Strictly 2025

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!

I'll miss them!

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's a bit harsh Grandmabatty

I agree, also loved the dress.

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

Plenty of swivel in Amber's Charleston!

Calendargirl

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

Me too!

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.

OMG Amber’s Charleston.
A M A ZING!!

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

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.

Wasn't*

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.

Agree gbatty

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