😂😂 even though they are Swedish 😂😂

they are aren’t they?

Yes they are. I dunno, maybe they were history buffs with a deep love of the Napoleonic wars 🤔😂 . Because when they promised to "love you forever more" I always thought they meant Napoleon 🤦.

Its a bit of a dodgy song if you really think about it “couldn’t escape if I wanted to”

Myles Smith didn't seem to have taken his coat off. He won't feel the benefit when he goes outside.

Did Alexis not shout 'take that off straight away' at him?

Yes. I've just had another look at the lyrics. Shades of 'As long as he needs me'!

Made more so by the relationships between the female singers and the male lyricists!

metaphorically it is quite a dark song set to a catchy tune that people sing without knowing or thinking about the lyrics!

Butteredtoast55 · 30/11/2025 21:14

Did anyone else notice that Alex was wearing a completely different outfit in the VT at the very beginning of the results show? It was blue, sparkly and much shorter that the dress she actually performed in. It made me wonder if she had to have some strapping on her leg maybe?

🤣🤣🤣🤣.

@Doggielovelouie Thank you! I'm relieved that it wasn't just me.

@Doggielovelouie Thank you! I'm relieved that it wasn't just me.

I think recently I may have even thought the line about not being able to escape was obv Napoleon lamenting on the island he was exiled to

which also doesn’t make sense because he did escape didn’t he - or was allowed to

😂😂

That's a rubbish analogy and a rude one. It's not that people aren't interested in watching someone, it's that they probably prefer someone else, not that they dislike someone. Contestants aren't voted out.

I can't believe that people don't realise the purpose of the dance off is to put the couple through who perform the best. Not to appease the public. I don't know how people don't get this after 20+ years. This so annoys me.

In addition, this week, if they had saved Alex, she'd have either struggled through with an injury or resigned through injury, totally stuffing up the final.

Edited

Yes, I do know the purpose of the dance off; I just don't agree with it. An entertainment show keeping in people the audience finds the least entertaining just doesn't make sense. I'd prefer it if Strictly went back to the days when it didn't have a dance off and was a bit more exciting. Celebs who persistently end up in the dance off have a tendency to see off those journey contestants who have one bad week.

Yes, I saw that too!

No it isn’t

shock horror 😮

its “I was defeated you won the war”

I was in total shock the other day - I’ve been singing same as you along with 99% of the population!!

I saw that on something maybe we watched the same thing ? but i too had been singing it wrong !

Could be Bal and Amber in the DO next week?

I’d think bal and Amber or bal and Karen in next DO (Depending how well Karen does) it’s likely to be Amber, Lewis and George in the final. Because it’s likely Lewis and Amber would win any dance off they are in and George has over a million followers backing him.

EsmaCannonball · 30/11/2025 22:37

In the quarter finals and semi finals it becomes mathematically much harder for those at the bottom of the leaderboard to escape the dance off.

xsquared · 30/11/2025 22:51

Really hard to call who will be in the dance off, other than Bal as she is the weakest and low on vote ranking.

Amber, Karen and Lewis have topped the leader board multiple times, but I wouldn't be surprised if Karen is getting more votes than any of them now, so she may just about escape a dance off even if she is second from bottom.

Too many ifs and buts at the moment still!

Yes.

And I think George is going to win, because he's a complete novice and he's got a huge online following.

Redlocks30 · 30/11/2025 23:50

I really hope so-this would be my choice!

Holluschickie · 30/11/2025 23:54

I can't recall a single dance George has done tbh. Maybe the latest QS.
The only dances I will watch again on You Tube are Lewis's dances and about 4 of Karen's.

People thought that of Joe Sugg.

They get on just fine.

Lewis has a girlfriend as well, so maybe he's trying to be respectful as he's on TV.

He's just done an intimate dance with Katya, and they don't need to be all over each other after that.

I agree they don't have to be all over each other to "like" each other, if she was hanging off him people would be saying oo look at her. I wonder what his girlfriend thinks! I think we forget she had creepy Wynn last, Katya can't do right for doing wrong.

Waterloo is a song that seems upbeat and great but is actually about a woman surrendering to a man she has been resisting

It’s historically inaccurate, because Napoleon never actually surrendered at Waterloo, he just buggered off. He was apparently having a snooze in his tent when someone came to tell him it was all over.

would be my choice too. Karen has not demonstrated any actual ballroom ability so far, she has only done energetic dances albeit she has done those very well. I think the finalists should be should be at least proficient in both ballroom and Latin/fast dances.
