It isn't something I usually comment on but

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

Whatever it was I wish she was still there. Entertaining and genuine.

petra Sun 09-Oct-16 20:58:10

I thought it was a gun holster.

Jane10 Sun 09-Oct-16 20:43:27

I hope it was!

nanatobe Sun 09-Oct-16 20:37:54

I thought it might be a dig at Anastasia?

Wobblybits Sun 09-Oct-16 20:32:11

Yes she did have a knee injury, she was either showing it off as a garter or that she was not going to duck out of the dance off because of an injury.

nanatobe Sun 09-Oct-16 20:19:02

Was Tameka showing a bandage around her knee at the end? Wonder if she was suggesting she danced with an injury?

Alima Sun 09-Oct-16 20:11:36

What a shame Tameka is out, she was so entertaining. Should have been Anastasia or Ed Balls I reckon. (gulligranny, I hope you are feeling better soon!)

Jane10 Sun 09-Oct-16 20:08:12

Don't know but he's better than Anastasia!

petra Sun 09-Oct-16 20:04:20

Who's Alistair?

BlueBelle Sun 09-Oct-16 20:01:09

Alistair that's a new one dramatic LOL

aggie Sun 09-Oct-16 19:59:25

we wus !!!!

dramatictessa Sun 09-Oct-16 19:59:22

Alastair should have gone.

BlueBelle Sun 09-Oct-16 19:59:10

Agree re Ed the ted Petra
Don't think those two should have been in the dance off Anastasia should have gone

Wobblybits Sun 09-Oct-16 19:58:19

We wus robbed

Jane10 Sun 09-Oct-16 19:57:01

Awwww Tameka shouldn't be out. She was such fun. Anastacia? Pah!

aggie Sun 09-Oct-16 19:41:50

Oh I do agree OG , really awful , bad enough all the cavorting while the singers perform without the yelling

oldgoat Sun 09-Oct-16 19:39:58

AIBU in thinking that the loud cheers of applause for the professional dancers which burst over the guest singers efforts is really rude?

NotTooOld Sun 09-Oct-16 18:08:50

Oh, Petra, so did I, but give him his due, he is trying hard and actually seems like a nice guy.

petra Sun 09-Oct-16 17:53:06

I can only agree with everything that Craig said about Ed Balls. Detested the man when he was in government and still do.

Jane10 Sun 09-Oct-16 17:42:12

Surely Anastacia will go tonight!

gulligranny Sun 09-Oct-16 17:18:05

I thought Ore's Singing In The Rain was totally charming and delightful, and little Claudia (she is SO tiny) was fantastic. OH is utterly beguiled by the beautiful Daisy. Anastacia was bleurgh, Ed Balls is adorable (words I never expected to say in a million years!).

Charleygirl Sun 09-Oct-16 15:26:03

There was a comment before the show started about Ed and Naga but the show had not begun so nobody had voted. It will be interesting to see if they are in the bottom two.

I do hope that Ed stays and I never thought that I would ever say that. He appears to be human with children at home dying from sheer embarrassment watching their dad dance on TV.

NotTooOld Sun 09-Oct-16 14:58:49

Quite agree about separate competitions for those with previous dance experience/training and for those with none. It does seem very unfair as it is at the moment.

I thought Ed Balls was really good this week - perhaps not a good dancer but definitely a good bloke. Who'd have thought it? I hope he stays in for now.

I felt for Lesley Joseph. Her dance was a really good effort but I was wishing someone would bring her a chair at the end as she looked so knackered. Anton was practically holding her up as they went back up the staircase. I hope she's alright now.

What about when Will Young told Len what he thought of his comment regarding the lack of salsa content in his dance? Good for Will. Len didn't take it at all well, though.

I think Anastacia may go tonight as I think she has probably lost the sympathy of the voters. I hope it's not Lesley or Ed.

Wobblybits Sun 09-Oct-16 14:17:59

Ed Balls is showing what the ordinary guy can achieve, he has no dance or music background, is not super fit, he is about as ordinary as any dad. I'm sure he won't win, but I would love him to get to Blackpool. Some of the entrants have previous experience that gives them a huge advantage.

DanniRae Sun 09-Oct-16 14:07:13

Anastasia to go - I hope.

Still think Ed is really cute and so looks like he is enjoying himself.

Really looking forward to the results show tonight.
