Strictly Come Dancing: Week Three

This week the couples were dancing the Tango or the Jive. Off-camera gossip included trouble with Sarah and Brendan. He criticised her heavily after the last show, and she was upset by his attitude towards her and be hearing his comments on the TV. He eventually apologised and they got back to rehearsing. Meanwhile, Esther had expected to be out of the competition and arranged to do a talk on a Saga cruise ship. Staying in the contest meant she had to take partner Anton with her.

Roger and Camilla kicked off the show with their Jive. It was a lively number and although his height made him appear a bit gangly at times, the judges were mainly positive, however their scores were modest. Julian and Erin's Tango suffered a similar fate. Jill and Darren's Jive was raved about, as were Aled and Lillia's. The other Jive couple were Denise and Ian, but whilst I thought they were quite good, the judges thought they were poor and expected more of them. Esther and Anton's Tango, and more so Dairmund and Nicole's were slated and scored poorly with the judges. Sarah and Brendan's Tango was a hit.

Ultimately, inspite of coming joint 5th and 6th respectively, it was Denise and Esther as the two celebs in a chance for going home, and it was Esther who left, claiming to have had a wonderful experience. The judges were very anti-Dairmund and feel strongly that he should go as their were other more talented dancers in the show. I am in agreement as I do not want to see another Christopher Parker continuing on and on through the show whilst better dancers leave. Dairmund is the weakest one left by a mile.
