This gave me the fear everytime they did it. In the dance off I thought he was going to drop her.

He really looked like he was struggling, didn't he? This lift should look effortless and pretty, not like somebody is trying to snap your neck and you're desperate to fling them off.

I also had a thought that it was a bit too pretty for the grittiness of Les Mis. I'm sure at the point Eponine sings this song, she is dressed as a boy and fighting in the revolution. Why didn't they make more of that?

I agree. I also found it weird that they did a couples dance to a song titled “On my own” and about unrequited love. It certainly did not feel like there was any sense of that in the dance.

The song choice was bad for a partner dance for exactly this reason, imo! It's a solo number, and the acting requires Amy to portray unrequited love and Tom to be the oblivious object of her affection. It's a much harder concept to portray that eg Kai and AJ's waltz in which you could basically pinpoint the scene they were supposed to be in and the part of the story they were acting out, or even Tilly's Couple's Choice in which the concept was 'we are revolting children and here to cause chaos together'.

I agree. And praise be to the strictly powers for stitching Tom up with a rubbish theme 🤣 I only watched in the dance off, skipped him in the main show, but thought it was a very odd choice of dance/theme. Surely more about Amy than him??
 
His chin appears to have grown a good few inches over night. Maybe it was stretched with the weight of Amy hanging off him. I wonder if here he is reliving the moment when he found out that he isn’t as popular as he thought. Or maybe he has watched his dance back and realised He looked constipated throughout.

it was a stupid song choice. Do the couples get to choose or do the producers/judges tell them exactly what to dance to?
