WOW! Sizzling hot! And that two-step climb up Vito's right leg is such a creative choreographic move - first time that I have seen done during an Argentine tango!

[@jde9711]

That leg climb yes and that long dip and caress looking into each others eyes...oh my ❤

[@debbiethomas3687]

I saw Vincent and Flavia do it in their demos, but I've never seen it in the Strictly competition before. I thought this performance was brilliant.

[@nicholasjames695]

That requires so much trust and synchronization to pull of, the fact that they made it so seemless is beyond words!

[@thelovelymisshill]

Rachel Stevens and Vincent did a similar move in their AT

[@laurabarr7086]

How did they not get 40 . And Craig saying it wasn’t intimate like WHAT were you watching it was fire 🔥!!!!!!!

[@BasicYTHandle]

I disagree. The PRO needs to be more of a tanguero in his frame (particularly his right hand/arm) for this dance in order to provide the proper support AND lead - and to teach the follower to lean more forward into him. The choreography and execution were excellent, but this disconnect made it less than great.

[@CharlotteJones21]

Relax person here there are Outher dancers too wanted the same how are they any different

[@normankennith7919]

angela & carlos should have got 40 last week for their argentine tango!!

[@CharlotteJones21]

@@normankennith7919 yes they should gotten At least a 10 for they commitment

@@BasicYTHandleNormally I would agree, but this song is all about a woman taking control, so I can understand them choreographing the dance this way.

Love Ellie and Vito and this was the best dance of the night ( for me ) I felt the judges and the scoring was all.over the place tonight .

[@Queenofthemuse]

I wasn’t sure if this song would work for an Argentine Tango, but my goodness, I was wrong! The power play between them put a completely different spin on this type of dance, with such intensity, passion, storytelling and drama. The shaping, ganchos and lifts were faultless and timing was perfect! Incredible performance that oozed sex appeal and intimacy. Ellie and Vito are my winners without a doubt!

[@NADEEMM-dw4tl]

Couldn’t have said it better. Absolutely true. Regarding the music I wasn’t sure but this remix matched their dance perfectly! Absolutely sensational and high class performance by them as always.

[@normankennith7919]

good but not as classy as angela & carlos' argentine tango, despite both couples getting 38 points from the judges!!

[@tonyt9703]

Carlos and Angela's Argentine was better...

[@normankennith7919]

ditto!!@@tonyt9703

[@The_Griffins_99]

Personally the selective track playing diluted the impact of her performance , it was dearth of the staccato dynamics and essence one would speculate in an Argentine tango, thus her performance came across as too placed and choreographed

[@heidiblades4811]

I don’t understand why this didn’t get more marks!!! It was such a clean dance!

[@delcat8168]

Craig.. wouldn't notice passion if it bit him on the arse... dunno what he was watching. It was constantly moving back and forth, go away, come hither... smoulder, distain, passion. It was smoking!

[@killermcmurderer6707]

@@delcat8168he never said it lacked passion he said it lacked intimacy, which it did with the lack of A-Frame Anton said it lacked intensity which is close to passion

[@jde9711]

Lot of passion there I think. And...they are now an item. So Anton can talk 😂

[@zxaddictxz]

Clean and sterile more like it. I agree with both Craig and Anton (as quoted here - I did not hear their comments).

They danced the Argentine Tango specialist's choreography so anything found missing by Craig and Anton wasn't E & V's fault. Best dance of the night, I prefer watching them to any other couple !

[@NADEEMM-dw4tl]

Ellie left us speechless. The way she stood on him at the start as well wow that was amazing. She was like a professional in this dance. Stunning way to top off the night. 💯

[@dajtoad1]

That’s a Vincent Simone piece of choreography. I wonder if he was helping out this year?

[@Jalleur14325]

Vito makes her the centre of the dance. That's I think where Luba & Adam got voted out. Luba doibgrumba wasgorgeous but Adam didn't do much.

I've watched this a few times now, and each time it gets better and better. The back and forth, the tension, the movement.. I can only hope Craig and Anton's low scoring and bizarre comments means more people vote for them - they have not done a bad dance.. Also shout out to the band and singers, they really did an ace version of this song!

Score - *10/10* Oooooo, that was smouldering and intense, I was shocked at Anton giving this a 9 when he gave Angela and Nigel a 9??? Come on Anton, this was incredible the connection to the floor, the swivels and flicks, the tricks and lifts were some of the best I've seen, I loved the chairwork and Ellie's musicality all the way through, the Argentine Tango's have been strong this year. The ending was exceptional honestly they absolutely got it perfect ❤👏🏻 bravo!!

Just amazing 😍 and top marks for orchestra for smashing that destiny’s child classic ❤️

[@user-ij1nv8be3i]

As a recreational Argentina tango dancer during 14 years, with yearly visits to BsAs, this is the very first time during Strictly, I recognized something essential Argentinean. Craig is right about the A-shape lacking, but the dynamic and connection and posture was Argentinean. Although Argentineans lean more forwards, and put their weight above the front of their feet. Strong interaction with the musicians ! Exciting choice of music. Applause for the orchestra and singers ! I like the 'Cabaret' introduction very much (Gwen Verdon invented the chair choreography). These two are my winners.

[@patienceboafo1998]

Them two have always been my favourite from the beginning till yet😅

[@BHarding10]

Using a Destiny's Child song with an Argentine Tango twist to it was utterly inspired... I really thought they were just gonna give in to their emotions & give themselves a passionate kiss at the end & I swear they almost did lol! What a dance, what a routine, bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
