She was really good.

You might just get your wish.

It will probably cost me a small fortune in phone votes but if it keeps her away from soccer punditry then it will be worth every penny

There's no phone voting this year.

You have to sign-up to the BBC website to cast your vote.

Or simply login if you already have an account on the BBC website.

Poor Sam, Pete, and Jamie last year.

…yeah, she was excellent, Mock…I didn’t get to see all of the dances but of the ones I did see…?…she definitely stood apart as being the best…I did though like Alex and Stefan also for the expression and personality they put into their dances…

[Nicky91]

the final 4 will be

Lewis & Katya
Amber & Nikita
George & Alexis
Jimmy & Lauren



Jimmy even should've been top of the leaderboard tbh, zero gapping in that quickstep hold, phenomenal for a novice

[Zizu]

They stuck the diminutive little troll right at the back … perfectly understandable …

i doubt Karen will be any good in the ballrooms


she just is good at Jive because she is so tiny and skinny, more tiny skinny women who done well at jive, nothing groundbreaking from Karen last night


and Carlos's teaching skills can be quite mediocre, we saw with Angela Scanlon next year he'll be back on the bench anyway once Gorka is back

[Nicky91]

Youtube video

the start of the winner's journey i reckon


pure DWTS alike quality this routine

…your intense dislike, which often displays as hatred of any women who achieve anything that you disapprove of and that doesn’t fit with your own devised limitations of ‘women’s roles and places’ is becoming very disturbing…as a woman, I’m finding it more and more uncomfortable in its obsession…

[Nicky91]

what has Karen Carney achieved then, when she was gone from the england team, only then the england team became successful

Well my ‘intense dislike’ only stretches to about 5 women out of a possible 4.01 billion so let’s not get our knickerz in a twist ..

…as I say, I find your displayed intense dislike/hatred of women who don’t fit with your own mindset/ideal of them and where they should place themselves within limitations you would prefer, more and more disturbing…as a woman, that’s my prerogative to feel that…so let’s not get our misogyny in a twist…

Karen was brilliant, but I just don't like Carlos.
I do like George, but my heart belongs to Lewis.
I like the way he moves a lot. He's like a young Nigel Harman with the showmanship.
And yes Lewis, Amber and Karen are all dance trained. But none of them have done ballroom or Latin before.

She's too of the leader board. Going nowhere.
My Lewis is second. So proud

[Livia]

My favourites were, in no particular order: Karen Carney, Jimmy FH and La Voix, who is just hilarious as well as being a decent dancer.

[Ammi]

…I meant to say that I also liked Vicky Pattison of the dances that I saw../..I didn’t see them all dance…

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Karen also has danced before, but no mention of that. She's being pushed as a beginner. Which she's not.
It always annoys me when someone who can dance is being shown as a complete beginner.

What training has she had previously, Ness? Can't find anything on it.

When she was younger.

I went to a dancing school when I was a kid, I imagine a lot of girls my age did when they were children.. wouldn't call myself a dancer. It's not like she's danced in the West End.

I think she quit the dancing for football.
So not recent, but she has the basics.
But yes Lewis and Amber have more dancing experience.

[Shaun]

I wouldn't really put her in the same bracket as Lewis since he ostensibly is more trained than her, and is still loosely in that field of work (I assume he does stage shows in addition to the soap stuff).

Agreed

[Ammi]

…I don’t think that Karen has danced professionally in adulthood…I think she did some training in childhood is all, before she diverted to football…I trained in Irish Dancing in childhood but that wouldn’t advantage me in any way as a dancer…but obviously she understands music and movement …as many of them do, I would say…

…she was seriously excellent, tbh ….

Karen put a bit of that extra Bluenose magic into the Jive that we rarely ever see on Strictly.

And I do agree with you that Alex did a decent effort at the Vienesse Waltz.
