STRICTLY 2025 : Week 8 Post Show Chat

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

KEEP DANCING

Sorry I was late with this!

I've nothing particular against La Voix but I think the partnership has reached its limits in terms of ability and potential. A bye is problematic at this stage I feel.

Yes, I agree with that on both counts.

I suppose the rules would have to be changed to prevent a by later on. Perhaps after the first few weeks? I can't remember, but I think it may have happened later. Someone else may know.

Karen and Carlos are doing a Paso to O Fortuna which Natasha and Brendan did in Series 1

Karen and Carlos should be able to do a good paso. I really want her to do well!

I don't understand why the judges were so negative on Saturday it seemed really unnecessary, loved their tango.

Excuse my ignorance- how much is recorded? Just the singer and pro dance? So in the studio there’s an interval while everyone changes, then they come back and do the dance off, interviews, and then head home? I’m totally in the dark about the whole day 2 process. I’m just amazed they don’t slip up with all the ‘last night’s!

Plus: l love Carmina Burana!

Yes, all the pro dances are recorded before the series, August I think (which is why we've seen Gorka). The singer/performer is also recorded. I'm guessing they show it on a screen while everything is set up?
Someone on here may have been to the show and can explain in more detail.

@PrizedPickledPopcornwhat @Asunciondeflatasaid. I don’t know as have never been, big bucket list item but always get rejected

Blackpool songs and dances...

Alex and Johannes - Couple’s Choice to History Repeating by Propellerheads ft Miss Shirley Bassey and Look At Me by Geri Halliwell

Amber and Nikita - Quickstep to Reach by S Club 7

George and Alexis - Salsa to Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now) by Bob Sinclar

Karen and Carlos - Paso Doble to O Fortuna by Carmina Burana

Lewis and Katya - Charleston to I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys

Thanks @munchbunch12

I've been having a bit of bother with the MN site today! It looks like there's been a global issue with lots of sites.

Thanks, @munchbunch12 - sounds good. I'm looking forward to Alex's CC.

I’m looking forward to Lewis dance

Yes, a very good example of how mental attitude can influence a performance. It's a shame that Vicky's nerves got the better of her. Totally understandable though. Kudos to Bal for keeping it together.

Kym Marsh had a very late bye. Week 10 or something.

Ah, yes I seem to remember that.

I liked that. Kind of a worlds collide kind of vibe.

If La Voix is not dancing, I think it will be Bal and George in the DO.

Or Bal and Alex. Amber if she isn't top of the leader board.

I hope Alex and Johannes do something interesting for CC. Seems like contempowaft is off the table with the song choice.

I would have loved to, but have read it’s challenging- queueing, not allowed to leave your seat etc. I wouldn’t cope, sadly.

They already lost Stefan. What are they going to do for the final if La Voix isn’t able to dance next week? Producers must be stressing.

I don’t watch ITT but apparently that isn’t shown live and Fleur talked about La Voix today as if they were still dancing on Saturday.

There was a caption on the screen saying that La Voix wasn’t dancing.
