It isn't something I usually comment on but

Leslie Joseph is 71 in two weeks time!!!!!!!

It would appear that results are being leaked on the internet. The results show is recorded soon after the live Saturday show. But if you go looking for the result, you are just ruining the Sunday show for yourself. There must be hundreds of people involved in the results show, any one of which could let the result slip out.

This is an unpredictable series, voting certainly not on dancing ability, but I guess that's not new. Pleased Claudia F is still there. Found it hard to believe Ore was in the bottom two, pleased he prevailed. Ed? Hmm, still find him hard to like but his dance ability has improved. Think it's time for him to go, not sure if he will.

POGS Best not if your a fan of Ed, it's pretty scathing. Commenters in the DM don't hold back.

Oh blimey I must have skipped over reading that .

I will look for it .

Cheers.

This week and last week were both in the Daily Mail ( comments on Ed Balls)
And no, I make no apologies for reading the DM.

I can honestly say I have not seen or heard of any 'leaks' naming who will be voted off.

Does it happen after the Saturday night show?

So Ed is going to go Gangnam Style next week. I wonder if he will be better than Keith Vaz.

Obviously it's not about the dancing .....

Jalima Sun 06-Nov-16 19:32:52

shock not sock!!

Sock it to them, Ore

Jalima Sun 06-Nov-16 19:31:50

You Are JOKING
Ore in the dance off??
[sock]

I knew I should have phoned .....

I gave Daisy two of my votes too anno, she's growing on me.
I think Karen Hardy would be great as a judge, much better than Anton. He's too busy trying to be funny.
I wish the male dancers would stop dying their hair that awful dark colour, well, Kevin and Anton, not sure about the others hmm
Got my grumpy head on now grin

Ana Sun 06-Nov-16 18:46:47

You'll have to stop listening to/reading the source you're getting it from petra! I haven't a clue and wouldn't want one, spoils it for everyone.

petra Sun 06-Nov-16 18:34:15

I do wish the BBC would find out who is leaking who is being voted off. This is the 3rd week now that I have known.

Charleygirl Sun 06-Nov-16 17:52:30

I saw on line that Bruno is hinting that he may not return for the next series. Karen Hardy is one name that is being mentioned for taking Len's place. Karen or Anton would be excellent- both are fair and also good dancers.

cornergran Sun 06-Nov-16 17:49:06

Enjoyed this week much more than last week. I never thought I would say this but I enjoyed Ed's dance this week. I'm struggling to think who will be in the dance off. I worried for Claudia, not her best week and she is in the difficult middle place on the board, I hope not her. Daisy maybe as she doesn't seem to be popular, possibly Ed ironically because he has improved, I truly don't know. Looking forward to finding out.

NotTooOld Sun 06-Nov-16 17:17:27

I do wish Craig would not keep making rude remarks about Rinder's facial expressions as I don't think he can help it. Craig's own facial expressions are more worthy of comment.

Who do you think will take Len's place as head judge? Anton du Beke was mentioned early as a contender but now his partner is expecting twins he may be too busy!

annodomini Sun 06-Nov-16 12:13:44

I can't understand the unpopularity of Daisy. I loved their Viennese waltz to 'Daisy, Daisy' - elegant and witty at the same time. I gave her two of my on-line votes.

TerriBull Sun 06-Nov-16 11:46:20

Louise was sensational. I've been lucky enough to go to Buenos Aires and have seen the Argentine Tango danced by Argentinians who take it very seriously, it's a very precise dance. I've revised my final 3 after her performance, Ore, Danny and now Louise, not Daisy as I thought last week. Ed has certainly improved thought he turned in a very good performance yesterday, I'm wondering who will go now

POGS Sun 06-Nov-16 11:42:55

It was definitely Ed Balls best dance and I wished him well from the start but if it is a vote purely on dancing ability then Ed Balls and Laura Whitmore are my choice for the 'dance off'.

I think Louise Redknapp is brilliant.

Anniebach Sun 06-Nov-16 11:37:02

Ed has improved week by week , others were perfect from week one , I hope Ed stays so we can see more improvement

Badenkate Sun 06-Nov-16 11:19:55

I think that Ed and Judge Rinder are really what Strictly is about. They have both worked so hard at something which Ed in particular obviously have not found easy and improved so much that they both deserve to go on rather than some others who clearly were already fairly competent dancers before they started.

Anya Sun 06-Nov-16 11:18:08

There are some very strong male contestents this year. Even the ones like Judge Rinder and Ed Balls, who were added for pure entertainment are actually worth watching.

Thinking Laura in dance off possibly?

notoveryet Sun 06-Nov-16 11:10:42

I do enjoy a quickstep, not so keen on the Latin dances.I thought Ed did very well and it has been great to watch a rather older non dancer learn. Somehow I don't think he'll be leaving tonight, hope not anyway.

DanniRae Sun 06-Nov-16 11:03:40

Me too Jane10 - if I had to guess I think it will be a dance off between Greg and Daisy. Neither deserve to go but they are all so good now and if not that good then they are cute - yes I'm talking about you ED!!

Jane10 Sun 06-Nov-16 10:41:06

I enjoy Ed and Judge's dances so much due, I suspect, to their transparent enthusiasm and sheer joy in the dancing. A breath of fresh, uncool, air!

Charleygirl Sun 06-Nov-16 10:34:34

I agree with you Jane10 I think that the girl who has been in the dance off at least twice (I have forgotten her name) may well be there again tonight, mainly because she is not popular.

I have my hard hat on, I voted for Ed. He worked so hard for a previous non dancer and he is not in his first flush of youth. His wife Yvette Cooper was almost crying with laughter.
