Sam Quek & Nikita Kuzmin Jive to Time Warp ✨ BBC Strictly 2024

[@HowItFeelsToFlyx]

I wish the thumbnail for the video had them in the first costumes so people who haven’t seen the dance can get the full experience. It’s one of the most iconic moments from this season so far!

[@647JC]

It's all about what views they can get!

[@HannahJ]

I just saw it on IG on someone’s story. I started watching the episode and missed this one. Maybe I’m just not into it so much this year but there didn’t seem to be so much pizzazz as maybe previous years. Anton and Craig dressed up was funny though.

[@mrmrjobo101]

That outfit reveal definitely increased my obsession with Nikita 😍😍

[@acelister16]

me too

[@TigerPrawn_]

How did I not expect that that was what was going to be underneath? 😂😍

[@claire5752]

Love nikita ❤

[@deafeningoctopus]

Ngl this couple gives me bi panic... They get an 8/10 from me this time!

[@ravenclawrumba7096]

my only conplaint is when the timing was lost, i loved this, kicks and flicks were amazing 9/10

[@jamestrishiley3440]

Nikita is in touch with his feminine side and confident with it.

[@heidiblades4811]

The kicks and flicks in the dance were amazing!!!

[@gemstar7286]

I enjoyed it so much , go on Sam !! 😂😁💜👏.

[@bessieburnet9816]

Yo, look at her footwork! Look at those kicks and flicks! Power, speed and precision! She went for it! Well done, Sam!

[@zxaddictxz]

Nikita in fishnets! Christmas comes early!

[@acelister16]

yes

[@HeartCoils]

I was so looking forward to this jive and I was rewarded!! The costume change was just amazing! I think Sam did so well. I’m still waiting for her breakout moment (think it will come in a ballroom dance) but I thought this was just so much fun. They are sooo hot!! 🔥💋

[@Defo_Ev4]

Nikita wore that outfit suspiciously well.

[@lisaR.3]

Her dress was covering seeing the leg action! It could’ve been a bit shorter and still covered the outfit underneath. The kicks and flicks were very good this had so much potential

[@Ryan123o-x]

Her best dance to date wow 9/10

[@apoloniuskemahs9394]

This was BRILLIANT!!!

[@jaaproos8062]

This outfit and dance is superb❤❤❤❤❤

[@rafaelyaguaro2842]

NIKITA!! His Laytonfication has been amazing to see this series compared to his dances in past series before Layton! The jive was amazing and Sam, I think, out dance him. Also, brunette Nikita is doing a bit to much for me xD

[@romilly99]

Laytonfication!! Absolutely the best word to describe how dancing with Layton DID something to Nikita!! 🎉🎉❤❤

[@johngrehan8346]

Great dance moves movement with the hands and the hips fantastic dance

[@scxrletswift]

Omg her kicks and flicks were so good??? When they came out in the costumes I was so disappointed but I should have known! The reveal! Omg! I feel we are seeing a new side to Sam each week. A few errors and timing issues but definitely her best dance!

[@louiseodonoghue7816]

Great way to end the show best Halloween special ever 🎉

[@takata98]

Normally you don't get to see it... but this dance showed us what a fine pair of pins Nikita has! Often called Chicken legs, he evoked my envy. The right guy for this dance for sure lol.

[@emmybm15]

I screamed out in joy at my telly when the reveal happend! As a huge Rocky Horror fan I should have seen it coming and strangely I didn't, in fact I was actually disappointed they were going to be Brad and Janet.... then the reveal happened and I was like "THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!" Yes there were obviously timing issues and I don't care because this performance gave me so much joy and happiness 😅❤❤❤

[@TigerPrawn_]

I went absolutely feral. I didn’t expect it AT ALL either 😂😂

[@victoria6454]

Same! I love Rocky Horror and I was not expecting the costume change. Who cares about the timing issues, this was such fun!

[@poppywillowx]

34000 views and i fear 30,000 of them are me

[@johnaburn1]

This was fun to watch! Can’t wait to see what they do next!

[@romilly99]

I don't care about the timing, I just care about the FUN in this!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@emmafirth3345]

Well Nikita gets hotter every season 😅

[@dkstaray]

Love love the costumes lol.

[@henster25929]

I loved this dance

[@jillcaretto7996]

Absolutely excellent.

[@themripley]

I was literally thinking "why are they having them do the Time Warp in boring Brad and Janet outfits" when they costume reveal happened. 😂

[@Simplychipci]

Same🤣

[@AmeliaSaunders-h2v]

Sam and Nikita for the win.

[@maggiemcgee4358]

Nikita 🔥

[@IvanananaM]

Yesssss !!!

[@MillieBristow]

GO ON SAM! Her best dance! 🔥 her footwork is amazing, I wasn’t particularly convinced on this but I was proven so wrong! She really went for it! Energy, precision, kicks and flicks (they were freaking phenomenal by the way?!) oh just splendid! ❤ but I’m so disappointed they went out of time at one point then it would’ve been perfection! Despite that it was still perfection, she was just stunning today!

[@derrykev]

Great routine and loved the costume reveals!

[@LILYYHEN]

re-watching all the dances ❤

[@acelister16]

1:03 yes Nikita

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *9* I promise I'm scoring Sam's dancing and not how I felt when Nikita took his clothes off 🤫 because I did think this was her best dance yet, her kicks and flicks were so sharp and clean, but not to mention she maintained the retraction all the way through. I feel like it would have been 10's based off the first half, it's such a shame she got out of sync in her kicks at 1:08 because this was so close to being perfect, as the judges say it's her coordination but I wouldn't write this couple off for the later stages at all, again alot of potential here ✨

[@Oskar903]

Her kicks were out of this world😮

[@wehttam8265]

Those kicks and flicks are up there with some of the best I’ve seen on Strictly, she also did a great job of having her weight forward, she also had terrific energy throughout. It’s a shame she went slightly wrong in the routine, but she did well to finish strongly. To reach the next level, she needs to show more musicality in her upper body, but I think she’s doing really well for a complete non-dancer.

[@morgengouldthorpe8690]

Nikita is so 🔥😍 though Vito is still number one in my heart ❤

[@mazybee9149]

Nikitas costume change was out of time, but I enjoy seeing this duo progress a lot 😊

[@susanbourke402]

So good well done sam.nikita wow.

[@meiagal]

Loved them

[@themancunian777]

Great dance this by Sam Nikita - what a tune aswell 😛👍

[@pridewithtrey]

100k views ! couldn’t be prouder of sam and nikita

[@YvonneDeboer-g8v]

I loved it, so different

[@poppywillowx]

my heart is happy

[@JanetMcquillan-q9g]

Very good

[@shivo4659]

if you actually look at the out of time bit - she's on the beat and Nikita isn't....

[@elainebrown1729]

Definitely her best dance ❤

[@FlatcapFlynn]

Len wouldve gone mental as instead of part of the jive being the time warp instead of the jive as tha case of Michelle Williams and Brendan Cole, this was all pretty much the time warp

[@jocavo6956]

Love nikita

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

I was distracted by Nikita... Damn!! I think Sam kept up the footwork but timing was an issue! Looked like Sam enjoyed that! 7/10

[@KianAlleyne]

OMFG, SAM'S COSTUME CHANGE

[@mochi.sweetz231]

My only question is how are 5 people all getting 31 inculding Sam and Nikita💀 but i got distracted by Nikita ngl

[@FOTUNA100]

Let’s be honest. Sam did great, Nikita had a problem with wardrobe. No reason to mark her down on synchronisation. The judges know and we know.

[@traceybradbury5022]

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@ttai213]

I really liked this routine but I think Nikita went wrong when they were out of sync for the kicks. She was kicking on the 4 count and he was kicking on the off beat- it wouldn't make sense for them to be kicking for 3 counts. Nothing on Nikita still loved the routine and pros are only human at the end of the day but worth a mention.

[@rebeccahall5984]

He had a wardrobe malfunction. It definitely put him off

[@maryoleary5044]

It's Brad & Janet 😃💋

[@Nikitaswifey]

Gobsmacked. Low-key ate though

[@TigerPrawn_]

High key ate

[@TrueCrime05]

8 , this could have been next level but great kicks

[@the5thjudge]

Our scores: Me: 8 Diya: 9 Kelsey: 8 Owen: 9 34/40 Sam’s best dance yet, and what a way to close the show! No mistakes, which is impressive considering how difficult the choreography is, I wouldn’t want to do that. The costume change was iconic, she kept up, so much fun and entertainment I really enjoyed it.

[@olibray9100]

I've never been a big fan of sam but shes grown on me her kicks we're impeccable

[@geniushisfriends1260]

Sam didn't look as comfortable in this routine at times but looked like she enjoyed this routine. Well done.

[@HaTer-xs8sh]

Where the professional was off beat.

[@THEWHONERD2001]

Was the music supposed to stop when they were dancing at the end still?

[@TigerPrawn_]

I think they were a bit late to get into it

[@chrisdraw-ster6146]

There were some mistakes if I'm being honest but that didn't stop it from being entertaining, I actually quite enjoyed it on the whole

[@lindadriessen9027]

I loved the performance and the enthusiasm. But not so much the technique. Sam and Nikita are a refreshing couple though.

[@sholtorock5904]

She lost timing in the middle but this was a good way to finish the show

[@TigerPrawn_]

I think her arms suffered because her focus was on her kicks and flicks

[@JurassicParkFan4ever]

Sam is the best technical dancer this year (by far)

[@cmc1325]

😂😂❤❤

[@KianAlleyne]

Me-10 Jessica-9 Amelia-9 Alex-9 37/40

[@MrEchoes1962]

Shame Sam got elimated from the show hmmmmmm.

[@cdn0199]

But why does Nikita look like Leonard from The Big Bang Theory with this brown hair? 😮

[@MillieBristow]

Omg I’m a fan of TBBT and I thought the same thing 😂😂

[@hibbiea8841]

Still Game Star Jane Mccarry Wants To Be Chris' Audience Member

[@Awaitingonyouall]

Omg Rocky horror

[@EthanBell-h5x]

Can we please fire the male singer who chose to sing the song like this. He completely murdered the song and hearing him belt out the high notes of the song was an absolutely painful experience and it completely ruined the dance.

[@ianbarnes961]

Of course, Brad and Janet only watch the time warp...

[@slitherion]

Me: 10 Mum: 9 Total: 19/20 Aka 38/40

[@aryanthorn8624]

amazing dance a little improvement but still room for more Charlie: score 8 me: score 9 Alex: score 9 Jade: score 8 Total 34

[@beverleyevans3262]

Sadly I didn’t think Sam danced this well at all . Out of time with Nikita and her legs were all over the place.

[@JordanRoberts-l6z]

what do you inspect it jive week and it you think you can do better than sings up for it

[@beverleyevans3262]

@@JordanRoberts-l6z No idea what you are talking about really It’s just a comment , I am not a dancer but my daughter is so I can see what is right and wrong with this dance In any case, people don’t vote for the dancing, they vote based on how much they like the person. It’s always seem to me, especially in recent years it’s a popularity contest are not a dance one

[@mariam__x]

Bless her, I think she looked really awkward and I don't understand why she scored so well. BUT she looks like she's having the time of her life.

[@xreichenx2768]

what the. . .LOL

[@ryanwhyte672]

That mouth gives me the creeps.

[@Fazzer77]

Crap doesn't have such things

[@Bethhhf]

I thought she was scored too high tbh! She was out of time a lot and stiff! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@StephenShanahan-hi5uj]

@Bethhhf Tbh Strictly most of the time does tend to score contestants higher than I personally would score them. For Sam, I think that this is easily her best dance.

[@Oskar903]

Nikita was out of time, not her😂

[@LordJohnMcClane4370]

Awful singing, but brilliant dancing and energy on that floor.

[@Sqvz24]

Overmarked as hell Love them tho but not the best dance

[@HaloSummer-l1c]

Hmm 🤨 I don’t like the outfit 🤣but I love the dance😘

[@louisemcd2937]

the outfit is from the film

[@YvonneDeboer-g8v]

Outfit was great 👍

[@enchantededition6879]

When judges are so out of sync dancing it makes the whole show a mockery of itself.

[@Fazzer77]

Not dancing properly

[@Nikitaswifey]

Did you see those kicks and flicks??? Selective viewing at its finest😭😭

[@ClaireMcculloch-d4k]

Epic fail

[@Zzz0989]

Do they think it is cool or something? Shame on you.. Look at that costume 🤮

[@Cherryontop-gh8qe]

Next week Nikita will have to strip off completely to keep overrated Sam in. The dance was 👎and out of synch 🤮.

[@Nikitaswifey]

Oh wow you just love to be a hater don’t you☠️ it’s a camp and glittery Saturday night tv show babe it’s not a big deal

[@RC-oe6gy]

This shows such a cringe fest.

[@chunkyhoey8649]

It's outrageous the costume with Nikita but a great dance there .
