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 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.

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

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

Karen is doing well.

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

They have moved the professional dancers around, in the background

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.

Carlos cries at the drop of a hat!

So do I 😂

Calendargirl Sat 13-Dec-25 19:49:19

Having said all that, think Karen will win the Glitterball.

Amber out dances everyone. Because of that, she should win.

But she won’t.

Think if it were up to Craig, she would, as he genuinely judges on that, never mind if they are amateur, professional, on a journey….

Maremia Sat 13-Dec-25 19:48:00

They all seem to be enjoying themselves.

Millie22 Sat 13-Dec-25 19:47:11

Stop crying Carlos.

Grandmabatty Sat 13-Dec-25 19:43:06

I think George might be in danger if he's in the dance off.

MollyNew Sat 13-Dec-25 19:41:55

Who is the little professional dancer standing behind Claudia? Is it Jowita?

Cynical old me, but sceptical about the waterworks from any of them.

Agree about the colour of Bal’s dress, gorgeous shade of raspberry.

Was messy getting up off the floor though.

Personally, not that thrilled with Karen’s waltz, didn’t think it was so wonderful.

Also far too many tears from Carlos, who I do like.

OTT to me.

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Dec-25 19:30:23

George performed the dance but I have always thought he's not as committed to the show as the other contestants.

Yes, I know what you mean MollyNew - he has always seemed to think it's one big joke, but he's clearly been working hard and made enough progress to reach the semi final.

Balvinder looks lovely. She has a natural elegance.

TillyTrotter Sat 13-Dec-25 19:28:10

I prefer Balvinder’s ballroom dances to Karen’s.
It must be so difficult to dance 2 dances in 1 week.

Millie22 Sat 13-Dec-25 19:27:45

Balvinder's dress is lovely.

MollyNew Sat 13-Dec-25 19:26:29

George performed the dance but I have always thought he's not as committed to the show as the other contestants. I wanted Lewis to win and I'm not bothered who wins now so I won't be voting tonight or next week.

I like Balvinder's waltz dress. Beautiful shade of red.

Allira Sat 13-Dec-25 19:24:35

Some of the dresses tonight are lovely!

NotAGran55 Sat 13-Dec-25 19:22:49

George to win!

TillyTrotter Sat 13-Dec-25 19:20:57

George knows he’s not the best dancer so he’s enjoying himself and is entertaining us .

Allira Sat 13-Dec-25 19:18:56

Ooh George blush

Calm down, dear!
😂
