I’ve been watching slightly behind so saved comments til near the end
Karen and Carlos - loved the foxtrot, proper Fred and Ginger style. (I’d also be happy for her to win) Badly undermarked compared to some of the following dancers with sevens
Harry andKaren - for a week r4 rumba I enjoyed it and open shirt is appropriate for the rumba . Nice to see harry using something other than his muscles
Vicky and Kai - samba was total fun even with the car wash trousers. Much better than last week
Stefan Diane - gobsmacked at her agility at 6 (?) months pregnant but dancers are staggeringly fit. Stiff from Stefan and totally overmarked
Lewis Katy. Long gap before the dance started I though. Beautiful and I’d love to see Katya with a winner who isn’t a ringer to show what a great teacher/choreographer.
Jimmy and Lauren - loved it. I have a good few surinamese friends and my gods can they party. Even with the errors he recreated a Surinamese party full of joy and welcome. Jimmy isn’t the best dancer but I love watching the “jimmy”s develop through the series. Lauren should always be partnered, she is amazing. .
George & Alexis. Weird music for tango. Has George danced before or is he really this good from scratch? If so I’m looking forward to him progressing.
La Voix Aliaz. I hated everything about it. The awful costuming, awful music and really awful theming/choreography. I would totally give La Voix a 10 for the weekly reviews of Tess’s outfits but that dance was dreadful. However La Voix has a big following which will keep them safe I suspect.
Loved Balvinder and Julian - I love good Spanish music and styling and loved her attitude after last week. My jury is out on Julian.
Alex & Johannes. Love the song, loved the choreography and beautiful dancing. I really like Alex and Johannes together. But gods Shirley is cringemaking and surely it wasn’t a 10. Its just too early to be bringing out the 10s.
Chris Nadia - well, Nadia was good. Poor Chris, he seems to be working really hard but those hips don’t want to play. Ballroom is usually better for the non dancing men in the early weeks.
Amber and Nikita. I love the Argentine Tango and I enjoyed the dance but a total ringer.
