Hope Mrs Fortuna wasn't watching ITT last night...

..Because Ali and Brian were seriously short-changed in times of the interview time allocated to them, especially considering they didn't have a real interview with the pair of them last week. Much as I love Ian Waite, Bill and Sian, and the training updates, I think one of those slots should have been dropped to give Ali and Brian a real chance to show some personality. I don't quite understand why we have JJ with training review on a Wednesday, when it is far too early to comment, then training review on a Thursday, showing not much improvement, then the Friday panel, showing not much more improvement, but with a chance to hear the music and see a sketch of the dress. Seems a bit drawn out to me (but beats most filler items).

Anyway, the updates themselves don't actually look that promising. Ali and Brian are lacking in body contact, attack, and staccato; Ricky's foxtrot is lacking finesse; Chris' posture is still a problem; and why is Laila training in Ugg boots? I can see the need for not training every hour of the day in high heeled shoes, but dance trainers or ballet flats would be better, because at least they would allow her to work on precision in her feet, and sloppy footwork is an area that she needs to improve.

Loved the recap on Bill and Karen - what a great relationship it was, and how he took the judges on fearlessly. He got in there with the knife a few times though - "Was that the VW waltz when they bumped into everyone else, and still got a 10?", and the insistence that Tuffers was far better in his A/S than Ricky Groves and should not have been voted off....Glad to see an independent view being expressed with such vehemence.

Please tell me that Laila and Anton are not dancing the salsa to Shakira? Please!
