    I don,t know what it is about this pair,but there,s just no charisma about them. They don,t stand out at all in any way and it,s as if ,,,if they were,nt there,nobody would miss them. Just can,t explain it.

    I think Jared Murillo and Tina are doing a great job and Tina has loads of potential and could WIN this compettion.



    I have never been intrested in dancing before, but watching Jared is really inspiring me and he is a sensational chorographer and a brilliant perfessional. What Jared produces is really inspiring.Jared is my fav perfessional dancer. His also my hero and Idol.

    Sadly, I think young Jared is a bit out of his depth. Sweet boy, but struggling to create choreography and routines that hold your attention and develop.

    I hope that the effects of the Chicken Pox are wearing off as although the little mites get stressed out and tearful it really knocks adults for six. I was forty when I was infected and took a week before I was back to normal. Still you are younger and a woman and we all know that the female of the species is much stronger, especially Mums.



    Jared

    I hope that your family are enjoying their trip to the UK, sorry about the weather but at least it will give you all something to discuss, apart from dancing and infectious diseases.

    Right now the pair of you are the dark horses as you may be young but you have not got a lot of previous form on SCD.

    Good Luck to you both and come out dancing for all your worth.

    After all Tina you survived Brian's cruise along the canal in the family car, spending 200 seconds on a well lit dance floor in Ladbroke Grove should be a piece of cake.

    Keeeep Dancing!!!

    Welcome back Tina



    Good Luck to you after the enforced Pit Stop, I hope that both you and Scarlett are now fighting fit.

    Make sure that Jared works hard to give you a suitable routine for this week that will make you look great without draining the battery.

    Best wishes for Saturday night and Keeeep Dancing!!!

    Your training tape on ITT looked very good tonight and you both seem to be enjoying the Charleston.

    Tina, don't worry about the spots as the makeup totally takes care of them and anyway when you smile that lights up your eyes and outshines all the other features.

    Good Luck for Saturday, make sure that you get enough sleep to keep that battery fully charged.

    Keeeep Dancing!!!

    Tina & Jared (or should I say Jarina!)

    You two are soooo cute together!!! I hope you win :)

    Best wishes and as Bruce would say: You're my favourite!

  • Comment number 8.

    Very good effort for her first week back - not easy after a virus and I hope she hasn't exhausted herself. Also enjoyed Jared in the Jive.



    Well done.

  • Comment number 9.

    Jared, excellent choreography which looked fantastic without tasking Tina too much and wearing her out; I am definitely looking forward to seeing what you have planned for next Saturday. I am not familiar with the technical terms for your moves but they certainly got the job done.

    Tina, you were not as laid back as Jodie Foster but you were certainly more Tallulah than Blousey Brown! Your outfit was very flattering as you sparkled throughout the routine and you certainly seemed to enjoy it. Never mind Bruno's thoughtless wise crack about your energy levels and concentrate on the positives that Craig gave you.

    You got my vote for Most Improved couple this week, Good Luck for Saturday, stick to good wholesome dancing, no Trick or Treating, it only distracts from the smooth performances that you two are giving.

    Keeeep Dancing!!!

    Tina



    Your routine for Saturday was looking good on IT2 this evening. Of course you can do smouldering and sexy, you are an Actress!

    Despite what one sees as entertainment on the Telly nowadays, acting is not just about who can shout, scream, whinge, cry or go psycho the loudest.

    You know that you can do it, reach down to your emotional treasure chest, pull out the bag marked 'Femme Fatale' and liberally apply it.



    Jared



    Again good choreography which makes Tina look super without draining the Battery but you will have to change from fresh faced farm boy to arrogant Spanish bull killer to make it really convincing.

    My favourite Paso Doble is the finale in Baz Luhrmann's 'Strictly Ballroom' where Scott and Fran (Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice) set the world alight.



    Good Luck to both of you on Saturday, you have got youth on your side, so make Scarlett proud of her Mum!!

    Keeeep Dancing!!!

    Sorry Guys - Time Out.

    I had Paso Doble on my mind because of a question for Len.

    It does not change what I feel about your dance routine, except that Jared has to be the dusty, strong, silent Gaucho who badly needs the company of a sex siren after days on the range with only cattle and his Bolas for company.

    Tina of course is the desirable lady of the dance hall, who only wants one thing from you Jared - your money!

    I know that you can both pull it off so Go For It and blow the Judges away !

    I really enjoyed their Charleston and was a bit annoyed with Len saying it was more like a stage school performance, I thought the whole point of the Charleston was that it was performance and not necessarily technique at least that was what they seemed to be saying all week and on Saturday.

    It was one of my favourite Charlestons of the night and was really happy Tina and Jared got a really good score. Can't wait for Saturday to see their next performance.

    Yes I agree that the Judges were treating Tina and Jared like "sweet little youngsters" and although I agree that there is still room for improvement, I have been impressed with their performance so far.

    I think that Jared is quite a canny choreographer and has the ability to help Tina achieve a great deal.

    They have both got youth on their side and Tina is five years younger than Rachel Stevens who was taken to the final by the very talented Vincent.

    My head says that Matt, Scott, Kara, Pamela and Patsy are the main competition but my heart wants Tina to do a 'National Velvet' and ride in to the final at least.

    My usual opinion is that old age and experience will always beat youth and enthusiasm, but I hope that this couple can prove me wrong on this occasion.

    Keeeep Dancing!!!

    Strictly will not be the same without you two.

  • Comment number 15.

    Bad luck, Tina. You didn't deserve to go.

  • Comment number 16.

    Have just watched the 'Sunday' results show and am so sorry to see you go. You brought a sweet enthusiasm and youthfull effervescence to the dances. Good luck with whatever you both go on to now and YES Tina you really should keep dancing!! xxxx

    Sorry to see you leave, my 4 year old daughter has gone to bed sobbing because the lady with the chicken pox wont be dancing next week!!! Your number one in her eyes x

  • Comment number 18.

    Too early for Tina to go, a pity really. I wonder if she would have faired better this week if she had be given the Jive instead of the A.T.



    I will miss not seeing her on the show next week.

    Tina & Jared

    It was not fair, but then life rarely is!

    I thought that Ne-Yo's track of Beautiful Monster was a handicap, but nevertheless you did a splendid Argentine Tango, despite what anyone else may say.

    You can both walk out of Strictly with your heads held high, it was simply statistics that beat you, not lack of talent or effort.

    Tina, Good Luck with Waterloo Road and the forthcoming Pantomime, you have proved that you have the talent and the gumption to be more than just a 'one-soap pony'. Show them what the pretty lady from Rusholme is capable of and do not feel alone, as you have a great future together with the beautiful Scarlett.

    Jared, I think that you did well, especially for a young man, even though you have been winning ballroom competitions and dancing on stage and film since before puberty.

    Your choreography this week was not just Gaucho and Temptress it was Borg Queen and Data; really out of this World!

    Keeeep Dancing!!!

    I'm really sorry to see Tina and Jared go, they were my favourite couple and defnitely deserved to stay! They worked really hard, were both really enthusiastic and were always fab to watch! They also seem like really lovely people, so I wish them both good luck for the future and encurage Tina to keep dancing and Jared to keep dancing and choreographing as brilliantly as he does!
