Strictly

Didn't think much of Daisy's Charleston, it lacked energy and he timing was out. But of course she was much better than Ed and shouldn't have been in the dance off.

I, too, thought something was 'off' between Lesley and Anton. In fact didn't think Anton danced especially well. He seemed to lack his usual spark and flair, but perhaps he didn't like his trousers.

Thought Lesley took her defeat wth great dignity.

And some relief?! She's done well but is probably glad to be sitting back and being part of the show by being on talk shows etc. A fillip for her career generally.

She would have made a very good witch in next weeks show would have hardly needed to dress up

She has earned a rest with head held high ( as has Ed......please, remember John Sergeant and resign. )

According to Ed Balls partner, Katya Jones, he gets giddy doing the spins. That was the reason for the 'stumble'. He definitely won't do a John Sargent.

I don't know anything about hardly any of these people, so apart from Ed which is pretty obvious and probably Greg, are you thinking they nearly all have dance backgrounds That's ok if they were all picked with a similar background I don't think being in a girl band or singing on stage means they ve necessarily had a dancing background but if they ve had years of stage dance training then it's very unfair and should be two different shows complete beginners and then the semi trained

The problem with Strictly is that some see it as a dance competition whilst other see it as entertainment.

Ed is still there because many find him entertaining. If it was purely on his dance skills he would be long gone. I guess the public want to see at Blackpool. It annoys me when the judges critisis the public opinion, it is the public that are paying for the show.

Might be as well that Lesley went before she killed herself trying, but well done to get this far.

The good dancers will win through at the end, they always do. My money is on Ore

I think Lesley was quite relieved to be off the show, she has every right to feel proud of herself, and equally every right to feel relieved she does not have to put herself through all that strenuous exercise again. I thought Anton looked a bit 'off colour' - as did Brendon last week, I wonder if there is some sort of bug going round. Always enjoy the programme, of course Ed Balls should be off, but it is entertaining never-the-less.

I agree Wobblybits Ore is the one to watch. Danny Mac is a superb dancer but he has had years of dancing in West End shows whereas Ore has not.

I am sure that Lesley will be pleased to have a rest this week- she was very gracious in defeat. Difficult at her age trying to fit in a full time job also.

I do like to see what Ed gets up to but from now decent dancers will be leaving whereas he is still stumbling around, getting the public vote.

I suspect the public vote will get Ed to Blackpool, then the dance performance will prevail.

Anton & Aliash (sp) both have the bug that Brendan has.

At least Anton is not dancing this week unless he is with the professionals only. I wonder who will replace Aliash if required?

Look what you get when you let the great British public to vote!! Ed Balls, Brexit and Honey G.!!!!!!!

Good point-lucky we don't have a say in the American presidential election

Oh no, politics on this thread as well...

Who's Honey G?

No politics perlease .....
even Ed has left it behind him
