STRICTLY COME DANCING 6 – Week 11

Wednesday, 3 December 2008
Do they intentionally store up the sexiest dances and skimpiest outfits for the last few weeks of Strictly? It certainly seemed like it last Saturday, with all the girls really wowing the eyeballs. Oh, and two dances each? Heaven. Expect some high scoring:

RACHEL STEVENS & Vincent Simone
Waltz: She looks delicious in whatever she wears, and this ball gown was no different. Open-backed, floating white skirt, hair tied back, and an enormous amount of cleavage as usual. Beautiful.

Paso Doble: "The Final Countdown"? Crazy song choice, in a good way. Rachel looked fab strutting around in her sea-green dress, cut up the skirt for occasional glimpses of thigh, and showing of her taut stomach.

LISA SNOWDON & Brendan Cole
Foxtrot: Another elegant dance, with Lisa putting on her best 1920s sophisticate impression. Neat lipstick, open-backed dress, tight hair, elbow-length gloves. Classy.


Cha Cha Cha: Fan-tas-tic! As Craig might say. Great body, towering legs, plenty of shape and her saucy moves made that pinky-orange dress literally vibrate around her curves. A series highlight. Amazing.


CHRISTINE BLEAKLEY & Matthew Cutler
Tango: Goth tango? Unusual style, although she looked a bit rough and her curves were hidden by that full-length black dress. Points for originality, and a few quick glimpses of legs, but otherwise very forgettable.

Salsa: Golden-brown dress and a fun dance that showed off Christine's lithe body, long legs and huggable waist. Cute little skirt that hula'd around her body at all times. Excellent stuff.

ERIN BOAG & Austin Healey
Foxtrot: Light blue dress with lots of tassels and an airy quality, again going for the '20s look these slower dances usually demand. Not great.


Paso Doble: Absolutely captivating dance (excellent, unusual start) and Erin looked both frightening and strangely exciting in her performance. Plenty of leg, flicking of a yellow skirt, glittery top, sexy spins and lots of attitude. Hot.

CAMILLA DALLERUP & Tom Chambers
Waltz: Angular dress designed to look like the sea (the song choice was "Moon River"), which worked well. Not the most revealing outfit, but Camilla has a nicely toned back, doesn't she.

Samba: A dress like shredded paper, once again only allowing looks at Camilla's best assets: her legs and back. Good, but not great.


THE DANCE-OFF

Y'know, it's got to the stage when it's a shame to see anyone voted off. This week's public vote put Rachel & Vincent up against Christine & Matthew in the dance-off. The judges made the wise decision (both in terms of dance and pure sex appeal) to keep Rachel in, meaning poor Christine had tango'd her last.

Who will win? Well, I think Rachel still deserves it, but she clearly has popularity problems. Likewise Lisa, who's a huge fan of the show but hasn't endeared herself to voters somehow. Therefore, I suspect a man will win this year – meaning it's between Tom and Austin. If so, I expect Tom & Camilla to sneak it.
