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

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Afternoon all, extra spoiler warning in place!

That was great. I’ve feel like she’s put more personality in the dances the past couple of weeks compared to the beginning of the series.

Nikita is a bit of a gurner

Shirley pretending Amber is still learning

Excellent dance. Will she do this one in the danceoff?

Shirley was grudging there. Damning with faint praise.

As always technically good but no bloody chemistry.

Especially when she kicked it into her own face.

That was fab from Amber, she’s objectively a brilliant dancer.

That was great from Amber.

I loved it! It’s not Amber‘s fault she’s the ringer stringer ever – that’s the producers’ fault and she’s the best dancer left so she’s got my vote now, Karen is too inconsistent and the other two are boring

I enjoyed that - good to see different stuff happening in a tango because she's good enough to do more challenging techniques.

Really not sure why Lewis was loved and Amber is hated. He is a trained dancer too!

Yes. As always with Amber it's all learned [and kudos for that] but no oomph, not convincing.

Why are the judges being harsh on Amber and praising Bal who isn't in amber's league?

Is it normally the second dance they repeat with them already wearing those outfits at the end of the night?

I don’t get why people can’t see chemistry between Amber and Nikita…?

I don't mind Amber. She's calmed down a bit since she started.

That was just fine.

Yes, it's really very awkward.
They should say "move like you did in your last West End Musical".

Probably different people to be fair.

She'll do the CC I imagine.

I liked it more than I typically have liked her dances.

She's looking a bit more natural in herself which is easier to watch than anxious perfectionist mode.

She's very talented and you can she works very hard and is dedicated.

I just find her very false, like she always has a mask on. I wish she'd been more open and human during the series, people would have taken to her more.

No idea. They're in a different league. For obvious reasons.

Lovely colour on Amber! She suits that blue.

The social media abuse is towards Amber is egregious. There’s no excuse for it. I hope she’s ok.

He hasn't danced in the West End for quite some time. I'm also not sure how many viewers knew about his experience.
