Ask Len...

..Well here's my question - Why Ask Len? Especially when I was convinced that this was the best series of ITT ever.

So it was refreshing to hear Vincent admit that he had made choregraphic errors. It must be hard for a pro when they hear a piece of music and feel no inspiration for choreography whatsoever. I know from my own experience that I can only ever choreograph a really good dance to music that I love, and I just can't go there with music that does not move me in some way.

Choreography Corner - Love the fact that Karen was in the camp of the lift was a wasted opportunity posse. Also that Natalie may well have played her big card too early, but the comment that she didn't want to diss Ricky because he really was so far ahead.

There was also gentle criticism of Laila; a big refutation of Alesha (ie with the comments that the pros use the tools they have, and that pivots create a wow moment that otherwise may be lacking in a dance pitched against the like of the AS or a bouncy latin); and she sure didn't pull her punches with Vincent, but I really feel that this was not out of bitchiness and was not anything that she would not have said to his face.

And so to the three that got away - Colin (he wuz robbed), Matt (he got lucky) and Gethin (he is handsome). I love all three of them, but most of all Matt D. a) because he is so often neglected in SCD history that puts Darren and Lilia as the journey couple and makes no mention of him; b) he admits how much Lilia lead him and how difficult it was to actually lead a real amateur; c) he had it so spot on about Craig and Flavia (although interestingly, it seems to have been a slightly reverse situation with Matt never believing how good he was, and Craig always hoping for the very best, and never wanting to hear the verdict.

And a clear sweep for Natalie and Vincent..... So what do we think about this then? CONSPIRACY THEORY...or just viewer preference?
