That was spectacular. Definitely one of the HARDEST routines on Strictly and one of the best Showdances I've seen. I'd still give a ten despite the tumble. But the score didn't matter because Ellie and Vito WON.

I’m by far more impressed with how she saved herself at the end then if she’d of done it perfectly, her quick thinking was more impressive than that lift could’ve ever been! Amazing! I don’t want her ever looking back at this and thinking she messed up or she wished she could’ve done better, she should watch this back and think damn I did THAT! Because Ellie honey… THAT SAVE WAS EVERYTHING! It’s already an iconic moment in Strictly history. My favourite from week one, so proud! 🩷

Undoubtedly the riskiest and most wildly technical routine of the final with in-sync lifts galore, and to a very high tempo. I'd pay hard cash to see this again with them landing the final lift. Kudos to both of them for even attempting it let alone getting it 99.9% bang-on on the night.
@laurasenz Жыл бұрын
She has nothing to be sorry about-like others, I'm actually more impressed by how she came out of that fall than I would have been if it had gone perfectly. That was an *epically* difficult routine, and I'm actually blown away that someone who said she'd barely been exercising for the past few years was able to pull that off so well. The one mistake at the end didn't negate everything that came before it, and I'm just glad it didn't end in catastrophe, which it easily could have if she didn't have such sharp reflexes and Vito wasn't such a practiced performer.
@laurasenz Жыл бұрын
I'm also impressed that she recovered from what must have been an adrenaline-pumping shock to complete the American Smooth so well afterwards. Even seasoned dancers can get the shakes after a near miss like that. The speed at which they were performing, and the height she was at, if she'd fallen on her head-not good.

She had no dance experience yet every week produced a high quality performance with Vito by her side as teacher and partner. Incredibly worthy winners.

This was the moment I KNEW she was the winner, this was a winner's showdance. The speed, the complexity of the choreography, and yet she made it look easy. Vito has often choreographed for Ellie to do a move on every single beat, and he went BIG for the showdance. I've actually not been wowed by a showdance since Ore, so seeing this was a total treat! I think Ellie landed awkwardly after that spin in the air, and she missed a beat when Vito extended his hand that made her panic going into the last lift. However, absolute props to her for recovering from there and still trying to land elegantly, it can't have been easy to react so quickly to get back to safety!
