Carol Smillie eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing
|
Scot Carol Smillie got the Highland fling tonight after failing to impress the public on 成人快手 One's Strictly Come Dancing.
听
This week the competition stepped up a gear, as each of the couples had to perform two dances, one Latin and one Ballroom.
听
Each performance was marked out of 40, and then added together to give a total score out of 80.
听
Carol and partner Matthew Cutler performed the Viennese Waltz and the Samba, which each scored 34, their highest scores yet in the competition, giving them a total of 68 and third place on the leader board.
听
The judges said about the
Viennese Waltz
-
听
Len: "You were like a great big red swan gliding across the water. Fast clever footwork, beautiful rotation."
听
Bruno: "Well the lady has surpassed herself tonight. the dream unfolded."
听
Arlene: "Um, Carol, you're a little bit like a science teacher, you understand the workings of the body, you're politically correct, you had a fixed smile on your face. But I want to see you go that one step more and make it come from inside."
听
Craig: "I would have liked to have seen a little more flow, your foot came off the floor in the turn spin, you need to open your chest a bit more. But you know what? It was amazing."
听
And on the Samba
-
听
Len: "If you keep this up you'll be here for Christmas Carol. That was very good."
听
Bruno: "Finally the lady is a tramp. You can shake it."
听
Arlene: "I think I've been down on Carol but what I say is you sexy samba sizzler. You know what your hips are for!"
听
Craig: "It wasn't one of my favourites, the steps were all there. Your jaw is still protruding a little bit."
听
Despite scoring top with the judges, Emma Bunton and partner Darren Bennett found themselves in the bottom two with Carol and Matthew.
听
They scored an impressive 37 for both their Waltz and their Paso Doble giving them 74 out of 80 but they failed to get the viewers votes.
听
The four remaining couples will each be performing another two dances they have not done yet in next week's quarter final where there will also be a special twist.
听
The two couples scoring bottom with the judges and the viewers next week (9 December) will face a dance off.
听
They will perform their best dance of the night once again for the judges and viewers' vote. The phone lines will re-open and the lowest scoring couple will be eliminated.
