I've just finished watching all of the episodes - thought it was fabulous and can't wait for series 2. Hubby enjoyed it more than i did!

looking at scores and polls after the show heres the predicted bottom 3

Daisy a bottom two certainty with 3 + 1 =4 points
Greg 3 + 3 = 6
Judge Rinder 4 + 2 = 6....

so between the pair for the other space...if the public goes with Greg over Rinder, then Rinder would be in the dance off....

Maths is also likely to mean Ed will find it hard to avoid the dance off next week unless he is not bottom of the board as he only is 2 points clear of trouble this week with what looks like a good poll result (2nd place)

Greetings to all, (handing round a ballotin of Belgian praline chocolates).

Am broadly smiling after just rewatching the glorious "Gangnam Style" salsa dance - Len was right - immensely entertaining Strictly Worst Dad Dancing but Ed Balls dances on the beat and is very light on his feet, handwork not so good.

Much appreciated the Argentine tango (very difficult routine) and loved Greg's commitment to his Paso, also loved his leaps.
For Judge Rinder's - sorry, Robert Rinder's- dance I do wish somebody had bound Oksana's hair up in a hairnet, she didn't need to disguise any wrong technique, the lad did well.
Daisy's salsa - so polite, I wonder she didn't wear a crinoline, but great smile on her face.
There was interesting fingerography in the rumba and yet again in the Viennese waltz I kept being annoyed at the immense difference in height between the gymnast and her partner. It's OK for figure skating in pairs, but on the dance floor it always looks as though he is dancing with a 12 year old. Maybe I should try some rose-tinted glasses.

I am really sorry that any couple is going to go home tonight and miss Blackpool - they all deserve to go there, and if a Certain Person had not been so selfish as to pull out midweek, all the present couples could be going.

To get rid of that sore feeling, will go back to whistling the Gangnam tune - or maybe Big Spender to my bored dogs.

Agree, I see that now it looks like Ore is not going to win Louise is the one being attacked for being the "chosen one / smug"

I hope you're wrong. Loved Daisy's dance tonight, and quite liked Ore's, too. I'm hoping (forlornly, I'm sure) for an Ed/Rinder DO and don't much care which one goes.

I thought Ore's was a 'nothing' dance Honestly i just wish they would scrap the Rhumba and replace it with something else!

If any of them are in the DO with a Clifton, they will be odds-on to go home

Strangely, I feel the same. BUT if it had been put on earlier in the show, I think it would have gone into the mix.

I can think of few people less smug than Louise, and I love how she's growing in confidence. I missed last week's show and have only just watched her AT. Stunning, and better than Danny's tonight, for me, as it had a more seductive intimacy.

I meant on twitter , sorry.........but I agree with you, he was awful as usual.

I am pretty sure Daisy will be in the dance off but I have no idea who'll be with her.

What is everyone doing right now? I'm watching The X Factor.

I thought Natalie's dress was outstanding. I'm liking a lot of the frocks this year. I thought Claudia's was lovely today as well.

Trying to watch about 3 channels at once lol

Probably.

Can I get 10.17 please, I'm hoping for an early night.

Good evening everyone, I've been out and now watching on record. Who was worth watching.? And has anyone brought dessert?

How on earth is that possible?

You're added to my master list ready for the next update

ED BALLS for entertainment

Best of the night's:-

Louise and Danny

I'm eating cheese and watching programmes I've missed on catch up. Plenty of cheese to spare - the Northumbrian nettle cheese is really very good.

Thanks to Mona, and everyone else involved for the thread Anxiously awaiting the result. I'm thinking potentially it could be Daisy V Claudia with Daisy out.

Watching last night's HIGNFY - really hope that Daisy is safe as i loved her dance.

I totally agree

I don't really want any of them to go if I'm honest. Let them all go to Blackpool...👍🏻😁

Natalie has a huge band of supporters, and I think - I hope - that will carry Greg through. Plus he looked "jolly good" leaping in the air, so some ladies may be voting for him.
