I hope Natalie has worked on Ricky's frame, as that's the one part of his dancing that I've felt has been particularly lacking.
An energetic performance and hard to fault at times (though he needs to ensure he brings the feet closer together during the scatter chasses).
I really found it hard to fault and this could see a perfect score...

Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas - Tango
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.

Laila Rouass & Anton du Beke - Viennese Waltz
Back to ballroom, and Anton's forte, we should see significant improvement this week
The training mid-week for this looked excellent, let's hope she can perform tonight.
There's something just not quite right with her frame, it doesn't look like she's quite standing up from her core, which is resulting in a slight chin protusion.
That slip right in front of the judges won't do them any favours.
Anton felt this had the potential to be 10's, but it hasn't quite lived up to it on the night, could well get 8's though.

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag - Rumba
Ricky has consistently been the clown in the competition so far, but he can't really afford to be too funny in this dance.
The weight loss is definitely showing in Ricky now and he's looking good, though the hips are a little forced in that beginning, and still needs to watch his shoulders when in hold.
Not so sure on the arms being flung everywhere but a serious effort from Ricky. Not a bad performance I think and I would say yet more 7's (swiftly becoming a habit tonight!)

Zoe Lucker & James Jordan - Samba
I don't feel Zoe's performed particularly well during the faster Latin dances so it will be interesting to see how she copes tonight.
Looks to have been a slight mistake after the promenade runs, but so quickly recovered you probably wouldn't notice too much.
Her hip work just seems to be lacking for a great protion of the dance and I wasn't particularly impressed, more 7's I'm going to say but may get an 8.

Jade Johnson & Ian Waite - Foxtrot
The Foxtrot is a slow and elegant dance and, like most ballroom dances, tends to suit the taller couples - and these two are certainly both tall!
For an athlete Jade does manage to pull off elegant quite well. A little bit of gapping between them , Jade needs to slow down when she's the one going backward and her left shoulder just has a tendency to pop up at times.
A very good performance however and could achieve 9's tonight.

Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan - Cha Cha
Fast and cheeky, this could make or break Chris.
A bit too stompy throughout, needs to be softer and push through the floor, and Craig is definitely going to mention the 'banana' hands (as Emma's just described them!), he needs to make sure there is a some shaping in his hands.
Another round of 7's I would say.

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace - Waltz
Craig is hoping to make it to Blackpool next week, but has thus far not managed to impress the judges with his attempts - will the Waltz be any better?
Craig's frame is vastly improved on his previous attempts at ballroom, and actually is one of the best frames I've seen from any of the celebrity males this year.
Ok the dance lost it in places but I think it's his best dance so far.
He should achieve 7's.

Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna - Paso Doble
A slower Latin American dance (generally), Ali should fare better than her last outing in Jive.
Body shaping in training is looking really good, let's hope the stubbed toe doesn't affect the performance, though she looked a little 'off' coming down the stairs.
It's not a confident performance I feel, though the steps are generally looking pretty good - and there's no way i'd be able to do the splits!
Overall it just lacked energy for my liking, 7's again I think.

Natalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone - Jive
Natalie has her favourite dance this week, and some might argue the most energetic of all the dances!
Slight mistake with the hand changes at the start but certainly not lacking in energy. She does feel a little flat for my liking and really needs to do something with the arm that isn't in hold as she has a tendency to just leave it hanging.
An ok performance but I think the energy gradually dissipated as the dance progressed.
I think she'll get 7's.
