A fast dance which could suit Jade's athleticism, even if it ends up wearing Ian out!
Jade looks a little uncomfortable during the jump from the stage, and is a little behind at the start of the next jump section.
Needs to relax the shoulders and make sure she isn't pushing the head forward.
Certainly full of energy but I think 6-7

Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe - Paso Doble
Marked as 'The One To Beat' last week, I wouldn't have marked him quite as highly myself but he's definitely the main contender, if he can keep it up.
Natalie looks a little nervous before walking out, but on the evidence of the first couple of moves I don't think there's anything to be nervous about.
A lot of passion and intensity and I must say a very impressive Paso performance so early in the series - helped by the quintessential Paso song.
This really could see the first 10 of the series but I think it will be a 9.

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace - Quickstep
Problems with his arm lines last week could be recreated in this fast and difficult dance.
Not too sure on Flavia's dress but an energetic start, though Craig needs to keep his shoulders down.
The worst thing about Quickstep is how noticeable it is when you jump and your partner doesn't, unfortunately Craig's errors are very noticeable.
Top line still requires a lot of work and I think this could be 5's

Natalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone - Paso Doble
A chance for Natalie to really get her acting skills out, if she manages to get over the nerves.
Dancing is exhausting, especially for those coming to the 10 dance recaps all next week!
Better Flamenco hands at the start than Lynda's effort.
Hands are a little high when coming across her chest at times.
Much prefer traditional Paso music, gives much easier and more dramatic highlights.
A very good Paso, and Vincent shows John Sergeant how you SHOULD drag a lady across the floor!
For me an 8, but I think it will be 7-8

Rav Wilding & Aliona Vilani - Quickstep
Rav's a big man and I do think he may struggle with the Quickstep, at least at making it look effortless!
Nice line at the start, shame about the slip and the Charlstons looked slightly off in the feet.
Huge gap between them meaning that they're not really together throughout the dance. Rav seems to be making quite a few mistakes and he would've been lucky to not have to hear from Craig.
4-5's

Zoe Lucker & James Jordan - Paso Doble
Another top partnership back to dance again. Nice dress, now what about the dance?
Good shapes at the start and throughout, though really waiting for a big WOW moment, seems a little lacklustre.
I wonder if James grew the facial hair especially for the dance?
Hunched over at times but overall not too bad. Best Paso so far but still only a 7 for me.

Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan - Quickstep
Another top dancer from a fortnight ago, fast dances normally suit shorter competitors so will be interesting to see how this shapes up.
Keep the head up Chris at the start, but good hands as always (contrary to Len's criticism...!
Looks a little flat and laboured and appears to be a lack of connection between them, probably due to Chris' bum being a little stuck out.
I'm afraid I think this will only be a 6.

Lynda Bellingham & Darren Bennett - Paso Doble
A dance that requires passion and performance. Cha Cha wasn't very good last time but this could be a lot better.
Classic dress design, not quite sure about the Flamenco moves to start with - too rushed to get the impact.
Lacks 'attack' and is a bit too soft for my liking but definitely better than her first two outings on the dance floor.
Think this will only get a 6 however.

Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna - Quickstep
Very good Waltz last time they danced ballroom and should have the elegance to pull off a good quickstep.
Nice classic music choice.
Floaty and elegant beginning.
Good movement and control, though the top line looks a little nervous and she looks almost like she's leaning.
Shaming about the slight mistake there.
Fast and accurate footwork mainly , needs to stand up a little more at times.
7-8

Strictly Clementine video blog
Clementine, the living fashion doll, is a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing and like millions of people is following every heel-turn of the hit BBC show.
Each week the dolly diva will be sharing her thoughts on Strictly in an exclusive video diary for BBC Norfolk.
In the second week of the series, jockey Richard Dunwoody fell at the first hurdle as the judges failed to save him in the dreaded dance-off.
Dunwoody was beaten by Coronation Street actor Craig Kelly.
Clementine is making her weekly diary update from her country home, a sandcastle on Sheringham beach.
"I love Strictly and fashion is my passion, so I will be commenting on the fantastic fox-trot frocks and the, rare I know, dance dress disasters," she said.
Strictly Come Dancing returned to our screens on Friday, 18 September, 2009, with a new format and new judges.
The show captivated the nation when it first appeared and the re-discovered love of dancing shows no sign of abating.

Clementine has developed a soft spot for Strictly hunk Rav Wilding
"I can't think of a nicer way to spend the chilly autumn evenings than to snuggle down and get a weekly fix of strictly, it gives your night a glamour glow," said Clementine.
'Strictly is like a nature programme for fashionistas.
"We get to see celebrities in their natural habitat - glittering under studio lights and in front of cameras. It's like Autumnwatch with sequins, just with none of the funny smells!
"I'm most looking forward to seeing the costumes. With so many contestants and so many different dances it's a real challenge for the costume designers to keep dazzling us, but they always do."
