I think some of the issue is that viewers see the judges marking some contestants far more generously which they don't like and so they will vote for the ones they see as being "picked on" . Take tonight Eds jive was very poor compared to some we have seen so far but compared to Claudia jive tonight it wasn't that bad, at least they were in sync for most of the time even if his version of the footwork wasn't the same as hers whereas Claudia jive was completely out of time and sync yet the judges praised her to the hilt
BIB - I'm glad someone else noticed this. I was amazed none of the judges picked up on it.

Ed's dancing had serious mistakes tonight, more then normal. Fun to watch but time to go.

I'm pretty certain Ed is going to win this..... potentially by the biggest audience vote margin the show has ever had.

Compared with his two previous routines which were fun to watch again and again for many people (hence the high hit rate on youtube and fb) tonight's routine was quite a bit below par and could land Ed and the lovely Katya in the B2. Based on tonight's other performances I can't see them edging out another couple in the dance off.

Did he make mistakes today? If so, I didn't notice any. I would have given them 10 because it was such a joyful dance, wonderful to watch.

Have to agree...somehow it just wasn't as 'wow' as I expected...didn't help going straight on after danny! Fewer mistakes, undermarked again...but also less reason for watching it again...or indeed voting to save them...sadly.

If they were going to get a 'ten from len' it HAD to be last week...the 10 paddles were out like confetti to lesser dances tonight...apart from danny's imo.

No - it doesn't matter how many mistakes Ed makes, he'll still get all my votes as he did tonight, yet again.

I've had more sheer fun watching Ed this year than I have watching any other celeb in all 14 Strictly series. I've got a whole string of Strictly favourites some of whom I've adored beyond reason - Colin Jackson, Denise Lewis, Austin Healey - but not one of them has made me laugh out loud like Ed has.

If he goes home now, the series will die on its feet.

If Ed makes a few bad mistakes on Saturday will it matter or will f/m's that vote for him still vote for him.
All of them make mistakes every week. That's why there are judges to point them out.

If Ed's dances entertain me then yes I would vote for him even if there were mistakes in the routine. I know they all work hard and try their best to perform well but Ed really seems to be enjoying it all so much as well which comes through in his dances and makes me enjoy them too

Come on, the Ed joke is wearing a little thin and time to go. I laughed through his salsa last week, this week I could barely raise a smile at a pedestrian and flat jive (I use the term jive in the loosest possible sense). It was good while it lasted but ............

Watch the middle section, he forgets it, then a hug from Katya to " pull" him back in place.

Loved Gangnam style last week, but he seriously went wrong tonight.

Of course people can vote for who they want I just cant understand how people would admit they vote for someone no matter how bad they are.

If Danny got 40 for mistakes then I don't see why people shouldn't vote for Ed

I think that he will win too which will be a shame. I don't think that he deserves to win.

I vote based on how a dance has made me feel. So if a dance with some mistakes has made me happier than a perfectly executed dance I will vote for the former. If the perfect dance makes me happy I will vote for that.

I actually really enjoyed Greg's dance last night. It was far from perfect but it was great fun and made me smile.

Agree, Ed has clearly emerged as ` The people`s champion ` , who will continue to amass the public vote, regardless of what the judges might say.
