Kenny Logan dances out of Strictly Come Dancing
|
Kenny Logan became the ninth person to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One after failing to impress the judges in the
dance off.
Ìý
All the couples danced two different numbers again tonight, but once
again one of those couples had to leave.
Ìý
But it was Kenny and Letitia Dean who found themselves in the bottom two
competing in the dance off.
Ìý
Kenny performed the Foxtrot and Letitia
performed the Quickstep, their highest scoring dances with the judges.
Ìý
Of Kenny's first performances, the judges said:
Ìý
Foxtrot
Ìý
Len Goodman: "You come out and give it 100%. Your work ethic is great and if it
was based on that you'd be the winner."
Score: 8.
Ìý
Craig Revel Horwood: "Definitely your best dance yet. I can see you've been working on
your footwork but you need to get your thumb down." Score:
7.
Ìý
Bruno Tonioli: "Nine weeks ago I would never have though I'd see Kenny taking the
lead on the foxtrot. Your movement in ballroom is extraordinary. I
really thought this would be a disaster because it's the hardest to
lead. It's not perfect but you've done a great job."
Score: 8.
Ìý
Arlene Phillips: "Yes. You've improved. You didn't flow and float and why, if
you're here next week, your leg extensions. You're tall with long legs
and you need to step out. If you're here next week I want you to think
about that." Score:
7.
Ìý
Total: 30/40.
Ìý
Rumba
Ìý
Len: "It's two dances not do one get one free. It was too much of Ola [partner Ola
Jordan]
and
not enough of you Kenny." Score:
7.
Ìý
Craig: "Sadly it was missing any real Rumba steps. But the story telling
was very good. I'd have liked to have seen more steps." Score:
4.
Ìý
Bruno: "'Kenny no thumb' is your new name. The beginning started well
then you stopped in the middle like a bouncer – why? She was running
around you. You had her in the beginning, you let it slip and in the
end you didn't catch it up."
Score: 7.
Ìý
Arlene: "No rumba content. It was like the pole and the pole dancer
dancing around him. It was like poles from Poland. There was nothing
there – Kenny barely moved."
Score: 5.
Ìý
Total: 23/40.
Ìý
They scored a total of 53/80 making them bottom of the judges' leader
board.
Ìý
But the judges came to a unanimous decision on the dance off.
Ìý
They
said:
Ìý
Craig: "Based on this performance... for the musicality and showbiz it has
to be Letitia and Darren."
Ìý
Arlene: "I've never had such a difficult choice but I said to put a
spring in her step and a spring she did. Letitia and Darren."
Ìý
Bruno: "This person tonight raised their game... she showed and excelled
and that is Leitia and Darren."
Ìý
Len: "If I could have judged with my heart Kenny you would be back. But
on that performance alone Letitia and Darren."
Ìý
Kenny said: "I just want to thank everyone behind the scenes... Ola was the
most amazing dancer and I also want to thank James and Gabby."
Ìý
Kylie Minogue performed on the show tonight with the Strictly Come
Dancing professional boys dancing with her.
Ìý
Sadly Kelly Brook decided to leave the competition following the loss of
her father this week.
Ìý
Kelly had done some training as she had hoped to
continue with the show in his memory. However, understandably she found
it too difficult.
Ìý
The competition continues next week with the couples having to perform
two more dances.
Ìý
