Hand me the Glitter Tissues

Oh my!  I didn't think there was going to be a sadder results show than when Rory & Erin left.  I actually had a river running down my face when Jason & Kristina and Robbie & Ola were up with Claudia.  And it didn't stop until after the show finished.  It was very gracious of Robbie & Ola to be so accepting and realistic of their standard in comparison to the others.  I felt for them when Kristina was so upset.  Also felt for Kristina to be so upset.  And then Jason was such a team-member.  It really was a whole lot of love!  I'm almost glad I'm going abroad the next 2 weeks and missing the shows as I don't think I'll be able to cope watching it live. 

Predictions for next week:  I think Holly will/should leave.  I'm glad she loved the Paso but she really doesn't have the passion for the rest of it.  Alex is the weakest dancer left but she has the heart. 

P.S.  Have to mention that Harry crying because he got through was the start of my sniffles.

Week 10 - Movie Week!

Robbie & Ola   7 - Quickstep  (Reservoir Dogs)

Harry & Aliona 9 - Rumba  (Robin Hood)

Alex & James 8 - American Smooth  (Pretty Woman)

Holly & Artem  9 - Paso Doble  (Zorro)

Jason & Kristina 10 - American Smooth (Singing in the Rain)

Chelsee & Pasha 9 - Jive (Shrek)

My vote goes to Jason & Kristina.  Definitely my favourite performance of the evening and I thought Jason was the best of the celebrity performers.    I perhaps would have given him 9 1/2 rather than 10 but he was the best.  I think the judges were misleading in their comments making me think they were also going to award him a 10.  I think they were saving their 10's for Chelsee.  Robbie's quickstep was very light-footed and it is very impressive where he has come.  Alex's American Smooth was beautiful but a little stiff.  Holly's Paso was great but I agreed with Craig.  Chelsee's jive was also great but I thought she jumped all her chasses turning back into the 'disco kid' for parts of it.  Harry's rumba was also very good.  He suited the music track.  I was looking out for a pigeon-toed left foot but I didn't notice it.   Well done all - it is a tough competition!  Robbie & Alex are the two weakest dancers now so I think it's probably ok for one of them to go tonight.
