Judi awful

[Pja1969]

Hope she in dance off

[Pja1969]

Judi terrible

[Parmy]

Tom should be good now to take away the pain of that last effort by Judy.

[Parmy]

Or maybe not.

[joeysteele]

Well it was much better than Judi's.
At least he DANCED.

She really is to be admired ~ performs so well every week

All my votes went to Rose and Giovanni. Absolutely phenomenal!

She's improving every week. Her Latin is also getting better. So proud of her!

[joeysteele]

Rose really was the best in all ways tonight.

[Liam-]

AJ and Kai are my clear favourites this year, I love everything about them, but I think it could very well be Giovanni’s year

1. John & Johannes (+4)
2. AJ & Kai (+1)
3. Tom & Amy (+3) - I've been very middling on Tom's dances previously, but I really enjoyed the energy of his dance tonight.
4. Rose & Giovanni (+6) - Rose is clearly very good at slow dancing, plus she picked Alicia Keys 2nd best song after Empire state Of Mind (which I know is technically Jay-Z) but Alicia Keys parts of the song are my personal favourite. But yeah a strong dance from Rose this week imo.
5. Rhys & Nancy (+6)
6. Tilly & Nikita (-4)
7. Dan & Nadiya (-6)
8. Adam & Katya (-4)
9. Sara & Aljaz (-2)
10. Ugo & Oti (New)

My rankings.

1. Dan & Nadiya (+6) - That dance cracked me up, it was really fun I thought.
2. AJ & Kai (Non-Mover)
3. Rhys & Nancy (+2) - A bit stiff in parts, but overall I thought that he did a strong dance. Technically I feel like he is one of the stronger dancers in the lineup.
4. Rose & Giovanni (Non-Mover) - I'm probably gonna get lynched for saying this, but Rose's dance was not a 40 tonight imo, I thought that it was a decent dance, but to me it was too basic to be a 40. Good staging though.
5. John & Johannes (-4)
6. Adam & Katya (+2) - I don't expect the best dances from Adam, but it was definitely an improvement on last week imo. And good Music.
7. Tom & Amy (-4) - Considering the song choice, I found it to be lacking the energy of the song.
8. Judi & Graziano (NEW) - Wow!
9. Sara & Aljaz (Non-Mover) - No offence to Sara but she is very stiff in this dance.
10. Tilly & Nikita (-4) - Again a 35 for this dance? Personally I didn't even think that it was even at a good level, let alone a 35.

Overall I thought that the night was good, the judges scoring however leaves a lot to be desired.

[Nicky91]

John & Johannes: found it all a bit underwhelming dance technically speaking, however they played the part of werewolves really well so 8

AJ & Kai: i have been her most harsh critic i think, but this was the first time she wowed me since week 1, and no i personally am not that keen on any Bodyguard theme, i thought she played the part of Medusa in the most divine perfect way possible, dance content wise that was good not to lose your balance with all those many turns 10

Dan & Nadiya: very entertaining, but dance content wise this was awful, even AJ was faster paced and that was a VW compared to a Jive 5

Rhys & Nancy: i had expected worse, but Nancy tought him the right basics of Paso, and of course no spanish lines since it is not a traditional paso 8

Sara & Aljaz: lemme be controversial, i thought the 4 wasn't deserving at all, i liked the concept of the routine, i thought she executed the part of dragon queen very well too, i prefer these sort of couples choice's to those streetdance ones 8

Rose & Giovanni: the only bad thing about this was seeing Danny Dyer in the VT which made me want to throw up, but ICE ICE BABY this was freezingly tangotastic 10

Tilly & Nikita: first of all respect on delivering a good routine after a perfect score dance, secondly this was good fun, enjoyable to watch, cheeky and lots of hip action what the cha cha element needs, but also very quirky what the halloween element required 8

Adam & Katya: undermarked, i thought this was a neat and innovative routine, can we have more classical routines pls, i LOVED it 10

Judi & Graziano: aimed to the public at home this was brilliant, with the augmented reality zombies doing workouts that was so funny, respect for still having good energy to pull this one off after recovering from covid, to quote Anton: not your best, but not your worst 7

Tom & Amy: why is Amy's choreography skill for the rock genre pure quality second time i enjoyed a rock choreo from her a lot after her paso with Brian, also second time i enjoyed a devils dance since Mollie & AJ's CCC this was fun 8



my scores and review



BEST HALLOWEEN SHOW IN YEARS!!!!!! felt like similar vibe to a christmas special for me personally, everyone was good in their own ways

[Nicky91]

omg gregory porter in tonights result show am a huge fan of him

[joeysteele]

Hmm, this was harder, as I felt the outfits at times distracted and impeded the dances.
So.

1. Rose and Giovanni
2. A J and Kai.
3.Rhys and Nancy.
4. John and Johannes.
5.Adam and Katya.
6.Dan and Nadiya.
7.Tilly and Nikita.
8.Sara and Alijaz.
9.Tom and Amy.
10.Judi and Graziano.( Sorry, I know she's just come back from covid but overall she did nothing.
Surely she must go this week.).

Very close a lot of them again this week however for me.

[Nicky91]

sorry if i overmark Adam, but i find it just easily amazing from someone who doesn't come from any musical, dance or performing background at all


clever choreo from Katya again almost reminded me of stranger things with the upside down, don't know if it was meant to look like that (they didn't say all details about the story in that routine, on ITT)




Nikita is a great pro dancer, i was so wrong about him after all, it seems Sabrina was the hopeless one in his previous pairing



comparing Nikita to previous hunky young male pro AJ, well i am still fond of AJ and i like his posts on insta, apparently he is open to return as a guest judge on the show, wouldn't mind that, don't think he'd do worse than a Donny Osmond or Alfonso Ribeiro




i liked the judges looks a lot too, Anton as the riddler is just wow, and he looks amazing in red hair Motsi as Maleficent stunning


Shirley talking to a skull ''my friend the skull also enjoyed it''



Craig who was he meant to be? looked like one of johnny depps characters somehow

I think you're correct on Craig's costume.

I've even watched Alice In Wonderland a few months ago too.

Thanks for the information AnnieK.

Couldn't believe Adam and Katya were bottom 2

people thought they were safe + Rhys having gotten the bounce back vote


middle of board always a dangerous position to be at if people do not vote thinking they are safe

He didn't deserve to be bottom two. Sara should have been there. I like her, but that dance was awful.

On one of his better dances no less.
