As the original thread has reached the 1000 post limits I thought I’d get another one going.

Did anyone see Lewis and Katya on It takes two tonight? Poor Katya seemed distraught.

I did not see it, but can imagine. This elimination was alful. He clearly is the best dancer. I know alot of people who can't be bothered to watch it now. I feel for them both.

Yes, I saw Katya and Lewis this evening. Poor Katya is heartbroken.

Millie22 Mon 08-Dec-25 22:06:19

I've just watched it and Katya cried through the whole time 🙁

I was looking forward to seeing their couples choice again as they probably would have done that in the final. Such a shame.

Yes, I saw it and Katya was distraught, Lewis not so much. it was a shameful result. The judges must take some responsibility because they have consistently voted Balvinder through in dance -offs and she really is not up to being in the semi-finals. I wonder why she suddenly got the vote from to be the first through, and where it came from, having been regularly in the bottom two.

The judges probably voted Balvinder through in the dance offs because she was better than whoever she was up against.

If Lewis or Amber had been in an earlier dance off against her, she would have been out.

I gave her 3 votes on Saturday, not having voted for her much before as I enjoyed her Viennese Waltz, I didn’t like either Lewis’ s or Karen’s this week.

Amber won’t win, even though she is now the best dancer left.

And often some weaker dancers have got through to the semi final.

The Winner is usually someone who has never been in the dance off.

eazybee Tue 09-Dec-25 07:53:46

Balvinder was not always better in the dance off but I cannot remember the names; twice I was surprised that the judges supported her. I don't expect Amber to win but i am sorry for Nikita; they are a wonderful partnership and I admire talent and presentation above all.
Dance: the art that conceals art.

‘Better’ in the judges opinion, I meant.

TillyTrotter Sat 13-Dec-25 18:41:57

There is something missing tonight - my favourite Lewis 😢

Maremia Sat 13-Dec-25 18:45:43

Good start Balvinder

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Dec-25 18:47:48

I quite liked Balvinder. I thought she was better than before

YorkLady Sat 13-Dec-25 18:51:52

Although I liked the dance, it was obvious that she was counting all the way through.
I think she will be in the dance off tonight again ☹️

eazybee Sat 13-Dec-25 18:53:47

I have decided not to watch it, I was so sickened by last week and I have a horrible feeling Balvinder will be in the final.

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Dec-25 18:54:59

Wow! I'm not a fan of Nikita (I don't know why) but his dancing is mesmerising and I can never take my eyes off him.
His choreography is always great.

merlotgran Sat 13-Dec-25 18:55:05

I miss Lewis. My interest is waning.

Maremia Sat 13-Dec-25 18:56:41

Such a shame you feel you can't watch it. Amber's tango is getting some harsh comments, but it was beautiful.

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Dec-25 18:57:07

Amber danced well to the Tango. I wish I liked her but canny thole her

YorkLady Sat 13-Dec-25 18:58:28

Agree. That was so professional from both of them. Unfortunately I can’t take to Amber and the show has lost its sparkle for me too.

Millie22 Sat 13-Dec-25 19:02:50

Missing Lewis and Katya tonight.

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Dec-25 19:03:56

I miss Lewis. His dancing and Katya's choreography were always exciting.

Karen looks beautiful. Is she crying?

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Dec-25 19:05:14

I really liked Karen's waltz tonight. I thought she captured it well

Casdon Sat 13-Dec-25 19:07:43

I agree, and her dress is lovely too.

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Dec-25 19:10:35

Karen and Carlos thoroughly deserved those marks. Well done to them.

YorkLady Sat 13-Dec-25 19:11:44

Karen and Carlos: Just beautiful.
I really hope she wins this competition.
