Jamie Borthwick & Michelle Tsiakkas Jive to The Ketchup Song by Las Ketchup ✨ BBC Strictly 2024

[@ravenclawrumba7096]

I loved this, best Jive this series by far, I really feel like the judges have been scoring Jamie alot harsher than anyone else, and again Michelle's choreography was incredible. 9/10

[@BDog54]

Jamie has handled the criticism (much of which I think has been unfair, considering other celebs are bigged up for far worse), with grace and a smile. He brings so much joy and sensitivity when he dances, I always look forward to him dancing. He deserves a place in that final.

[@stephanieghuman986]

Absolutely amazing. The judges were ridiculously harsh on Jamie again!! This was the dance of the season so far. Brilliant!

[@lucyquinnell3204]

Fab! Such fun and very cool, and so much energy! Michelle is surely one of the most beautiful people in the world, and Jamie is so authentic and sweet. Great talented couple and hugely entertaining. I usually hate the cheesy numbers but this one really works.

[@lisaR.3]

Judges were super harsh with Jamie again! I think him and Michelle are dynamite on the dance floor! This was a very good effort of a very technical dance. The extra dancers did kinda get in the way of him shining at times. The judges were so picky and praised other performances that weren’t of this level of dance. Keep your chin up, Jamie. You’re an awesome dancer and remember that. You’ll come back stronger!

[@mon.tracyy]

His dance got underscored again, this deserved at least 9s

[@deltafay1981]

I'm getting really sick of Jamie not getting the respect he deserves. This was a smashing routine..he danced it really really well.

[@ME-Oxon]

@@deltafay1981 You're not alone. It's so annoying, isn't it?!

[@sunflowersesameseed]

How on Earth did Shirley give this an 8, and then give Pete an 8 as well?! Robbed of atleast four 9s, this for me was the joint dance of the night with Tashas!! ❤

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

Well he has been overmarked for weeks shirley as been gaslighting him

[@nasamanithorne2600]

Yes, Shirley talks about technique when it suits her, can someone like that be a judge?

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

@nasamanithorne2600 i've been saying it for a while now she needs to go

[@obedthemagnificent7128]

Looking at his feet they were a bit slow for a jive. The kicks have to be like thunder but I understand your point still

I love watching Jamie dance. His foot flicks were superb. Fast and sharp a finalist for me. ❤

[@zxcvbnm04]

how shirley gave this the same score as Pete and anton thought it one mark more than pete is beyond me. absolutely ridiculous

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

Da faq is with the Judges with Jamie and Michelle??? This was so exciting and riding a ketchup bottle was a highlight of the night for me. Jamie really enjoyed that and it showed in his dancing!! Deserved better!! 9/10

[@ajhawkinsspike5261]

jamie and michelle dude! you two are the best dancing couples and you two are getting close to the final next month!😎

[@AJHawkins-dr6cu]

I love those couples dude!😍😎

[@bessieburnet9816]

I wasn't expecting _that_ with the extra dancers! 😂 Beautiful! 😂 What a great Jive from Jamie. I just feel the choreography held him back a bit, but what he did was brilliant! So fun and cool!

[@ribena607]

This was a fun dance. The background dancers dressed as ketchup and mustard had me laughing throughout!

[@DianSunny]

I liked this the way Jamie goes on about chips is so funny 🤣🤣

[@lindadriessen9027]

😅 Reality and Inspiration. Well danced and good story telling. Very playful.

[@Charliefarley170287]

I was distracted by the ketchup and mustard bottles on the live show but on this rewatch I can see Jamie is amazing! He’s as good as Michelle!

[@SusanPalmer-c9v]

Loved this Jive ❤

[@judithbolley9516]

Absolutely loooooooooved it!!!! Choreo and Jamie were out faaaab but possibly the best was Dave Archer's rendition of the Ketchup Song. AMAAAAZING!!!!

[@JONAS-co4ut]

My favourite of the evening - his musicality is marvellous!

[@Sunyatayoga-xc3hb]

totally underscored amazing dance wow what did the judges see this was not an 8

This brought me so much joy 🤩

[@Bluebeary6021]

The judges are so harsh, how was this scoring the same as bloody Pete?!

[@zarakhan9775]

Undernarked

[@adeallan14]

I thought it was overworked! Such a messy dance, getting too close to the additional dancers at times.

[@aideencooney1685]

As usual!!

[@ScottRandolph-dd7dr]

😋 ketchup and mustard are delicious on fries ..and so was this dance. 😂 watching from coastal Mississippi 👋

[@rafaelyaguaro2842]

I KNEW they were going to get done dirty with the song and the singers! Horrid choice for them, but Jamie pull it off and Michelle wasn't going to be put down by a bad song choice! Both are killing it!

[@CloudWatcher500]

I’m an American and I don’t know who is the pro and it took me quite a while to think that maybe the female is the pro? But the fact that I had trouble says that these people should have gotten a really high mark.

[@AshleighLuckhurst]

Yes Michelle is the pro and Jamie is an actor. However I agree they should of been marked high.

[@the5thjudge]

Our scores: Me: 9 Diya: 9 Kelsey: 8 Owen: 9 35/40 I really enjoyed this, and clearly so did Jamie. His kicks and flicks were sharp, lovely retraction. Yes his feet were turned in, and Id love if when his feet aren’t moving, he keeps his torso moving in some way so that the energy doesn’t fall flat. Otherwise, a lot of fun and put a smile on everyones faces!

[@themancunian777]

I think Jamie and Michelle should have been marked higher this week - great dance and so watchable 😊👍

[@dancingqueen0728]

The sinchronicity! Love it.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *9* I think the judges almost expect Jamie to be at a higher level than the rest all the time, when the Jive was here, it was full on quality, all the retraction and kicks and flicks were spot on, all the work in hold was nice expecially the drunken sailors. I think the issue was the start and getting into the Jive, sometimes it looks a little awkward and I wasn't sure on the free arm, should have been 4 9's tho come on, that was abit harsh

[@Hyperlophus]

That was both good and super fun!

[@WandaWitch2800]

Feel bad for the backup dancers. Probably so excited to dance at Blackpool only to be ketchup and mustard bottles🤣

[@gm-wb5fn]

Same score for Jamie and Pete, Shirley is a horrible (head) judge, she should be ashamed. For me, this was amazing, loved it.

[@Akili1880]

Yessss

[@sunflowersesameseed]

Exactly, it's not an entertainment show (well, it is but you can't give an 8 based on an outfit!), it's about dance quality!

[@MsKatyDod]

How on EARTH can you give this dance the same mark as Pete’s??? This was sooooo much better than his, and was also much more technical and demanding. Bizarre.

[@mariyanamt]

Shirley needs to be voted off as a head judge . Or even as a judge. Tired of this unfairness.

[@Akili1880]

LOVED THIS HAD MY VOTE❤❤❤

[@superjoelad4905]

Jamie is dancing with Ketchup and Mustard LOL🤣

[@traceybradbury5022]

Jamie to win 🎉

[@zxaddictxz]

I think this Jive has some potential, but without background dancers and with extra training. I hope Jamie and Michelle will polish it and dance it in the final.

[@acelister16]

completely undermarked motsi gave him the tiniest bit of criticism then gave him 8 it should have been 9 that’s just her never mind the rest

How was THAT stage entrance got approved for before the watershed? 😂🌶

[@Kw33nS4it]

He’s allegedly quite, erm, well endowed 👀 so it was probably a little nod towards that lol.

[@glenngarner7610]

Great fun, , and once again I feel the judges were too ready to criticise and not give the praise this routine deserved.

[@teresahobday7836]

Super duper.... Boo to the judges. X

[@user-gp9es3rd3e]

I loved this routine! What I appreciate about Michelle (and Lauren's and also Dianne's balroom) choreo is that the routines are fresh and fun but they are still very much doing the actual dance steps and not just *Len voice* faffing around)

[@Coconut_2024]

I love Jamie and Michelle dancing together it would be nice if they be together as a couple wish Jamie All the best in strictly 🤞

[@user-ed7iq7pm1j]

Wow that is fast. Well done.

[@MsKatyDod]

A little bit gimmicky (especially with the dancing condiments), but it worked AND it was entertaining! Quite a good dance, really. They aren’t my fave couple, but I’m still happy to see them do well, which they DID tonight! I would probably give that an 8.

[@HelenBelither-v6s]

That performance deserved a 10 Jamie Both wick is the best dancer of all time

[@victoriamullins7965]

I quite liked it... go Jamie! Let's face it, if you asked Wynne or Pete to do it, you would see how well he actually danced it! 😮😂 Others have been overmarked tonight, but not Jamie & Michelle.

[@catherineb738]

Could have been on his toes a bit more, did look like he was standing straight for most of it. But a fast jive, good kicks and flicks.

[@sajjadali2008]

He wasn't fast or slick enough for a 10 but definitely a 9. Under marked! The final now is between Jamie, Tasha, JB and Chris/Sarah for fourth. Tasha should win but maybe Chris or Sarah will win instead?

[@faegibb4043]

Chris will win the public vote is going his way. Sarah and tasha will be there too 4th place is up for grabs but I would love Jamie to get it

[@Akili1880]

PLEASE WIN ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mateuszkuchnecki]

Ok, this was a high energy jive, which is not always easy to do and he should get credit for that. However, the kicks were very weak and the upper body looked like it was dancing something else than the legs. 7

He needed to use his ankles more and be more on the balls of his feet and if he would have softened his knees more inyo tye ground it would have been more rocking. They go on about his salsa and stuff, tho hes as stiff as a board sometimes but this jive was his best latin dance.

[@maarkyboii2557]

Jamie’s been amazing! I really am rooting for him. But choreography or steps has to be elevated a little bit more. I think that’s what the judges are waiting for. Jamie is so good though, im sure they’ll come up with a showstopper like the paso doble soon enough.

[@faegibb4043]

They did a paso already it was amazing😊

[@Tijnforever]

Amazing in all .....❤

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

the thing is jaimie was made to believe he is better than he is shirly overmarked him every week ! she built him up and now she is given him the correct scoring ! cant help but feel sorry for him though ! because shirley as gaslighted him right from the start ! he aint got a chance of winning ?and she and the other judges know that

[@grahamcraig3173]

Dance of the.nite despite Judges bias BS comments & score yet again

[@MatthewBurke-hn9ch]

Controversial but the dance was very good and I love Michelle as a pro. I think she is a great new addition and should get a celeb every year but the theming for this dance was a bit strange. All of the themes tonight have been a bit strange tbh but well done Jamie and Michelle

[@sunflowersesameseed]

I thought the theme was odd, (fun in a way, though) but the song is actually perfect for the energy levels of the dance!! 😂

[@JKReAl]

Always under marked

[@JanetMcquillan-q9g]

He is quite a good dancer. Why did they surround himbwith those ridiculously dressed dancers. Mocking?!

[@crockkett]

Again & again this is happening , how many songs out there that you can jive to & they pick a latin = salsa, samba even rumba song ,what is wrong with this person that picks the song to the dance , there doing it to appease every body & not showing the song genre to the dance they used to do it to, surely it would show & educate younger viewers what ppl used to dance to when it was around or popular............... that said did like the routine & this is a great partnership & enjoy there dances

Great but not his best dance performance Me 8 Dad 9 Mum 8 Grace 8

W tym odcinku były bardzo dziwne tańce i muzyka, wręcz nieadekwatne do Blackpool. Ten jive, cha cha Peta, charleston do Les Torreadors, quickstep do Never Gonna Give You Up. A tak narzekamy na dobór utworów u nas. 😅

[@aleksandernowak3920]

@@Kacpi0044 Ja chcę wiedzieć jak ten taniec powstał. Wyobrażam sobie scenkę, zajarany reżyser i producent jedzą frytki, palą wiadomo co i jest taka rozmowa: "E, stary, jest jive na Blackpool do ogarnięcia, co proponujesz?" "Wiesz co, zróbmy tak by publiczność to zapamiętała" " Okej, to wiesz może, może damy jakąś klasyczną muzykę, może Hit the...." "Nie, nie, nie, słuchaj mordo, mam plan (Zaciąga się buchem)" " Co proponujesz"? " Czekaj, myślę, Ty dobre te frytki nie? "No w sumie spoko, ale jak to ma się do jive tego typa?" " MAM! Ty słuchaj, Niech gościu na początku zjedzie na takiej wielkiej butelce od kuchupu!" " Tyyyyy, dobre, i co dalej? (Zaciąga się)" " No mordo, potem dołączą do niego tancerki! Ale wiesz co, niech będą ubrane jako butelki od ketchupu i musztardy!" "Zioooooom........ No ale do czego zatańczą? Ty i ketchup się kończy. To był nasz ostatni" "Last Ketchup!? O, to wiem, Las Ketchup! One miały te..... aserecośtam! " Ziom ale to salsa jest, albo samba?" "(Zaciąga się) To damy do muzyka by zrobili z tego Jive!" " Jesteś geniuszem!" Tak było, nie zmyślam !

[@a_little_flame589]

i'm sorry can we stop with the gimmick dances for people who aren't trying to be a meme like ed ball (or theme week) ed balls coming down on ketchup bottle hilarious jamie coming down on a ketchup bottle a massive waste of time for a dance i'd imagine he'd be quite good at

[@meredithgrace4337]

And last but certainly not least is Jamie Bothwick and Michelle Tsiakkas dancing the Jive. OH dear this is the dance to end the night on is it ouch I think Chris and Dianne should have ended the show like last week but that's just me. I thought that this dance looked awkward, Jamie was not on the balls of his feet so he could not do his kicks and flicks right, this dance was too slow and it was some sort of weird fever dream coming down from the ceiling on a ketchup bottle, danced around by little packs of ketchup I am sorry to say it but I didn't understand this dance at all. What I do understand however is that Jamie has untapped potential and I do not think Michelle is giving complicated routines for Jamie to dance and I think it is because she is not technically the best pro to teach him, if he had gotten Katya for example he would be at the top of the leader board however ever tho I think Michelle as a person is great, her training ability is lacking other wise Jamie would have more complicated dance routines to do. I am not saying this is Michelle's fault far from it I am saying the producers should have paired Jamie with a pro who is more well know and has been on the show a little longer. Not my favourite dance of the night and I think Chris and Dianne should have ended the show like last week but that's just me.

[@AshleighLuckhurst]

I think your really underestimating Michelle there. She is easily one of the best pros on the show now in terms of choreography, teaching ability and likability. Her and Jamie are great together and that dance was spectacular. You say about putting him with a more established pro but the more established pros are already gone or not doing great and sitting at the bottom of the leaderboard.
