Strictly 2025 : Week Five. Can anything be as Iconic as the Tess/Claude duo? NO SPOILERS. 18.25PM

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Getting it ready early as I am out this afternoon.

KEEP DANCING

That's what we all said last week, but it didn't happen.

All my votes to George, don’t want him to go and at the bottom of the board!

1 to Alex and Harry and the rest to Balvinder for me.

Absolutely gutted that George & Alexis are bottom of the leaderboard. I didn't love their dance as much as their past dances, (but will always love him), but I didn't think it was the worst dance of the night :(

4 for Bal and 1 for George because he’s in trouble too.

My 5 votes
Bal and Kaz 2 each. Alex 1

2 Balvinder, Alex, Harry and La Voix.

I voted for George.

Oh no! I didn’t realise that! Poor George… I suppose it depends who else is there.

4 x George, 1 x Harry

Voted for 2x George 2x Karen 1x Jimmy really don’t know how to vote for. Toughest week in that respect

Ah no George all the way I hope.

She was on the school team for dance wasn’t she? She wasn’t competing as a solo dancer or couple running up the grade ladder.

Lots of girls dance on school teams just as they do for netball or other sports and are very good in that context but I wouldn’t compare that to adult training and performing.

George was certainly not worse than LaVoix. The scoring tonight has been weird.

Shocked that George is bottom. I don't think he was the worst tonight. Poor Balvinder is in the danger zone again.

Lewis was best tonight. I like Vicky but thought she was massively over marked as couples choices always are. It was very stompy and marching. Not my cup of tea at all.

Where's my weakest link gone? The wheel is rubbish. Maybe Balvinder is so low cos of all the George votes. She was definitely better than him.

Georges dance didn’t hit because the song choice just did not compliment the jive!

With balvinder, I don’t not like her, but I also don’t love her. I didnt know many of the celebs before the show, but I feel like I still know nothing about her and I feel like that’s why she keeps ending up in the bottom two.

im predicting balvinder and maybe a shock like amber or harry.

harry gets my votes!

DD10 loves The Wheel 🤣

Leaderboard…

I voted Lewis x 1 because it was the only dance I really enjoyed, x2 for Balvinder and x2 for Karen.

Hard choosing my votes tonight, not helped by my least appealing dancers being at the top, and there not being a massive range between everyone else and a clear ranking of who'd survive a dance-off against who.

Most dances had a fairly apparent flaw at some point tonight.

Snap!

Balvinder really should have found a sob story or hired some cute kids or gone off about the racism/ bullying/ something she had to face on her " journey".

La Voix reminded me of Kenny Everett doing his famous leg crossing ( couldn't find a gif ) ,during that dance!

There are so many ties that we'll get a clear idea of where the votes are going. Unless there's a massive bounce for Balvinder I fear she'll be in the dance off again, and I wouldn't be astonished if it were against Amber.

I think only the top two - Lewis and Vicky - are safe.
