Strictly My Views Part 7

Before we start, we must first express our sadness at the events over Friday, and the devastation left in its wake. Too complex to begin to fathom the whys or where fors. But let us hope that the bereaved find peace soon. It does show an irony to the Friday the 13th. That date being called unlucky due to the round up of the knights templar many years ago.

And so onto the Strictly Night of Dance, the prelude to Blackpool.

We kicked off with Anita and Gleb dancing the Quickstep. A really good effort absolutely packed with content and talent. I enjoyed this dance immenseley and felt they did it justice.

Jay and Aliona danced the foxtrot. Did I mention how gorgeous Aliona is? Anyway, this was a simply perfect foxtrot right up to the time he tripped near the end. I felt he was in line for 10’s across the board to that point. Such a shame, He had made an effort to express emotion through his face, yet you can still see that he works so hard on perfection, the dance can be called clinical. Does that make sense. Almost too good.

Jamelia and Tristan into the samba. Once again, I have to say I dont like Jamelia. I think her performance will put her into the dance off with Jeremy. There was nothing of note in this dance for me. Sadly!

Helen and Aljaz tango. I discussed today, with my dad, that I felt they were not good enough for the final three, but this was a great dance. Although, I did not enjoy the music on this one.

Katie and Anton danced a rumba. Now, I feel slightly effeminate here in saying, she had a beautiful dress with an amazing colour in the backline. I know I shall take a ribbing from my workmates for that. She danced really well and Anton choreographed really well.

Kellie and Kevin were on a samba to some really funky music which for me did not work. The dancing was good, but the music was not in keeping. She had some great hip action and an amazing tummy. Good work Kellie.

Peter and Janette were dancing the vienesse waltz. He did a great job, but he just doesnt carry the subtleties of the dance well.

Team GG danced my favourite the charleston. Simply amazing job. She threw herself into the lifts and the pace and range of her steps was phenomenal. I note with interest that anyone dancing this dance scores higher typically. Perhaps because it is as fun dance.

Lastly we had Jeremy dancing the quickstep. He is clearly improving week on week, but he needs to be in the dance off, with Jamelia being the loser.

I feel the final three will be Team GG, Kellie and Kevin, and Anita and Gleb, With I think, now at this stage Kellie and Kevin winning. On a final note for today, the marvellous Im a Celebrity starts tonight. I love that show just as much, so happy days.
