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

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Afternoon all, extra spoiler warning in place!

Goodness, there are some nasty posts on this thread

i think it was an odd choice as a couples choice dance in a week where its obvious she's losing the public support because of her experience.

Jamelia was the other contestant to be in the dance off almost as many times as Bal (6 times) with 5 times. Can’t help but feel there’s a bit of a pattern, but I don’t know…

She didn’t choreograph the routine though. She can only dance what she’s given. Amber hasn’t been my favourite but she has been the better dancer in both this dance off and last week’s so she deserves to have won them both.

Well said Julian 🥰

Balvinder's done a fantastic job. She can be so proud of herself and she's done it with dignity through the repeated dance-offs. I've really enjoyed her dancing and I'm glad she made it this far.

They are all winners, let’s face it.

Yep

Has the “winner “ of the DO in semi final week ever gone on to win the whole thing?

She didn’t get the chance to do it earlier did she?

I much prefer Amber to Layton BC he was so full of himself.

yes there are.. have you seen the comments about how the judges are dressed? and what's been said about George?

I think these two have been a fantastic partnership. I’m sad to see them go.

I am a Tess and Claudia fan!
i will miss them both.

Yes, and the hate towards Bal's assumed religion.

I've just caught up - mumsnet went weird on me. I would LOVE Indie Night!

It really won't. My absolute favourite show for many reasons actually. I suspect they will be changing the format somewhat with the new presenters. It really won't be the same. End of an era for British TV 😪

Nah, I don’t think at all… I think you’re being unnecessarily mean towards Amber.

Motsi has looked stunning this series. Fabulous outfits.

I liked Julian's point that it took 6 dance offs and a perfect score to take Balvinder out.

Did you have the same opinion when its been said about any ringer? How about Lewis, or Leyton whenever he was dancing?

OR is it just the comments about Amber you have issue with?

If nothing else, references to a contestant’s “faith leader” will live on via future MN threads, so that’s something to be thankful for.

So I’m going offline now so the next thread is here, please fill this thread first.

Amber is an amazing dancer, but I thought it was a bit boring compared with other couples choices?
