[@callmepitty7823]

I love Aljaz in this outfit! Damn

[@ribena607]

I'm glad she's letting go more and enjoying herself. She needs much much more power and strength in her feet and legs though.

[@mattjones9843]

I love everything about this routine...above the waste. This routine put a smile on my face, but her footwork. It wasn't terrible, but it lacked a lot of energy that I would've wanted for a jive. Especially to this song. (6)

[@dinico9917]

Honestly, Everyone this week has made such improvement! Her best yet! Full on Western Jive! Those kicks and flicks could of been a little more sharp to top it all off, but Great job Emma! 8!

[@russellthompson9271]

Charming and delightful. Glad they're still in the Show 😀

[@cmleidi]

Aljaz was so gorgeous tonight. He didn't have to wear a transparent shirt to be sexy.

[@Norib04]

It’s like she’s half heartedly dancing no WAY she shouldn’t have gone omg

[@matildaox4450]

Georgina Thamesford-Belle she didn’t go Dev and Dianne did :(

[@Norib04]

Donut puppy Pugs yeah I said there’s no way she shouldn’t have gone, meaning she should’ve gone!

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed. Lol. The double negative you put in your first comment is kind of confusing for some folks. Haha. I do think Emma should have left though

[@Norib04]

Nella J yeah clearly 😂 thought it was pretty clear

[@Eurafrican]

A very decent effort, and as far as I am concerned for a non-dancer, Viscountess Emma is coping well. I hope she gets enough support to last a while in this competition. Her beautiful smile is infectious :)

[@Tan87ful]

Ok. Emma surprised me here. She got all of the steps/footwork right. I watched this dance 4 times with that last time watching it frame by frame during all of the side by side kicks and flicks sections. She was on sync with Aljaz. Her kicks and flicks could have been more sharper and precise though which is why I gave this dance a 7 just like all of the judges did. I also wanted more energy and enthusiasm throughout this dance from Emma but she still did good.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

It wasn't as good as it was in training but it was a very good improvement. Alijaz's and Emma's outfits were nice. She points her feet well but some times she can be flat footed but she really does have a lot of trust in Alijaz by letting him do those Grazier moves at the end, very nice kicks and flicks and a very good attempt at a very hard dance especially for taller people like Alijaz and Emma. *7/10*

[@MrJackboothy]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND I LOVE THIS DANCE

[@LexalexusYT]

Hmmm is it me or was this slightly overrated. I won’t lie most of the judging tonight was questionable She got the basic technique nailed and a pretty clean jive but I have a problem with the kicks and her energy. Yes it’s an improvement on cha cha but not a huge leap. 6

[@Nicole-rj4xz]

Her energy is always bad, She constantly looks like she only puts 70% in, On a good day.

[@legaleagle46]

@@Nicole-rj4xz It doesn't help that Aljaz outdanced here on top of giving her some VERY difficult choreography.

[@jetsofaqua2206]

Dani she puts the energy in other ways. It’s abstract to what a performer does because she’s not a bold performer! She’s a beautiful one. I’m not a Stan or anything but if you watch her feet it’s beautiful how she exchanges weight and heel from toe etc...

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Lexalexus I think she has problems with her energy levels due to people trying to poison her food and drinks with mould and rohypnol! It causes a massive cognitive impact on her energy levels in all areas, including head pain, slower responses, respiratory levels during exercise, fatigue levels, concentration, focusing on task, forgetfulness and short term memory loss! She has someone that keeps stalking her that wants to cause pain because of their mental health issues and reluctance to address it rather than taking a grievance with her! I feel sorry for her and her mum! They feel proud of each other though and their achievements for coming this far in the face of adversity!

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Dani, her energy is probably down due to having her and her daughters hair cut wonky on purpose due to a grievance with her and her daughter by the hairdresser dani Hughes!

[@booklozz]

I love the costumes!

[@rossmh1495]

Emma needed to have a bit more attack and get further down into the floor with her kicks as this would’ve given the dance a much more powerful and punchy looking appearance. I really liked the sat stairs section at the top of the dance and thought that she showed some character and acting skills for one of the first times. My only worry is that this wasn’t one of the more memorable dances (Chris being a more memorable jive due to opening the show, being punchier and having two birds strapped to his shoulders) which paired with the fact that she’s one of the lesser known celebrities may result in people not picking up the phone to vote for her leading to us possibly seeing her in the dance-off. 7/10

[@maggiemcgee4358]

OMG, Aljaz!! 😍

[@Rai_S82]

I just came here for Aljaž 🤤

[@elb2881]

Personally this was my favourite dance of the night. They both genuinely look like they're having the best time whilst dancing it and I think the footwork was brilliant!

[@okebadandahunsitv1740]

Well Done, Emma😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@maritta2504]

Aaaaah, Alijaz. I really love him, hope they stay in the competition very long! Emma also is definetely better than Kate last year, so she actually should stay longer...

[@Thomassteven00]

Emma W seems more like a ballroom girl but she shows promise in the Latin

[@AlexandraMason1]

I loved it!!

[@oliviasheldrke9962]

He’s a ball of energy xxxx

[@rumarahim4384]

Aljaz used very good choreography and I really liked this having said that the dance needed more energy and punch 🤛🏽 from Emma so a respectable 7️⃣ from me!! 🤗 x Best dress of the night 👗 loved it!

[@karenbossywoman9920]

Ah I remember that night at my friend's watching this. Remember the whole drama when they were saved lol

[@padimcclay9894]

I thought it was a little overmarked Not lively enough 6/10

[@jessh5111]

Yeah

[@barbara-annemcgregor1769]

I agree

[@roter13]

Oh Aljaz! That's all

[@themlgyoutuber8082]

At 1:57 Alijaz kicks a piece of confetti that was under his shoe lol

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

I like this song by Kim Wild! My parents liked Kim’s dads music too, Martin Wild!

[@clairemacdougall8325]

I like both couples. But if it comes down to dancing alone I am honestly surprised that dev and Dianne went home

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed

[@Eurafrican]

No way did this deserve to be in the dance off! Stupid public voting once again...

[@Eurofan1995]

Enjoyed it 7

[@imaruby8340]

Everyone is saying dev and dianne left is it true if so I’m so sad

[@tillyplayz2428]

Soz it is true

[@tillyplayz2428]

I cant get over of Mike getting them out. Who agrees?

[@Robert-hz3xm]

Go Emma go emma it's a 7️⃣

[@darthvader1214]

I really like Emma, and I hope that she's not in the bottom two tonight.

[@itzryonhi7082]

SPOILER Her and dev are in the bottom and guess who goes ...

[@kate7414]

@@itzryonhi7082 wtf wrong bottom two...yes i think dev's dance wasn't his best but everyone has their dance they struggle with and if he leaves because of that i....also a lot of people had problems trying to vote for dev and dianne tonight.... oh no:(

[@user-jc6kh5bk8v]

Itzryonhi wait wtf? How did that happen? Where did u get this info from

[@milliewhyte7761]

A :D omg are people living under a rock or something. There is a strictly spoiler online that says who is in the bottom two for this week. It is always acurate as I’ve looked at it for previous weeks. Emma and Dev were in the dance off and the judges unanimously saved Emma. Dev was illuminated 🙂

[@MadMaisie50]

I liked this jive! 👍🏻 The jive is a very fast dance and notoriously difficult for taller people. The jive is my favourite Latin dance. Agree could have been a bit more sharper but on the whole Emma gave it a good try!

[@hyukahrtz6807]

It was too overmarked I’d give it a 6/10.

[@anitatharmarajah7905]

They did good but I would say equal to dev and dianne, not better

[@thespb0141]

It was a very close dance off, but I would have given it to Emma.

[@clairelyle5838]

Emma skiinnnyyy

[@unicornloverallroundupsidedown]

Dianne and Dev should not have lost to this

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

It's difficult because I think Dev is a better dancer than Emma, but he was basically doing nothing in his cha cha. All you saw was Dianne dancing around him and he's just standing there doing nothing. Emma did a lot more here. It was all about the choreography. You want to blame someone? Blame Dianne.

[@unicornloverallroundupsidedown]

@@Kevin-sm8pn Damn this was like 2 years ago how are you still pointing fingers 😂😂

[@alicevictoria8463]

She just doesn’t have the right energy for this dance in her legs. Her face looks alive, but her footwork is lacking. Definitely overmarked, although she clearly worked hard on this.

[@charlottegamez4455]

That’s not very nice

[@ajrein4226]

Over-marked

[@jetsofaqua2206]

How?

[@Thomassteven00]

Emma has improved but i still think her nerves getting the best of her she looks a little nervous when she dances overall a good competent routine still room for improvement 7/10

[@23nath]

How me and my friends rated it - Me- 6/10 Friend 1- 6/10 Friend 2- 5/10 Friend 3- 6/10 Total - 23/40

[@lewism31]

Do ur friends have names?

[@hanamirmehdi6077]

I’m sorry but she is NOT better than Dev.

[@Eurofan1995]

Hana Mirmehdi she was in this dance though

[@elizabethbaker9745]

Hmmm repeat of Brian Connolly and Chizzy Akudolu??? Save the 'star' not the better dancer?

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

No, Dev is the better dancer, but He basically did nothing in his cha cha. Like seriously. He was just standing there like an idiot while adianne was dancing around him. It was all about the choreography and, unfortunately, Dianne is not the best choreographer. You want to blame someone? Blame Dianne.

[@RM-rc1tf]

Not sure about this. I feel sometimes with dances like this and horrible music, basic choreo is better than running about the place. Keep it simple -- stop n go's, American spins, kickball flicks and she would have looked much better. The section of running up to the prop wall at the back and then immediately jumping off is really not worth the time/showing her improvement. I'm a huge Alijaz fan too so yeah. Although the section at 1:22 is neat.

[@loupayne5346]

this made me think of One Direction... if you know, you know

[@Nightcore_edits]

I thought this was a bit overmarked but I’m not a professional or anything just felt a bit flimsy . 5 from me

[@dan_____martin]

Agreed but can’t stop watching it for some reason lol, mainly can’t stop lookin at aljaz

[@Nightcore_edits]

Danny Mertin I get what you mean I.cant stop watching the strictly dances this year I’m going to the live tour

[@ruthcrisp1966]

Totally agree!

[@danielthestrictlysuperfan6420]

It was precise and neat. Great musicality as well. Haven't said that, I wanted to see much, much more energy from her, she did not give it her all, her kicks could have been sharper and slicker and there was no hip rotation during her chasees. I want her to step up her game, to give it her all on the dancefloor, to dance each and every time as it is her last one. Excellent sense of rhytm and placement of the feet, but not enough energy and technically not flawless. A 6.

Nice, but Aljaz needs to dial his own dancing down a bit to match hers. He outdanced her so much that he pretty much dominated the dance, which had a LOT of difficult content in it!
