When I heard that he was doing a Samba, i thought he would be eliminated, but i think that he did AMAZING!

[xxisabel]

I feel like Jamie has inproved so much. Lovely choice of music and very cool outfits. Jamie has a beautiful smile and when he dances I can’t take my eyes off of him. I could see that he was trying his best and is having a great time! 💕

[SiasCreations]

I was dreading Jamie's Samba but he did so well, it was his best dance! I also just love this pair in their bytes before and after the dance, they're a riot and very likeable, they make me laugh and are entertaining. Hope we see more of them!

[bettieboo]

THIS WAS AMAZING!! Really couldn’t take my eyes off them, didn’t feel awkward like I thought it might. He really has improved.... The sort of dance that would have really benefited from a proper, full audience.

[georgiastrange]

this is honestly one of my favourite samba choreographies i’ve seen on strictly, karen did so well emphasising the fun element of it and therefore showing off jamie’s strengths!!!

[HeartCoils]

I LOVED this, Jamie has so much energy and this routine brought such a smile to my face, we were laughing and grinning from ear to ear! Also they look like twins in those outfits, I was struggling at points to tell who was who 😂

[quietfi]

The level of improvement in Jamie's dancing is amazing!! The beginning of the dance is just beautiful - did not expect this from Jamie at all. Can't stop re-watching.

[rossmh]

Where am i? What world have i been transported to? I can safely say i never thought i would see Jamie excel at a latin dance let alone a samba but this was genuinely one of the best sambas I’ve seen. Shows the clear testament to karen as a teacher she somehow manages to instil such a fun love for dance into her partners which makes them naturally improve and after the fight jamie has had to be on strictly, I’m glad he is having the time of his life. At this point the sky is the limit for where this pairing could go. I’m just hoping the saying of what goes up must come down isn’t going to apply to them, time will tell. 8/10

[sophiek]

I’m so proud of Jamie, I could CRY. The Samba is notoriously difficult, but it was no match for Jamie and Karen. Also, the fact that he was an amateur of dancing before the show, makes his success all the more commendable. I really want him to win, he at the LEAST deserves to make it to the Final. 🥺♥️

[kellyem]

What I adore about this man is that he isn't afraid to be silly. Lovely performance.

[anorbert]

I love Karen! She is an amazing dancer and choreographer. 🥰

[rjlondon]

I always find Jamie hilarious in everything he does, but I love that hes actually loving every minute of it. I certainly would and I think we can all relate 💃 Big up Karen as well she always lifts her partners up, shes like the tomboy that fits in with all the guy groups 🥰

[alexajones]

It looks like Jamie’s dancing with a mirror lol can’t tell the difference from the side or behind at times 🤣

[Grahamgusbull]

My favourite couple, bursting with fun and joy. I voted for Jamie on the first week because I felt sorry for him, expecting him to go first after waiting a year for his he gets my votes because he’s bloody marvellous!

[sandraallen]

That was brilliant, I’m really starting to like this guy

[danielthestrictlysuperfan]

GREAT sense of rhythm, wonderful synchronization between Jamie and Karen, very, very nice footwork, lot's of proper samba content... it was another routine that put a big smile on my face. Samba is a very tough dance. For the most part, it was truly FANTASTIC! His whisk for example, was probable the best whisk I've see in terms of leg action. Unfortunately, it was lacking hip action during the voltas, and his batucadas as well as his stationary samba walk, but other than that is was lovely and amazing! I absolutely LOVED his bota-fogos for example... He can be proud of himself because he has done really, really great!
My score: a 7.

[TheRock-dpvh]

Jamie has charm and swagger. Hope he makes the final

[whimsicallymad]

Jaime is just so pure. He has this kid-like joy, you can tell he loves trying out new things and doing his best and just having fun.

[bethanypryor]

I thought that Jamie would struggle but he did so well to get an 8 from Craig and Shirley. But he did especially well to get a 9. His best dance is far.

[bessieburnet]

Oh my God! I stand all the corrected! Look at his best dance!! He's improved so much!! This was really fun!!! I'm proud of him!
