Vito is the most likable guy ever on Strictly. I have never seen him without a smile on his face and what a smile he has. Always so nice and kind to everybody, great sense od humor, phenomenal dancer and teacher. He is a whole package.
You beat me to it. I was just going to comment how kind and proud of his partners Vito is. Unlike one of his compatriots (now gone), Vito does not seem vain and is genuinely funny. A lovely person and excellent dancer.
Oh, I blooming love Sarah, so much! She embodies each dance! What technique! Her second best since the Paso! Vito really challenged her with that choreography. It's so nice to see her get recognition for her skills after she was so screwed over last week.
Sarah and Vito schooled that samba! What a joy to watch. Vito takes care of his partners and never looks bored or upset. All that happy energy creates fantastic dancing. No matter what the score, this was a samba masterclass. And Sarah! Wow, wow, wow!❤
Absolutely love seeing Sarah dance, I've been watching her on the tv for many years now. Vito, grazie mille per averci dato questa danza. Rafaella Carrà è la scelta perfetta! Tonight's dance was also incredible, you 2 are absolutely smashing it!
The dance was undermarked imo, the problems they had were minimal, so their marking should reflect that, scoring is wild this season, and I think the judges are undermarking contestants like Sarah and Punam so that the public vote for them. I still don’t agree with it like.
This was the most enjoyable dance of the night. I love Trilli and Vito. They should have their own show. Miranda Hart could write comic sketches and monologues for Sarah and Vito could give cookery lessons. Then they could just talk to each other and their guests over a nice cup of tea. When they speak together their energy is so uplifting that I end up smiling.
They need a podcast ASAP! My favourite couple this year, they have so much energy and pure intentions just orbiting them. They’re just so adorable and are a force to be reckoned with this series, not to mention, she is now the oldest contestant left!
She was effing FIERCE! Sarah's energy was off the charts and was dancing for the championships. Her spinning is also exceptional and boy does Vito know it - it will be in every routine at this rate. She coped with all that rotation, speed and intricacy like a professional where most high-performing female celebs would have definitely lost balance or timing in that routine. This was the only Samba this series so far that was performed at the tempo competing professionals would dance to and boy Sarah handled it well! Yes her weight could have been lowered and more forward and her arms could've been better placed in the first half of the routine but this deserved more marks.
Agree. A bit more floor pressure to send her weight forward would have given her more body action and greater contrast straight and bent knee. But I am totally nit picking that was so next level awesome!
It was the first samba this series that fully felt like an absolute party. It was so fast and so so so difficult. The fact that we have to nit pick to fault it imo should show that it should’ve gotten higher marks. I personally think she is destined to make the finals
In my opinion this was the best dance of the night sarah was undermarked The spins amazing I have picked the winner 3 years in a row I think Sarah will be in the final My favourite in the competition You could see the fantastic rhythm from week one
Wow love this Song DO IT DO IT AGAIN that was in the chart in 1978 and TOP OF THE POP twice sang by the FABULOUS Raffaella Carra' ...... and Sarah has the same Raffaella Carra' hair style ..LOVE IT is a lovely TRIBUTE to HER ;;;;;;;; .WELL DONE Sarah and Vito .GREAT dance xx
I remember when she got announced for strictly on Lorraine, and when asked about how she felt about dancing, she said she was unsure about how to be “sexy” and “sassy” on the dance floor, and now look at her, she’s already come so far, she just needs to perfect the technique and that could be a contender for the finals right here
This was brilliant , vito is an inspired choreographer, Sarah is an amazing dancer and she brings that comic element too which is really hard to find, it’s another dance for strictly history vaults ❤
legs to die for , some great hip action , probably best samba from an older contestant, the energy is infectious , its look a bit messy in places, but so much musicality and confidence. An 8.5 from me !
Score - *8* Wow Sarah was getting flung around here without a care in the world!! That was so so good, her spins as always were incredible and her flexibility is amazing, there was so much content here. Maybe too much content and it did get messy at times, her feet weren't turned out enough in certain places and her arms weren't transitioning elegantly but apart from that, she is the one on Tasha's heels for sure! 🤩
Our scores: Me: 9 Diya: 9 Kelsey: 8 Owen: 9 35/40 I really needed a good laugh, and thankfully these two never fail to put a smile on everyones faces. Craig said exactly what I was thinking, this is one of the campest things I’ve ever seen and I loved it. Sarah quite literally FLUNG herself into this, so much energy and SASS to die for. The leg actions could’ve been neater, but that’s really my only critique, I thought she was underscored again. For me, this was actually her best dance yet.
Next is Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola dancing the Samba. Ii felt that this dance got a little awaked, tense and Sharah's knees got a little wobbly however loved Sarah's go get energy in this dance, I disliked the song choice however the camp-ness in this dance was amazing, also love this pairing.
I think that the public voting is not the best way to choose the best dancer . I think keeping someone in because the public like them is not fair. The Judges should be the only Judges as they should be Professional dances and know what a good dancer is.
