I'm a dance teacher and judge and just want to say that there is no justice if Rhys is in the bottom two again this week. This guy just oozes potential. This was wonderful

[@robsmith4790]

Utterly agree. Possibly best Male performance of an Argentine tango, since Vincent Simone himself. Agree with earlier comments, I Really didn’t think the track would work for this dance. I was WRONG. These 2 Tango choreographers are amazing, and Rhys and Nancy delivered with aplomb.

[@lynnngo7256]

He deserves it!!

[@deecapetown]

Totally agree with you! .... The one couple left with no "represents a demographic" type of hype / story, and Nancy being a new, 'under-spoken' professional, I think Rhys' actual dancing has been horribly under-voted. I'm pleased the judges scoring was 'right' this week ... (in my peanut gallery opinion :)

[@skyviews100]

I couldn't vote last night due to a myriad of reasons. My vote wouldn't normally be for Rhys but I would have voted for him last night. I'm a massive fan of Rose and dare I say it Dan, but that dance was probably the best I've seen in the whole of SCD (Not that I know anything about dancing) That'd the best way of silencing critics. Both AJ and John made mistakes last night (even to my untrained eye) and should be in the bottom two (based in last night alone).

[@lirmediatv753]

@@skyviews100 my favourite is definitely Rose and think Dan has come on in leaps and bounds but when Rhys gets a dance that suits his style he’s spectacular

[@LovedByYou]

I get emotional watching this, because he needs this. He needed this dance to solidify himself as a semi finalist. He’s earned it truly, and I am obsessed with how steady on his feet he was. It was impressive because you didn’t expect it. He’s come back since being continually knocked down. Rhys Stephenson you are what this show is about. Good for him.

[@daphnethurlow5388]

He has Definitely Earned a place in the Final Go for it Rhys and Nancy

[@jakebowler9763]

Wow. This is Rhys' best dance by a mile. He got the character and energy of this dance spot on and the connection to Nancy was just electric. Technically brilliant as well. Craig said there was a timing issue in the grapevines but I didn't see it. 10

[@Rockchickbabe]

I don’t see any timing issue either!! 🤷‍♀️

Rhys was on time but out of sync with Nancy. If you watch both their feet, they’re not landing at the same time

The fact that the sultry emotion was there from beginning to end was just WOW! Not to mention the ending trick was just superb. This reminds me of Tilly and Nikita two weeks in the bottom 2 and then like "OH NO HONEY WATCH ME TAKE YOUR WIG!!" and my wig is snatched!! LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!!!

[@astrid4532]

I can watch this over and over again. It's an absolutely supreme performance. There's no way, that this can be at the bottom again. This is absolutely mesmerising and magical. I love it. Bravo, Rhys! You are so talented and gifted!!! What a chemistry. Just beautiful.

[@esorybur]

I can't stop watching!!!

[@MyMagical1]

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy...oh my goodness. What an amazing dancer she is. For me, she was given a boy and at the end of this dance, she delivered a man. She ran this dance from start to finish. He followed spectacularly. Great dance. 👏👏👏👏☺️

Yeah! I love these two. Nancy’s choreography is always on top. Rhys did a great job.

[@tad2287]

Definitely a 40. Incredible AT!! ...and the chemistry between R & N was just electrifying. They have come back fighting!! All credit to them.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *10/10* This might be one of the best Argentine Tango's on strictly. It had so much leg kicking and connection. The mood setting of the performance was fantastic. I really loved all the ganchos to they were really neat and clean! He had no mistakes, his hold was perfect, he has really improved on his posture and containing it. I think it's better than his Charleston and his synchronisation was on point. Frame perfect just everything, it was so much better than I expected and they knocked it out of the park with choreography. I really want him to keep improving

[@Zolerous]

Agree on all points. Perfect Argentine Tango delivered flawlessly and with real passion. Get in there Rhys!

[@pennyandfishy7241]

@@Zolerous It really was a beautiful performance, if he was in another year he would def be in the final and could possibly win!

I was so happy to see Rhys and Nancy get voted through this week. The shear joy on their faces and the cheers from everyone in the studio was amazing. They really deserve their place in the semi final.

Ok, this is now my favourite Argentine Tango on Strictly, ever.

[@lynnngo7256]

WhoooHoo!! Yeahhh!!! The choreography , timing, dramatic body language are all amazing! Nancy’s an accomplished dancer and her choreography over the year have been great! It is about time she win this competition. And I’ve believed in him since the beginning. 🖤❤️

[@philipp4850]

AT doesn't get choreographed by the pro.

[@janettechapple6542]

Why do you say ‘it’s about time she wins the competition’? It’s her first time with a partner, it’s not as if she’s been trying for years. It would be an amazing triumph if they did win and it would be Rhys who won.

[@kpickle1684]

Best male celeb Argentine tango in my opinion! I didn’t breathe or look away the whole time loved the reaction from the other pros and Celebs they are such a close and supportive bunch this year. You can see in every dance off it feels bittersweet to them they want to go through but don’t want to say goodbye to someone else

[@adezco]

This dance is just incredible, the intensity, the chemistry, the musicality. Rhys and Nancy outdid themselves. Loved it

[@jillosler9353]

Before last week and his amazing Waltz I hadn't been a fan of Rhys - finding him to frenetic with little discipline and control. But this Argentine Tango took my breath away! Typing this after the Results programme and am so pleased that the public voted for Rhys and Nancy to dance in the semi-finals. 👏👏👏👏

[@HeartCoils]

Absolutely bloody incredible. The best Argentine Tango of this series. I thought the song choice wouldn’t work, but Rhys did amazing. Those ganchos were so sharp. Just wow ✨🔥

[@mizzpeemac4870]

Sensational. I was shouting "Oh Wow Oh wow" througout.

[@danielthestrictlysuperfan6420]

Rhys portrayed the atmosphere of the Argentine Tango perfectly! Argentine Tango is one of those dances where the viewer should be drawn by the couple - I, as a viewer, should feel that there are nothing in the world right now but only them, the night and a single lamp that gives some light. That should be the atmosphere, and both Rhys and Nancy gave it to me 100%. They both looked fantastic in those lovely and classy outfits. I wish they were given a proper Argentine Tango music (although I adore "In The Air Tonight" so much). Nevertheless, it was such impressively executed by Rhys! The lifts were spectacular, the footwork was slick, it had mesmerizing sense of rhythm... a great joy to behold. I wanted it to be a bit smoother and I there were some balance issues, but apart from that it was undoubtedly outstanding! The way he felt the floor, the way he felt the music, the way he felt Nancy... it was simply superb! Best Argentine Tango so far in the series! My score: an 8.
