Well that’s one of my dance-off possibles saved by the public, could Laila be in trouble this week? Either way I think they’ll save her till the bottom three.

As expected!

Out of these two I think Phil will be the one going home, assuming Ricky can make the Viennese a little smoother this time.

A nice performance from Phil & Katya, let’s see Ricky’s response.

Seems smoother this time, but still too skippy. Not quite as dynamic this time and I think Ricky could be in trouble.

It’ll be a close call and I imagine it will be a Len decider tonight.

2-1 to Phil, then Len votes for Ricky so Phil gets sent home, the right decision I feel.

Do you agree with the decision?

1. 35 points – Ricky & Natalie
1. 35 points – Ali & Brian

4. 31 points – Phil & Katya
5. 30 points – Chris & Ola
6. 29 points – Ricky & Erin
7. 22 points – Laila & Anton

A week where I’d have marked the top two quite a bit lower than they received from the judges, and personally really didn’t like Natalie & Vincent’s Foxtrot.

My bottom two would be Phil & Natalie (I think Laila will get the sympathy vote), but I think there could be a surprise in store this week!

What do you think?

Good to see Ricky gets the arms correct this time, and dances better than earlier.

A better performance too from Craig but no question that it’s his swan song and i’m predicting a 4-0 form the judges.

4-0 it is. Craig got his dream of getting to Blackpool but it would’ve been a travesty if he had got any further.

A much better week for performances than last week (barring Craig I’m afraid).

I think the bottom two this week could be Phil and Craig…

Needs to relax the shoulders right from the start. Looks to have lost his timing just before going into the sliding doors.

Hip action is ok but could do a lot more. Not a bad performance but I think only 7’s though – apparently he’s Bruce’s favourite.

Judges scores: CRH 6, LG 8, AD 7, BT 7.

With a chance to dance in Blackpool at stake who’s going to be fighting for their place this week?

Are we going to see any shocks this week…

As predicted Craig has been saved for Blackpool (though it’s likely he may go out in his home town unless there is significant improvement!)

Well done Jade & Ian, I bet that’s a relief after last week.

Again as predicted Ricky Groves has been saved by the audience, though obviously I was wrong about Natalie potentially being in the bottom two. I still think Phil will be saved so this could be a shock week ahead.

…and there’s the confirmation.

So a definite shock in store with Zoe and Ali both ending up in the bottom two. Based on scores earlier in the night I think Zoe will be going home, though it’s a shame either of these were in the bottom two.

Leaderboard is as follows:

1. 39 points – Ricky & Natalie
2. 35 points – Jade & Ian
3. 33 points – Ali & Brian
4. 33 points – Laila & Anton
5. 32 points – Zoe & James
6. 30 points – Natalie & Vincent
7. 30 points – Phil & Katya
8. 29 points – Chris & Ola
9. 24 points – Craig & Flavia
10. 24 points – Ricky & Erin

For the most part I found this to be quite a disappointing week, though Ricky was fully deserving of the 10’s he received – as I said in my critique it was incredibly difficult to find any fault.

I feel a lot of the celebrities have stagnated in recent weeks and will need to seriously improve if they have any hope of getting further.

Each week this bottom two gets harder to call but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Chris Hollins and Natalie Cassidy in the bottom two (I just think there’ll be more public support for the other three near the bottom)

Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Tango https://learndance.co.uk/2009/11/01/phil-tufnell-katya-virshilas-tango/ Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:05:00 +0000 http://blog.want-to-dance.co.uk/?p=320 A dance that requires passion and control, and absolutely no hip rolling!!! Can Phil cope…Phil needs to keep the bum in, it does appear to be protruding throughout, and this is also resulting in a slight hunched over frame. An ok performance that should easily get 7’s.
