Seeing as the weather is not getting any better, heres something smoking hot to combat the cold - James & Ola's rumba from last Sunday night's Strictly.
i have watched this routine a crazy amount of times.....
Which was the celeb and which was the pro? Impossible to tell!
They're actually both professionals - they're James and Ola Jordan, and this was a pro dance that they did on the results show this week. James is still in the competition (QF this week!) - Ola was eliminated early on as she suffered from TPTB's policy of handicapping the reigning champions by giving them crappy partners!!
But yeah, I much prefer SCD to DWTS - the routines are longer (1min 30 secs as opposed to 1 minute) and less gimmicky than DWTS. There's still the usual shenanigans with the scoring - favourites, overmarking, etc.... - but by and large, I find it way more enjoyable than DWTS. I also think the SCD pros are much better than their US counterparts.
I have links on my PC to some of my favourite SCD routines - shall do up a post on that one of these days!!
