SCD Tweetabix

Judy
Ian - more body movement needed. 4
James - Bit stiff. Footwork timing issues. WHY? (I think that's referring to the tennis props) Less than 5
Camilla - Looks gorgeous but not a natural. 4
Karen - Loosen up Judy

Caroline
James - these are his second favourites. Frame needs a lot of work. 7-8
Ian - much better position (than in training clip) 8
Camilla - Good attack, but too latinfied for me. 7

Tim
James - Great job. Love them both together. Tim's right shoulder comes up. 7
Karen - Improved on last week. Charming and gentlemenly. You can't dislike Tim.
Ian - Started on the wrong foot but dancing was quite decent. 6
Camilla - Good rise and fall. Lovely routine. 5

Sunetra
James - bit ahead of the music. Picks her feet up too much. Good job with a very hard dance. Well done. She was crying because she still has to dance with Brendan. 5-6
Ian - Good effort. Needed to straighten legs more. 6
Camilla - Happy & fun. Has natural arms and rhythm. Need to work those feet and legs to improve. 6

Mark
James - Needs to move more and drive through standing leg. Good frame. Nice though. Didn't think the links from frame to open hold were smooth enough, however, Mark is doing well. What is he wearing though? 6-7
Ian - Mark is a very talented boy but the music just doesn't suit American Smooth. Best smile. 7
Camilla - lacking in musicality and no emotion. Good lifts. Did not touch my heart enough. 6


Jamie Cullum and Gregory Porter will perform on the Sunday Result Show

Scott
James - Improved definitely but couldn't have got much worse. Bit messy. Still looking unsure. Footwork mmmmm, but better well done. Didn't like the music or theme. Didn't get it at all but not Joannes fault. 4-5
Ian - Better than last week. Kept low in the knees but still slightly ploddy for me. 5
Camilla - Oh dear. Not impressed by Scott. He needs to get into his legs and stop sticking his bottom out and get his leg placed between hers. 4

Pixie
James - This girl can dance. I just feel she should be better. I liked it but not enough  rise and fall and drive across the floor. The music helps. Footwork not great on the double reverse spin. Ballet trained which helps but she will get better. 7
Ian - Wow. Great posture, beautiful arms and looked devine. 8
Camilla - Really lovely routine and my fav song choice tonight. Very natural movement, excited about her jour ney. 8

Steve
James - O la is nervous about this one. Heel leads. A bit stiff but looked like he was having a ball. Technically really not great but he seems so nice. He gives it a good go and I think men at home could relate to him. Needs a lot of work on feet and legs. 5
Ian - Not as good as last week. More shoulder action than hip action unfortunately. 6
Karen - Steve has definitely improved this week obviously been working hard.
Camilla - Steve sums up to me what SCD is all about, a jour ney. He is charming, confident, giving it his all and learning week to week. 7

Frankie
James - loved it!!!!! Apart from one messy lift... This girl can dance. 8-9
Ian - An odd character for a Charleston but did it very well. Lacked swivel in the feet. 7
Karen - Really unique dance, executed well and with great energy.
Camilla - Good dancing and routine. Call me old fashioned, I would have liked to see her in a proper 1920's dress/music. 7

That concludes the comments from the Ghost Judges.

There were other comments from James (mostly about Cr aig) but I thought I'd leave those to your imagination

Just noticed the Ghost judges didn't leave comments for Simon & Thom. There was some internal problems with the twitter feed and apologies given so I'm guessing that knocked some of the tweets out?

Twitter flooded with comments re Aliona & Greg. Most are about Aliona wearing her French Maid outfit. One is typical of many - how the hell did Aliona get stitched up again? (3rd time in a row). Aliona thanks Greg for his hard work. Greg is disappointed he didn't dance better but relieved that the stress is over. Both are on ITT Monday evening

Aliona sending support to Tristan & Jennifer
