Farewell Tina Cross

Leaving tonight is … Tina Cross and Aaron Gilmore!

In Episode 1, Tina and Aaron had the third highest score of 32 with their Cha-Cha-Cha. Episode 2 saw them rise to the second highest score with 29 after dancing the Quickstep. In the third episode they placed third with a score of 31 after dancing the Jive – however they were in the bottom two. Things picked up dramatically for the pair in Episode 4 when they danced the Paso Doble and tied for first equal with Temepara and Stefano.

Tonight saw them dance the Samba and Swing Waltz and end up with the second lowest score (24) above Cory and Rebecca. Their fantastic dancing last week wasn’t enough to keep them in the competition, with Jason Gunn calling this the first “shock elimination” of the show this year.

    This was a bit of a shock! The judges didn’t help with their low scoring of a dance I didn’t think was THAT bad. The other thing I don’t think helped was the charity in terms of getting the ‘young’ vote. (I do however think its a worthwhile cause :) ) But then again how much of the 13+ demographic actually watch this show?

    EVERYONE knows who Temepara George, Cory Hutchings or Monty Beatham is – Can I say sports anyone? However Tina MAY have missed out on the younger vote

    I was pleased tonight for Monty because he has been getting really HARSH comments from the judges

    Was expecting she would go. Not because she deserved to go on performances, always thought she was quite good, but thinking she didn’t have the ‘likability’ needed on this.
    Don’t think I’ve ever heard such harsh comments for something by Aaron, from the judges!

    Cory was the one that ought to have gone – on performance!
    But each year we see this is much more of a popularlity contest!
