Ed balls and Katya on Victoria Derbyshire approx 9.45 today
The Ed Balls and Katya Jones Appreciation thread
21 of 22
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-r...than-freedland In all the political obituaries that were written back then, few described Balls as popular – and no one called him a national treasure.
And yet when Balls was finally ejected from the BBC’s wildly popular Strictly Come Dancing last weekend, the wave of affection was unmistakable
He really wanted to learn to dance and to become better. Nothing pleased him more than when the judges praised his “dance content”.
I think it shows that life should be an adventure, even if the adventures seem sometimes quite small at first. When Judge Rinder said that everyone should take up dancing he was absolutely right. It's enabled Ed to show a new side to himself.
And wasn't Katya superb tonight in the pro dance?

I thought about commenting here on Katya, glad you did. Yes she was superb. She's such an elegant dancer, quick and fluid with amazing legs.
All research points to dancing as an advantage for many things in life including ageing and the geriatric years!
The whole show this weekend has felt flat without them. It has made me appreciate even more just how much of this series entertainment and joy has been down to the two of them.

Absolutely. I've helped out at dance classes for early stage dementia patients (ballet, not ballroom) and they really have a very positive effect.

Yeah, my I have seen Chicago, but nothing like her!
And I really missed our dynamic duo on Saturday...the fun and entertainment value was down a few notches!!

TO MY MIND THEY WERE THE BEST THING BY A MILE ON HALLOWEEN WEEK. And their gangnam (639k plus) has gone down in SCD history!!

That sounds great, I can well imagine that could be really beneficial for many people.
I agree with all the above. This week's show was flat without them, although having Katya as lead in the superb Chicago dance made up for it somewhat.
Some of my favourite SCD dances are Ed and Katya's. I loved their Laurel and Hardy quickstep, the Halloween mad professor cha cha and of course the Gangnam style salsa.
They've made the series for me.
It will be interesting to see who Katya gets next year. I hope she gets someone who tries their best and she has good rapport with, like she did with Ed. I'd love her to win.

Just seen Ed doing a bit of the rumba he would have done to Shirley Bassey's "This Is My Life" this week if he hadn't got voted off. Why have we deprived of this, why?

It ain't the same without them. YOU CAN TELL WITH THE NUMBER OF THREADS on DS AND THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES decreasing since Ed and Kat went that they are sorely missed. Its over a week now since their exit and I am still watching 'gangnam' on you tube. It just gets better and better!

Ages ago I posted on the MF that we NEEDED to see Ed's rumba. I wasn't wrong!
Katya and Neil mucking up the pro-dance on ITT TONIGHT, NEIL GOT 104 STEPS DISQUALIFIED OUT OF 104!! And katya only beat him by 17!!
Very funny!!
Very funny!!
Interesting mathematical discussion/analysis on Radio4's numbers programme "More or Less" on whether or not Ed got more votes on Strictly than he did as an MP.
Starts 7:40 in:

Spoiler alert- they don't get any more figures out of the show than anyone else ever has...

I bet he got more votes when it was Gangnam week!! For sure!
I'm really looking forward to that part in the final where all the eliminated contestants come back in order in a group dance all doing their "signature move". I wonder if Ed and Katya will do Gangnam style? I bet they get a big reception!
I'm looking forward to this more than anything else!

Yes! I hope they do gangnam style Ed and Katya will forever be one of the most entertaining couples of Strictly, I loved them.
