OMG, I'm so hyped for this week's Strictly Come Dancing episode!!! 😍 I think Lewis Cope absolutely nailed his rumba and insta-jive combo - it was like he had the moves of a seasoned pro! 🕺 And don't even get me started on Katya's stunning rumba dress - it was literally the perfect outfit for that dance 💃🏻. But, oh man, Alex Kingston's cha-cha was pretty rough... I mean, I've seen better dancing in my living room 😂. And can we talk about Nikita's outfit? Ruffled lobster? 🦀 What was she thinking?! 😂 Anyway, I'm super excited for the Instant Dance challenge this week - Lewis Cope and Karen Carney going head-to-head? Bring it on! 💪
 
🤔 I was a bit surprised by how tough it looked for Alex Kingston, her cha-cha just didn't seem to land right 😐. At the same time, I loved Katya's outfit, that rumba dress was fire 🔥! And George Clarke's music choice? Yeah, maybe not so much 🙅‍♂️... what do you guys think about this week's Strictly? Do you think Lewis and Karen will take down each other in the Instant Dance challenge? 💪
 
omg u guys can you believe alex kingston got roasted for her cha-cha 💁‍♀️😂 i mean i was team alecs but lol whoever thought prince music choice was a good idea for george? 🤣 Prince would never 😂 the judges were hella funny tho especially anton and claudia's banter 👏👯‍♀️
 
I'm soooo excited for the next episode of Strictly Come Dancing 🤩... wait, no I don't think it's going to be that great 🙅‍♂️... actually, I kinda love the way they pair up contestants with their music choices 💃, but George Clarke's Prince outfit was a bit much... or was it? 😂 Maybe he just pulled it off, idk... and what's up with Nikita's ruffled lobster dress tho? lolol 🤣 I think Katya's rumba dress was super cute though 👗.
 
Ugh I'm so done with these judges!!! Like seriously who lets Anton walk all over Claudia like that?? 😱😂 They're supposed to be experts not roastmasters 💁‍♀️! And what's up with the music choices? Proud Mary is a CLASSIC, why mess with perfection?! 🙄 Meanwhile Ring My Bell was literally forgettable... George Clarke needs to get his act together, stat! 👗🕺 On the bright side, Katya's outfit was 🔥 and Karen's VT was so inspiring, love that girl 💖. And can we talk about Nikita's outfit, WHO WORE A RUFFLED LOBSTER OUTFIT?! 🦒😂 anyway I'm all for Lewis and Karen facing off in the Instant Dance challenge, let's see who comes out on top! 💪🏽💃
 
lol what a mess! i mean, some of those outfits tho... nikita's lobster thing is still giving me nightmares 😂 and george's prince getup was straight up confused me - either go full on or dont @ claudia for wiping her nose all over her sleeve tho lol that was savage 😂 anyway, lewis and katya slaying the rumba game 👏 cant wait to see what happens next in this instant dance challenge
 
OMG, I'm so glad SCD is back! 🤩 I mean, what can you expect when you have talented dancers like Lewis and Katya on the show? Lewis's rumba was 🔥 hot, and his insta-jive was totally on point! 😎 But, honestly, Alex Kingston's cha-cha was a bit of a mess... maybe stick to acting, girl? 🤣 I'm loving the music choices this week, though - Proud Mary for Lewis's dance was genius! 🎶 On another note, Nikita's outfit was, um, interesting... I think she meant to go for quirky but ended up with lobster- chic 😂. Anyway, can't wait for the Instant Dance challenge next week - it's gonna be a close one between Lewis and Karen! 💪
 
omg 🤯 i loved lewis cope's rumba! 💃🕺 that music choice was perfect, Proud Mary is such an iconic song 😍 and katya's dress was everything 👗 i also felt bad for alex kingston's cha-cha, her routine was so awkward 😳 but anyway, who wants to watch michael mcintyre's wheel or who wants to be a millionaire? 🤔 can't decide which one tonight 📺

btw, did u see karen carney's VT about her mom? ❤️ that girl is so talented and strong 💪
 
man i'm tellin u they're fixin to throw a wrench in our watchin routine 🤖♂️ think about it, who needs Saturday night movies when you got these dance shows takin up all the good time slots? and don't even get me started on this instant dance challenge - gotta ask, why's lewis cope facin off against karen carney AGAIN? seems like they're tryin to stir up some drama 🤔.
 
omg, i'm so glad lewis cope won best dance 🤩 he totally deserved it his rumba was insane and that music choice for proud mary was fire 🔥 i mean, who else can pull off a cha-cha like alex kingston's 😂 anyway, gotta say, i loved katya's outfit in her rumba 💃 and karen carney's tribute vid was so inspiring 🙌 can't wait to see what happens in the next challenge 🤔
 
omg u gotta love lewis cope's rumba 1st dance move lol it was like he was dancing on air 🤩 his insta-jive at the end tho? fire 💥 i'm not surprised alex kingston got last place tho her cha-cha just didn't pop idk what went wrong with george clarkes music choice but that prinde music was a bit weird 🙅‍♂️ katya's outfit tho was everything 🔥 love how karen carneys vt about overcoming online abuse got so much love 💖 and btw lewis cope and karen carney are gonna go head-to-head in the instant dance challenge can't wait to see it! 😃
 
OMG I just saw that SCD episode 😂 Alex Kingston's cha-cha was so bad it made me LOL but at the same time I feel bad for her 🤣 she's got to bounce back from this 💃 I love how Lewis Cope slayed the rumba tho 🎉 and what's up with Nikita's outfit 🙄 who thought lobster was a good idea? 😂
 
I'm kinda stoked that Lewis Cope took home the best dance award 🎉, but I gotta say, his rumba was pretty standard – I mean, Proud Mary is a classic, but it's been done before 😐. Alex Kingston's cha-cha, on the other hand, did seem a bit awkward 💃. At least she's still in the competition? 🤔 As for best music choice, Dave Arch really outdid himself with that rumba track – it was infectious! But George Clarke's Prince choice just didn't land 😐. And honestly, I'm loving Katya's outfits this season – that ruffled lobster thing though? 👀 Not so much. The judges' comments had me chuckling, especially Anton's quip about George 🤣. But overall, it was a solid show ⭐️. Bring on the Instant Dance challenge! 🔥
 
OMG what's up with Alex Kingston's cha-cha 😂 she totally deserved to be at the bottom of that leaderboard! I mean, I love her but that dance was like a train wreck you couldn't look away from 🤣. And poor Nikita, who thought that ruffled lobster outfit was gonna slay? Girl, no 👗. But for real, Karen Carney's VT was so emotional and inspiring, it gave me all the feels 💖. Can we get more moments like that, less of those cheesy outfits? 😂
 
I'm telling you, Alex Kingston's cha-cha was super not great 🤦‍♀️. I mean, I've seen better moves in a nursery school talent show. And don't even get me started on Nikita's lobster outfit - who thought that was a good idea? 😂 It looked like she raided her grandma's closet and put together the most hideous outfit ever. But seriously, Lewis Cope's rumba was fire 🔥, and Dave Arch's music choice for it was spot on. The judges were right to give him the best dance award. And can we talk about Karen Carney's VT - that was so emotional 🤯. I'm rooting for her to win that Instant Dance challenge against Lewis Cope. He might have won this week, but I think she's got what it takes to take down the champ 💪.
 
I'm lovin' how SCD keeps it real this season! Those judges are bringin' the laughs, especially Anton 🤣. But let's be real, some of these outfits were straight outta a bad cosplay event... Nikita's lobster getup, what was she thinkin'? 😂 And I gotta give props to Dave Arch for choosin' Proud Mary, it's a classic! 💃🏻 As for the worst music choice, Ring My Bell just didn't vibe with George's routine. It's like they said, sometimes less is more, right? 🎵
 
omg I'm so invested in this competition! 🤩 I loved Lewis's rumba insta-jive - that music choice was perfect and Katya's dress for her number looked stunning 💃🏻. And can we talk about Karen's VT, it got me teary-eyed 🎤. The judges' comments were hilarious too, especially Anton's quip about George's tuxedo-clad lookalike 😂. But sorry Alex, that cha-cha was a bit of a mess 💔. Nikita's outfit tho... what was she thinking? 👗😂
 
I'm loving the drama this season of Strictly is bringing 🤣! I mean, who knew Lewis's rumba would bring so much heat 🔥? But seriously, Alex Kingston's cha-cha did seem a bit rough around the edges 💁‍♀️. And what was up with George Clarke's Prince outfit 👑 - it looked like he raided David Bowie's closet and found something that didn't quite fit 😂. On the other hand, Katya's rumba dress was absolute perfection 💃, and Karen Carney's VT about overcoming online abuse gave me all the feels 🙏. This season is definitely bringing the sass and sparkle 💖!
 
omg that Alex Kingston's cha-cha was SO bad 🤣 her hips couldn't even match the music lol 😂 i think it's a good thing judges panned it so she knows what to work on next 🙏 maybe give her some tips from Lewis Cope, he totally slayed that rumba 💃🕺
