Strictly Come Dancing 2010

Week 10

The Quarter Finals, as we are delighted with a trip to the movies who is box office award winning and who is left on the cutting room floor? Big opening from the professionals, a little sporadic but it would have been better if the routines linked through more.

Scott & Natalie

Paso Doblé

Craig	Len	Alisha	Bruno	Total
8	9	9	9	35

00 severerern, eat your heart out. A Paso Doblé to the James Bond theme with excellently executed bum twizzles. This is the Scott we have missed over the last few weeks, very strong and passionate Spanish lines. I thought the music was difficult to keep the action strong, but I thought they did a brilliant performance.

Ann & Anton

American Smooth (Foxtrot)

Craig	Len	Alisha	Bruno	Total
2	5	4	3	14

I have to say this for me was Ann’s best dance to date. There were actually signs of dance! Well some of the time well executed held lifts, Ann was even rising on her toes at one point and even Anton did not look as if he had to drag her round half as much. It was entertaining but surely it must be time to leave on a high?

Matt & Aliona

Jive

Craig	Len	Alisha	Bruno	Total
8	9	9	9	35

‘Yeah Baby’ I loved the beginning especially when Matt back flipped off the judges stage, but then I found myself being distracted by all the playing around as there was not enough dance content when you compared it to Scott’s Jive several weeks ago. I could not decide whether Aliona had taught him to force his action to keep in character or not, as it was very heavy.

Pamela & James

Viennese Waltz

Craig	Len	Alisha	Bruno	Total
10	10	10	10	40

WOW! Again Pamela looked stunningly, beautifully, gorgeous; they had a very strong portrayal from the start to the very, very end. She did miss a few heel leads but the way she was poised and balanced on her fleckle from closed to open hold was truly mesmerising and takes true talent, receiving a well deserved full house. Happy 61st Birthday Pamela.

Gavin & Katya

Foxtrot

Craig	Len	Alisha	Bruno	Total
7	9	9	8	33

Easily Gavin’s best dance to date, he showed great control, very well performed with pure technique on the syncopated section. For me Gavin gave both Scott and Matt a run for their money this week.

Kara & Artem

Tango

Craig	Len	Alisha	Bruno	Total
9	9	10	10	38

An amazing professional performance, with beautiful control, and a perfect top line with staccato interpretation. There were a few toe leads and I did not understand the flow of the choreography much but I could watch these two all night.

Out of all Saturdays performances it is the guys who need to keep their pedal to the metal, as it should be Pam and Kara in the final as both of them gave a truly finalist performance.

Sundays result show.

Strictly Come Dancing Show Dancers! Hmmm, they did not do it for me, Anton & Erin a truly Marcus & Karen demonstration, Scott & Natalie in the bottom two (please) but next weeks semi final, double elimination, swing-athon and two routines each! Can we take anymore?
