That's what I mean about Camilla, she doesn't have that control, she throws her arms away so they never finish in a sharp line, they always go beyond where they should be and she is sloppy. I am very surprised she is latin champion because I don't rate her at all. I've been trying to find the video of the show which she made me go oooh no what are you doing but I can't find it, I had a quick look on youtube and found this and whilst it's not the best it may give you an idea of what I mean http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=axtXU_NN7GE She lacks strength when you compare her to Flavia or any of the others I think and she can look very awkward at times. Yes I do think the commuting is getting to Len a bit! xx She’s really great in that, I love the Argentinian tango, it’s one of my favourites - do you see how sharp and precise she is?

I'm going to keep a close eye on her now! Flavia is super controlled, isn't she? Don't know if you've seen this before, but shows how great she is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wH3Gw9H_eY Yes, not sure what Len's problem is - and bizarre that he gave John's salsa a higher mark than Matt's! Twice last night he kept saying 'All I'll say is...' and then giving a compliment and looking grumpy about it. Maybe it's all the commuting to LA & back, getting to him! xx ps: yes, I think you *might* win longest comment award! ;) I’m surprised you say that about Camilla, as she and Ian are latin champions, although their builds are more classically ballroom-esque, I guess.

Loved Alesha and Matt last night, they are both SO good to watch. Kelly is a good (if trained) dancer but there's something about her I can't warm to as much as Alesha. Matt also went to stage school I believe so also trained but damn is he a handsome boy!!! Brendan comes across as a bad loser and it's not a good look! I don't care much about John either or Gethin if I'm honest - he seems a nice boy and has improved but there doesn't seem to be much personality there. Letitia is doing well with Darren, he does seem a supportive partner. Kenny I can't watch, those big hands and the way he holds them make me hide behind a cushion, he offends my eyes. As for the pros - it's not that Camilla is floppy as such, she's good in the ballroom but keep an eye on her in the latin and especially in the group numbers when they have to freestyle, lordy lordy she goes for it big time and the result is an out of control nightmare, she lacks strength too and is IMO the weakest of the pro dancers. Flavia is great and has a six pack I'd kill for! And whilst I'm here (longest comment ever award?) what is up with Len? For more days than not he is in a bad bad mood and I don't like it. He's the nice one, the kind one but lately he's a moody old git and gets in right strops over everything, come back nice Len you are much missed, we have enough moody judges without you joining them! xx Yay!
