I don't love Bal but I don't think she's deserved to be in the DO 3 times. It must be very disheartening.

Her dances lack joie de vive, that little extra sparkle, except her Charleston which was good

Kudos to Ellie too - she's made real improvements and thrown herself into every performance.

Poor Bal , she laughed when her name was said. I always thought east Enders actors got lots of votes

I also thought soap stars had a regular fan base coming with them to the show. It makes me wonder how much of the support is generated by the pro side of the partnership. I know some pros are incredibly popular, maybe Julian being a newbie isn’t helping.

I think he allowed Ellie to show us what she could do, in ways not every professional dance teacher would have managed. Some of the pros bring out the best in their partners, others don’t. Vito did a particularly sensitive job, imo.

I agree 👍

Umbilicat · 02/11/2025 20:19

I thought Ellie was outstanding and would have kept her for her sparkle

Praise for Vito at this point because of his gorgeous speech

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/11/2025 20:09

Can we, whilst praising Vito, send some praise Ellie’s way as well? It Takes Two after all

Sorry. I genuinely think Ellie has been amazing, she's given it her all, never asked for any kind of special treatment, obviously had a blast and her Spice Girls routine last week made me grin from ear to ear.

I just happen to fancy Vito rotten have a soft spot for him.

I was impressed with this last dance, because I thought it was a challenge for her and it was nicely done.
I'm disappointed that she's gone now, really.

EchoedSilence · 02/11/2025 20:20

I don't think Balvinder Is that good a dancer. She's okay but her dances don't wow me.

Ellies sheer joy at dancing was lovely to see. Plus you could see how hard she worked to get the dances right.

Yes, I was going to say something like this, but I was struggling to word it right. I think the praise has been going to Ellie (rightly so) but/and also because Vito has constantly put Ellie first and made it about her, not him.

Yes that's how I feel

I don't watch EE but I think someone has mentioned that her character isn't very nice in it. Wonder if that's what's stopping the fans voting for her.

Sunshineismyfavourite · 02/11/2025 20:32

I've loved watching Ellie and the relationship she has with Vito - what an amazing guy he is!

I'm not a fan of Bal and Julian - they are my least favourite couple and I don't really look forward to seeing their dances unlike all the others - I don't think she comes across very warm and their connection seems a bit disjointed for me. I would be disappointed for any of the other couples to leave but not them. I don't watch soaps so had no idea who she was but I also didn't know Karen, Harry or Lewis and I love all of them.

gingercat02 · 02/11/2025 20:32

Did Vito know the result? He was very much talking Ellie through the whole results bit. I wonder if they have him the heads up so he could help her get through it.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 02/11/2025 20:35

Awww just finished watching. Ellie and Vito proper made me cry at the end.

Holluschickie · 02/11/2025 20:51

Question: at this point in the competition, whose dances are you rewatching on You Tube? I am only rewatching Lewis and Katya's CC, paso and jive. That tells me everything.

CausalInference · 02/11/2025 20:52

Ellie has been fab to watch, she gave every dance her all and you could clearly see how hard she worked. Vito has been fantastic throughout, so kind, he really put her first and allowed her to shine. I'm sad to see them go.

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 02/11/2025 20:54

That was really touching. Vito is brilliant and Ellie has clearly had a ball.

I think it will always have been in his mind. He’s too considerate for it not to have been, he’ll have been thinking about this moment from the get go.

cordelia16 · 02/11/2025 20:07

It was Michelle.

Thank you, I couldn't work it out, it was Lauren all over again.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 02/11/2025 18:21

It's what I love about Katya, no matter how duff the duffer she's lumbered with she always centres her partner

This is so true! She seems to be an amazing teacher & also a phenomenal choreographer to actually bring out the best in her partners!

PoppysAunt · 02/11/2025 21:39

George deemed a bit deflated.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 02/11/2025 21:42

I couldn't love Vito more ❤️ What a lovely man. Ellie was brilliant, made progress and worked very hard. Sad to see them go.

PoppysAunt · 02/11/2025 21:54

I loved that dance of Ellie's, it was her best! I'm gutted she's gone. What a joy she's been.

PoppysAunt · 02/11/2025 21:55

See you next week!
