Week 11: Ali Bastian's Charleston

[XxCarlieCullenxX]

Saw her in Chicago last Friday! She can still Charleston! XD

[aisling156]

Lumpy....and she's obviously had a personality bypass

[MollyBoBolly6252]

finally. a girl who wears sensible footwear!

[anoukwakely]

they should have won this season

[Staraahhskinss]

I loved this when i saw it live on the telly last year :) Ali and Brian, Ola and Chris and Ricky and Natalie were all so good i wanted them all to win :D

[MsStarsea]

Honestly, I thought this was Ali's best dance because it was the only one where I felt she really let go and enjoyed herself!

[Billybo333]

i love this song!!! does anyone know what its called and who its byy?? thank youu : )

xx

[XxCarlieCullenxX]

Pencil full of lead

[SuperMarketPunkRock]

pencil full of lead - paolo nutini :)

[jennewrobo]

This is just fantastic

[rockinkitten]

Soooo cute!!

[nutinisnuts]

Paolo must be proud!!

[katyyemmaa]

yeaah!

[withalittlegrace]

Argh, Cola and Ali and Brian would have made such an amazing final.

[Crawleybird1000]

I agree. Ricky was great but the final would have been so much better with Ali&Brian AND Chris&Ola.

Considering Whittle was in the bottom two and BROKE THE LAW. He didn't deserve the final

[withalittlegrace]

tbh, I don't think that what he did was half as bad as the media made it out to be. I just found Ricky very boring. He had no personality and I couldn't see the chemistry that Natalie claimed was there. He's a bad loser, as well.

[MrSinister1979]

Agreed. While Ricky's dancing was great on a technical level, not one of his dances made me want to give them a repeat viewing. Not a single solitary one of them.

Ali & Chris' dances, on the other hand, made me want to watch them again and again. Especially their respective Charlestons :)

[gilliansimpson8]

@Crawleybird1000 i agree. Ali&Brian woulda made a better final. Whittle was crap tbh. I mean ppl thought he was fit but its a talent contest not a fit contest

[roblowefan1]

if it were a fit contest I give Brian 10/10

[gimli295]

please please please can someone upload the interview with chris and ola on bbc breakfast the monday after they won it? i need to see it!

[TilveranNavarre]

Ali and Brian went out on a high - perfect 50! I was a bit sad but I loved Team Cola in the final, they are worthy champions!

[rockinkitten]

I love it! I was gutted when they went out, would have loved to see them and Team Cola in the finals!

[TheEmsiepops]

I was team Cola all the way but was really shocked to see Ali go because I thought that Team Cola would go out

[MrSinister1979]

Too true. I was totally shocked as well, because I too had been expecting Team Cola to go, right up until the last moment before the results were announced.

[MrSinister1979]

Y'know, I honestly can't believe that Chris stayed in at Ali's expense. I mean, I love Chris - I think he has worked really hard, and has a lot of determination - but he absolutely *should not be in the final*. He looked like he knew that when the results were announced, too. Ali is a much better natural dancer, and after performances like this, and the dances she did this week (one of which got FIVE TENS!), her going out is utterly unbelievable! Unbelievable, I tells ya! :(

[ireallylovetwilight]

I compleatly agree with you its just as bad as craig staying in at zoe's expense

[MrSinister1979]

Yeah. The final is going to be a complete David vs. Goliath battle - but with the public apparently squarely behind Chris, I don't think he's the underdog anymore.

[lisjdk]

Well it can only be good when they use this kind of music!!

[grai]

isnt the music amazing????

I don't think this show gives the musicians ANTHING LIKE the credit they should

Just putting the camera on the band after the dance would be enough

they get forgotten - and they are 50% of what we see and enjoy - the dance AND the music is what the show is about

[codex601]

best week! loved watching all of them

[appleXinkling]

I love the whole ragdoll thing; Ali's best dance in my poinion: sheer fun!

[faj11]

wow! this dance was amazing!! Brians a really good choreographer!! hope they win!!

[nazmondo]

my favourite Ali dance, she looks so authentically 1920s :)

[traumahawk1973]

pure entertainment !!! funny and a breath of fresh air. well done to Ali and Brian.

[lifeonmars90]

Loved this dance by far one of there best . Ali was fab showed a different side to her . Ali and Brian 2 win all the way !

[mustbelovelovelove]

I so hope their going out their so cute together

ali and brian to win

[larifari12oder3]

this was soooo good! deserved top of the lederboard and i like brians facial expression at 0:10

[PunkieFunkieBabz]

those legs go on foreverrrrr.1:09

[PunkieFunkieBabz]

abosutlely and autally brilliant..choregraphy and music

Ali to win

[withalittlegrace]

the band did a really good job on paolo nutini's song. i loved ali's charleston but chris kicked butt ;)

[MrSinister1979]

Agreed. All of the Charleston dances were brilliant this week (although as you say, Chris Hollins' dance stole the show). This one makes me smile whenever I watch it :)

[The13thDoctor95]

it was good but not as good as chris and ola's

[strawberrysubmarine]

I enjoyed that :-)

[kittylyon]

Brian really is incredible at this! He is now one of my favourite pro's. This dance blew me away and I REALLY want them to win. Ricky Whittle has lost a bit of his enthusiasm and Ali has just kept on improving. 10!

[quietfi123]

I loved this routine out of the charlestons. It was fun and quirky and really brought Ali out her shell.

[Phaedrax2]

All the charleston dances this week were great, unfortunately, left the rock'nroll standing, but Ola & Chris did the best routine.

[Colonelyumyum]

The choreography is amazing, what an inspired performance, especially when you take the injury into account. Best dance of the night.

[alisonlp1969]

Brilliant Charleston by Ali and Brian, and I loved it so much. Ali and Brian to win.

[xali93x]

Was brilliant, but Chris' was better.. sorry

[pavlovsgirl]

For 20 of the 90 seconds she was standing still! How was this the best of the night? Utterly ridiculous.

[phoebegrove]

loved this. She was like a rag doll being shooked around. This & Chris & even Laila were the best. They deserved not tobe in bottom 2.

[KatieAckers]

this was gooood

but it's kinda weird

and i dont know why :L

[gilliansimpson8]

Incredible especially on a v.sore foot

[SgMummy]

Simply outstanding! Captured the entire emotion and storytelling from start to end.

[romangirl88]

She was fantastic. Well done Ali.

[miccato554]

for someone who couldn't even walk a couple of days ago she was amazing! GO ALI AND BRIAN!

[sarahlouise03]

it was good, though for me it was a bit messy...

though she looked amazing!

[Keeley1995nEm2002]

wow i loved this especially the beginning - she looked seriously 1920's whoop! x

[emmabtvs]

amazing! my favs ! well done Brian and Ali . You reallt made us proud

[Sartan773]

Incredible dance by Ali and Brian. Proved once and for all that she can nail the performance side of a dance!

I can really see her winning this now!!!
