What Chris is doing is, of course, beyond amazing. Just amazing. But you know what gets me probably the most about him and Dianne dancing together? I LOVE how gentle and appreciative he clearly is towards her. The way he took her hand and kissed it at the end actually made me emotional. Such a lovely man. And bloody funny as well. I just love this partnership.
One day, I'll watch these two without tearing up, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. How I wish he could see how fantastic he is on that floor. Brilliant.
I really hope they win 🥺 Diane is a HELL of a pro to be able to teach a blind man how to dance and Chris is a HELL of a man to be able to pull it off 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
As much as i am in awe of how bloody good this man is - props to an awesome teacher Dianne!!! No pity or comedy routines but lots of hard work and i hope as much laughter. Chris I hope you are getting a love for dancing as much as the challenge
I have seen many bad dancers on this show, all perfectly able bodied, and Chris shows them all up! He really has one of the best technique so far! Dianne really taught him so well.
She squeezed his hand four times to let him know ok I'm gonna fall now catch me It's lil thingsi /language signals like that they used to get through the dances
I recently had the experience of dealing with a family estate, it came as a surprise to learn from documents I found my mother had Bronze, Silver , and Gold Ballroom Dancing accreditation. I always knew my mother who was blind, loved to dance, my father not so much. Strictly Come Dancing Premiered after she passed, consequently she never had the pleasure of experiencing the popularity of the show. Watching Chris I am greatly aware that with a strong lead and influential partner, dancing is not only a visual experience but one to be demonstrated by awareness in emotional expression and exhilaration of dancing pleasure.
That was absolutely beautiful, the rise and fall and the timing were spot on, I’d be incredibly impressed with that from a beginner even without knowing he’s doing it in the dark. I can’t even make it to the loo and back at night with my eyes closed, how on earth is he catching someone and climbing up a bench??
This could very well be Dianne’s season. Is Chris a Hamza or a Jordan Fisher (DWTS 25 champion), absolutely not but does it matter? No. His story, what he’s able to do, his determination, and the trust he has in Dianne has the potential to be a winning combination! He’s also very likable and extremely funny. A partner like him succeeding plays to the strength of his pro’s ability and how strong and creative they are. And so far, Dianne is killing it! And this is what’s so beautiful about Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing With The Stars, you don’t have to be the best dancer to win. You just have to have the winning combination. I’m rooting for you Chris & Dianne from all the way in California! 👏😃 👏😎 👏😃
@zahra9813 I fully agree, their combination creates magic. Dianne with her special talent and social intelligence and Chris with moving self mockery and admirable commitment. Wishing them to stay for the long run and at least until her parents arrive.
Agree completely. I've never seen it as a dance competition - it's a learning-to-dance and a teaching-to-dance competition and Chris and Dianne are doing an astonishing job at those two things.
It was a good performance & a strong duo, I just hope, as a physically disabled person, that people don’t vote for Chris cos he’s blind! He doesn’t want sympathy, he wants to be Chris, and he always does it with wit, style & beautiful candour…just don’t pity vote, please!
@@disavowalf3351 Oh no, no pity votes! Well technically, I can’t vote but I know what you mean.😄 He has natural talent and that’s why people are behind him. I can’t imagine doing what he’s doing given his situation. Impressive!😎
I am completely gobsmacked by what this couple are bringing to the dancefloor! Dianne is obviously a world class teacher and Chris is so determined and impressive. He has the potential to be a real Ballroom boy and I can see them making it to Blackpool and beyond ❤
This could be Dianne’s year and I really hope it is! I didn’t really know what to expect from Chris, but he is incredible, not to mention hilarious as well! Go Chris!
Close you eyes and try and walk backwards, its unbelievably difficult to do. Dianne is such a good teacher and they have a very special bond, also he trusts her to vring the best out of himself.❤❤
score - *7* So impressive!!! the footwork was brilliant and it just seemed to flow all the way through, so so smooth and elegant. The timing is brilliant and body contact all really good. Okay the topline isn't strong but this was so detailed for week 2 not only for Chris but anybody doing a routine up to this standard, it was just brilliant. Always look forward to watching this couple, could it be Dianne's year 😌
I'm always curious when I see these comments - are you all professional dancers?😂 Genuine curiosity cause I enjoy the thought was people just watching strictly so much that you know all these critiques to give or you're just a dancer yourself
Chris is Incredible , Dianne is Incredible She can't show him how to do the moves so has to do things in a completely different way to what's she is used too
Chris is doing an amazing job and Dianne's talent is on full display, not only as a dancer but as a teacher to work with Chris to figure out how to teach a visual skill to someone who is blind. Absolutely incredible.
This actually brought tears to my eyes, Chris is an amazing human being, and Diane is unbelievably good at teaching him. He has stepped up again with this performance, and hopefully, he will go all the way in the competition, not through sympathy voting but the fact he has learnt to dance. ☺️☺️
@vallee3140 It is a storybook story. Dianne's dad is as emotional as Chris, I hope they can enjoy. No matter what, this partnership couldn't be more symbolic for the 20 years of Strictly . Incredible Chris and Dianne.👑👑
@@lindadriessen9027 Did you watch Joe Sugg's video last night? Dianne's Dad was deciding what to wear on Saturday, think there will be lots of tears. Cannot wait
Just HOW??? How does he do all of it? She obviously is an amazing teacher, as proven many times before, but he can't see any of her movements in practice! He's incredible! 🤩🕺🏼🎇🌠
I absolutely love this - one of my favourite dances from the show. Chris and Dianne continue to inspire us all, and I do hope they go far in the competition ❤
Chris was amazing he really is a nice person and real I really hope he will go far in the show and i hope that everyone will vote for chris every Saturday wish you all the best chris 🤞
Just how does she train him when he can’t see what she’s doing? She must have such patience and commitment. But, let’s not take it away from Chris either, he has worked so hard to improve the top line as well as getting the footwork right. Bravo to both of them.
Pretty amazing to even just be doing the fundamentals of the dance without any reference, let alone lifts, working with props etc. Chris looked really emotional after, bless him. He should be proud. I do feel a bit for him though, everyone else can watch the other performances and be part of what each other have done; they can congratulate, reassure, give advice and bond as part of that process. He only has the judges comments to go on and other people's descriptions and is a little left out of that loop.
Can someone please explain to me how he does that? Hes outstanding in whatever he does. Watch countdown, he does the numbers and letter completely in his head and 9 times out of 10 wins

SPOT ON! he is wonderful x

I cried during his dance last week, and again tonight, he is so inspiring, makes me very emotional.
Lets keep voting for him people.
I love their reaction when they get to the end of each dance. Wonderful chemistry - they will be friends for life.
Chris, the man you are.
Dianne, the woman you are.
Incredible.
Huge fan of Chris, one of the funniest comedians in the UK right now.
Didn't realise the bugger could also dance.
My youngest daughter loved him in a cbbc program called Me Too
I have seen many bad dancers on this show, all perfectly able bodied, and Chris shows them all up! He really has one of the best technique so far! Dianne really taught him so well.
I've not cried at a strictly dance for a long time.. just wow.
I am in utterly in awe of Chris's skill and Dianne's teaching ❤🥰❤️
Just what you need to cheer you up on a rubbish, rainy Monday morning. Thanks, Chris. xx
That ending with bench is impressive!
I love that he choreographed that himself!!
@dilinij12 Absolutely! Feeling confident and showing his partner-teacher his potential. They are a moving pair making magic 🤍✨️
And his idea and design!
@@dilinij12 makes it even better, shows how creative he is
She squeezed his hand four times to let him know ok I'm gonna fall now catch me
It's lil thingsi /language signals like that they used to get through the dances
This was a delight to watch!! Beautifully danced, Dianne's killing it on teaching Chris and Chris is thriving!! Love this couple!! 8.5/10
just a reminder for yall in case you forgot. HE IS BLIND. just wow
And he is improving every week, really hope he wins
And better than some of the other contestants!

Wishing for Chris and Dianne to be still in the show when Dianne's parents arrive in November 🙏🙏

@vallee3140 It is a storybook story. Dianne's dad is as emotional as Chris, I hope they can enjoy.

Incredible Chris and Dianne.👑👑

Cannot wait
@@vallee3140 Yes, I saw that footage. I wish the family much joy n
😊 Embracing blindness and opening eyes through dance, trust and the kind, emotional connection.
(And KitKat skits)
My winners and finalists ❤
Just HOW???
How does he do all of it? She obviously is an amazing teacher, as proven many times before, but he can't see any of her movements in practice! He's incredible! 🤩🕺🏼🎇🌠
Can’t believe he’s blind. This is so amazing I absolutely adore him. He’s up there for me absolute king 👑 dianne is an amazing teacher
Just bloomin amazin'!!You two are soooooo clever!!

Seriously incredible what Chris is doing. Dianne
..... You are a gem and an incredible Profesional and teacher
Absolutely amazing what he can do
Beautiful, beautiful ! 👏
Fantastic relationship between these two.. I suspect we are going to have a blind contestant in the final.. best wishes guys.
0:59 this was done 👍 fantastic!
Can we talk about the musicality, the body contact, and the fact that he kept it while actually traversing the floor?

Love this - in particular the super mid-tempo arrangement of the Tams classic by Dave Arch and his orchestra.
Can someone please explain to me how he does that? Hes outstanding in whatever he does. Watch countdown, he does the numbers and letter completely in his head and 9 times out of 10 wins
So impressive!!!

Great job Chris

Wow! 👏👏👏 Chris is doing incredibly under Diannes's tutelage....I totally forget that Chris is blind.
Same here
They give me the same vibe and astonishment as 🌹 and 🦎. In another league.
Inspirational on so many levels.
