STRICTLY 2025 : Week 8 Post Show Chat

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

KEEP DANCING

Sorry I was late with this!

I'm torn, sad for Vicky and Kai, pleased for Bal.
I don't know why but I wouldn't mind Lewis winning as a ringer but I don't want Amber to win, I find her difficult to like.

Neither Amber nor Lewis are in danger of winning, as a ringer hasn't won since 2015.

Bookie's favourite is George even though he hasn't had any standout dances. Even Bal has had a wow moment over George. He needs a breakthrough dance. It is possible atthis late stage. Look at JB last year.

Who was that ringer @xsquared?

I really hope George doesn't win. He's a nice young man but really not of winning standard. I'm team Lewis, I'll be so disappointed if he doesn't win, he's the stand out contestant for me.

Jay Mcguiness

Yeah I know what you mean. I agree with the sentiment that he's a nepo baby and a YouTuber, so maybe this milieu is very different for him. He's a good dancer, but he needs to dig deep, though.

I agree with everything you've said, but as we know, Lewis is a ringer and most people vote for the journey contestant on the TV show.

I think Lewis would probably win a good chunk of the tour shows though.

I wonder why Vicky and Kai aren't on ITT today?

No Kai and Vicky on ITT? Unless I blinked, they've not even been mentioned.

Yes, I was wondering that. The couple going out are usually the first interview

Just watching 'It Takes Two'.

Quite surprised that Vicky and Kai aren't appearing tonight. The usual format is that the couple knocked out make an appearance on the Monday show.

I think Fleur said they would appear later in the week? It was a very quick statement. It's a bit odd.

I love Ashley Banjo unashamedly😍 he is a top bloke and I believe he changes young people's lives because of Diversity.

Oh I hope they are ok,

It would seem that Vicki wanted some time to celebrate her birthday, which was yesterday...

Ah right so she has been on the "lemonade" 😂

I think it was agreed before today, to be fair.

You could have at least let him out to do ITT tonight @NowNumber5 😂.

Least she is ok.

Hey!
ITT stands for It Takes Two right???

Sooo... we were doing our own version 😌

There's another new "feature" to the show....really not sure what I think about this but producers are obviously looking for something to replace the sambathon/lindy hopathon/jiveathon madness of past series

Strictly Come Dancing announces new Instant Dance challenge https://share.google/ldmihMxHLQB5WmHnk

I don’t think I understand the point of this. It says the couples will get to pick a dance style. Surely they can just decide now what style to pick and practice it a bit? Ok they won’t know in advance what music they’re going to get but they can still have a bit of a routine worked out and then just tweak it slightly for whatever music they get. It would be more of a challenge if they were just randomly assigned a dance style on the night.

Diversity were amazing! That was an astonishing routine!

I thought it was awful. Chaotic and the 2 styles of dance just didn't meld.
