Kelvin could have gained a few points if he'd ditched the ugly denim jacket. Well it's hardly his fault the wardrobe department don't know what appropriate costumes should look like! Saffron really wasn't overmarked by much, Foxtrot is a very difficult dance and her technique was excellent. Well I did laugh when the judges were praising how in synch they were and the slo-mo footage clearly showed they were nowhere near that level. As I said, overmarked. |

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Mike! His quickstep last week was amazing! Admittedly he isn't the whole package yet, but his footwork is compact and clean (at least what we get to see of it with the camerawork). Admittedly this hasn't translated to his hips and tummy, but he's giving it his all. I'd like to see his next ballroom dance, which I think might be more his forte.

I was thinking what if the Judges dressed up as Zombie versions of some of our Politicians for the Halloween show. They could be politicians past or present. Motsi as a black female Boris why not have some gender neutral colour blind casting. Craig or Shirley as Mrs T or Theresa May or do Shirley as Jeremy Corbyn. Craig could do Rees-Mogg. Do Shirley as Nicola Sturgeon, Motsi as Jo Swinson or Dianne Abbott and Bruno as Arlene Foster or John Bercow.
You could see the switchboard being jammed!

Halloween Show is always one of the series highlights and no doubt the makeup and costume department will come up trumps again.
Could be an interesting elimination tonight. Mike is clear favourite to go followed by Viscountess Emma but then Catherine is 3rd favourite to go. I'd have thought she'd have a good voting block and Johannes has been one of the revelations of the series as a dancer and for his gloriously camp persona.

Mike , the little chap with the huge opinion of himself? That one? Don’t like him. Halloween is problematic for me because I’m not a fan of the 'festival' at all, on any level. I think it is commercialised, crass and frankly a distortion of any real faith and disrespectful to boot. Moving on, the costumes often obscure the dancing. And with the current level of poor camera work, you can’t see their bloomin' feet.
Go on, hate me.
Of course I shall be watching avidly and voting.

You can't tango to Bach. And on the basis of this Anton and Emma can barely dance

She won't be getting 9s off this flat footed effort.

Chris is a trier. Not much skill. But entertaining

Too much faffing at the start of that Jive. Choreography was weak

Tip for contestants. Don’t try to make the judges interview into a comedy ‘moment’. 🤫

Clumsy and clunky. The tango can be more rigid but this is too wooden

Don't know about that Paso. Awful vocals. Bad wig. But some good foot work.

She is making lots of mistakes in this cha cha. Lacking a lot

Great foxtrot when they got into the dance proper.
She is classy

Another bad music choice for a tango. The flying was pointless.
He was completely overshadow by Oti.

Kevin showed he is human and can make mistakes. The choreo was not impressive. Not enough dance content.
She did well to cope with the change of partner. But it wasn't great choreo whoever ended up dancing it

Addams family number was the hit for the evening of me - brilliant performances, choreography and a big whiff of nostalgia for me.
I could see Catherine being in the bottom two, unless she's got a huge fan base. Just not memorable - she hardly ever captures the dance. Some of the concepts like the rabbit and cards were quite strained.

I think there’s too many couples now who are just ok and in the middle, often not very memorable. Not a great week overall. I thought Alex did very well with the last minute change of partner, she didn’t seem fazed at all. Fair play to Kevin for stepping in at the last minute. Chris may not be the best dancer but is always entertaining. Shame for Will having to miss this week, I hope he’s back next week. Mike had too much walking round and not enough actual dancing.

What with all the tangos? What about a waltz, an American smooth or someat other than a tango or a cha cha cha of which i am heartily sick.

It was an unbalanced programme in terms of dance choices. But also a bad programme in terms of the music chosen for those dances (and with some of the singing that went along with them - particularly for Small Town Boy - which is one of my fave songs of all time)

Yeah, I noticed it's been a little tango heavy and even some non-tangos were were Tango-ish/Tango-lite.
