So strong and powerful, its nice to see a slight improvement in different things every week from Sam, this week definitely seemed like her confidence was alot higher, so enjoyable. 7/10
Hey, that was good! Sam is back! The beginning was a little iffy, but it got so much better as it continued. I say it's a good amateur Paso. It gives me similar vibes to Saffron Barker's Hunger Games Paso.
Definitely a throwback. (Will always find it amusing that Lara was played by Angelina Jolie in the OG) Super fierce! Thanks to the costume department for making them the hottest couple of the night!
Interestingly Sam has been undermarked the first two weeks tonight I thought she was a little overmarked I feel at times she walked the style instead of danced it I thought her Charleston last week was more worth a 30 than this dance. Still a very nice routine so I won’t complain because the judges did undermark the first two weeks.
Score - *7* I was only gonna say a 6 on my first watch but it did look better on a second watch however she was still overmarked. It started really well and her work in hold was quite nice apart from the bits she looked like she was walking. Sam really exaggerated her shaping for me which is good but it just looked a little bit awkward and messy at times, I feel like it looked unfinished and lacked connection. I want Sam to be a front runner cause she definitely can dance, I did prefer her Charleston if I'm really honest. I probably spent too much time watching Nikita in fairness, he is absolutely stunning 🤤
SO AWESOME! Great so much is going on for tomb raider this year!!! Tomb Raider 1-3 remastered, Tomb Raider crossovers, tomb raider store open, physical copies of lara croft collection released, award show (bafta) and now this!!! Keep bringing on more Lara!!!
Clever choreography by Nikita by packing the routine with mostly figures in closed position so Sam never has to perform any Spanish arm lines and Nikita can lead her shaping throughout thus avoiding the two most common criticisms of this dance style by the judges.
Next is Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin dancing the Paso Doble to Tomb Raider. This dance was to slow for a Paso Doble, it was very strutty in the leg department, not enough energy for the dance and a little wooden, the music and I think the lights were bigger and faster than the dance and because of this the dance couldn't keep up, I do like the style of this dance and the way Sam performed Laura Croft.
i loved this dance, but Sam's outfit was weird to me. Not the shorts, or the haltertop, loved those and IMO it's something that Lara Croft could wear, but the two flaps of fabric? They just look terribly strange... I think the whole Lara Croft vibe would've worked better if they'd picked the Opera dress outfit from the games.
It was a weird watch, even on a rewatch for me. She technically gets most of the moves down, but in an incredibly stiff way.😆 On a side note though, she needs to dress up like Lara Croft every week.😍
That was such a let down for me :( I love paso and U2, so it was a match made in heaven. Sam and Nikita were not bad per se, but special effects were overwhelming, distracting from the dance and in many instances obscuring the dancers' movements
to correct the bbc, tomb raider wasn't the first female lead character in a main stream video game, it was Samus Aran (1986).... and the first playable female was Billie Sue (1982).....lara croft didn't appear until 1996....
Just to correct this, Tomb Raider was the very first female lead video game to be considered a success selling 7 to 8 million copies while metroid had only sold 2 million Tomb Raider opened the door for female lead games that metroid couldnt do because nintendo literally neglated the franchise due to poor sales (and proving women cant sell games up until tomb raider came along and broke down that glass ceiling) Fun fact Tomb Raider is also the most successful female lead video game franchise selling 95 million copies worldwide. Lara Croft has appeared on more magazine covers than any video game character ever. Lara Croft has been recongized as the most recongizable female video game character of all time by Guineess world records, IGN, and BAFTA Tomb Raider is currently the ONLY female lead video game franchise to surpass 50 million units sold and is soon going to become the ONLY female lead video game franchise to surpass 100 million Tomb raider the film held the record for 10 years (2001 to 2011) of highest grossing action movie ever to star a woman Tomb Raider is the video game series to hold the record the longest of best selling video game franchise with a female lead (November 5th 1997 to Present) Tomb Raider is the first female lead video game to have roller coasters appear around the world and like its not comparable its really cute for those of you who remember samus but she didnt have anywhere close to as massive of a cultural impact as lara croft did for female leads in gaming Make sure you support samus! Her series is only at 23 million units sold, still struggling even though its older than tomb raider XD lmaooo Tomb Raider is the single most important female lead franchise to exist, she has the sales, reviews, and the cultural impact to back it up. facts have never cared about how you feel! Heance, why Lara Croft is ALWAYS gonna be the OG queen of gaming while metroid is just a flop that can never see the pop culture success tomb raider got! Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is out now btw
Our scores: Me: 7 Diya: 8 Kelsey: 7 Owen: 7 29/40 This was a dance of two halves. Above the waist there was good shaping, she was focused, overall good. But her legs were too straight, so instead of getting that stalking action we love to see, she was essentially walking around. Unfortunately that let this otherwise solid performance down. But, I think she’s a dark horse in the competition and I hope they get far.

Is the Paso Doble becoming Nikita's forte? This was good!
This was EVERYTHING OMG

Great theme and tune - Nice dance Sam and Nikita 😊👍
So strong and powerful, its nice to see a slight improvement in different things every week from Sam, this week definitely seemed like her confidence was alot higher, so enjoyable. 7/10
Yeah she's growing in confidence 👌👏.
Sam and Nikita are both sooo hot 🔥 they looked pure fire tonight! I like how Sam is improving with her character and intention every week.
Hey, that was good! Sam is back! The beginning was a little iffy, but it got so much better as it continued. I say it's a good amateur Paso. It gives me similar vibes to Saffron Barker's Hunger Games Paso.
Brilliant performance from Sam and nikita! ❤❤

Definitely a throwback. (Will always find it amusing that Lara was played by Angelina Jolie in the OG) Super fierce! Thanks to the costume department for making them the hottest couple of the night!

Well done Sam

I wanted to see a matrix clinch and they slow down , it was so good 😊
Is it just me or does Sam looks wise looks a lot like Katya?!
WOW! I absolutely love this imo. At 0:59 sam almost slipped btw.
i think i may be a teensy bit in love with sam quek
🎉❤❤❤
Well danced with lots of feeling. Not sure about the song choice for this Paso.
Next is Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin dancing the Paso Doble to Tomb Raider.

U2!!!!!
Where is Jesse Smith this year? He did so well with these rock songs last year as a member of the house band?
I liked last week's Charleston but didn't like whatever it was this evening, it was some ok bits followed by lots of stompy marching.
Really impressive me
They look like they are in that movie called The Croods
Can you do 'Stick Reacts To The Croods Movie For Brick'
i loved this dance, but Sam's outfit was weird to me. Not the shorts, or the haltertop, loved those and IMO it's something that Lara Croft could wear, but the two flaps of fabric?

Tomb Raider Chronicles refrence would've been great paired with the movie song
It was a weird watch, even on a rewatch for me.
She technically gets most of the moves down, but in an incredibly stiff way.😆
On a side note though, she needs to dress up like Lara Croft every week.😍
it's good, but the song choice is an odd choice for a paso doble
That was such a let down for me :( I love paso and U2, so it was a match made in heaven. Sam and Nikita were not bad per se, but special effects were overwhelming, distracting from the dance and in many instances obscuring the dancers' movements
