Hi Terry yeah I agree but I think like Dave Meyers Lisa RIlley and Widdy could he be the people's champion?
That's a very good question John, I'm not sure but there is probably someone out there who can give us an answer.

Whatever happens, I hope people will give Ed Balls a break. I know he wasn't a very popular politician, but he's no longer a politician and deserves to be assessed on his dancing performance alone.

I'm already seeing loads of catty comments about him on Twitter -- all related to his previous occupation -- and if it continues in this vein it'll get boring fast.

Tend to think the same as McDonnell. Austerity is a political choice, not a necessity. And what socialist would choose to attack the people at the bottom of society?

But I wholeheartedly agree with you, Paul.

The joy of Strictly is that everyone should get a clean slate and a fresh start. I thought that for Gregg Wallace too. Everyone is born afresh into the world of Strictly

Shame really, he was one person who actually studied Economics. Almost unheard of for a qualified person to be given a relevant ministry.

Surely no one can replace our Dear Ann as Strictly Come Dancing's one and only National Treasure,

Ann Widdecombe is NO National Treasure, as a member of a Conservative government her sole purpose in life was to grind down the working class of this country until they squealed.

Judging by tonight's group dance Ed will be lucky to keep his deposit and will be first off.

Hi Xassy, we can't afford to miss a second of Strictly this year.

Are you an EdBalls fan ?

If you were married to him would you take his name or use your maiden name ?

Balls could go deep in the competition in the way Widdy just wasn't equipped to

I predict that poor Ed will be the target of some cruel jibes from Craig. He'll weather it well though.

You could well be right Antonia, would you like to see Mr Balls do well ?

Many are saying that Ed Balls might be out tonight though, do you think viewers will warm to him and vote to save him ?

Well Ed is still there despite there being rumours in the papers of a BBC stitch up, why would they get rid of Ed when he is a ratings winner each week ?

Will the Cha Cha Challenge be the undoing of Ed tonight though ?

Well the stitch up prevailed but I think its fair to say that despite his quite good run on the show this year that Widdys National Treasure status will not come under any threat from Mr Ball.
