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.

Amber was good. Professional standard. Oh wait, that's what she is!

But wasn't that supposed to be a quickstep?
I was waiting for them to break into a lovely quickstep but it continued as a show dance.

No, it was their Couples Choice.

They have moved the professional dancers around, in the background

Maremia Sat 13-Dec-25 19:51:42

Karen is doing well.

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Dec-25 19:52:10

Allira it was a couples choice so bits of everything I suppose
I thought Karen was very good but occasionally gawky.

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Dec-25 19:53:26

I don't think Amber will win - for the same reason that Layton didn't win in the past - because the public know that she's a professional dancer. But obviously it's great to see her dancing.

I think Karen might win.

Calendargirl Sat 13-Dec-25 19:53:57

Karen’s didn’t warrant 10’s,

Maremia Sat 13-Dec-25 19:54:34

Here goes George

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Dec-25 19:56:31

George's Charleston was quirky with great lifts.
(Anyone else think that George wearing those glasses looks like a young Rolf Harris ?)

TillyTrotter Sat 13-Dec-25 19:57:24

Surprise of tonight is George.
He’ll get most of my votes.

Casdon Sat 13-Dec-25 20:00:16

I really enjoyed that George and Alexis.

I've voted - 3 for George and 2 for Karen.
See you tomorrow for the results.

Maremia Sat 13-Dec-25 20:06:29

Just about to vote. George and Karen.

nanaK54 Sat 13-Dec-25 20:09:27

My votes:
2 for George
3 for Karen

Good show really enjoyed it

I was not going to watch this week due to the elimination of Lewis snd Katya, however I did snd found the show a bit underwhelming, apart from Karen and Carlos.
I thought what Nikita said about Amber was lovely and it needed to be said. Amber is not my favourite, it was always Lewis for me, but hate, that is dreadful, and no one should have to put up with that. Very well spoken Nikita.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 13-Dec-25 20:22:00

I found it rather underwhelming for a semi final too rafichagran . All the poorer for no Lewis and it showed. Certainly not the same standard at this stage of the competition as in past years.

My votes went to George 4, Balvinder 1.

Bukkie Sat 13-Dec-25 21:21:50

I too hope Karen wins now my favourites Lewis and Katya have gone. Amber is a brilliant dancer but her fake humility is cringeable.

Allsorts Sat 13-Dec-25 21:28:02

I gave up on it. The judges seem manic now and the dancers professional.

Maremia Sun 14-Dec-25 07:20:31

Headlne, online just now, 'Lewis Cope career boost after Strictly ', but I can't get into the story.
Good news for him. A happier ending to his Strictly adventure 🕺

eazybee Sun 14-Dec-25 07:30:26

I didn't watch Strictly, I really couldn't, but I read of Nikita's speech this morning about Amber, referring to the hate directed at her. Shameful.
Surely Balvinder has to go now.

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Dec-25 07:43:03

Yes, Nikita spoke well and it was shocking to hear about the vitriol directed at Amber.

Calendargirl Sun 14-Dec-25 07:47:50

It all felt a bit ‘flat’ last night, and the judges seemed to be trying to boost interest in it all.

Nannylovesshopping Sun 14-Dec-25 09:24:50

I love strictly, but this year am drowning in all the emotional tears, it’s just too much, get a grip people!!

Maremia Sun 14-Dec-25 09:27:40

To be honest, I just watch the dancing, and move around, tidying up, or fast forward the 'emotional journeys' and so they don't bother me.

Nannee49 Sun 14-Dec-25 11:06:16

Thanks all for keeping me up to date since I (spat out my dummy) decided to vote with my feet and not watch after Lewis' elimination.

It all feels a bit of a swizz as the judges surely know he is the best, don't know what the agenda is really.
