Jamie - Tango - loved the music. They sustained the mood well. It was pretty crisp. But far too much faffing at the start.
Was a good effort with some nice moments

Motsi has personally supervised the putting of a padlock on the shutters of her shop window in Germany and is back in some sort of Queen Ann style bustiere which looks like my Mum’s brocade cushion covers. Well done love!

Harvey - couple's choice - I found that quite emotional. A couple of timing blips but very slight ones. He is such a natural dancer. Great choreo

Ranvir - AS - well that was smooth. Ish. Light in terms of complexity. Limited footwork. Just dull. Lacked any real performance flair.

Bill - Jive - rather laboured. Some obvious mistakes. Hate the straddling move. Choreo wasn't the best. And overmarked.

JJ - VW - that was a genuinely emotional performance. Amy is a real star and looked wonderful. He danced cleanly. It was so well styled.
He deserves success.

Maisie - QS - once it got going it was ok. It was technically demanding. She did a decent job but still not engaging. I don't think she can do anything to win me over. Just don't like her performance style.

I enjoyed Maisie’s dance a lot. I hope she stays in. I think Clara and Ranvir will be bottom two.

At this point they might as well rename Couples Choice do what the hell you like and get over marked. Another instantly forgettable one tonight.
This has been a particularly dull series lacking memorable dances so great to see Masie break that trend with her fantastic Quickstep so of course it doesn't even get the best mark of the night. Shows what a traditional ballroom or Latin can still achieve despite the producers trying to minimise the number we actually see.
Probably Clara out tonight, hopefully JJ and Jamie join her soon.

Did anyone else pick up on Shirley's comments to Ranvir? "It's the quarter finals next week for everyone."
Either she misspoke, or that's the way the BBC has decided to deal with Nicola's forced withdrawal.

Either she misspoke, or that's the way the BBC has decided to deal with Nicola's forced withdrawal. They'll be six couples left next week and there will be four in the final so that makes it the quarter finals in Strictly terms. The original plan was five couples in the final so next week would still have been the quarter finals if Nicola had stayed in. Nothing has changed.

Right here goes... Clara - Jive - flat footed. Lacking bounce. Too many mistakes. She was defeated by the dance and it showed Booo!!!

Agree with reference to the couples choice, always seem to be over marked. Other were better this week, than HRVY.

I'm enjoying the dancing but the ghastly holograms were grim last night...oh that they just concentrated on the dancing.

That was the right result. She still didn't nail the jive second time round. It was better but still some errors and flat footed.

The production team needs to watch the show in a living room with a few fans to see what it looks like to them. The floor stuff is particularly galling. In this more intimate setting, less is more. Also can someone there please tell the cameramen that we like to to see the feet. Or we cannot understand what the judges are criticising.

A Chorus Line, Phantom, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Waitress and Little Shop of Horrors are the musicals being used for Musicals week this week.

Post by oxfordsimon on Dec 1, 2020 14:36:33 GMT
Jamie and Waitress are not scores that have gone much beyond a relatively small number of people so that might put those dancers at a bit of disadvantage compared to the more established shows.
I am struggling to thing what music from Phantom works for the Argentine Tango. That dance only works for me when the music is authentic. Phantom really isn't a Latin score!
