Strictly

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Got my grumpy head on now

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

I knew I should have phoned .....

not sock!!

Sock it to them, Ore

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

Petra

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.

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.

Petra

Oh blimey I must have skipped over reading that .

I will look for it .

Cheers.

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

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.

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.

Good, I'll check online then, it'll save me watching all the terrible suspense stuff, pointless.

I've read today that Bruce is in a bad way still after his surgery last year. His body isn't working the same, poor chap. Such a shame when he's had the career he's had. My childhood was all the better for him being around.

Rubylady if you want to know the result Google strictly spoiler after 10:30 on the Saturday - there is a facebook and Twitter feed (?). It spoils the show if you know but that's your choice and I agree about the awful "suspense". If I'm going to miss the Sunday show I sometimes look. I preferred it when they had the results show on Saturday night.

I enjoy the Saturday show but don't want to watch it on Sunday so I always find out who won on a 'spoiler' thread. I never tell anyone though - except DH. And why he wants to know I've no idea since he rarely watches it anyway!

Thank goodness for Strictly to lighten the mood. What's the betting Ed and Katya will be in Blackpool? Gangnam Style -laugh out loud hilarious

I thought Oti and Danny performed a brilliant Tango, it was so quick you had to really concentrate on his footwork.

They are all so good this year, even if it is nothing more than for the fun factor and trying so hard. I wouldn't want to be a judge having to eliminate any one of them.

I think that the awful Balls will win. What a travesty.

No, he won't win, his time on the show is limited but he's certainly been entertaining!
