Strictly 2025

I've given 3 votes to George and 2 to Balvinder. Those were the 2 routines I enjoyed .... the others not so much.

Agree gbatty

Hmm, Lewis has danced better. The music again didn't fit the actual dance. The music is clearly for a mambo not a samba. There's been a mismatch all night with every dance.

Wasn't*

It was t meant to be harsh. I like Balvinder but she's consistently been in the dance off for weeks now. Clearly people don't warm to her. I would prefer to see her in the semi than Amber who dances professionally on the west end.

It was like watching a show dance in the West End! Amber was born to dance.

OMG Amber’s Charleston.
A M A ZING!!

Why do we need all these extra dancers tonight?

I know at Blackpool they are needed to fill the huge space, but not in the usual venue.

Distracts from the actual couple.

I preferred Bal’s dance to Karen’s tonight.

Me too!

Plenty of swivel in Amber's Charleston!

A beautifully elegant Viennese Waltz from Balvinder and Jules. I loved her dress.

I agree, also loved the dress.

Balvinder was ok but I think she's got the sympathy applause because everyone knows she's going home.

That's a bit harsh Grandmabatty

Balvinder has so much grace in this ballroom dance. She put her heart and soul into it.

Neil was being his usual annoying self and shouting out.
Sweet Charity has the most amazing Bob Fosse choreography and it wasn't even hinted at. Poor show.

Good dance Karen and Carlos. What was the dialogue between Neil and Motsi?

I liked it but didn't think he was too strong. The music did not match the dance style. And the same with Karen. Nothing fitted together. There's very little hippy element in the musical and The rhythm of life is not a good match with a samba

WOW!! Sensational Argentine Tango from George and Alexis!!
Fantastic!

I just hope she isn't pushed through to the final.

I expected Balvinder and Alex to be in the dance off. I love Alex and was hoping to see her through to the final. But I feel she’s lost her mojo in the past 2 weeks and perhaps struggling with an injury.

I think that was a fair outcome from the dance off. Balvinder deserves to go through to next week.

Totally irrelevant, but didn’t think the headband/scarf thing that they had Alex in did her any favours- somehow to me made her look older and a bit past it. She’s never come across like that before.

I think you’re right Sparklefizz, she did look tired, and seemed happy to go, having achieved the week she did. She was much better in the dance off than her first attempt though.

I'll miss them!

I don't think Alex has any more left to give, and is probably secretly relieved. She can have a lie in on Monday morning!
