He's genuinely improving so I don't think for one minute it's his time to go. I'm worried about him tonight, I really hope he stays.
Is it time for Ed to go?

Well said. Ed deserves to stay and I hope he makes Blackpool - along with Greg

Maybe politicians should appear on SCD before they become high profile!

Well as he was a MP for 10 years I would guess he has had a lot of people voting for him before Strictly came along

I agree.
This is the first week I have voted for Ed. He definitely seems to be getting into it now and I thought tonight was his best dance.

Who is this "We" you refer to. IMO he his a shocking and not in a good way.
its past time, he was ok for three weeks while everyone was settling in, however as this is a dance competition I prefer to watch dancers not comedians. I know this wont go down well on here but its how I feel about Strictly.
Is it time for Ed to go?
No because he's improving and there are others who are not much if any better. It's annoying that some celebs like Ed Balls and Rob Rinder get their dances pulled apart yet others get gushing praise no matter what they do.

"The rest are better dancers" argument is of little relevance to me because others arrived as better dancers than him so it's unrealistic to expect him to match them. Ed's doing well for Ed.
Questions that are relevant to me are:
Am I impressed by him? Yes.
Am I still entertained by him? Yes.
Are there others I'd miss less than him? Absolutely.
So if I had my way, Ed stays.

Who is the West End star
He's improving and he is fun to watch. I hope he goes to Blackpool, and I think him and Katya have a good partnership.

Well Said!
I think it is time for him to go. That's not a reflection on him. I think the others are doing enough to stay.
Certainly not. He's actually improving.
I tried to ckmpare him to Jeremy Vine but Ed's so much better. He can go further.

Ed is improving. Some of the others could dance from Day 1 so I don't think it's yet time for him to go.

Ed has more charisma, more technique and more style than many prevous candidates (joke or otherwise) and he is seriously partnering his lady rather than faffling about being a "celeb". I also think he's nicer to his dancing partner than many previous male amateurs have been, and he respects her as a pro.
I think some people dissing him now have never watched earlier series of Strictly where some truly dreadful males got voted through week after week - remember the Woodentop Craig?
I hope ed and Katya get to Blackpool and go out on a high .
