Katya does better with making something out of nothing


basically Bushell's whole journey in a nutshell

QUEEN Amber

her latest podcast interview, with the legendary Brian Conley

[Nicky91]

also her dance experience, isn't a lot, her only advantage really is selling a routine


but every latin and ballroom technique she has shown to be great at, she learned on this show


the early weeks in this show, before hitting the dance off, she mainly focussed on technique


but after the dance off, she now is having a lot more fun as well, and her chemistry with Nikita is also more visible as such a excellent partnership


i also love how Lewis hugged her when she got her first 10s for the Salsa, and i think post strictly, Amber can put in a good word with some west end producers for Lewis if he wants to, i really see potential for a west end comeback for Lewis, the great performer/showman that he is, he should do something now with those even more improved dance skills



Amber would deserve to win for the down to earth such lovable graceful charismatic woman she is, but anyway i want her to survive this weeks Blackpool special, and then hopefully next week her couples choice, which would make people warm even more to her, basically such a humble background she comes from, her parents who work as plumbers, how hard Amber had to work to get where she is at West End

we all know Reach works great for a quickstep

and this was in a regular week at elstree


i really hope the quickstep to this song, on that more bouncy blackpool tower floor can provide that extra wow factor, and another happy dance luckily, because she has the most beautiful smile EVER footwork needs to be synchronized, but i'm sure Nikita knows that

also a charleston bit in this, will be excited to see the going out of hold and back in hold transitions

and Amber's advantage now with the non-elimination week


she still has many crowdpleasing dances left to do, like Jive, Charleston, Couples Choice, while having had quite some of the difficult technique wise dances behind her



pretty sure her couples choice might be at Musicals Week, maybe the Jive next week then


and then in case she goes as far the semi final, she still has the charleston as a possible secret weapon left, with maybe a foxtrot as second dance but that is me looking ahead



so yes this non-elimination week comes in quite handy (as i also felt quite nervous this week otherwise, not saying she isn't good at the more technically difficult dances but she can really shine in the crowdpleasing ones, for both judges and viewers and audience)

[Nicky91]

with Balvinder on Jive this week, i think they won't have the Jive then, but you never know, we had two same dances in one week before


maybe a Tango, and i wonder what their chosen instant dance enveloppe is, i kinda hope for the Samba, as she did great at that one, with lots of basic content
