With only a few weeks left, let’s enter into the kaleidoscopic world of Strictly Come Dancing with its classy glamour, exquisite outfits, exciting music and amazing dancing. Celebrities, new to professional dancing, each have an experienced dancer to teach them various routines, week by week, to enable them to compete against each other, as couples.
Louisa from Eastenders and her partner Vincent were the most impressive competitors for weeks but now have serious competition from Ray and Camilla, Emma and Darren (who in my opinion have been over marked and favoured by the judges) and the incredible Mark and Karen who have WOWED us in the last two weeks with their dynamic, passionate performances. They leave us wanting to see more and more of them and make the waiting of a week, seem like a life time.
At first I thought the judges were mean with their points to Louisa (and remarks of her lacking passion) but when compared with Mark and Karen, I had to agree that the point distribution was fair, even though Louisa took offence as she stormed off to her dressing room. I am sure she will be bouncing back to impress us all, as in the past. Both couples danced the Salsa which has been introduced for the first time as part of the dance routines expected from the competitors,
Camilla and actor Ray swept us up into the romantic world of the Viennese Waltz as they glided across the floor with swirling skirt, arched backs and variety of graceful steps. The choreography was highly praised by the judges for Karen and Martins routine as they thrilled us with their very sensual dancing, two flames lighting up the dance floor.
Jan and Anton were voted out this week and have left us on a high, on the one hand (Jan’s best performance to date) and a low for her outburst of ‘ I hope you are happy’ to the judges, when she had to leave. Not good Jan. The judges points for their dance was fair, which Jan was most upset about as she is expected better, as improvement is expected each week so the marking becomes stricter. The right couple were voted out.
After bad boy Brendan’s head-on encounters with the judges over the past week or two (proud of you Brendan and am very much on your side as you brought out valid points against the obvious favouritism shown towards Emma and Darren and poor points for others, out of keeping with overall point distribution) we saw a very subdued Brendan. For the sake of his partner Claire I should think as they did get a ‘hammering’ from the judges, the UNTOUCHABLES.
What a pity the public cannot vote certain judges out or ban them from judging for a week or two. The outbursts of temper and deliberate spitting out of lower points than deserved, does not make a good judge. It makes a bully and should not be allowed. Do we need to retain our whistle blowing referee, Bruce Forsythe, or can we have a pleasant competition without scathing and derogatory remarks. So much laborious work is put in by the participating couples only to receive rude remarks of a personal manner. Come on judges, with your vast knowledge and experience, you can do better than that. Give CONTSTRUCTIVE criticism. Resulting in .
Strictly Come Dancing improving week by week, as the dancers are encouraged and shown appreciation for their highly entertaining, admirable performances.
