Emotions Run High in Strictly Come Dancing Week 4

Bar Well And Truly Raised

I think everyone can agree that this was the best week yet! I was just as shocked as the judges. It was as if a dancing fairy had waved their magic wand over everyone!

Just when you thought one couple had smashed it then the next one came on and raised the bar. This happened again and again!

The highlight was Hamza and Jowita. I was gasping at the lifts. He seems to be the most calm and chilled person on earth, then out he comes and does that! Incredible.

Fleur was also amazing. What a comeback from the dance off! She is a beautiful dancer and she is showing that she can take on any style. I don’t think she’ll be back in that dance off anytime soon.

We saw tremendous improvements from Ellie T and Matt, and I was so impressed with Ballroom Boy James!

Get The Tissues

Perhaps because the bar has been raised and everyone is doing so well, emotions seemed to be running high in the studio and – I’d imagine – at home.

There were some strong messages behind some of the performances and you could really feel it. When a dance means something, you don’t even need to try to act it. Emotion flows out and we all feel it, even through the TV.

The people who were so happy and taken aback at their high scores also got to me.

I must mention Will. It was pretty clear how unwell he was and he was given one of the hardest dances. It wasn’t his best. I’m sure he’ll come back and smash it out the park next week.

Joanne’s Top 4 – Week 4

Hamza and Jowita (10)  Absolute perfection with the shock factor on top.

Fleur and Vito (9)   Amazing comeback and she showed us how diverse she is.

Molly and Carlos (9)  Brilliant technique and so natural.

Tyler and Dianne (8)  I’m unfamiliar with this style of dance but they pulled it off. Very in sync.

Did The Right Couple Leave?

Matt isn’t as co-ordinated or as natural as Kym, and Kym had an amazing night. However, it is such a shame. I feel he was just coming out of his shell and that Jive was his best dance yet! I would have liked to have seen his journey of improvement and enjoyment through the show. I feel he was just getting started.

Verdict: Yes – The right couple did go

Strictly Come Dancing – Week Two Brought Ballroom Bliss!

Ballroom Bliss! This week we seemed to have a lot more couples dancing Ballroom than Latin, so we got a much clearer idea of their abilities. In Ballroom you need precision, good footwork, strength and control in the frame, some softness AND storytelling as well. New Ones to Watch Tyler was GREAT. That jive was my favourite actually! If he can keep going like this, then he may be one…

Strictly Come Dancing – Movie Madness – Movie Week Review

Movie Madness on the Dancefloor! WOW! WOW! WOW! What a week! Right from the opening group dance to Encanto we knew it was going to be one heck of a night! We had the first 10s of the series! Now I have said since the beginning that I didn’t like the couples getting such high marks this early on, but I have to admit that those 10s for Tyler and…

Strictly Come Dancing Week 5 Review – 100 Years of BBC

100… but no 10s You know what? This week we saw a brilliant celebration of the BBC and the whole evening took us down memory lane with the songs and the costumes. It was a really lovely episode and yet no-one quite blew our socks off and was able to get a 10. Why? It could have been for a few reasons. It was a new themed week, and we…

Charlie Learns to Jive With Ex-Strictly Come Dancing Winner Joanne Clifton

Who doesn’t love Strictly Come Dancing?  We certainly do here at WhichBingo. So much so that we wanted to find out just what the celebrities put themselves through week in and week out for the duration of their stay on the show. To that end, we sent our resident showman (well, social media manager) Charlie Shakespeare to spend an afternoon with the lovely Joanne Clifton to see if she could…
