Well I think the scores all basically but ensure that Claudia is in the dance off this week….that rumba wasn’t great and I agreed with the 8 but more on that later since I think each of them except for Kevin and Louis had an overscored dance. My rankings are: 1)danny and oti: second dance was great. Perfection in my opinion. His salsa on the other hand I think was overscored. Finale bound for sure. 2)Kevin and Louise: I think the scores were right for the samba but underscored for the tango. Also I think her and Latin dances where it’s fun ends up a bit awkaward to watch sometimes. Nonetheless, I think she is finale bound becuase she just owns that dance floor. Now this is where it gets down to splitting hairs for me. 3)ore and Joanne: that tango was overscored I think. Should have been all 9s. First dance was scored right though. My issue with him is that the judges (and I feel bad for saying this) seem to like him a lot better than the viewers. 4)Claudia and A.J.: perfect example of she has done everything right but that rumba I think the 8 was right but her other dance was great. Saying that, fans seem to love her so maybe/hopefully she isn’t going home.
Thanks Vin! I haven’t had time to watch the show yet, but, I saw Danny and Oti’s “Misty Blue” dance and they were so beautiful!
This was another outstanding episode of Strictly. I keep saying that Danny is one if not the best male dancer I have ever seen in any rendition of the DWTS franchise. I am unhappy that they overscore Ore for some time now and that they nitpick on Claudia, which may eventually lead to her downfall. But any of these couples are finale-worthy, so anyone who is leaving tonight will be a big miss and will leave a hole in the finals.
Danny and Oti:
They are such a beautiful couple and Danny is such an awsome dancer. Their American Smooth wasn’t anything but a 10. Darcey Dear, I know you favor Ore cause you do this for weeks now, but a 9 here is a shame. The smootheness of the movement and the easiness of the lifts – wow. The Salsa waa on point and Danny moved like a pro, he has great rhythm. Some of his steps and turns looked like a pro’s and the lifts were grande.
Kevin and Louise:
These two have been great for weeks now but they weren’t living up to it fully during semi finals. The Tango was good and most of the movements were allright. They wore some horrible costums for what sake’s ever. The Samba (which showed another set of bad costumes, especially the head piece) was allright but it wasn’t outstanding in my book. Kevin usually showcases his partners and puts in some extra twists and I was missing this in their routine. Some vague attempt of a samba roll didn’t help and the ending was anything but spectacular.
Claudia and AJ:
I really enjoyed that performance and the beautiful lines they created. It was full of emotion and the costumes were to die for including Claudia’s lipstick colour :). She is so young that she can’t have the emotional depth of a more mature dancer but she did great. No, this wasn’t a 10 but it certainly wasn’t an 8 either Craig! The Quickstep was fireworks. That is when SCD is at its best. They take some proper music, not some off the charts randomly made-to-Quickstep-song and they create atmosphare. Add two powerful dancers and lovely choreo and I am sold completely. The pace was unbelieveable and it was actually unbelieveable that this did not get a perfect score. But well of course Darcey had to hold it back to push Ore and Craig is just Craig 🙂
Ore and Joanne:
The Quickstep was a gem. Very fast, very clean, it had all the elements and it was certainly a 9 or a 10. An 8 seemd rather low. The AT on the other side was overscored in my book. It was a good dance but a lot of the action was on the pro’s side. Ore’s movement wasn’t precise enough at times. I would have given it a 9, while the overall scoring was a 10, Craig gave a 9.
Claudia and AJ are down at the leaderboard and might go against Louise. Louise and Ore ara favored by the judges so Claudia will be toast. Danny would also beat her in the dance off if it was him against her.
I think Danny is the best dancer but I guess the pimping/pusahing goes in another direction…
I love Danny and Oti. I am absolutely mesmerized by Oti and Danny ain’t so bad either!! I had a feeling Claudia would be gone. For some reason, I’m just not “connecting” to her. She moves really well but she kind of bores me. Just my opinion of course…
