Week 8 Round Up: Strictly Come Dancing

 Christine and matt

Right I’m getting really annoyed now because no-one is wowing me on Strictly Come Dancing! I’m sorry but there it is.

There were three couples all tied in first place tonight; Lisa & Brendan, Cherie & James and Tom & Camilla.

I really do think John needs to go; Len is absolutely correct when he said that if a good dancer goes tonight over him then it would be a travesty.

There was high priase for Lisa; Len said she was the most improved celeb in the whole competition; she recevied four 9s for her gorgeous Viennese Waltz (for God’s sake smile Brendan). I got the impression they were expecting 10s didn’t you?

I loved Tom and Camilla’s Quickstep and thought Tom’s solo tap routine was Fab U Lous.

I feel very sorry for my girl Jodie; the Samba is so not her dance. I hope she can come back next week though.

The surprise of the night for me was Christine and Matt; I absolutely loved their Jive; they were my fave tonight.

Cherie was back on form with a super Waltz and Austin and Erin took a dip with their questionable Rhumba.

I really enjoyed Rachel and Vincent’s American Smooth; but Arlene is right, Rachel does need to connect more through her eyes.

Heather and Brian performed an OK Tango but she looked a bit stiff; maybe the pressure of being in the dance-off three times is really getting to her.

    Heather did not have the power I expect in a dance like that. It is sad to see her go before John though. She did not deserve that. I am not a fan of Lisa. She is too fake I think. I also think the judges were spot on about Austin. His upper body is not wide open and strong and straight. (I am Dutch so excuse my English ;) )
    I thought him and Tom would be the final 2 but now i am not so sure.

    Love this season so much more than last year. it is more exiting. No idea who is going to win. Although right now it looks like The British public will keep on voting for John. :-(

    For me, Christine was fantastic this week. I also liked Tom a lot, but Christine stood out. She finally seemed confident and really happy to be up there dancing. Great song , great lines, great smile and really entertaining! Well done Christine!
