I don't know why the fact he just drops her hand and starts spinning frantically makes me laugh so much😂

[charlottebryant]

I think what some people are forgetting is that Laura is still recovering from her ankle. Giovanni simply made sure she didn't do anything that could make it worse for her yet still showed off her amazing technique. I praise them both for what they put together💃🏼💫

[malaikamorena]

Giovanni killed it with the batucada lol ... he really made the dance about him!

[Lavalamp]

He is such a legend. Awesome work Giovanni.

[Will-hh]

This is why Giovanni is no longer allowed to have a shot of limoncello before his routine. He gets too carried away.

[cherylq]

No love lost between these two, hence why Gio's spinning off to the other end of the dancefloor leaving Laura where she was is bloody hilarious.

[anguscastle]

Wow, Gio really made it about himself here

[douglasholt]

They was just amazing dancer I lv them

[rubiginosaa]

what's with Gio always getting Gypsy King songs for sambas lmao

[RM-rctf]

I am confused to what Gio was actually doing here, was he in a competition to show off himself?
Laura was good at the promenade runs and looked confident using her hips.

Gio can dance we know that. He is one of the best male Latin dancers to ever be on the show but he should try to keep the dances about his partner.

7.5

[mariakatrina]

Fuckin hell.. cant take my eyes off Giovani. What a dancer he is. Hes fuckin brilliant. Hence why hes the professional.

[saimasubedar]

Giovanni a Italian stallion truly dances like a Latin King 😘

[scdobserver]

Did she lose some timing? The music is appropriate, but the tempo is a little too quick for a novice to do a proper Samba (just like what happened with Claudia and AJ). But she did keep the bounce going, and the running promenade was beautifully danced. The last pose she did was a little unsteady though. 8.

[KimmyL]

Gio's Samba last year was Fantastic, obviously this wasn't a dance for Laura to attempt, therefore Gio took the limelight

[diegoarmando]

Биі мен іс-әрекеттері өте жақсы.
Бірақта музикасы биінен қарағанда сәл баяулау, сондықтан сәл баяу билегенде өте жақсы үйлесімді болар еді ау сірә да деп ойлаймын!

[GOSMGR]

If I was as good a dancer as Giovanni, I probably would show off as well. Whether it helps the celebrity is a moot point.Laura is a really good dancer but I think she was in danger of being overshadowed here. There were echoes of his Samba with Georgia last year in which Georgia did brilliantly to match him.

[upnow]

I would really like Giovanni and another professional to dance to this on Strictly as a showdance ... Just him with a partner of his calibre .. he is such a showman

[catcadette]

Reminds me a lot of his samba with Georgia from last year

[frankharker]

She gave a lot of energy and performance, but perhaps to overcompensate for her foot injury, Giovanni spent the last half of this making it all about himself. He looks very hot and charismatic, so that's nice, but the dance itself sort of fades.

[maggie]

This was not her dance. She seems more comfortable in Ballroom. Perhaps her ankle injury hindered her in what steps she could do, but Gio over compensated to "cover" her lack of Samba technique.
