KEEP DANCING

Hallejuah, the boring 'oh look at me, I'm a dancer' has gobe. Now just to loose Amber, equally yawn.

At least Karen, Bal, and George are starting from low / no base and so seeing them grow in skill reflects their abillty.

Karen to win. Such a great advert for sports women.

Absolutely gutted that we are going to miss out on Lewis’s show dance! Amber was incredible and deserved to go through but neither of them should have been there. I did cry watching Balvinder, but she got through on the sob story there!

The last time I was this irritated was when Aston got voted out early in favour of Mollie King. The last couple of weeks are going to be such a let down now. Mehhhh

Those of you wishing Amber had gone, the judges couldn’t not have saved her without looking total fools and destroying their credibility.

Completely agree with you

Agree. She didn't deserve to go.

I don’t think it’s been a good series on the whole.

I still think Amber provides a persona, an act and I just don’t see her as genuine. Karen was the weakest last night and should have been in the dance off with George. It’s probably not worth watching any more.

I think there will have to be a significant revamp if Strictly is to continue. Maybe go back to everyone doing the same dance.

Lewis and Katya have been shafted and I wonder if Katya will leave now.

I don't think Katya will leave.There is nowhere to go, for one. Poor pickings out there for all but a few.

I think there will have to be a significant revamp if Strictly is to continue. Maybe go back to everyone doing the same dance.

I agree.
1 ballroom 1 Latin with everyone doing one or the other.

Like it used to be back in the old days when it was all fields 😂.

Oh and NO MORE fecking couples choice. It doesn't add anything except a load of faffing about, as Len would say.

'Karen was the weakest last night and should have been in the dance off with George. It’s probably not worth watching any more.'

Completely agree. Absolutely hated her samba. She does a few things v well but has no light and shade as a dancer. George has had some good weeks but has been really meh overall

Just gutted for Lewis and Katya, and for Amber and Nikita too. None of them should have been near the DO. Poor Lewis had terrible music and a terrible routine - don't know who's to blame for that. Have watched his CC, Charleston and Jive about a million times over the past few weeks - he's spectacular

Oh, yes, Aston going was a huge injustice. I'm not even a mega fan and can't remember as many of the details as most on here of previous series. But I do remember that being a bad decision.

Lewis was my fave but I wasn’t too bothered if he didn’t win, I just wanted him in the final and I was sooo confident that he would go through. I voted for him every week.

Same! I am gutted we won't get to see his show dance-he was amazing to watch. Amber's dance this weekend was ace as well-neither of them should have been in the dance off.

Bal should have gone-she's made progress, but she's not anywhere near as good as either of them.

Katya could become a judge one day.

I’m going offline for the night shortly so I got the next thread ready, move over when ready

This …. I can only think the fact he is a ringer has gone against him

I did too, more than one vote.

Katya so thought she’d won this year you could see she was gutted

Amber: does anyone feel her routines show way too much gusset? like a young Debbie McGee.

I'm still not over Aston Merryweather

He was cooked by the music and the three way tie. Motsi gifted Bal votes by making her cry. I am voting for Karen hereon in, even though her spine prevents frame/ballroom. I want to see her reprise her jive and AT in the final.

I hope Lewis gets some West End roles.

I'll also be happy if the producers engineer Amber to go next week. Strictly should really be about people learning how to dance. A final between George (novice) Bal (dance as an option at theatre school?) and Kaz (danced as teen with spinal handicap) seems fairer than musical theatre darling.

'Amber: does anyone feel her routines show way too much gusset?'

My god, the poor girl really can't get a break 🤦🏻‍♂️ A DANCER showing some gusset?! Whatever next???

Please not George he’s the only dancer where I watch the Pro and not him boring and wooden comes to mind. I really think Strictly has had its day tbh it’s become boring and predictable and the fact they get people who have dance experience on is not fair. It’s become a popularity contest not a true dancing contest

Heh. I didn't mean it as a criticism of her. More of Nikita's or whoever's choreo. I am a notorious ringer lover, after all. I always vote for ringers. 😉
But all her routines seem to start legs akimbo! Very gynaecological.

'Heh. I didn't mean it as a criticism of her. More of Nikita's or whoever's choreo'

Ok fair enough ☺️ I'm feeling v scratchy about how much people have it in for her so leapt to her defence!
