Depending who gets into the final -
There are too many of Laytons that I would like to see again - mainly - his quickstep and Argentine Tango.
Ellie - her America smooth and either paso or Argentine tango.
Bobby - just don’t care
Annabel - don’t care

I don’t think their lack of critique has helped Bobby. I think unless they directly say something he needs to improve Dianne would be happy to just coast along as long as they stay in.
Yes!!! Critique is important!! How else are you to improve!! I only didn't like it when they went overboard with it like with Angela S and Nigel. Fair criticism is constructive, this false "omg you were amazing" bullshit like they do with Bobby and used to do with Angela R is insulting to the celebrity.

I thought the Quickstep was ballroom? (Not that I care about Dahnce Purity)
Quickstep is ballroom.

I would have preferred to see a Waltz or a Tango from Ellie than a Cha Cha, but I don't really mind if she does a Contemporary CC. I think she's one of the few celebs that probably could do a pretty good one. Just praying it's not some random jumping about street dance.

Oh yeah! Sorry, it was so barely a quickstep I forgot that one.
Yeah I didn't realise it was a quickstep when I was watching it! I enjoyed her footwork, thought she was light on her feet and nimble but there was a lot going on in that dance with all the acting and lifting and others dance partners that it wasn't really apparent until the judges actually said it!

It's a shame it had to be on musicals week to a bloody song with completely the wrong tempo, as she'd have delivered a fantastic quickstep with loads of content otherwise.

I'd like to see her American Smooth and, controversially, her jive in the finals.

Layton - I agree it’s a tough choice but think I would agree with you. Quickstep and Argentine Tango.
Ellie - Again agreeing with you. American Smooth and Paso.
Bobby - I’m not that fussed but I guess they would probably do Samba and Viennese Waltz.
Annabel - struggling here as all her dances seem to be so very similar

I'm stuck with Annabel.

I'd definitely like to see her Foxtrot again, and also maybe her Foxtrot. But then, her Foxtrot was also nice I just hope the judges, at the very least, pick her Foxtrot.

You're forgetting Annabel's Foxtrot.

The thing is Layton had foxtrot and waltz in his AS so technically he has done all the ballroom dances. He is actually doing 2 new dances. Annabel had the VW as her base for the AS and is going to do it as an actual dance (same as Bobby did).

Layton - Salsa and Quickstep
Ellie - American Smooth and Paso
Bobby - Cha cha cha and Viennese Waltz
Annabel - Foxtrot and foxtrot- nah, Jive and Couples Choice

Ellie and couple choice - I think she would really suit a theatre/jazz/fosse style. I have just never really enjoyed any contemporary on strictly - not even Rose’s or Ashley’s. I liked Caroline Flack’s contemporary. Just not a fan of lyrical contemporary.

I don't see Ellie doing contemporary at all. I think she'll go for commercial (PLEASE NOT STREET) or theatre/jazz.

Actually I could see the judges picking her jive. I’ve just watched it back and, whilst I think she could definitely move a bit quicker now as her fitness levels have massively improved, it was very good. She was one of the best from week one.
Weirdly looking at week 1 scores Ellie, Bobby and Layton were scored the same at 29 and Annabel was only 1 point behind at 28.
