I freaking loved that.

oh dear, so much gushing from the judges and on this thread too....

He is always better than Nikita

MouseMinge · 09/12/2023 20:36

I think that they were the closest to being in full sync in that than any previous dance. It was very, very good but it is not the best charleston in twenty years by a long shot. It'll get 40 and it probably just about deserves that because ringer.

Riverlee · 09/12/2023 20:36

Found myself watching Nikita through that and really enjoyed watching him. There was alot of content in that which was impressive considering g they had to learn two dances (although not much content in the first dance)

FuzzyPuffling · 09/12/2023 20:36

I wanted some water to shoot out of their comedy buttonhole flowers.

Dogcatmousedog · 09/12/2023 20:36

Layton and Annabelle is my prediction for the dance off !

Yep

PastorCarrBonarra · 09/12/2023 20:37

Annabel’s VW needs to be extraordinary. Otherwise there will be little doubt about the outcome which will be boring.

He really isn't. He can't touch him
for ballroom and Latin technique (which is what he should be learning!).

I did love that though.

Hmm, no. Not really. It was great but not amazing. I don’t see what they’re seeing.

Nikita clearly likes him so that’s nice.

the80sweregreat · 09/12/2023 20:37

Layton has the X factor for sure.
I want Bobby to win, but fair play
He is brilliant

Storynanny1 · 09/12/2023 20:38

I don’t think it was the best ever. I loved Giovanni and Faye’s charleston

Who's is the best Charleston in your opinion?

I thought that was amazing and want to watch it again already.

John Sargeant move at the end there.

Said the same to my dp, but got confused and said John Major!

MouseMinge · 09/12/2023 20:38

I'd have hooted with laughter if after all that Craig gave it a 9.

MeinKraft · 09/12/2023 20:38

Nikita is so right there, this partnership has done wonders for his personal profile

Flora73 · 09/12/2023 20:38

I don’t get it. It’s probably been done to death but I feel it’s about the journey and the progression, and he can dance!

derxa · 09/12/2023 20:38

The other dancers aren't that keen on Layton

AntonDuPig · 09/12/2023 20:38

Um, my favourite Charleston was Kai & AJ. This was not a patch on that one.
IIRC, that didn’t score 40, but what do I know 🤷🏻‍♀️

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 09/12/2023 20:38

Dance Royalty indeed, on a show for amateurs, he is brilliant but should have his own show not competing here

AnneShirleysNewDress · 09/12/2023 20:38

@Umanresources Now that I'd like to see 😂

Are we not allowed to say Layton is a good dancer? Because whether you like him or not you can't deny he can dance.

awaynboilyurheid · 09/12/2023 20:39

This competition would be so much more boring without Leyton, I’ve loved watching him and done a turn around from just saying he was a ringer Loved that Charleston , hope he’s in the final.

xsquared · 09/12/2023 20:39

They weren't in synch the whole time, but that was very entertaining.

Judges are being ridiculously gushy, it's so nauseating.
