Yeah. It gives me that flashback when Laura and Giovanni did that routine back in 2016, it didn't go as plan for them in week 7.

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! 💕

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!

Yes Jamie is hysterical...his one liners are just priceless!

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

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. 🥺♥️

He's in the FINAL!!!!! Pleased for him.

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.

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 😂

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!!!

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

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.

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

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 🥰

What a surprise! Karen is actually renowned for teaching samba very well and it shows here. Bounce action was great and it had great commitment. Yes technique on battucadas wasn’t great but the potential the couple have now is incredible 7.5

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 chance.....now he gets my votes because he’s bloody marvellous!

I think we all thought this was going to be awful but what a surprise! The rhythm and bounce were brilliant and those hip just didn't stop. It seems like the samba is Jamies' dance. 8

They're dancing a rumba/flamenco song (Spain) in a Mexican costume and set. Bravo BBC, you've done your research.

Even if he isn't the best, his improvement is great! His choreo and rhythm has improved every week and that's what I love. His energy as well was phenomenal 💙. 8

THIS WAS AMAZING!! It was so energetic and lively! My favourite dance of the whole season! I swear I love him to pieces 😍

Never thought I'd say it, but I'm really impressed with Jamie's dancing. Who knew....!!

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!

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.

Was a little bit expecting this routine to go horribly wrong, but Karen managed to pull this samba together with Jamie and they were such fun to watch aswell. I feel like the past two weeks he's gotten a little better, 8!

Absolutely perfect mirroring! Loved the whole thing, starting with the matching outfits/hair, the choreography, the perfect music - EVERYTHING. Just. JOY!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Look at the ticks going on! 👌👌👌Best thing is either could be the pro!

Not bad, not bad at all! Good on ya, Jamie! I loved how in sync they were, especially at the beginning, where not only were their legs moving at the same time, but their strides were the exact same length. (Around the :30 mark) That was cool. You don't see that often on this show.

Jamie really getting better week on week and I love the partnership he and Karen have.

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.

Jamie’s best dance yet. He is having so much fun and is a natural entertainer - he is also improving every week so that helps. Great job, Karen on the choreo. Loved it!

Jamie is so exuberant, I just love watching this couple dance 😃

Easily his best routine yet. His hip action still needs work, but he’s slowly improving each week and I’m excited to see that. (6)

So much fun! I loved it. Jamie's best dance so far

I’m not gunna lie - THAT WAS AMAZING!

This literally put the biggest smile on my face!!!!

I just love the song because it reminds me of hollidays and puts me in a great mood, and I am very happy that the dance didn't dissapoint me either. Hearing Jamie would do a Samba this week, I thought this is it for him, but no, I actually enjoyed it. Though I didn't see one single Samba Roll in there (correct me if I'm wrong xD)

Brilliant Samba Performance. Well Done Jamie and Karen. Enjoyed your performance so much :)

I thought he would struggle with this but I’m so surprised at how good he was! Wow!

Fantastic!! He's improved SO much!!!

Amazing. Really starting to fulfil his potential. Another great pairing and so entertaining. 9

Loved it and even more so because it was unexpected. Costumes, choreography and performance. Credit where it’s due 👏👏

I just loved this so much, he is just what we need right now!

Such a memorable routine and dance loved it!!

I love these 2 together!! At first I thought omg another joke couple but now they are flying high! Love them!

What a Samba this was. Loved it. Just getting better and better👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely brilliant. Wasn't sure about this series but so far it has been great. Jamie is a great character. Am sure he will get better too.

Brilliant effort Jamie! Samba is so difficult to master, fluidity, bounce and hip action all there. 9

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! So good!

Absolutely brilliant!

I bloody loved this!

Soooo good!

I love Jamie this is his best dance so far

Like his enthusiasm. He will have a real go. There is a good dancer and this proves he is pretty good.

I think Karen is showing Jamie the fun aspects of the Gypsy Kings and the Gibraltar/Andalusia vibe and Sam BA, Cher step aerobics in the early 90s. Also dancing at a typical Gibraltarian Cookie party full of fun dancing. She is also taking him to Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Hotel bodyguards, an RAF air traffic control tower, a dentist and a training facility at Gatwick and a Toby restaurant. What a fun dance! I remember Gio and Georgie doing a similar dance a few years ago.

Great stuff! This guy is working so hard!

That was brilliant!

Karen is absolutely gor-geous!

Made me smile at the end of a bad day...ty xx

He was so amazing to see them

This was actually really good. A ginormous improvement from last week's dance.

Favourite dance of the night

Latin sportdance Samba - dance inspired by Brazilian traditional dances, performed by a couple dressed as Mexicans, to a "Spanish" song with rumba gitana rhythm played by a French-gitano group. That's globalization.

That was fun to watch!

At first I honestly didn’t think much of him but who knew he would be this great and genuinely seems to be enjoying entertaining the public! Thanks guys! Well done Nicole - I mean Karen 🤪

I love these outfits!

Such a marked improvement with Jamie! You can tell how hard he has worked the past few weeks!

I think after last week he has definitely grown in confidence

at 1:03 I was transported back to last year when karen danced the samba with chris, they did that same move and it was hilarious then and it's hilarious now 😅😅

I don't know why but I was laughing throughout this entire routine from the shaking booty part until the end. This is his best dance for sure, could have been better in the technique department, and would have like to see a samba roll in the routine but that's just me. However, the bounce was visible throughout the entire routine and most of the execution was pretty solid for a Bamboleo-style Samba. It's a good week for Jaime. *8*

What a huge change in the last few weeka. I really did think be was going to be a disaster and so full of himself, he is so happy just to be there and has pushed so hard to learn 👌👌👌👌

I really liked this!!

A-maz-ing - well done Jamie and Karen. Credit where credit is due - you smashed it (even though I hate that saying).

Jamie smashed that 😁

His best yet (7) for me

Defo improving. I wonder how he has suddenly became this good as this was quite good. An 8.

Ace!!

Every time I hear Samba: I ask will it be a la Oti and Danny? Which obviously disappoints me. This samba was ok. He was on point, and mirroring Karen well.

Karen always give it her all her techniquie and her persinality this was quite a good pairing but sorry jamie Karen is the real celeb great to see again after doing some beginer and improver classes i can even recognise some steps

I would give it a 10

1:16 , the moment when karen forces him to stop! Hes having so much fun Thank me later if you came to see this happen

Go Jaime 💯

❤️❤️

Honestly, first time i didn't cringe while watching him ! I even enjoyed it !

Dancing to a Franco-Andaluz flamenco-style song that everyone knows including your gran, dressed as the Three Amigos, with images of Huitzilopochtli in the background. It’s as if someone at the production crew said: “Bah, it’s all Spanish, just slap it together! No-one will notice!!” Offense of the highest proportion, and an insult to the entire Hispanic world. But the dance itself was quite good, actually.

I don't know which one is the professional dance. They are great!

Wow, he has really improved

WHY DO I KNOW THIS SONG LIKE IM TO BUSY SINGING THE SONG WITHOUT REALISING HOW I EVEN KNOW THIS SONG

Well again this is a fantastic and a great alternative Samba instead of what you get on Strictly. In terms of his performance, the one thing I would say was the footwork was fantastic but it did lack in hip action. But the attempts at some tricky Samba moves was very good. 7!
