A very fun entertaining Samba from Jodie Kidd I thought, but a bit underscored from the Judges who deemed it to be worth just 23 points. Judge Craig awarded the performance a measly 3 out of 10.
None of the Judges were very complimentary, but as usual, good old Len Goodman came to the rescue.
Bruno said, "Jodie you're like the stock markets, up and down, but here we crash again... you were never quite on it. You really have to focus on those latins.. get into the rhythm."
Craig said, "You crucified that Samba, no real bounce action... limp.. very sticky rolls."
Arlene commented, "it wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad. You have an easy bounce, you just lost it, it wasn't a carnival in Rio, it was more like a birthday party in Bournemouth."
I think Arlene had been working on that comment for quite some time before the show even started. For comedy value, I will score her a 2.
Len Goodman finished on a much needed positive, "it had a fun element, you moved nicely, but it doesn't suit you, its a small person's dance...but that doesn't mean your not a good dancer... it doesn't matter."
Jodie Kidd thankfully escaped the bottom two this week and lives to dance again. Congratulations to Jodie. She and Lisa Snowdon are the Strictly Come Dancing's strongest improvers from where they started.
3 out of 10? Ridiculous! This week Jodie Kidd and Ian Waite are training for the Quickstep.
