Strictly 2025 : The Final Countdown. Week 12. 18.35. NO SPOILERS ON THIS THREAD PLEASE!

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Afternoon all, extra spoiler warning in place!

Gorgeous! I always like her ballroom dances.

Completely agree. He showed real potential in his early dances and it just sort of petered out.

I feel like that should have been more showy with the jazz accents of the music.

Very true.
I'd love to have seen what Lauren got out of him.

Bal is the epitome of grace.

Oh Christ they even need to rope in a mam from Oz now there’s no dead mams /nans left

I think he's lovely.

Not the most gracious when she was getting up from the floor but a solid performance. It had fluid energy whereas she sometimes loses oomph in parts.

Dull again

I loved his salsa in Blackpool, and he looked so joyful throughout it!

Footwork slow and stilted I thought.

Yep, I thought he had raw talent a bit like AJ but then they kept dressing him as a kids' presenter and he just wasn't showing the potential.

Julian definitely has to stay!
We need his mega watt smile to brighten up our gloomy grey winter skies every autumn.

She is just classy isn't she ?

She’s naturally elegant, Bal.

That red dress deserves a 10.

And Tess’s snow joke COMPLETELY bombed

Baby Sugg growing nicely there 👶

Yes and making him do songs that they believed would appeal to his voters but didn’t appeal to him @dapsnotplimsolls that Soda Pop was one of them

Yes Julian comes across as a good safe man, great for older ladies and anyone with a vulnerability.

I really hope Lauren gets someone good next year.

Yes, @Coffeeishot ! Grace under pressure!

Love how much Vito is in shot every time the camera cuts to Claudia 😁

Have you let him out for the show @AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta ?
😁

She's got a lovely build, and great physicality for a mature woman from a non-dance/ sports background.

The same applied to Alex too; it's a shame injury got the better of her a couple of weeks ago.
