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.

And an impressive and elegant Viennese Waltz from George and Alexis.

The Paso was one of Amber’s best dances but she has had many.

I had never heard of Karen, George or Amber before they appeared on Strictly, and knew nothing about online abuse that Karen had been subjected to in the past, which was awful.

I have judged them on how they have come across, and how they have performed.

I am no dancer, but go with how I feel.

I enjoyed George's Viennese waltz too

Calendargirl Sat 20-Dec-25 19:28:58

I like Anton’s cream velvet jacket.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 20-Dec-25 19:29:33

George made it look effortless. Fabulous.

Loved that Shirley gave them a tutorial. Is that new?

GrannyGravy13 Sat 20-Dec-25 19:34:15

Karen and Carlos, were fabulous 👏👏👏

The judges usually do that in the final.

Loved Karen and Carlos's Argentine Tango. Very sharp. Fabulous.

Great first dances from everyone.
How do you decide who to vote for?. I love both George and Karen!

Sparklefizz Sat 20-Dec-25 19:39:05

My daughter says we get 8 votes online tonight.

True. But don’t vote just yet.

Terrific choreography by Nikita ... those unusual lifts!!

Grandmabatty Sat 20-Dec-25 19:47:30

I didn't like amber's show dance. There wasn't much dancing, just a lot of lifts

Grandmabatty Sat 20-Dec-25 19:58:05

George's show dance was heavy on the lifts too but somehow it was better and more fluid than amber

Sparklefizz Sat 20-Dec-25 19:59:55

I thought it was a little disjointed but perhaps I'm missing something.

Maremia Sat 20-Dec-25 20:03:25

Thanks Sparkle.

Calendargirl Sat 20-Dec-25 20:05:41

I thought all the show dances were a bit disappointing, TBH.

YorkLady Sat 20-Dec-25 20:05:57

Well I preferred George’s show dance, Karen was a bit too frenetic for me.

TillyTrotter Sat 20-Dec-25 20:07:50

Yes I feel that too.
Katen’s was too frantic for me and not in sync with Carlos for much of the time.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 20-Dec-25 20:11:20

Loving the Claudia wigs 🤣

rafichagran Sat 20-Dec-25 20:24:06

I have changed my mind about Amber. I would like to see her win. She has had alot to put up with, and still dances like that.
I also love Karen as well.

Sparklefizz Sat 20-Dec-25 20:26:12

Wow! I don't remember George's Paso being so mesmerising when he danced it before!!

merlotgran Sat 20-Dec-25 20:31:59

George gets my votes. He’s come such a long way.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 20-Dec-25 20:33:01

George for me too.
