it's weird, I have plenty of dancers I like but the whole thing just feels a bit boring this year...

[Merry Mockmas]

Alex had a very clever routine this week.

I hope that Karen and Jimmy are safe.

my thoughts week 4

Karen & Carlos: her personal best dance i think, i mean i always doubted her for having a weak core frame, but all in all her quickstep looked good 8

Harry & Karen: SEXY SEXY SEXY! nothing less than Colin's rumba for sure 9

Vicky & Kai: am amazed how great the geordie queen really is, continues to surprise me week by week 9

Stefan & Dianne: i agree with Anton, for me the charlestons also don't always need to be too over the top, i actually also prefer slapstick comedy ones, it very much still looked like a charleston anyway, and that personality, WOW 8

Lewis & Katya: not bad but i get what Anton was saying, i see Lewis has a habit of trying to do too much in a routine, same problem Aston had in his series kinda, but yes finalist potential is very much there 8

Jimmy & Lauren: it wasn't out of sync Shirley not even once? and Soca dancing is different to something like hip hop, Soca is more grounded, with emotions, also the location names on that pole, Alkmaar, Zaandam, Stamford Bridge, everything what he has a connection with, loved the routine 9

George & Alexis: am gobsmacked the judges didn't mention this, but i didn't a heel lead at all here, and in tango you dance with heel leads all the time, his core frame was mediocre at best, also a lack of chemistry honestly 4

La Voix & Aljaz: good on Shirley, ZERO Cha Cha content, and the blame here is on Aljaz, a boxing theme with a cha cha cha is almost as disastrous as the michael jackson choreo for viennese waltz by Janette for Aston LOL 1

Balvinder & Julian: told you so Bal would come back with a bang from the dance off last week, this was FIRE 9

Alex & Johannes: so much hard work going into this week by week by these two, and it looks so effortless, i am in awe by these two loveys 10

Chris & Nadiya: it looked better than what i was expecting it to be, very nice footwork placements, so to say there isn't salsa content in this is a lie, okay could've been more fluid from one movement to another, but it was decent 6

Amber & Nikita: a argentine tango is a responsive dance yes, and there was no such thing of that seen in their effort, as a regular tango it also wasn't that good, nah, best forgotten this one 3

Ellie & Vito: showstopper very iconic, fabulous, so ellie, yass 10

..tbh, this is the first season that I’ve properly watched it for many years…/…I don’t know if I’ll keep up with it…I think that my big thing with it atm is that it spreads over such a huge part of a Saturday evening, which for me is quite often movie time……but I’ll see how it goes, the judges comments seem to be just repeat and repeat so I wish that I could skip over those to make it shorter…

[Nicky91]

maybe Aljaz needs to be benched next year, if he's gonna start making questionable choreography choices

[Nicky91]

post week 4

i can see Jimmy as a possible finalist, i can see Alex as a possible finalist



Lewis and Amber (with their dance experience) are the obvious frontrunners but honestly could easily see them facing each other in a dance off in the later stage of the competition after Blackpool i think, and if Lewis is knocked out in a dance off, we can really call it the Curse of Aston



Ellie idk how long she'll last, but anyway she had her couples choice now, maybe a nice blackpool exit

[joeysteele]

For me, Amber and Lewis were again the best last night.

I agreed with Craig on George that if they did that dance again it would be perfect.
I enjoyed their dance.

I personally didn't get the gushing for Alex, it was extremely good no doubt but not out of this world like the judges indicated.

[Nicky91]

for the 2026 series

i think Dani Dyer is a shoe-in to get Jamie Laing'd



and for the christmas special this year, i wouldn't be surprised if they try to approach Kristian Nairn/Hodor for that, considering that is just a one off show


and i can see them trying to book another game of thrones alumni for the regular series next year, i can totally see Jerome Flynn on the show somehow (Bronn of Blackwater) since he also is famous as a musician, from the duo Robson & Jerome



and as dead as the australian version is at this moment, i can see strictly becoming more appealing to way more australian celebs, and someone like Manu Bennett is another one who has his audience appeal in the UK, fans of the hobbit, arrowverse might recognize him, we haven't had a star from the hobbit either on the show

I loved La Voix last night, I don't care what the judges said. She's in my top three, along with Karen Carney and George. I wish I could like Alex, I had no strong feelings about her either way about her before the show, but she's such a self-indulgent luvvie. It's a shame because I adore JoJo.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm so proud of Lewis. He's improving every week and has a great partnership with Katya.
I like them all except a few who I find annoying.
Amber may be the best dancer, but she leaves me cold.

I missed it. Only saw the over the top praise from the judges. How embarrassing when they do that.

La Voix was good entertainment last night, I gave her my votes last night lol. Her going on about Tess’s clothes always makes me laugh

She's hilarious "Tess, you've gone from bath mat to bed sheet."

She said she forgot the routine.
But it wasn't a very good one. Alijaz latin choreography is a bit bit and miss

[Christmas Dynasnow]

this true?

no?

it is couples choice, which has no rules basically, where the couple can go for any style of dance they want

[Nicky91]

i think it needs to be La Voix, but it'll depend if she has a fanbase or not?


and otherwise i worry it could be a Stefan vs Chris dance off
