Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two: Jiving Miss Claudia

Jive training and Zojam are looking good after 12.5 hours - why Zoe is worrying I've no idea; Jostina on 14 hrs - this is looking much better; Alian 16.5 are "struggling" - but not really! Cravia on 15 and this could be Craig's dance! Rickin on 13.5 and in 7th gear; Chrola, 13: "What you doing now?" "I tripped over my own feet!" But there's a "Yeah, baby!" moment - just remind yourself there's no football though Chris!

Lainton are on the sofa, after a snapshot of a very sedate looking jive on 12 hours - Laila (Head Girl) don't get her started on Ian's red trousers, nor her jive. Anton (Upping the Ant-e) says let's talk foxtrot again. There may be jazz hands, if you see them, pray for Lainton.

Len's Masterclass and the key to jive - fun, fast, sharp kicks and flicks - teaching Claudia a key moment from Jill and Darren's jive and we get a Hoi! Come on! She's worn out now though - get the two ton shoes off, you'll be alright, says Len.

Dr.Geoff the statsman - jive has been performed 47 times, average score 27.6; 66.6% of the maximums to Jill and Darren. Top 3: Jill 37.5, Gethin 37, Kelly 36. Vincent top pro, average 34. Viennese waltz performed 26 times, average 31.3. Series 5 tops - Alesha average 38, Gethin and Kelly on 36. Two maximums - Alesha, who else!

VW updates - Phitya on 10.5 hours found it tough at first, now looking pretty relaxed; Jodan are twizzling and twizzling and twizzling and twizzling and Jo says she needs the dance fairies, lol - no, Jo - you need the confidence fairies is all; Vinalie on 15.5 and the VW is everything Nat wanted to do in this competition; Ricalie tops on 16 and looking very strong.

Ianade on the sofa and lamenting that the scores for their salsa didn't match the comments. 13.5 hours this week and a breakthrough for Jade (Waite's mate) as she lets Ian (Quite irate) lead and seeks to show a softer side - and she's sussed the performance element after seeing Ian and Camilla in action (they're completely fabulous live and close up, I can recommend) Ian says we all need to vote for Lainton - he's seen their jive *eek*!

It's hot hot hot in the training rooms!

  1. Is it me or are the training hours a lot lower than they were last week? :o/

    Gotta say, if it's thursday and Laila is still only walking the Jive through then that's a bad sign! :o/

  2. I thought that - very low hours compared to other weeks. Wasn't hopeful for Laila but the video above looks like she might be up to speed.
