Strictly Come Dancing Season 19 Episode 9

Week 9! And Suddenly, the Pressure's On!

Alright, folks, grab your glitter and settle in! Week 9 of Strictly Come Dancing Season 19 was a rollercoaster, wasn't it? The glitter cannons were firing, the nerves were jangling, and suddenly everyone realized the final is so close!

It's that point in the competition where friendships are tested and sequins become weapons. Just kidding... mostly.

Rose and Giovanni: Still Perfect?

Let's talk about Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice. Seriously, these two are just magical to watch. Their Argentine Tango was fiery, passionate, and oozed all the right drama.

Did they nail every step? Maybe not perfectly, but who cares when they bring that much emotion to the dance floor? Plus, Giovanni's face during the judges' comments? Priceless!

John and Johannes: Samba Struggles!

Oh dear, the samba claimed another victim! John Whaite and Johannes Radebe gave it their all, but the tricky steps just weren't working for them.

They even had giant inflatable bananas involved! Bananas! Sometimes, no amount of tropical fruit can save you from a wobbly samba. But hey, at least they looked like they were having fun trying.

AJ and Kai: Taking Risks

AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington have been consistently brilliant, but they decided to throw a Salsa into the mix this week. Talk about a risk!

The lifts were insane, the energy was through the roof, and they actually pulled it off! It was high-octane fun, and proved they aren't afraid to push boundaries.

Rhys and Nancy: The Comeback Kids

Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu had a point to prove after landing in the dance-off last week. They delivered a lovely Waltz and came out swinging.

That Waltz was elegant and full of grace. It was the best way to show the judges that he could perform and it was truly one of Rhys' best dances in the competition.

Dan and Nadiya: A Surprise Package?

Ah, Dan Walker. The man who defies all dancing logic. He brings a certain something to the show. The energy is there but the dance is not.

He might not have the fancy footwork of the others, but he's having the time of his life, and the public clearly loves him. Never underestimate the power of enthusiasm!

The dreaded Dance-Off

This week it was Rhys and Nancy against Tilly and Nikita! Both couples danced to their hearts' content.
