Agree with Craig, I had to ask dh what dance is this supposed to be.
Worse dance so far but the public seem to like George so he will get through.

DollopOfFun · 15/11/2025 19:35

Craig made me laugh. I was thinking the same, a shit load of words not really saying very much about a decidedly average dance.

EchoedSilence · 15/11/2025 19:32

All their dances show her off though.

She was allowed to on this occasion. George did dance though.

I agree with Craig, there was too much ballroom and even samba bots to be a true rumba.

They’ve been harsh on her from Week One

I dont know why they are like this with Bal- they only do this with her. They spend a lot of time criticising.

Because they are like this with her she has been getting all my votes every single week. I thought her dance was lovely tonight.

Agreed. Too much guff from Anton.

It’s a spectacularly ugly dress in an ugly colour. Are they punishing Tess for leaving?

Every week I think that her stylist hates her. It would be so easy to dress her too with her model-esque figure. Someone needs to be arrested and jailed

My mum died of cancer too and all grandparents are dead. I don’t think that is something I would bring up in a competition though. It would feel too manipulative and exploitative

I’m in the same position and I just can’t imagine talking about it on a national TV competition. I really wish we were back to VTs being mostly about learning the dance and the odd spousal visit and a lot less about dead nans.

BogRollBOGOF · 15/11/2025 19:36

AnneShirleysNewDress · 15/11/2025 19:34

Also agreeing with Craig. That’s on Alexis though.

There's been a few dances where the choreography has been the issue rather than the way George executed.

chaosmaker · 15/11/2025 19:36

How can 'Queen of Rumba' score that an 8?????

Chairity · 15/11/2025 19:36

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 15/11/2025 19:35

I don’t think George milks it. He says it, and he’s honest, but he doesn’t do it for sympathy, to get sympathy from the listener, as so many people make it me, me, me, he really doesn’t.

I agree

SweetBaklava · 15/11/2025 19:36

Someone needs to have a chat with Alexis about her choreo, it’s not fair on George. I’m not a dance expert but even to me I could see that was quite clearly not a rumba 🤷🏻‍♀️

C8H10N4O2 · 15/11/2025 19:37

How did that score more than Bal and Julian?

Yes, I agree.

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 15/11/2025 19:37

George overmarked.
Alexis is the new Ola.

It shouldn't have.

Mokel · 15/11/2025 19:37

Can I say what are those puffball armbands that Shirley is wearing?

Im giving my votes to Karen and Carlos with a vote for Alex n JoJo

Alexis is the new Ola.

She went full Ola in Halloween week.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 15/11/2025 19:37

So theyve given La Voix the best slot

If you could vote to evict, I absolutely would

Craig said it was like a Couple's Choice. True.

I was just thinking about a vote to evict earlier :)

It’s really frustrating as well because he has loads of natural ability. I thought early on that he had the potential to win but I don’t think he will now if this continues.

A proper Tango ❤️

C8H10N4O2 · 15/11/2025 19:39

SuziQuinto · 15/11/2025 19:37

Yes, I agree.

Just watching Katya’s VT with her explaining the how and the why of some of the steps - this is what I want from the VTs. I find it really interesting to see the pros explaining the mechanics of the dance steps.

I do not want to be emotionally manipulated for clicks.
