Tasha Ghouri Faces Semi-Final Elimination Risk

Strictly Come Dancing fans are concerned about Tasha Ghouri's chances due to performing first in the semi-final, a position many believe could lead to elimination. Despite these concerns, Tasha's performance was praised by the judges, and her bold new look has drawn attention from viewers. Meanwhile, Pete Wicks continues to defy expectations by advancing to the semi-finals despite frequent low leaderboard positions, thanks largely to public support. Critics suggest the show has given him less challenging dances, but judge Shirley Ballas asserts that his energy and performance skills have won audience favor. Bookies predict Pete could be eliminated before the final, but some experts note his upcoming routines, the Argentine Tango and Foxtrot, have historically low elimination rates. This season highlights the influence of public votes and the emotional journeys of contestants like Pete, who have faced significant public scrutiny.
