ITT with Hamza and Jovita interesting. Jeanette said, "Your samba was not your usual carnival style samba. You went for something totally different. What made you want to put your own stamp on it?"
Er, since when did celebrities get to choose their own music? Jowita struggled to answer the question. Said it was a quiet number dedicated to everyone they had lost. Eh? You were grinning from ear to ear during that samba, my lovely. Then discussion of their score of 36 and whether they feared they would be in the dance off (answer, YES). Next, she's asking Jowita whether she was disappointed not to get a 10. Again, she says some odd stuff about the deeper meaning of the dance for the both of them and not being focussed on scores.
Methinks the producers have sent them out as some sort of arse covering exercise (the producers' arses, not Gorka's) to say that the stitch up with that music, and the subsequent odd scores that didn't match the comments, were just fine and dandy. Because all that mattered to them in the quarter final of SCD was their chance to do a really out of kilter samba* that had a deeper meaning for them to honour the "people they lost" . As opposed to just doing the hairy old chestnut of an all out party samba, that brings down the house - as these two are so capable of doing - and getting that much coveted 40.
*Their samba was stunning, Imo, but only on repeated viewing. As an "on the night" performance, it was just not what is expected of a samba, and therefore inevitably disappointing.
