So, I've heard of 8 of the celebrities but some of those I've literally just heard the names - don't know what they actually do.

Given my interests though, it's unlikely I would be able to identify a reality "celebrity" (I mean the Love Island type shows) a blogger/vlogger/influencer or most sports people.

Anyone know all of them?

Oh well that shows you what I know, Chris is safe 😂

We’re in uncharted territory with no Stefan now either, because assuming Ross is one of the bottom two, who will be the other?

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Oct-25 19:36:18

What did you think of the professionals' dance? Personally I hated it.

Awful.

Ross has to lose the dance off - he is the worst dancer IMO.

I loved Balvinder's dance and voted for her. The music and dance reminded me of watching old black and white "Fred'n'Ginger" films on tv with my Mum when I was a child.

Why didn’t the musician playing the shamisen with Lang Lang get a mention? It was beautiful.

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Oct-25 19:59:19

Yes, I noticed he wasn't mentioned merlotgran

Casdon Sun 12-Oct-25 20:02:14

Right result. I wonder if Chris will improve further next week.

And there wasn't even a close-up of him playing.

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Oct-25 20:05:31

Well, that's it for another week. The right person went home.

Grannynannywanny Sun 12-Oct-25 20:08:24

I was sad to see Balvinder in the dance off. I thought she danced much better than Chris.

merlotgran Sun 12-Oct-25 20:11:58

I have always suspected the early dance offs are rigged to get rid of the duffers.

The professional dancers were appealing to the young viewers with their minecraft themed dance.

The correct couple left in my opinion.

Grannynannywanny Sun 12-Oct-25 20:30:36

I missed them saying it was Minecraft. I hadn’t a clue what was going on. I was watching while chatting on WhatsApp to my 2 granddaughters and their mums who are 3 miles and 140 miles away. We usually watch it together and comment on the dances, outfits etc. It was only when one of them asked if I liked the Minecraft dance that the penny dropped.

La Voix popped up on my FB feed today, and he was singing Bring him Home from Les Mis, and has a stunning voice (I suppose I should have guessed from his name smile )

He is clearly a trained singer so I Googled him and discovered he is multi talented.

I'm afraid I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to drag artists but I've really warmed to him/her.

Yes I suppose his name is a bit of a giveaway! Will have to listen to that.

Here we go, DH is cooking so I should be able to watch unhindered…

Sparklefizz Sat 18-Oct-25 18:38:45

What a fabulous opener from Karen and Carlos - terrific dancing and a beautiful dress.

Sparklefizz Sat 18-Oct-25 18:43:39

Six from Craig????? Nooooo! Ridiculous scores.

MollyNew Sat 18-Oct-25 18:47:09

I thought Karen was undermarked but then, I often seem to disagree with the judges.

Same in our house!!

rafichagran Sat 18-Oct-25 18:47:48

Just finished dinner so I can watch uninterrupted too. I liked Karen, and am enjoying Harry's Rumba. X

Sparklefizz Sat 18-Oct-25 19:08:49

What happened to the Charleston swivels? Even Craig, who constantly looks for them, hasn't mentioned the lack of them in that routine.

Millie22 Sat 18-Oct-25 19:10:47

Slightly overmarked me thinks.
