It was clear to me last week she was trying not to cry rather than trying not to hit out.

You could be right. But she was giving me Jan Ravens vibes.

That was a set up so Craig could choose!

Oh completely setup and fake. So obvious that they wanted the drama of Craig deciding after “waiting 20 years” they weren’t all going to agree and make it a non vote for him.
So obvious.

Yeah I only vote for the people I like. If I had to vote for the best dancer then that would obviously be Amber but I find her frankly boring to watch, like I do every year with the ringer.

Yeah I voted for Rugby Chris as I really saw improvement from week one and wanted to see him keep going - I thought both LaV and Stefan were worse and more deserving of the DO than Rugby Chris.

Im gutted at the DO results. LaV did not deserve to go through after that hideous, hideous dance. I reckon some of Aljaz’s popularity saved them as no one could have voted for that on merit, surely.

Balvinder will get all my votes next week even if the dance is worse than LeVoix !!

If she’s in the DO for a third time, will the judges/production team vote her off because it’s showing she’s obviously not popular with the public?

I do think the “dances in the dark” with black costumes and awful lighting don’t help anyone. I couldn’t see half of hers or Amber/Nikita’s one.

JoeMarlerseyes · 19/10/2025 20:32

Shame Chris went as I liked him.
George is sweet. Just not the real George Clark.
the very idea of Cheryl Cole being an icon is hilarious 😆

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 19/10/2025 20:02

That dance off should have been Stefan and Chris imho.

Stefan and La Voix surely. LaV had an absolute shocker.

theDudesmummy · 19/10/2025 20:33

Ah those amazing musician icons, Cher, Celine Dion, Dolly Parton, and......Cheryl Cole???!

Coffeeishot · 19/10/2025 20:35

Do we think.Vikki insisted on Cheryl and they were to scared to say no 😂

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 19/10/2025 20:50

What song was it? So I know what to avoid.

chaosmaker · 19/10/2025 19:58

Does she have form for this? If so she shouldn't be a judge.

Yes.
Molly Rainsford.
Fleur
Prob some others...

I was thinking of leprechauns. And now sounds like ‘em too!

DH has his back to the kitchen TV and asked why they had the Smurfs sings on Strictly.

Peaknique · 19/10/2025 20:52

'Beautiful People' by Chris Brown. Or any song by Chris Brown. I can't believe they used it.

Icons week is just a "Stars in their Eyes" theme week isn't it?

ladygindiva · 19/10/2025 21:37

Buxusmortus · 18/10/2025 21:53

No, because he could actually dance but Ellie is not a good dancer.

Chris wasn't the best dancer in the series though. Barely top 5 imo.

I have a production question which I’m sure someone here will know the answer to. Assume all the pro dances and guest singer appearances are pre recorded? But they have an audience. Who is it made up from? It’s not a balloted show or anything is it?

I think the pop star sequence is filmed the Saturday night. As it’s only a couple of dancers and they can use pro dancers who have been kicked off and Neil & Nancy. but the big pro group dance is pre recorded for the most part.

they film the pro dancers and the singers usually during the gap between the live show and recording the result show so they have the audience who are there already (who are valid). It’s one of the reasons – much as everyone loves to moan about it – that the results show goes out on Sunday so they can do retakes in the gap as the results but then doesn’t have to start at a specific time.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 19/10/2025 21:44

Yes, there’s an opportunity to apply for tickets to watch the pro dances being recorded when you register for the regular show tickets, and the Christmas show. I missed the deadline to apply this year somehow 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pl242 · 19/10/2025 21:57

But didn’t Gorka dance in this week’s pop star song, Leanne from little mix? And isn’t he in Spain now?

Holluschickie · 19/10/2025 22:19

Fully expect to see Balvinder in the bottom two next week against Stefan or La Voix..They won't save her a third time so the parade of mediocre dad dancers will continue.

I had exactly the same thought last night but didn't want to say I'm case I made myself sound about 900 years old! Also was struggling to see most of the the pro Tango boardroom dance tonight for the same reason.

Well, they’ve got rid of Dad dancers Tom, Ross and RugbyChris so far so we can’t really complain about who has gone out. Isn’t part of the joy of Strictly watching a Dad dancer get a bit better?
