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

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Afternoon all, extra spoiler warning in place!

I didn't love that tbh.

Whereabouts on SM was the hate ?

It’s meant to be a Latin dance but it just didn’t feel like one.

It was awful. Bad music and costumes for a salsa and also very little salsa content.

Me too

Yes. And with Ellie and Sam. He only didn't with Tilly because Gordon was always in the audience 😂

He does have a girlfriend.

I thought that was really mediocre from Karen, but most people have decided they want her to be the winner – we’re going to get either her or George this year and it will be very underwhelming

Yes! This. She looks like she’s doing a step routine, too tense?
I don’t get what they say about her balance. She often looks unsteady to me.

Exactly this.

I don't know, I just heard Nikita saying she'd got a lot of hate. I don't think he specified the platform.

That really didn't do it for me I'm afraid.

Didn't Karen miss out a step? She just stopped while Carlos was dancing.

He's right

It did feel a bit more street dance than salsa.

I didn't know it was salsa and I used to do it 🤣

Oh I just saw Nadiya. She's stunning.

Yeah she was late getting up, Craig just pointed it out

That looked more like a couple's choice rather than a salsa.

Yep. No 10 from Craig.

X I presume. It is generally a cesspit for that sort of thing.

Karen’s dance felt frenetic.

is that Adam Peaty?

I don't think either are good enough to be winners but, to me, Karen is much better than George. I will be very disappointed if he wins.

Overscored

I believe that Len would have been having conniptions this evening. There’s been a LOT of interpretive flexibility of the styles tonight!
