Strictly 2025

[Finn]

I absolutely ADORE La Voix on this show. The dancing's already good and the chat stuff is just end of the pier joy. Get her hosting Blankety Blank pls BBC

 

[disneyteletubby]

Thank goodness for that.
Amy

Did enjoy George’s reaction to dancing to Soda Pop

His horrified face! Belatedly realising he's going to be saddled every time the 70-something BBC producers google "What do the YOOF like?" whilst everyone else gets Bond or Mission Impossible themes.



Ross King did not strike me as someone who would particularly benefit from the public vote. But good for him!

 

[Finn]

Love that they went ACTIVATE THE SCOTTISH VOTE for Ross King (Proclaimers; Scotland in VT; kilt) and it worked

 

[FetchFugly]

Not a friend for the life Amy!

A merciful result, though the reshuffling of the result show wasn't an improvement.

 

[Shoat]

And all before he could get JD Vance into the audience

 

[PercyPig]

According to The Rest Is Entertainment, Strictly actually attracts more right-wing viewers than left — yet even they didn’t seem to care about Thomas Skinner. So it feels like the smallest, loudest voices are still shaping the narrative…

Nothing new there

 

[rhythmbandit]

Was Zara Larsson singing pho-net-i-ca-lly? I barely understood her.

 

[lolly]

Is it just me, or is Aljaž looking the hottest he ever has now?

 

[rhythmbandit]

Fatherhood has been good for him.

 

[FetchFugly]

Stefan is ill and has a one week bye.

I'm sure they'll be hoping he can return and they aren't another one down.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Nice seeing Cynthia Erivo join the panel! (Not awarding scores but comments)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Alexis and her doing the cartwheel which was impressive

They both did a cartwheel that was a fun dance, nicely done.
Shirley said flying like an angel

 

[disneyteletubby]

I've only began watching from Alex Chris and Nadiya's, he definitely improved, hopefully not in the bottom again (also because the guitar in Sweet Child O' Mine annoys me haha)

 

[disneyteletubby]

That Tess and La Voix bit made me laugh

And "thanks for lending me the clothes, Tess" (The dancing was lovely )

 

[disneyteletubby]

That random discussion about wearing a wig

 

[FetchFugly]

Sweet Child O Mine is a testing song but there were some scary vocal moments on that. Chris is surely in trouble going on second with that.

Not giving you seed in your hand Shirley

 

[FetchFugly]

The way super mentor Cynthia just sits in the middle awkwardly clapping while the others whip out their paddles.

 

[FetchFugly]

Ross King's PASO PURSED LIP

 

[Shoat]

I do quite enjoy the ridiculous pretence at "Soda Pop" being a "Couples Choice" when George had already made his DISMAY rather public.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Really nice dance from Balvinder and Julian again I get the footwork thing though️, hopefully easy enough to improve on.

 

[FetchFugly]

That dress was doing incredible work for Karen but she gives it welly and is so charming.

 

[FetchFugly]

Motsi scrabbling around on the floor

 

[disneyteletubby]

Very undermarked, Karen was so good at that and so genuinely nice too

 

[disneyteletubby]

Excellent first rumba from Jimmy and Lauren! ♡

 

[FetchFugly]

Very undermarked, Karen was so good at that and so genuinely nice too

The 4 from Craig was unnecessary.

 

[FetchFugly]

Lauren is doing a very good job with Jimmy. She has a bit of the old school Strictly about her.

 

[Shoat]

Did Jimmy's routine genuinely end with STRANGULATION?

I suspect Shirley will be in for some stick this weekend with her scores. Too harsh with Balvinder. George was good but absolutely not a 9, and I don't think their trying to give him a "winners edit" so early will help him in the least.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I do also see the heaviness in that Charleston from Vicky and Kai, but it was still fun to watch/listen. ️
Also I didn't really think about how they also dance in the morning before the show, as Cynthia mentioned.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Last week I searched about the Barbie doll after Ellie mentioned it, very sweet and I like the idea of a chromosome necklace

An awesome dance too!

I think the CC scores seem to exist in isolation from all the other dances. They always seem to get carried away but I agree definitely not a 9.

 

[FetchFugly]

Ellie was great this week, what a fun routine.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I enjoyed that dance from Alex and Johannes, the song too (they should get KT Tunstall for one of the shows) and her acting

 

[FetchFugly]

Alex is great but that seemed to be quite generously scored.

 

[ButterTart]

I didn't really get the praise for Harry. Was he not a bit clompy?

 

[FetchFugly]

Well one storming Paso this week. A 10 felt a little too much but Motsi was only going to restrain herself so long.

 

[FetchFugly]

I didn't really get the praise for Harry. Was he not a bit clompy?

I thought between the two of them it was quite disconnected and for him more of a return to his first dance. Even Karen didn't look that at ease with it to me.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Motsi as new head judge could be good

Oh now I get it, they pointlessly change each week who'll have the casting vote.

Also I think best till last (of the ones I watched in full) again this week️

And same this week for the Paso Doble from Lewis and Katya! I'm glad for her and that 10 though she hasn't had a particularly good dancer since Joe for her debut, 9 years ago.

 

[Shoat]

There was a ROGUE Sharleen Spiteri in the audience they occasionally cut too - are we getting a Texas performance in the results show?

 

[ManicKangaroo]

no, Lang Lang
