I agree that Alex's rumba was great, but I don't think Shirley should have been claiming it was the best one ever. There have been some superb rumbas on Strictly over the years, including Kara Tointon, Kelvin Fletcher, Cherie Lunghi, and AJ.

Yes, I think Rachel from S Club also did a very good rumba years ago. In any case, there was no need for Shirley to get out of her seat, like someone very important bestowing a great gift on a lesser being. It came across as patronising to me, and must have made poor Alex uncomfortable.

What's with the jive boycott? We've only had three this series, and none at all in the last two shows. I must admit I find samba, salsa and cha cha very samey, so it's been quite tedious having so many of those at the expense of things like jive and American Smooth.

I noticed that.

With all the extra dances (CC, AT, Charleston and Salsa) it means that you can drop a few regular dances even if you make it to the Final.

I know Rumba is divisive, I honestly think if you see it danced properly (not the cabaret style on SCD) you will love it. I refer you to the Shirley teaching demo video over on the video thread as a starter.

im sure Harry’s wife was delighted with the constant chemistry comments between him and Karen.

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 19/10/2025 11:26

the Shrieking when they get through to next week and then sit with Claudia all over hyped is also irritating !

I’m sure that’s why Karen was quick to respond with a 🤢 face in the Clauditorium. They will want to be very clear that they don’t see each other like that.

Tbf to them they did say it all felt awkward and.they are supposed to have some.sort of chemistry but I don't think Harry's wife has anything to worry about.

They're definitely being patronising towards Ellie.
It's a shame. I liked her dance last night and I thought it played to her skills.

Did you think the same about Chris last year, because had he been fully sighted his achievements wouldn't have been considered as impressive.

I don't think they were a lot easier/gentler with him if you watch the comments back but he was doing something a lot more trusting with being blind and learning to dance! I think they were amazed by him and the partnership he and Dianne had.

Exactly what I was wondering.

Evening all.

It’s why I thought I must have missed another thread somehow.

Hellooooooo

I’m here!

FuzzyPuffling · 19/10/2025 19:21

I'm going for Stefan and LaVoix in the DO, with LV to go.

ilovesooty · 19/10/2025 19:21

Can't call this.

RainbowSnake · 19/10/2025 19:22

My guess is Stefan and Chris in the dance off with La Voix avoiding it due to sympathy votes.

C8H10N4O2 · 19/10/2025 19:22

Hoping neither Balvinder nor Karen are in the bottom. I suspect otherwise Stefan or Chris (rugby) will be there. Chris (La Voix) has a big following who could keep him safe.

FuzzyPuffling · 19/10/2025 19:22

Not Stefan then!
