It isn't something I usually comment on but

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

So who's for the chop tonight? I reckon that the previous non dancers -Ed and Judge are so popular that they'll be protected. Could be a dance off of two 'good' dancers. The judges will be furious!

My favourites are Claudia and AJ, I think they are amazing for such young people.........it would be lovely if an outsider won instead of one of the favourites smile

Charleygirl Sun 30-Oct-16 17:31:24

I think that Ore is my favourite and he may well win.

Lona Sun 30-Oct-16 17:27:40

I agree corner, I didn't enjoy it very much either. There's no dancer that I'm particularly bothered about, so I don't care who wins and I don't usually feel like this.
I thought Tess looked very nice last night.

I never enjoy Halloween night on Strictly - I suppose the costumes and make-up are amazing (did you know the make-up artist who appears on It Takes Two is Ant's wife (of Ant and Dec?)) However, I like to see the faces of those who are dancing and find the make-up and costumes all a bit gruesome!! shock

Wish Ed would go. His dance on Saturday didn't make me laugh, rather cringe. It seems Ed polarises views, I find him smug, which I could forgive if he could dance hmm. I doubt he will be in the dance off, suspect Anastacia and maybe Daisy, although both are better dancers than Ed. Out of those two would prefer Anastacia to leave. Didn't enjoy the programme overall this week, probably just being grumpy!

I just loved Ed Balls. He must have a lot of confidence in himself to perform as he does. I don't mean confidence in his dance ability, just self confidence, no worries about looking ridiculous, so I admire him for that. Whatever, he was really the star of the show last night and gave a lot of pleasure and a lot of laughs to a lot of people. I hope he stays in a bit longer.

I predict Anastacia will go out tonight.

I think you could very well be right Jane10

Jane10 Sun 30-Oct-16 08:15:43

Bottom 2 -Daisy (because she's not very popular which is a shame)and Anastacia (because it wasn't a very good dance and she's not popular). Anastacia to go for me. Any more predictions?

ninathenana Sat 29-Oct-16 22:28:30

Ed's best dance so far.

Charleygirl Sat 29-Oct-16 22:12:48

If I had been in charge of costume, white trousers would have been the last thing on my mind for Ed. He was in time for the entire dance which was good for him. Dare I say it I voted for him- he does try very hard.

I do like to watch Robert Rinder but he must control his mouth.

I have no idea who will be in the bottom two tomorrow evening.

Lona Sat 29-Oct-16 22:04:53

I thought he looked even fatter, apparently he's enjoying the catering very much. He's very creepy and smug IMO. thlhmm

Anya Sat 29-Oct-16 21:33:39

Like Darcy, I was howling with laughter at Ed's performance. His hand move wasn't raunchy, it was just pure comedy.

petra Sat 29-Oct-16 20:40:59

BlueBelle. Thank goodness I'm not alone with thinking the gesture where he run his hand over his paunch was yukkey. OH had another word for it, it begins with a 'p'

Alima Sat 29-Oct-16 20:25:56

Actually thought Ed was quite entertaining tonight. I am going to have to go and lie down now.

merlotgran Sat 29-Oct-16 20:23:07

He looked like he was wearing an oversized babygrow and a large nappy. grin

DaphneBroon Sat 29-Oct-16 20:22:56

I thought Ed was hilarious - in a good way too! Liked Greg, liked Ed, liked Judge Rinder, but thought most of them took themselves far too seriously. thlhmm

Jalima Sat 29-Oct-16 20:22:21

Keep thinking that Claudia is very brave to be presenting tonight after what happened last year.

She's a trooper.

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 20:19:55

I don't love him either, but at least his performances usually give us a laugh - can't tell the difference between some of the others!

suzied Sat 29-Oct-16 20:17:56

Just voted for Ed online! Hilarious! ( and Claudia as she is the best! )

Jalima Sat 29-Oct-16 20:17:00

Not sure we all love him BB shock

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 20:16:47

I really enjoyed Ed's dance, and I think he actually has lost a bit of weight!
