Ricky W's Quickstep - Strictly Come Dancing

Smokeychan1 · 31-10-2009, 21:19

(I owe him this one).

That was AWESOME, young sir. More please

cassieconvinced · 31-10-2009, 21:21

That was indeed an excellent performance!

KipsKaz · 31-10-2009, 21:23

His pigeon toes put me off a bit but I still very much enjoyed it. The QS is one of my faves.

Taz93 · 31-10-2009, 21:23

I thought it was overmarked.

*Laura* · 31-10-2009, 21:25

Everyone knows I'm a fan but, even I was stunned at how good it was. Natalie can sure choreograph a mean QS, it was FAB-U-LOUS.

Me too - there was a noticeable lack of body contact in hold.

Was it good - yes indeed; very good - I'd say so; worthy of a 10? Not at all.

i agree but it was a superb routine i loved the slide and the little bit at the top of the stairs cant say fairer than that

Armchair-dancer · 31-10-2009, 21:29

i can't take to Ricky or Natalie but that was great dance.

9 marks great though, not 10.

brompton · 31-10-2009, 21:30

Probably the only routine so far this series that has had a genuine wow factor.

I don't know who Ricky Whittle is, and I don't especially think hes a fascinating character, but he can certainly dance, and it is a dancing (popularity) contest so i hope and expect he'll go all the way to the final.

Jan2555*GG* · 31-10-2009, 21:32

I have to agree it was a great dance but only worth 4 nines.

Still wont get my vote though too dull generally.

gritty · 31-10-2009, 21:33

Hoping some dancers will come here and confirm that that was an awesome quickstep. Two years training and I WISH I could pull off a quickstep even half as good!!

He used those stairs like a pro. Often the celebs look tentative and can't help look down. Ricky glided back up them at the end.

First dance of his I will be looking out for on video of my own volition.

Vincy82 · 31-10-2009, 21:41

Well deserving of the 10s I thought. How anyone can deny he's a great dancer is hard to understand.

Dull personality? Or dull dancing?
You can't possibly think their dances are dull surely?

He was absolutely wonderful tonight. Far and away the best dancer this year.

-Sid- · 31-10-2009, 21:44

Quality Quickstep (with Arlene away, someone needs to alliterate!).

Can't begrduge him the 10s when I felt Ali deserved hers last week.

maggie48 · 31-10-2009, 21:45

I can't understand all the negativity.

He can dance extremely well, seems to have a good personality and the most gorgeous smile.

Am I watching a different show?

I'm with you maggie

rach_89 · 31-10-2009, 21:58

Absolutely loved it!

Dollystanford · 31-10-2009, 22:00

I really liked it - but craig is right and that's why I would give it a 9 rather than a 10

jade and ian the only other 9 of the night in my opinion

Robert Romarin · 31-10-2009, 22:00

He's having his way with this competition as far as the male celebs are concerned...in fact he's the best overall too.

If it wasn't for the 'pigeon' toes....

Ignazio · 31-10-2009, 22:02

God only knows what he'll write on his blog after scoring three 10's.

Thank God for Craig RH is all I can say!

PrincessNidor · 31-10-2009, 22:14

I really enjoyed it and thought it was his best dance yet. It was a great performance and it looked amazing.

End-Em-All · 31-10-2009, 22:26

Someone please explain to me what "pigeon toe" is

. Thanks

I'm going to prolong my current feeling of goodwill towards Ricky by attempting to stay away from his blog for a few days

It walking with your feet turned in towards each other.

Miah · 31-10-2009, 22:30

I'd have given him a 9, but wouldn't deny him his excellant scores all the same.

He still doesn't quite do it for me though, I can't explain why. I just don't connect with him emotionally...but I guess as in life you can't help who you fall in love with!

Well done to him all the same!
