Strictly Come Dancing Season 19 Episode 7

It's Week 7 of Strictly Come Dancing Season 19, and the glitter cannons are working overtime! Last night was a rollercoaster of sequins, shaky knees, and surprisingly impressive lifts.
Who Dazzled and Who Fizzled?
Let's dive right in! Rose Ayling-Ellis continues to be a force of nature. Her Argentine Tango with Giovanni Pernice was FIRE. They are a joy to watch!
AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington definitely brought the heat with their Charleston. They've been consistent all season, but this week really solidified them as contenders.
Must Read
However, not everyone had a smooth ride. Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova's Viennese Waltz had a few stumbles, and the judges weren't exactly throwing roses at them. It's all about improvement, right?
The Unexpected Moments
The most unexpected moment? Maybe it was Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin's Samba. It was fun, it was energetic, but it wasn't quite the showstopper they needed.

Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu tried their hand at the Quickstep, they brought the energy and a whole lot of smiles. He may be one of our favorites, for the smiles alone.
And speaking of surprises, did anyone else notice how emotional Anton Du Beke got when Craig Revel Horwood was giving Tilly feedback? The bromance is real!
The Dance-Off Drama
This week's dance-off saw Sara Davies and Aljaž Škorjanec face off against Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin. Both couples danced their socks off.

It was a tough call. The judges were split, but ultimately, Sara Davies and Aljaž Škorjanec were sent home. It's always sad to see someone go, especially when they've clearly put their heart and soul into it.
The Fun Factor
Let's not forget, Strictly is about more than just perfect footwork. It's about the joy of dance and the personalities of the contestants.

Judi Love unfortunately had to withdraw from the show after testing positive for Covid-19. Judi and Graziano are a vibrant pairing, and we hope to see them back in the ballroom soon!
This week, Craig Revel Horwood's critique of Dan Walker's waltz was hilarious. He delivered his comments with a deadpan face, and the audience erupted in laughter.
What to Expect Next Week
As we head into Week 8, the competition is really heating up. The remaining couples will need to bring their A-game to impress the judges and the viewers at home.

Expect even more dazzling costumes, more challenging routines, and maybe even a few more tears. Who will rise to the top, and who will be next to leave the ballroom floor?
One thing's for sure: Strictly Come Dancing continues to deliver the entertainment, glitter and glam, making our Saturday nights sparkle!
And remember, keep dancing!
