Strictly Dance Fever: Week Four

Now was the main show, in a bigger, smarter studio, a live band and professional costumes and hair. Much better! The ten couples danced either the Boogie Woogie or the Cuban Salsa. There were a lot of errors and many couples, especially those who did the Boogie Woogie missed lifts and made errors, especially last week's Tango couple Katie and Alex, who did not recover well from their missed lift. The judges also slated Natasha and Paul (the Lindyhop couple) as their salsa had no passion (this is quite ironic when you consider they are the only couple who are a couple). Judges faves include Nathan and Kristy (the jazz couple from week two) and Claire and James (Swing couple from week one).

Scoring was done like Strictly Come Dancing, those with the highest judges' marks got 10 points, descending to 1 point for the lowest scorers. This was then compared to viewer votes - those with the most viewer votes got 10 points, descending to one point for the couple with the lowest. Paul and Natasha got the lowest judges's scores, with Alex and Katie getting two points and Casey and Toby (Swing dancers week one) getting three points, so these couples really needed the viewers votes.

Once the votes were in they were announced Strictly Come Dancing style so the eight couples who were 'safe' for that week were announced. The bottom two were Katie & Alex and Dan & Michelle, who had actually been sixth in the judges votes. Surprisingly Dan and Michelle got through and they took it in good part, although Paul and Natasha seemed quite upset.
