STRICTLY COME DANCING 6 – Week 12

Wednesday 10 December 2008
I want an Austin Healey. No, not the classic car; the ripped chest. I'll trade in my Austin Allegro. Anyway, we're rapidly approaching the end now –- and, to be honest, I'll sign any petition to get SCD cut down to a natty 8 weeks. Less celebs and a concentrated two months of dancing would be much easier to digest. Don't you think? This series has really, really dragged...

ERIN BOAG & Austin Healey
American Smooth: Custard yellow skirt and arm tassels weren't the best, but I liked the tight pink midriff with the open back. Quite svelte and alluring, but not great.

Salsa: Oh yes! This is more like it! Red-pink party dress, open-backed, shimmy cleavage, curvy and gorgeous. Great stuff.


LISA SNOWDON & Brendan Cole
Waltz: Quiet and tender dance, in a light blue dress. Very nice, but nothing special.


Jive: Good fun, if a bit strange. Snow-white dress, stick thin legs, good facial expressions, still a bit stilted, but entertaining.


CAMILLA DALLERUP & Tom Chambers
Foxtrot. Hey, Camilla seemed to really glisten in this sea-green dress – like a blonde light bulb. Shame she has to keep her mouth open so much in dances like this.

Rumba: Ooh, one of those dressed that's flesh-coloured underneath, so it's almost like Camilla was naked with a few blue tassels sparing her modesty. No complaints there. Nice legs, smooth and elegant, great poses.

RACHEL STEVENS & Vincent Simone
Tango: I know Rach's game – keep all the sexiest dances reserved for the last weeks. It's working. Rose-red dress, taut back, firm bottom, flashes of leg. Sexy.


Cha Cha Cha: She's at her best with these upbeat dances; sexy little body, figure-hugging dress, curvy legs, great song choice ("Signed Sealed Delivered") and always looks utterly adorable. I think she'll win.

THE DANCE-OFF

Well, well, well. It came down to Lisa & Brenda vs. Austin & Erin, and against most people's expectations... Austin was booted off. As the hot favourite to win, this was a big surprise to me. I'm not sure Lisa really deserved to beat out Austin, but I would rather see Lisa next week over Erin. So, I'm happy.
