    I totally agree with James in relation to Eddie and Karen. They were way better in the dance off, really upped their level and I loved it.
    Zara and Gratiano should have been voted out.
    I felt for Angela and Carlos, every judge critisised them, her little face looked crestfallen 😢
    Ellie and Vito was so powerful, but for there is something so so magical and beautiful about Bobby and Diane's partnership. I remember watching Jade on Big Brother and I wish she could see her boy now, 😭
    I love the podcast James, thank you.

    Salsa isn't usually choreographed by the pro partner, so it's a question if Nikita asked for it to be mostly side-by-side or it was a choreographer's choice. It was supposed to be a dance-off, maybe the theme took over the dance itself. I thought it was executed excellently. I agree about Vito and Ellie, they were excellent. Bobby as a non dancer amazes me every time, he's a huge talent and Dianne is a great teacher.

    • @stevebbuk9557
      @stevebbuk9557 8 месяцев назад +5

      But where was the hold, where was the weight balance? It's as if Nikita gave up on the salsa choreography and it became a gymnastics routine. This is where Len is surely missed, as he would have slated it. Craig has evidently been muted due to political correctness.

    James is so right about the judges being all over the place with scores. And that Eddie was different gravy in the dance off as opposed to the live show. I have a soft spot for Nigel and Annabel and hope they give more OOMPH on Saturday. The only thing I don’t like is the criticism of Layton for being an experienced dancer. I feel he has a lot to learn about partnering and technique so it’s valid for him to compete. Ellie is the one to beat right now

    • @halflink
      @halflink 8 месяцев назад +8

      Well, by having a lot of prior dance experience Layton has a major advantage. Yes he has to learn the technique and the partnering, but the rest of contestants on top of that have to also learn how to dance in general (i.e. rhythm, counting, understanding of different tempos) and try to get at least some physical form (muscles, stamina, lung capacity). And do all of that in weeks while Layton had a couple of decades. So yes, Layton has a massive advantage over everyone.

And the Argentine tango was saved for semi final week! Judges are so inconsistent it’s ridiculous. Bring back grumpy Craig. 100% agree with everything James has said. Should be non dancer show that’s the point isn’t it. We’ve gone too far with the show biz, props and all sorts. It’s not about the dancing anymore.

Please don’t put the age difference was too big because lots of pros have danced with the same difference before. Nadia never got partnered with anyone due to not talking part in the Strictly tour therefore the BBC got her back by not giving her anyone. ( this was said by someone on the know )

It was excellent entertainment and I love to see what he brings brings to the show. The other partnerships that were a joy to watch are Ellie & Vito and Bobby & Dianne.

    Such shows always have a problem with the judge scores, not just in "Strictly" and not just in the UK. And sometimes it gets really infuriating, because the audience just loses interest: if judges have favourites and give them high marks whatever happens, then what's the point in this "competition"?..🤨

    You are so right about the mismatch between the judges comments and the scores they give. On occasions the two have been so far apart that I've rewound thinking maybe I'd dozed off (lack of sleep, not boredom with the show!) and they're marking the next couple. Ellie and Vito... Well... I don't know if there are too many or not enough words to describe that dance. And talking of descriptions, his excited explanation of a dance step to Claudia that somehow involved strawberries had me in stitches. I loved his Paso Doble with Fleur too, and their tango, so I now can't wait to see his tango with Ellie. I would love to see them win or, failing them, Annabelle and Johannes or Angela and Carlos, as Annabelle has no dance experience and Angela very little. Somehow I don't see Nikita and Layton winning, no matter how good they are, because the public tends to choose a non-dancer who has made "the journey" as their winner over a better dancer with previous experience - Ore Oduba's win over Danny Mac is just one example.

  • @christianfrost8660
    @christianfrost8660 8 месяцев назад +9

    Based on the dance off alone: I think the judges got it wrong. The Samba was the more complicated routine that he cleaned up rather than the American Smooth in which her professional fell into the trap of making the dance to suit the lifts rather than the other way around, you can get away with lots of lifts in things like the Salsa but it doesn't look 'smooth' in the American Smooth.

    James is 100% correct about the salsa. The dance was phenomenal but this was not a proper salsa. There was very little partner work and there was an absence of partnered basics. It was always a treat to watch male couples dancing together (in Bar Salsa, for example). The quality of exchange during the partner work was next-level dynamic, and this was missing from this routine. It's a shame as both are such excellent dancers. I feel like the choreographers missed a trick here.

    James would make a great judge, I always agree with his reasoning and marking. Zara’s first few hunched steps were weird and the lifts weren’t great. I love Annabelle and don’t think it’s a level playing field when judging anyone against Leyton, he’s a fantastic dancer to start with. Unpopular opinion but I never enjoy Angela’s dances, I’d rather she straightened her legs more than trying to stretch them for effect as sometimes her knees look awkward and her feet turned out. Ellie and Vito were robbed.

    I honestly think Rippy and Kai are gonna get completely shafted by their last few dances. Gosh, they can't avoid Jive or Quickstep this year. Even if she did Couple's Choice, Waltz, Contemporary, Charleston, Tango, American Smooth, and Viennese Waltz, the next few weeks she's practically gonna get voted through to the finale. At that point, I'm concerned they'll either throw her a Samba and Quickstep, but that's when she's left with more dynamic dances. If that's the case, Angela is gonna be gutted at the last moment. The slow decrease will come in her scores, but the drop-off at the end, I fear, will be massive, and she won't have a chance.

    Craigs comments to Angela Scanlon were dishonest and deliberately wounding to her confidence. He said she lacked grace! When thats like calling a woman ugly. Angela Scanlon is lyrically graceful. But Craig often shows a preference for either butch men or effeminate boys/ young men and gives women the rough end of his distaste for their gender. If Craig is pleasant to anyone its welcome one does not have to be nasty to be a judge.

    @yinexcess 8 месяцев назад +3

    Any competition where performance is based on subjective evaluation is bound to be fundamentally flawed. My problem with week 5 is the fact that Dave Arch could have got a guest singer to perform "Calm Down" properly. Clearly out of the singers comfort zone, they murdered the music and ultimately rendered Eddie and Karen's Samba useless. Karen and her choreographers should have spotted this during the week.

  • @Tatlone
    @Tatlone 8 месяцев назад +2

    I knew Eddie would be out this week but I didn’t agree with the judges. For some reason I don’t think they warmed to him and Karen and you could see it all season. So I figured the bottom two would be him and Zara and as long as she didn’t fall over or something they’d choose her to carry on. Never mind she can’t do more than a few steps on the floor before she’s hoisted to the heavens. It’s a damn shame I think. They shouldn’t have been so biased against Eddie.

    I thought Zara was the worst in the dance off. Also let's not kidd about..the ringer Layton is the designated winner and I am sure the judges , as per usual, will do their utmost to judge as ordered. Which became blindingly obvious during last season when Shirley clearly almost messed up in what she was supposed to do.

    Re. Couple's Choice. There have been IMO only two memorable ones: Faye Tozer and Giovanni dancing Theater-Jazz; Rose and Giovanni dancing Contemporary. That's it. Re. Favoritism in the judging and scores? Absolutely. Adam has been a big beneficiary. His jive two weeks ago was grossly overmarked. He and Zara ought to be in jeopardy next week. Nigel and Annabel both have very popular pro partners, in addition to being popular in their own right; they've both got a magic invisibility cloak that hides their dance shortcomings.

    Hi - I have always believed that the judges do not have full control of their marks - I believe they are influenced by the producers of the show and are told or advised to give a score which the producers feel will make the public get angry or happy etc. The judges earn a packet from the BBC in their salary, and in return I believe they are told what to give and say.
