[Bonefish Blues]

Cracking performance Grommit

[Ace-T]

I preferred that one to their Wicked one and that was a great paso.

Rachel must be counting down the minutes when Pash is out of Flack's clutches

Without a doubt. Especially since she was a Strictly romance.

Tess appears to be wearing a pair of curtains wrapped around her.

She can do ballroom. It's just not as good as Frankies. Frankie has barely improved all series though. She started well and got a bit better. The others improved massively

Wow just wow, that last hold !

Yes. Exactly so. I think Ash has different (but no less valid, I must stress) judging criteria than some of us.

Tess & Claudia's dresses are aweful!
Where did the Beeb dig them up?

It was astonishing. Touching journey for Simon

[richtea78]

If you were picking the best dancer it would be Frankie. The years of previous training would see to that.

I reckon someone on production team has had a word with Greg, as his reaction to Caroline's final dance there was rather different! He'd even moved himself right up to the camera, so he could be seen properly!

Yes, I loved that when he did it originally and still do. Fantastic

Remarkable set of scores for Caroline. Are we going to have a series winner that can't do ballroom?

There's an amazing amount of artistry and technique to her dances, especially to her show dance. It doesn't have to be giddy and wild to be good. Her show dance conveyed a story and emotions in a way I don't think the others did.

It's not really a contest of who's improved the most though, or shouldn't be necessarily. I appreciate everybody likes a story of someone going from no experience to being great but the dancers are supposed to be judged on how good they are.

Right final order from the Judges I thought

[Ace-T]

Great argentine tango, probably one of the best ever.

You can argue about whether such and such should be in the competition but it's not their fault; and once they are there I think you should judge them on their merit. Pixie by a country mile, Frankie a delicious second choice.

You also should account for the improvement. Otherwise you would do it all on the first night

Agree again!
Noticed the same & suspected he was given words.
Wish they would ship him out of the Beeb not that I watch all those damn cookery programmes!

He pisses me off on the Professional masterchef. This week he blagged a dinner with all the Michelin star chefs.

[big dub]

Flack or Riley? No contest, Riley everytime.
