I hope that Johannes doesn’t leave
Tess and Claudia are leaving , so it would be a shame to lose such a popular pro

I'm wondering if the producers will take Tess and Claudia's departure to have a pro revamp. For me, the pros make the show.

As a Karen fan since week one I will shamelessly canvas for your votes on her behalf!

I voted for her Peaky Blinder dance but I’m uncertain about her ringer credentials

Katya and Lewis seemed jumpy and avoiding being arm in arm

either they’ve had a row or trying to distract us there not getting it on!

I thought in the dance they didn’t connect

Edited

There's definitely no chemistry between them. I get the feeling he doesn't like her

Right decision for this week although she did dance better in the dance off than she did first time around

I wouldn’t be surprised if there had been some conversations behind the scenes and there was a risk that she would have quit if she wasn’t voted off

Wouldnt be surprised if Bal ends up in the final now the way she is surviving each week

Salsa - West end story
Charleston - Guys and dolls
AT - Phantom of the opera

I think George has the internet vote?
Depends what Karen and Bal both have, but I'd like Karen in the final so that's where my votes will be going. Does Bal get a bonus for making the quarter finals? I prefer her over George.

Ah…

I thought the tabloids said there was

he had his hands in his pockets instead of round her!

perhaps he’s protecting his reputation!

StrictlySequinsandStiIettos · 30/11/2025 20:10

Want Karen and Carlos to do Shall we dance? from the King and I.

Don't want Circle of bloody life for Bal. Would prefer a slow number to Another suitcase.

And would love a group number to One night in Bangkok. But I ask for that every sodding year!!!

EsmaCannonball · 30/11/2025 20:14

I always ask for them to do Mack and Mabel or for some burly Hugh Jackman looking bloke to do Oh What a Beautiful Morning.

Then it's always sodding Disney or, worse, a jukebox musical.

Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat was also on my list. I just imagined someone more Stubby Kaye-like to be doing it.

They actually get on really well from what I can see from their SM. He is in awe of her as a professional, as much as she is in awe of his talent and potential.

Not sure why you think they don't get on.

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 30/11/2025 20:22

I really wanted Alex to get to the final but think it’s fair she has gone.
I think l’ll be voting for Karen from now on.
I do like Nikita though so might throw him and Amber a few votes.
I’ve seen the woman who sings on strictly perform on the west end in Six- she was fantastic.

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 30/11/2025 20:26

I would actually like to see the pros perform a group ballroom or Latin dance, like they did in the past.

They seem to get on OK. These comments come up every year and they're weird. Lewis should be happy he has a partner who is such a good choreographer.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/11/2025 19:59

Balvinder you know, not to disparage her, but she consistently is not getting voted for. I don’t know if it’s a positive thing that the judges keep saving her…

Of course it is. I don't understand this sort of thinking.

Tablefor4 · 30/11/2025 20:30

EsmaCannonball · 30/11/2025 19:49

This choreography for Kai and Karen is a bit Playschool. Also, I briefly thought the lyrics were 'If you want to dance, take my pants, take my pants.' Obviously, I was wrong.

Glad I wasn't the only one. To the amusement of my teen DDs

I don’t understand why if a celebrity drops out last minute it means you need a ringer. Any vaguely famous non dancer would do surely. They should stop having ringers

They have a few weeks of practice before the show starts it probably would be unfair for a total novice,also it will be who is available.

How every year? You mean with Katya and whoever her partner is that year?

What do you think the second line to abba’s Waterloo is? Don’t look it up!

just a random quiz!

“Waterloo…?????

They just don't look close to me is all

EsmaCannonball · 30/11/2025 20:39

I don't mind Balvinder. I like a superfan and I voted for her early on in the run. However, in terms of making a television show exciting and engaging for the viewers, it's a flaw in Strictly's format that the judges/producers can keep in a contestant whom the public have repeatedly demonstrated they are not that interested in watching. It's like a restaurant persistently keeping blancmange on the dessert trolley even though nobody ever orders the blancmange.

It isn't "How do I feel to won the war" is it ?

I assume you mean the second line in the chorus?

I was defeated, you won the war.

Which I only know because I sang it in a concert and we had the lyrics printed for us in rehearsals. I thought it was 'How does it feel you won the war?' !!
