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.

I was wondering what the "safe zone" was now the numbers are going down.

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.

I don't class her as a ringer, but neither would I say she has 'no dance background'. I understand that she was competing in street dance type events until the training hours clashed too much with footie.

theDudesmummy · 25/10/2025 20:34

Ellie for me (only one as my DS takes the other four). I am voting on entertainment value. Not on either dance technique or sob stories.

I would have Harry and Balvinder in the dance off.

PrincessScarlett · 25/10/2025 20:39

George definitely had the killer combination of wrong song choice and terrible outfit. Harry Styles is not a jive.

I have given all my votes to Balvinder. Agree that anyone could be in the dance off !

JamMakingWannaBe · 25/10/2025 20:43

Going against the grain but I loved Harry tonight. Not a traditional AT - which I do love - but I loved the styling and the groove.
Ellie was also fabulous.
Jimmy I do like too.

I thought Tess seemed very relaxed tonight. Maybe it was a more relaxed running time because of Stefan's absence or maybe she was just glad the decision has been made and everyone knows she's leaving.

OccasionalHope · 25/10/2025 20:47

I think most likely Bal against George, but Karen and Ellie could well be there. But only Lewis I think is truly safe this week.

Asunciondeflata · 25/10/2025 20:50

I voted 2 x Karen, 2 x LaVoix, 1 for Alex.
Quite a disappointing night. The judges seemed very divided.

SaratogaFilly · 25/10/2025 20:51

I voted 2x Vicky, 2x Harry & 1x Karen

Yes, I agree.

TheMadGardener · 25/10/2025 20:57

Thought it wasn't a great show tonight. No really "wow" moments. Voted 3x for Karen C and 2x for Jimmy. Lauren's purple dress was awful.

chaosmaker · 25/10/2025 21:10

Yes to Tess being much more chilled out. I think she was more like this with Bruce.

All people from Newcastle know each other.

😆 yep, that’s what I was challenging…just like in all large cities eh? 😆

SauvignonBlanche · 25/10/2025 21:26

I missed the vote! 🤦‍♀️

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 25/10/2025 21:31

Just caught up with thread. Apart from Vicky’s cc and Amber’s cha cha, I really enjoyed the dances this week, warts and all. Harry’s AT was weird - but I liked it 🤷‍♀️

I also thought Tess seemed super at ease with herself and everybody else tonight. Demob happy already maybe.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 25/10/2025 21:34

Karen x2
Bal x1
Elliex1
Alex x1

Could be anyone in bottom 2, but should be LV and Vicky imo.

Mokel · 25/10/2025 21:48

It could be anyone in the B2. George was last. Then Bal, Ellie, Kaz and LV all joint 2nd last.

i believe that some voters put votes on their favourite singer, if were represented by the celebrities

LondonLady1980 · 25/10/2025 22:05

When I watched Lewis I thought “That was a bit dull….” but after watching all the rest of them I’ve come to the conclusion that he was the best of all of them.

I didn’t like seeing Karen get upset after her Rumba ☹️

I really, really cant take to Vicky and I though the dance was dire too.

Alex is just lovely in every way ❤️ As is Johannes.

I was disappointed for George, and he looked so disappointed in himself too. I really like him so I hope he doesn’t end up in the bottom two.

I don’t dislike Bal, and I don’t think she deserved to be in the bottom two the last two weeks, but nor does she have any big impact on me.

I haven’t been able to take to Harry so I wouldn’t be too fussed if be went, but I would be gutted about losing Karen from the competition as I really like her.

I love Purple Rain and I love Lauren but Jimmy didn’t blow me away thos week. I don’t think the wig did him any favours.

Ellie is just Ellie - fun, enthusiastic, fearless and happy! I wish they’d give her the opportunity to do something a little slower though so we could perhaps see a different side to her. I appreciate that the height inference between her and Vito might make that a little challenging though.

I usually like Le Voix….but I’m a bit bored of it now. Tonight the act just looked like a man jumping around in a dress and it looked a little silly to be honest. I like the guy who plays the role, he seems really genuine in the rehearsals, but the Drag Act has got a bit cliche and predictable now so I won’t be bothered if he goes. I would be sad to say goodbye to Alijaz though.

I think that covers everyone 🤷‍♀️

Coffeeishot · 25/10/2025 22:10

I thought tonight's was a bit meh ! I liked Karen Alex, Lewis and Balvinder. Thought every body elses was either to try hard or just dull,

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 25/10/2025 22:37

Am thoroughly sick of themed weeks.
Hmm

Holluschickie · 25/10/2025 22:51

Me too. Everybody was meh. And very little actual dance.

Grrrpredictivetex · 25/10/2025 23:16

Is there a spoiler thread for this week?

OccasionalHope · 25/10/2025 23:21

There’s one overarching spo8ler thread. Eine linked to it on the first page of this thread.

Empress13 · 25/10/2025 23:29
