Strictly

Daphne I agree with every word you said re Lesley Joseph and also Ed Balls. His wife, Yvette Cooper was very proud of him. He is not a natural dancer but he has worked so hard. I do hope that he stays at least this week.

Loved Judge Rinder! Daft face he pulls but he's a lovely dancer and tries so hard.

Must admit I was cringeing during the first bit of Ed's performance, but he was so determined I ended up admiring him. I think the fact that he mentioned beforehand that he wasn't happy about 'doing the faces' made a difference to my opinion.

(And he seemed surprisingly un-sweaty at the end of the dance!)

I think he could have have lost some bit of weight before going on the show. Needs to be fitter. ( not my favourite politician.) Sorry, not kind I know.

Who is Daisy?

Yes! He's human!

I hope he stays in and we see a new slim-line Ed after all that dancing.

Ed gets my vote as well. Great timing!

Loved Ed Balls!! Never voted Labour in my life, but might make an exception tonight!
Anastacia can go home as far as I am concerned.

She actually looks like the archetypal witch. She'd look better with less blue black hair, a softer colour would help. Great body but face? Yikes!

I certainly couldn't. I thought she was amazing.

I know she may look a bit older, but her body certainly isn't, how many of us could do what she did.

It did remind me not to grow my hair and dye it black!
But I wish I could move like that.

Craig was very mean about Claudia Frangipane I thought

This may be construed as bitchy, but I think she looks dreadful and she is only 2 years older than me. A warning in time not to dye your hair black beyond the age of 40.
The "cougar" persona they have devised for her is quite pathetic really. I don't think it does her any favours

It's her stamina that gets me I can't imagine being able to do what she did tonight - oh my back, oh my hips

Ha, ha and me! But she is a bit haggard-looking in the face sometimes - that saying is true about your figure or your face in older age.

Oh I tried to find it!

She's still 71 though, puts me to shame!

Surely there's already a thread about Strictly?
