Strictly

His partner seemed to have some type of 'protection' thingy under her culottes, similar to a crickete's box, you could see it sticking out at the back! No doubt she needed it...

Oh dear, poor Ed I'm pretty sure an offence was committed during that lift - I was watching through my fingers.

OMG Ed Balls. I thought we were going to see the first stretcher case.

Well I was curled up laughing as Ed Balls tried to get his partner off his shoulder how she didn't crash I ll never know
Judge Rinder was fabulous what a jive, love him

Anyone else notice that Len called Greg an 'atherleet'? Why do some people do that...?

Have just had a look at Tess's ring, it does look rather like a knuckleduster!

Anyone else notice the weird hand jewellery that Tess wore? Is it a new fashion that I have missed?

I don't think anybody is 'laughing at' Ed Balls are they wobbly?

I watched him on Victoria Derbyshire and he said he was awful, missed his steps and at one time asked 'What shall we do'. He said when he left the floor the producer said to him 'That was the campest Paso Doble ever".

Victoria asked him if he would do a John Sergeant and he said he will keep going until he gets voted out and is looking forward to doing the jive.. I still like his self deprecation but they must stop dressing him so daftly.

I don't see Anastasia as 'sleazy'.

Victoria Derbyshire has just described Ed Balls as a "showbiz superstar"!!! Tad of exaggeration there, but he is on her show later this morning so I guess she has to talk him up.

I too felt that Naga tried her best, was having a brilliant time and was very sad to leave. And I was sad to see her go - should have been Anastacia

Re Naga, I thought she tried very hard and was quite brave. The lifts were awful especially that one holding her upside down on his shoulders with her knickers on display. That would take some nerve! Better than sleezy Anastacia.

There's always a token BBC person, a sports person, a soap actor, an older woman, a pop star/singer etc etc. Its a formula they stick to.

I thought Naga really did not try very hard.
I wonder if those who are contracted to the BBC are put under any sort of pressure to take part in these shows.
We seem to have seen a lot of BBC presenters over the years.

Same here, I mean!

And here.

Me too Wobbly!

Exactly Wobbly!

It is the show organisers that decide on the costumes, I applaud Ed for going with it, he is not so full of himself as some. I laugh with him, never at him.

Laughing all the way to the finals? People like a laugh and he's very entertaining.

Ed has become another John Sergeant/Ann Widdecombe- dressed in the most ridiculous outfits and is the laughing stock.

Did anyone else notice that Anastasia was left very much out of the crowd that gathered round Naga and her partner? I rather felt that they (Naga) turned their backs on Anastasia rather than embrace her.

They have set Ed Balls up with costumes that make him look simple daft though, haven't they? I didn't see it this week, but thought he did very well with his first two dances, keeping in time and giving it his all.

I'm enjoying Ed Balls although I think he will do much better when he is dressed up smart in a suit doing ballroom so far it's been very pantomimist so he does look daft and awkward

But its not. Luckily. That Chris Hollins that won a few years back wasn't a great dancer but people just liked him and appreciated that he started as a complete beginner.

I think Ed Balls looked daft but give him his due for trying.

He should have gone though if it was solely based on dancing skills.

Ed should have gone this week. I thought the judges' votes would put him in the bottom two but evidently the popular vote outweighed it.
