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

Didn’t like that at all.

Oh no. Did not like.

That felt really flat for me. I don’t know if Alexis was dancing down to him but she didn’t seem as energetic as you’d expect a pro to normally be.

Definitely some mistakes too.

Who's in the square window?
It's George!

I found that a bit dull. DM who I’m watching with this week thought the timing* was immaculate though.

I didn't enjoy that as much as I thought I would and I love a good jive. He seemed abit out of control and not finishing moves

Thank you!!! Couldn't place the face but I knewI should know her. Great!

The polish and energy did slip in places.

I am enjoying George though

But if Ellie was marked to the same standard as the other couples she would be at the bottom of hte leader board every week, which would destroy her and demolish any positive effect of her representation for other DS kids. There would be no point her being on Strictly.

His outfit made it hard to concentrate on what he was doing. He definitely messed up before the end. I hope he goes through though, I might chuck him a couple of votes.

That was a bit disappointing. I usually like George.

George might be getting the votes I was giving Chris

I’m not overwhelmed this week not sure if its the “icons” getting in the way of the dancing.

George’s jive was a bit flat, despite it being a great pairing.

Karen and Carlos just didn’t tick the sensuality box for a rumba.

Ellie is infectious but it wasn’t really a salsa.

I liked Alex but I’d probably like her scrubbing floors.

Lewis’s quickstep was the best but he is one of the ringers and I could have done without the silly bit at the beginning.

I think that just showed that George is a genuine beginner.

Contempowaft klaxon!

Oooo yes love a bit of Self-Esteem! 😍

With reminder 599 that Vicky comes from Newcastle. Is she contracted by the local tourist board?

Sponsored by LNER...

That was crappy music to jive to

This is such a tune from Biffa

Could have so done without that preamble 🤮

What’s with the toy soldier outfits?

when I first heard that was their song, I assumed it would be a quick step

Dr Weaver looks great :) had to rewind to watch her and Vicky is still waffling on.

...being trashed by the singer...
