Strictly 2025

What has Shirley got on her arms?

small pillows.

I agree Sparklefizz. I don’t think it was Balvinder’s best dance. I hope she’s not heading for another dance off.

Hi there!
I see Nikita didn't have time to get properly dressed

I usually love the American Smooth but Balvinder's wasn't great, I thought. The lifts were a bit "clunky".

Looking forward to enjoying another Strictly evening.

👋🏻 hello everyone !

^Flashing and jiggling his pecs can only go so far.^
That is so off-putting for me.

Me too.
Horrible!

For me,Harry was by far the best dancer. Judges' decision was pathetic.

I couldn't have made a decision this evening.

How is it fixed?

La Voix , that was a fix tonight , she is in line to be one of the new presenters I think. Harry did better I feel . I’m afraid La Voix irritates me

I think that was a narrow escape for La Voix. I don’t think she’d have survived a dance off against Alex. I’m so glad Alex is through to next week. She was very nervous this week and not up to her usual standard. I hope she’ll come back fighting next week.

I’m sorry to see him go though, he came over as a nice, humble man and gave his best - but his body wasn't built for dancing.

I'm so pleased Balvinder is through this time.

Like you, Paynes, I think Harry will be in the dance off. To be honest, I have had enough of seeing his pecs and muscles.

Yes, Harry is struggling. His powerful body works against him. Flashing and jiggling his pecs can only go so far.

For the first time, Alex looked unsure of herself.

I loved Balvinder and Julian dancing Bhangra and George and Alexis dacing the Viennese Waltz. It did really look like he was leading. The tango from Vicky and Kai was outstanding.

I’m not overkeen on the frenetic dances so the routines from Karen and Carlos and Amber and Nikita left me a bit cold although how Amber kept her head from spinning, Nikita was throwing her around so much, was a feat in itself.

I can’t make my mind up about Lewis. His background in dance gives him an edge so his progression through the competition doesn’t suprise me but doesn’t excite me either.

I have a feeling it will be Harry and LaVoix in the dance off or Harry and Alex with Harry leaving.

I think Harry is struggling now, I thought so last week too.

Some were not as good as others, but nobody was awful.

I did wonder if Johannes tweaked the choreography about as she seemed so unsure and nervous about performing it. It seemed technically sound and had dance appropriate music but definitely less dramatic and impactful than I would have expected from them.

I've no idea who's going to be (or rather, who was) in the dance off.

I think Alex is in danger if she is in the dance off.

I don't like the booing either eazybee - and in many cases now it's not just Craig.

Why boo when they are basically offering advice!

I just wish the audience would stop booing every time Craig doesn't give unqualified praise.

I will vote Balvinder as well. I like Le Voix and will give one vote, even though it was not her best dance.

She's such great fun but this week I can't vote just because I like her.

I shall vote for Balvinder again. I think she's under marked and should not be in the dance offs.

Great Tango by Vicky and Kai.
Kai's "Tango face" made me smile.

Aw George. I loved that dance.
