No I didn’t enjoy it either she seemed hesitant and a few stumbles too.

Unfortunately if Amber is in the dance off she will knock out a fan favourite as the judges will save her.

I gave 2 to Bal, 1 each to Alex, Karen and Harry. I really hope none of them end up in the DO with Amber as the judges will save Amber.

I gave all my votes to Bal this week. She was such a joy to watch tonight .

I always post my “after show” comments before reading the thread so I can’t be swayed by other people’s opinions 🤣

I felt sorry for Alex tonight but I agree with the judges, it did fall a bit flat. I have to say thought that nobody has the same presence on that dance floor than Johannes! He’s phenomenal!

George was my favourite tonight!!

I didn’t get all the hype about Karen and Carlos to be honest - I don’t know why. It all seemed really chaotic to me.

Kai looked as gorgeous as ever but again, I didn’t get all the hype.

For the first time, I didn’t watch Nikita and Amber tonight. I can’t take to her at all and whereas I normally really like Nikita, I’ve really gone off him this series, which I imagine is because I just find them a little bit insufferable as a couple.

As soon as Harry started flexing his pecs at the beginning of his dance I went to go and book the kettle. When I came back the dance was still ongoing but it just looked so uncomfortable. Karen looked amazing though!!!

I liked Lewis and his partner’s dance - I hadn’t realised how muscly he was!!

I don’t really find Le Voix’s dances pretty memorable bit I do love the fact that whenever he was shown in the clauditorium after his dance he was wearing red slippers and not his heels 🤣🤣

I’m glad Balvinder had a better week but that’s always the case when it’s a CC isn’t it? They dance to the strengths with no real dance rules to adhere to so I never take their dances as seriously.

I think Alex and Le Voix will be in trouble tonight bit hopefully Alex will be saved and given a chance to redeem herself.

Alex seemed off colour. I hope it’s a blip and not a sign that she’s had enough.

La Voix doesn’t seem to be improving.

I love Harry but I’m not sure he’s getting better either.

Balvinder and Julian were wonderful.

La Voix doesn’t seem to be improving.

No, he's been terrible from the get-go.

I think they look like a roller has detached from a car wash.

Vicky drives me up- the wall. All this positive pigeon rubbish and she's so over the top. I watch and enjoy her dances but I would not vote for her. I mute her interview segments too.

Someone wore an outfit like that on the Masked Singer. They were dressed as a car wash. I think it was Louis Smith.

I'm quite surprised by Alex. I think it's because the women I've seen her play have been gutsy and daring but her real life personality is a bit twee and ickle girlish. I've loved a couple of her dances but I guess I was hoping we'd be getting Dr Elizabeth Corday on the dancefloor. I still quite like her and think she's a good signing. I just want her to be a tad villainous and more ballsy.

I've never watched the Masked Singer - the very brief clips I have seen make me think it wouldn't be my thing. But I do think oh I need to wash the car when I see a Strictly cast member in a tassel suit.

Has she had any family attend the show? She had some “village friends” and the actress who played Kerry Weaver on ER was there but other than that I thought she seemed on her own and it must be a very intense experience if you’re going through it relatively alone.

My votes went to Balvinder
Ds always wants to throw votes to george
Karen H looked amazing tonight but agree Harry Is starting to fall behind
Vicky was great
didn't enjoy karen's Charleston

Is Blackpool next week or the week after?

I’m away next week so hoping week after . Also they didn’t mention Blackpool and the week before it’s usually mentioned every other sentence

It's the week after.

I’m really not liking Nikita this series. I don’t enjoy Amber’s faux seeming ‘I’m so modest really and I worry so much about my ability’ vibe.

I felt like the judges were watching different dancers than I was, especially Karen and Carlos and Amber and Nikita.

Thought Karen and Carlos' Charleston was way too messy and wild. No idea why the judges all fawned over it. Motsi and her 10 🙄

Alex was a bit dull and hesitant this week

Vicky was really fabulous. Think she's been way over praised and over marked most weeks but deserved it tonight. She's v annoying though!

Lewis was great but not a patch on last week

Agree that Harry and La Voix are not improving. Adored La Voix's paso last week though

Does anyone remember Man O Man?

I really like Karen and I really like Think by Aretha Franklin but I thought the music really worked against that Charleston.

Yes!!! God, what a cringe fest that was 😁 didn't they get thrown in a pool when they got voted out? 🤣

Did Davina McCall present that?

Wasn't it Chris Tarrant?

I’m obviously getting confused with something else!
