Anita Dobson & Robin Windsor - Salsa

A bit of a stumble but they're quick to get back into routine, though Anita's confidence looks to have been knocked.

It's a real shame as they started really well but some of the later sequences just seem to have lost the fire.

A cheeky performance but lost it halfway, just a 6 from me.

Craig: 7 "I thought you danced it brilliantly"
Len: 7 "A few incidents...having said that, I thought it was fantastic"
Alesha: 7 "So much fun I don't care about the mistake"
Bruno: 7 "A tropical tutti-frutti cocktail...went on the wrong foot a couple of times...who cares"

Total Score: 28

Robbie Savage & Ola Jordan - Foxtrot

Almost a stumble at the beginning but other than that quite a good start.  Shame that it actually loses it a bit once they go into hold.

His eyeline's just a little too high, which a lot of the guys suffer from in the Ballroom, but he's definitely putting a lot into the performance.

It was still a little bit flat footed and he needs to make sure he brushes one leg past the other but otherwise a very impressive performance...think I might give this a 7!

Craig: 7 "Head placement needs sorting out...got to say that was showbiz...I loved it"
Len: 8 "You little beauty...the more you give, the more marks you get...you're going to get plenty"
Alesha: 7 "It's really good to see you smiling and enjoying yourself...keep going"
Bruno: 7 "Slick, confident, debonair, what a transformation"

Total Score: 29

Rory Bremner & Erin Boag - Salsa

A bit out of time at the start but a great smile. Needs to stand up straighter and I feel there are points when Rory's just standing around waiting for his turn.

Salsa is a very difficult dance though, and along with the Foxtrot, I think they're both too early in the competition.

A good performance but not great, just a 6 from me.

Craig: 4 "Like a rat caught on a sticky strip...dancing way too heavily on the floor"
Len: 6 "Not a natural dance for an Englishman...flaunt our wobbly bits...you gave it a go"
Alesha: 6 "Straight in, no messing about...loved the shimmying"
Bruno: 6 "Full frontal attack, full of energy...you went wrong...gotta keep the flow going"

Total Score: 22

Holly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev - Salsa

Not sure on the head movements and her steps are still a bit too big for my liking but I do feel a lot more energy this week...though I still feel there's something missing from the performance.

Her arms can be a bit lazy at times but it wasn't bad still don't think I can give it more than a 7 though at this stage.

Craig: 7 "Some timing issues...great hip rotation...whole routine really great"
Len: 7 "You wanted to go faster...kept losing the timing...I thought it was great"
Alesha: 8 "You move your body so well...only thing for me is please just let go"
Bruno: 8 "You are a stunner...still have a few gremlins that you have to work out"

Total Score: 30

Lulu & Brendan Cole - Foxtrot

Head up Lulu! Lifting her feet rather than tracking along the floor and missing quite a few of her heel turns, which is a shame as she was doing them in training.  You can tell she's forgotten a few of the steps but a huge improvement on last week.

Not bad, Lulu just needs to dance with more confidence, a 6 from me but with potential.

Craig: 5 "I felt like you were trying to keep up with Brendan...looking into his chest...lovely pivots"
Len: 6 "You got through the routine...now you have to work on the polish"
Alesha: 7 "Looked much more focused and in control"
Bruno: 7 "On it all the way through...needs polishing but you can dance if you want to"

Total Score: 25

Dan Lobb & Katya Virshilas - Salsa

No, why on earth do the flip at the start, feels a bit 'dad at a wedding' and the outfit doesn't help.

Another routine that really doesn't feel like a Salsa, and the lifts are just a complete distraction.

I'm afraid it didn't really feel like a dance, more like a show dance, and I really didn't see much hip action from Dan.  Again the whole movement needed to be a lot more compact.  Just a 5 from me.

Craig: 4 "Thank you for the smile...rest of it unfortunately was lumpestuos (whatever that means)"
Len: 6 "Was a little bit penguinish...I reckon this is the one dance that is going to least suit you"
Alesha: 6 "I don't think my mum would think that was unattractive...flip at the beginning was really brave"
Bruno: 5 "Like Bob the Builder...lumbering and heavy...good effort but not good results"

Total Score: 21

Alex Jones & James Jordan - Foxtrot

This start feels a bit more Alex Jones rather than last weeks 'sexy'.  Frame is looking a lot better but she still picks that foot up :-(

Unfortunately I think the break in the middle ruins her frame which is a shame as it was actually a very good performance.

I'm going to give it a 7.

Craig: 6 "Pivots a little bit off-centre...ballroom definitely suits you more"
Len: 8 "Key to this competition, improve each week...and that's what you've done"
Alesha: 7 "You can dance, just got to believe it"
Bruno: 8 "Equally parts sophistication...sex appeal...careful, you lost the frame a couple of times"

Total Score: 29

Audley Harrison & Natalie Lowe - Salsa

I still feel it's a bit too disco and not enough Salsa, Audley still looks flat footed as he moves around.  Plenty of personality but he must avoid looking down.

Some really good spins but Audley needs to take smaller steps and try to control his body better.

Not a bad Salsa but just a 6 from me.

Craig: 5 "Very flat footed but I'm not surprised with those size feet...but two good things...groove going...bit of hip rotation"
Len: 6 "It's easy for a big guy to look clumsy but you didn't...neat...nicely placed...did a great job"
Alesha: 6 "Lit up the room...tried so hard...lots of improving to still do...I enjoyed it."
Bruno: 6 "You can do it...more like disco night...lost a little bit of the style...energy was great"

Total Score: 23

Edwina Currie & Vincent Simone - Foxtrot

A much better dress this week, but a lot of 'faffing' about as Len would put it 50 seconds before they actually take hold!

It's very elegant and romantic but they only spend about 20 seconds actually in hold.

Edwina looks quite clumsy at times but overall not a bad performance, but not a Foxtrot I'm afraid so just a 5 from me, and Len is NOT going to be happy!

Craig: 4 "When you FINALLY got into the Foxtrot proper, very hunch of shoulder...point the foot at least"
Len: 5 "That could be the last supper...too much messing about...I wanted more content of the Foxtrot"
Alesha: 5 "Getting into character is brilliant...but it was too long getting into the dance"
Bruno: 5 "Naughty Edwina...you forgot about the Foxtrot...like watching a bendy bus navigating a tight roundabout"

Total Score: 19

Chelsee Healey & Pasha Kovalev - Salsa

Energetic start though not sure on the outfit.  Good floor spin but I think they've chosen the outfit to mask a lack of hip action.

Chelsee looks a little tired near the end and I think there was maybe a bit too much choreography, not enough time for Chelsee to perfect her technique.

I expected better but I think that was more the choreography than her performance.  Just a 7 from me.

Craig: 7 "A little bit bouncy for me and unearthed...I really absolutely loved the alternating underarm spins"
Len: 7 "You came out and it was full-on...calm down dear, it was too full-on a little bit...but it was great"
Alesha: 8 "Fun, flirty and fearless...beginning section was so impressive...do need to watch your control"
Bruno: 7 "You have the energy of a wild kitten...underarm passes good...put everything you've got into it"
