Everyone can dance, they just need tuition and confidence. Well done Ed Balls who is not a natural dancer's shape but has learnt some nifty footwork and puts his heart into the character of the dance every week. I hope he and Katya survive for another week.

Time for Ed Balls to go he can't dance and he's not even entertaining now, feel embarrassed watching him.

Charleygirl Sat 26-Nov-16 20:31:36

I think that Claudia may be in the dance off but I do not know who the second person will be.

TerriBull Sat 26-Nov-16 20:26:15

Ed's run his course now, I have thoroughly enjoyed his performances and he has worked hard to maintain his place, everyone loves him, but now it's serious! He really ought to be in the dance off tomorrow.

Charleygirl Sat 26-Nov-16 20:26:11

Yes Jane I have as has a friend of mine. I thought that Ed was so entertaining tonight. I agree Daphne apart from Ed's dance I have not liked the music when anybody else was performing.

DaphneBroon Sat 26-Nov-16 20:24:40

They really didn't need to "manufacture" another opportunity for Ed to come last did they? That sort of thing is almost guaranteed to provoke the opposite reaction from the public.
And am I alone in being bored with (little) Claudia? And annoyed with the way the presenters speak to her as if she was 12?

I've voted to save him and Judge again. Fingers crossed!

Wobblybits Sat 26-Nov-16 19:48:39

Could this be the end of Ed, or will the public save him again ? I do hope so, he is so enjoyable.

Loved Ed's tango LOL and Craig's comments!

DaphneBroon Sat 26-Nov-16 19:29:53

Is it me?
Lovely dancing, but I am not loving the music! confused

Wobblybits Wed 23-Nov-16 16:44:12

LOL Jane, if only I could.

Jane10 Wed 23-Nov-16 14:14:05

Can you post a video of you dancing Gangnam style so we can judge for ourselves Wobblybits?

Wobblybits Wed 23-Nov-16 11:25:33

I like the idea of Ed being cute --- that means there's hope for me. smile

JessM Wed 23-Nov-16 09:14:14

Rubbish? The programme? Ed's rock and roll look? The world in general? smile

DanniRae Tue 22-Nov-16 22:27:08

Well what ever they are doing to Ed I LIKE IT!! He was cute at the start and he is still cute!! grin

Ana Tue 22-Nov-16 22:14:03

Rubbish.

JessM Tue 22-Nov-16 22:12:28

I'm just saying that they are carefully managing his "dopey middle aged dad" look. Accentuating his manly figure etc. smile

petra Tue 22-Nov-16 14:40:10

JessM. He had the "my mum cut my hair" look all the way through his politicle career, nothing to do with the strictly hairdressers, although I think they might have advised him to let it grow a bit 'just in case' nudge nudge wink wink he gets to Blackpool and has to dance the jive. The ' my mum cut my hair' look wouldn't have been compatible with the rock& roll look. Just saying grin

JessM Tue 22-Nov-16 11:47:47

His hair will be totally in the hands of the Strictly hairandmakeup team. Bet it's in the contract!

Wobblybits Tue 22-Nov-16 10:30:33

As I don't have any hair, does that make me a non entity ?

suzied Tue 22-Nov-16 09:40:58

There are plenty of politicians with bad haircuts. A couple of prominent ones spring to mind.

Alima Tue 22-Nov-16 09:16:42

Ooh I have Wb. Remember Louis Smith, used to look like he had a rat on his head.

Wobblybits Tue 22-Nov-16 09:12:51

Each to their own opinion Petra, personally I have never knowingly judged a person by his haircut.

whitewave Tue 22-Nov-16 08:34:46

petra never let laid back fun and entertainment get in the way of a good prejudice.

petra Tue 22-Nov-16 07:29:02

pigglywiggly. You forgot Judy Murray. I don't like watching bad anything: singing/dancing/acting.
At least there has been some improvement to his hair: he's ditched the " my mum cut my hair" look. And as for him having a second career like Potilo, are we talking about the same person confused
