Off To The Moves: Strictly 2025: Week Three Live Show, Sat 11 October 18:05

[Ellmau]

As @EineReiseDurchDieZeit is unable to start this week's thread I volunteered to do it, so here we are.

I hope this is OK!

Please do not post videos on this thread to avoid making it slow to load - videos go on the dedicated thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/telly_addicts/5400581-strictly-2025-video-thread-come-share-your-favourites?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=app_share

I'll vote for my favourite. So Lewis gets all my votes.

Vicky x 2 for being undermarked, Karen, Alex and Balvinder here

No idea why they have changed it but I actually think it's a good idea. Shirley is quite biased and I think this has helped her favourites when the casting vote has been needed.

Agree with @Minimammoth that this was the best movie week in ages.

Harry (2 - both the kids wanted to vote for him despite him being safe)
Vicky (2)
Karen (1)

I wanted to vote for Balvinder too but felt so bad for Vicky and agree that she has the potential to win this if she can just find her confidence. She’s in a really vulnerable position though.

Agree. And death slot after being in the dance off last week. Unfair. I’ve given him all my votes!

Shirley has always been very biased, she always overmarks the fit young blokes and will always consistenly undermark women of a certain age, she will have it in for 1 or 2 every single series. It's never the blokes or young women I've noticed.

Harry, La Voix, Karen, Alex and Balvinder

I voted harry x2, amber, Lewis and belvinder!

Goddess! Love her!

Def not a 9! Does anyone else think the lyrics of Soda Pop are a bit …. filthy? Fill me up … dripping … I need a second round … the double entendres in every line!!! and kids singing along … well I guess I did the same to “like a virgin” and didn’t have a clue

What is a ringer?

At this stage I give all my votes to the person who seems decent but is most likely to leave if they end up in the dance-off, so 5 x Chris. He's doomed, though.

I still can’t believe Craig gave Karen a 4. Barmiest score I’ve ever seen

In this instance: a person entered into a competition under false pretences.

ie not a novice and someone who has more experience than others in the same competition.

God please grant me one ballroom dance with Aljaz - he’s amazing. I was watching him rather than LaV.

I'm not voting for either Amber or Lewis because they're ringers.
LaVoix, Karen, Balvinder, Alex and Jimmy.

Watching on catch up, what on earth has Shirley done to her face?! She's stuffed to the gills with Botox and filler and presumably had a facelift before the series started. Her skin looks like a plastic mask and there's a huge contrast between her face and her normally aged neck.

Cynthia's talons are just creepy, I assume they are just on for the show otherwise how does she cook, clean or do anything?

I'm up to la voix, I loathe drag and refuse to refer to him as her, but I'm glad he rehearses without the dressing up and actually enjoyed his dance.

Loved Amber's dance, yes she's a ringer but it's still good to see someone dancing really well.

Kpop couples choice, I didn't think the dance stood out and I thought it was over marked.

I voted 5x for George.
He's the main reason I'm watching.

I also found it quite hilarious. And the costumes are rather brilliant. He is obviously not much cop, but it was stompy terrible fun!

That makes sense

Voted 2 for Vicky
1 for Harry and 2 for Chris.
really like balvinder and Lewis and Alex’s dances as well

I just love harry and Karen! I’m so glad she has a decent partner after years of early exits. They suit each other so well, you can’t help but smile watching them!
I am routing for them to the end!!

That’s what I was thinking. She looked so deflated after Shirley’s comments. Not often Craig gives a higher score than Shirley and Anton!

Agree, it was powerful and fun but she needs a little more elegance. And not talk herself down in front of the judges.

Jimmy has decent hips for sure. He does have some lovely movement. A rumba in week 3 is asking a lot for a male celeb. Lauren was stunning. He did a pretty good job and looks great in that get up.
