Evgeniia LOPAREVA / Alexey KARPUSHOV -  RUS
SD Cha Cha: Kiss by Tom Jones, Samba: In Style and Rhythm by Tom Jones;

choreo by Ekaterina Rubleva and Ivan Shefer

That score would have been so good but for the fall - they'd have been in the lead.. 

 

is that a thong?! 

Evgenia and Alexei

twizzles are a bit too far away from each other

I hate this music... 

On the whole, they didn't look as good as the previous Russian pair. God, can we get some half-decent dancers at last? 

Please let it be a costume malfunction

Ted, Yev-ge-nia. ge as in get.

Marie DUPAYAGE / Thomas NABAIS - FRA
Rhumba: Take It Easy My Brother Charles by Jorg Ben Jor,

Cha Cha: Un Canto a mi tierra by Quantic and his Combo Barbaro,

Samba: Real in Rio by Real Copa;

choreo by Karine Arribert

Yeah, they are behind Ksenia and Grigory, as they should 

omg ... marie's dress is horrendous 

Why did I feel that the tacky costume is from Team France (shades of Nathalie Pechalat). The costume looks like crepe paper glued together.

Contender for worst dress of the series- if it didn't feel cruel I'd be nominating it for costumes we love to hate

Marie and Thomas

Brazilian flags from France\

lost the twizzles

they look slow... 

nah, not my cup of tea, sorry!

I liked Nathi's costumes, usually they were creative and different.

 

I like the colours of Marie's costume, reminds of the Brazilian flag.

 

I'm not usually a fan of regulations on what you can and can't wear but I could do with less nudity tbh
these are all minors too...
