As a long-time devotee of dance and Strictly Come Dancing, I must admit that last night’s show was nothing short of spectacular! The Icons Week brought out some truly memorable performances from the contestants, each one more captivating than the last.
Last night’s (Saturday, 2nd November) Strictly Come Dancing’s inaugural Icons Week was packed with impressive scores, grand lifts, stunning costumes, and, indeed, a few mishaps by Pete Wicks.
As we approach the decisive phase of Strictly Come Dancing 2024, the list of contestants is gradually shrinking each week, with the ultimate goal – the Glitterball Trophy – firmly in sight.
On Saturday evening, it was JB Gill and Tasha Ghouri who truly shone with their remarkable Couple’s Choice performances. Their routines were so impressive that they both received a nearly perfect score of 39 points apiece, placing them at the top of the Strictly leaderboard alongside each other.
On the opposite side, Pete ended up struggling with only 22 points following his impressive portrayal of Freddie Mercury and enchanting judges with his performance, yet tripping up on several steps during his rendition of Salsa to “Another One Bites the Dust.
As we approach tonight’s result show, Pete’s chances seemed slim. He humorously acknowledged over the weekend that the title of his song could turn out to be rather ironic. However, it wasn’t just him who appeared at risk of the dance-off; others were in a similar predicament too.
Sam Quek and Chris McCausland ended up tied for the second-to-last position with 29 points each, forcing them to count on their supporters to call in and cast votes to keep them from elimination.
But there was a bit of a surprise in store when it came to the results.
During Icons Week, Gladiator Montell Douglas and her partner Johannes Radebe danced a captivating Waltz to “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston, earning them 35 points. Remarkably, they found themselves competing in the dance-off against Sam and her partner Nikita Kuzmin. This just goes to show how beloved Pete is among fans!
Sam and Nikita danced the American Smooth for a second time, while Montell and Johannes returned to the dance floor to perform the Waltz once more.
In the moment when the judges had to decide which couple to keep, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton du Beke collectively chose Montell and Johannes. As a result, Sam and Nikita faced elimination from the competition.
As a devoted admirer, I’d rephrase that statement like this: “Indeed, just like a dedicated fan, I wholeheartedly concur with Head Judge Shirley Ballas. If I were in her shoes, I’d have cast my vote the same way as the other esteemed judges.
Responding to Tess Daly’s question about her experience on the show, Sam expressed her disappointment but also gratitude. She shared that she gained a lot of knowledge and Strictly helped reignite her energy. Overall, it was a delightful journey for her.
Nikita, it’s you who’ve been instrumental in bringing out the hidden Sam within me that had taken a brief hiatus for about a year or two. I can’t help but feel regretful, as I believe there’s still so much more of myself to share.” She continued with this sentiment.
Professional dancer Nikita expressed admiration saying, “I’m absolutely amazed by her! People often say that it’s more about the process than the end result, but for me, it’s about who you share that journey with. Sam, you’ve been the most delightful companion I could have asked for.
Sam went on to say: “I find myself questioning, ‘What’s their secret bond as a famous figure and a dance partner?’
“In simple terms, the moments you share together and the qualities that emerge between you are truly special – and to put it less formally, they create a kind of enchantment.
