Danggg that is long. This is interesting. Ooh I also wonder what these hidden songs are called and why no title for them? You’re welcome.

Oooh lol well she is and has always been young but yes she does look young in there. -Ugh I don’t know why that happens. Sorryy. Oooh awww yea, I want them to do well/better next season. Awww darn. Yess! - Ooh I know you do and I read lots of other people wanting this to be a single too. It could be perfect for a summer single. Oooh lol nooo, I meant that face you gave.

OK and oooo yayyy I kinda remember doing so but of course I don’t guess it for the right set I bet, haha. Yayy agreement! - Omggg i totally forgot too but yayy glad I did guess this. LMAOO that was supposed to be grow, lol. Oooh I see, that is interesting. Yayy loving the agreement. - Yayy. Oooh lol yess before I posted it in my thread - I had no idea what you thought of this song. But in my thread i finally knew. Oops, sorry.

Oooh, I still got to catch up on there so maybe it was posted in a set I hadn’t seen yet? Oooh thank you for telling me. Yayness and awww i am glad you doo!

But oo lmaooo this is funny how tat happened haha. Oooh ok so they still played only 2 minutes of SOTB then? Gahh yeah sounds so super confusing haha. Yes. - Awww. Mhmmm and awww so cute with your love for the chorus. Lmao awww you are cute wit the Thing-Am-a-Jig love here haha. Aww yeah I do. Awww yeah those are fitting words for it. I am sooo getting worse and worse.

Finally got around to watching the Week 7 show, so some thoughts.... Gráinne & Kai - Quickstep: I feel awkward being one of the only ones not to know “Paper Rings” but I knew the T-Swift stans would be here for this. The storytelling of this was fun and super cute, and it seemed to take a little while o get into the Quickstep portions. But once it got there, it was a really good and solid Quickstep. Gráinne was light and quick on her feet and she just has this great infectious happy energy when she dances and performs. They moved and gelled together well in hold too. Ooh and it’s interesting how Kai has done the only two Quicksteps of the season so far - both were so different too. This was cute and fun dance for sure. Aidan & Emily - Contemporary Ballroom: Aidan got a great popular song choice for this style… and kinda love that he got this as he reminds me a bit of Lewis Calpaldi in spots. This was a really beautiful dance though. Aidan was very expressive in his movements and emotional connection in the dance. I do think Emily shone a lot here and was stunning but Aidan brought his own and did well here too. There were a lot of cool tricks, especially that one move at 1:13 where she bent backwards and he supported her with his feet and arms - I don’t know how to describe it but it was cool. And yeah the chemistry felt so raw an real. I think it probably lacked and didn’t have enough ballroom elements but that’s the only thing. Mary & John - Viennese Waltz: This was a sweet and charming dance from Mary. She performed it nicely and got into the character well. Her dancing is still….. not the smoothest and still rough around the edges. Like I felt this dance was very cautious and careful and it seemed quite slow in dancing and movements, for a VW and with the song. It was fine and probably one of Mary’s better dances. I’m stuck between 5s and 6s on this one. Brian & Laura - Tango: N/A Ryan & Giulia - Salsa: Ooh lol I saw lots of complaints on Ryan’s outfits, which…. I do get. These outfits work better for a Jive but are weird outfits for a Salsa. Okay now that my slight shallow comment is out of the way, it does make sense for the library themed dance. This was a really great and fun Salsa from Ryan. He had great rhythm, energy, partnering skills and a great sense of naturalness dancing and performing this dance. Ooh and the lifts he did in this was impressive, I especially loved the lifts at the start. I would have loved this more without the theme and a more auenthic Salsa which he could nail but still a really strong and fun dance Fr Ray & Kylee - Jive: N/A Sinéad & Ryan - Samba: I’m so glad Sinéad did really well with this Samba, as I worried for her with the party Latin dances. Although ugh sadly this did nothing for her in votes so that is upsetting. This was a really fun and entertaining routine and Ryan gave Sinéad a lot of intricate and difficult choreography to handle. Sinéad brought a lot of and channeled her hotness with this dance, and that surprised me here even despite her VW from the previous week. Sinéad did well with all of the partnering work and side by side dancing, had lot so rhythm and energy. The only thing/issue i would say is that on some of the side by side parts, she didn’t look so confident and kinda kept looking at Ryan like a sense of unsureness. I felt that like 2 or 3 times, but besides that - lots of difficult steps she did well on. Lottie & Pasquale - Viennese Waltz: N/A Rankings: Ryan & Giulia - Salsa Gráinne & Kai - Quickstep Sinéad & Ryan - Samba Aidan & Emily - Contemporary Ballroom Mary & John - Viennese Waltz N/A Brian & Laura - Tango Fr Ray & Kylee - Jive Lottie & Pasquale - Viennese Waltz Really enjoyed the Top 4 dances in my rankings. Hoping I can get to see Lottie’s and Brian’s dances soon.
