As always, a reminder that this is a SPOILER-FREE THREAD, so please don't comment on the result before the result show.

I think they could have gone for some more slightly obscure BBC music choices than the main ones they've gone for and maybe it would have worked better. Really not enjoyed it so far tonight..

Same. She's totally grown on me

Smile at that one.

That was great

Ellie has improved but again slightly let down by the music

The opening was hilarious. I loved it. The dance was just okay but the music kept it a bit slow and lacking in the oomph you need for tango.

Oof. Not great. Was just saying to DH, she's like the anti-Hamza. He's short and chunky and shouldn't be good - but is. She tall and slender with a dancer's frame, so should be good - but isn't.

Camptastic start. Tango itself decent, albeit heavily coached. Good end pose.

The thing about hamza is I watch him rather than his partner if you see what I mean. As opposed to Johannes. I always watch him

I thought I saw a tiny stumble, but I liked that tango more than I thought I would

Love Ellie but didn't think that was her best dance. Again with the dancing not fitting the music.
Think Jayde opened week 1?

I thought that was good, she looked v pretty tonight too even in that dress!

I don't think I've seen a tango before where the audience all laugh at the beginning!

She was pretty good, and lots of recognisable tango steps.

Ellie made some nice shapes. Dress awful.

I think Ellie looks great. Loved the opening.

Not as good as The Blue Monday Tango last year!!

Generic, lobotomised version🤣. Dress was too long.

They could have chucked a few sequins on her dress .

Dress is very Handmaids take

Motsi has definitely grown on me.
Nice woman
Dare I say it, but Tess has been great lately

What lonely outfits.

Charles Venn and Karen
Faye Tozer and Giovanni
Both did good Couples' Choices.

Could they not strictlyfy the scrubs - the odd sequin ?

Yeah, wardrobe don’t like Ellie T

Music choices from the BBC I'd have loved to have heard are the theme tunes from programmes like the Onedin Line, the Life and Times of Lloyd George and Brideshead Revisited.
