting that Craig made that comment along the lines of “you should have heard what they really said” when they were discussing the judges comments about each of the celebrities, as if they’d kind of given up on Rhys already.
