Strictly

Feel for Daisy. I just don't find Ed entertaining in any way. Still rooting for Claudia.

Even though I know the result I still watch the results show just in case!

I just saw a spoiler for the F1, so i won't be watching that later, but ti was past my bed time.

It's not just you, Jane

Don't think we've had this in previous years, but never mind, it's not that much of a hardship to miss a few posts.

Am really am sorry. I promise not to accidentally reveal anything at all.

I agree Ana, don't want to risk any hints.

Yes, for some reason she never caught the public's imagination.

Don't think I'll be reading this thread next Saturday evening/Sunday, which is a shame, but too many people seem to actually want to know the result beforehand...

By bye Daisy - you are a lovely girl!!

and by no means the worst dancer

Strictly is a light entertainment programme and Ed is entertaining. Nothing to do with politics.

Is the Ed Balls supporters' club organised by Old Labour or Momentum?

Have also got contacts in Ladbrokes , they obv can't take bets on anyone whose been voted out...so up you always can tell.

Kleenex alert!
Basil and Madge, major teary moment! ?????

Sod it, my only bit of excitement of the week , please don't mention spoilers , they spoil viewing

Oh yes. Sorry I didn't think. Apologies. Posted without thinking

Please stop spoiling it for others. Jane, now we obviously know which three definitely haven't been voted out...

Yes Louise is fabulous. If Ed or Judge don't win I hope she does.
I've seen the spoiler so know who's out. Won't reveal here though.

I would have thought that any BBC employee that divulged the result would be risking their job. Our DIL is a director with the BBC, I would not dream of asking, as it would be unreasonable to ask her to break confidentiality.

I know the result! ( DiL works for the BBC) will still watch the show tonight.

Oh, I can't wait for the Strictly results show! I haven't a clue who will be in the dance-off - just hope it's not Ed.

I really hope Louise wins, I think she is a good dancer and seems so nice

I loved Ed's routine last night. We have never watched Strictly, other than when Ann Widdecombe was on, but have watched every episode of this series.

Ed had me laughing out loud last night,not much does that for me these days,obviously not a great dancer but great entertainment and I also think he should go to Blackpool .

Bluebelle I think that Ed may make it to Blackpool but I do not think that he should be allowed to stay any longer because as you say, he is stopping a decent dancer from going further. If we continue to vote for him, he could win and that really would be a travesty of justice.

i think Louise Rednapp will take some beating

Hope Ed goes otherwise someone with real dancing ability will have to leave

Same here, had no time for him when he was in the cabinet, too oily by half, but he does come across on Strictly as a decent human being with a good sense of humour! Just as well, given the routines he's had to perform
