I have just watched Ed's and Katya's Salsa again. Loved it. I enjoyed and made me laugh also. I do not think when the judges commented they did not give any credit for the lifts. Oh I will miss them on Saturday, it will not be the same.

I didn't like him as a politician. I am left of centre. I didn't like the way he handled the Baby P case as a minister and thought he was too neoliberal as Shadow Chancellor. That said, I have a great admiration for any politician with a stutter who manages to advance to the front bench of the HoC. That is a real achievement.
I enjoyed him thoroughly on Strictly. To go on strictly and even become a politician...he has done really well. |

It has nothing to do with him being a good or bad politician. I guess there are quite of lot of people like me, who do not agree with his political views, in fact when his wife is on Question Time I turn down the volume! She is very strident in her views..
So I guess I was a bit biased and did not expect him to be so nice, with a great sense of humour and so much fun to watch. This man was a serious politician with a wife who was one of the contenders for the current Labour leadership, I and a lot of others will miss him next Saturday!! All the fun gone... Off subject by a Thatcherite lol? |

The good news is that Ed hinted on ITT tonight that he may be on the tour. If so that will make the tour huge fun too! Ed you were brilliant !

To go on strictly and even become a politician...he has done really well. He's a patron of the British Stammering Association. You can read his speech about it here: http://www.stammering.org/speaking-o...mes-bsa-patron If you watch any of his Strictly interviews back, you'll notice the occasional pause when he's being interviewed. He's not thinking of what to say: he's controlling the stammer. |

Much preferred Ed's dance to Rob's, which I found stiff and not very attractive to watch, but I knew once Ed was in the dance off, the judges would not save him - would love to know which one of them got the most public votes.
I am so going to miss him.

http://www.dailypost.co.uk/whats-on/...erves-12221853 “I’m a fan of what he is doing,” he says. “The show is a dance competition but it is also entertainment.
“Your job is to entertain and that is exactly what Ed and Katya have been doing. But they have been doing much more than that, Ed has been improving each week. |

I'll miss both from the competition.
Wasn't a fan of Ed Balls in politics at all but he really has came across brilliantly since the last election and especially on Strictly. While he was fun, he clearly did put the effort in and did improve and took any criticism or jokes very well. Also unlike some 'comedy contestants' you could always tell what his dances were meant to be. He really has connected with viewers. Katya too has been a revelation. You can see Ed appreciated her teaching and that she appreciated the effort he put in too. She's taken being given a relative duffer (no offence intended to Ed but he was never going to be getting 40) in her first year in good grace and managed to produce routines that are both fun but also include quite a bit of dance content and she genuinely comes across as a lovely person. My favourite two partnerships this year have been Ed & Katya and Danny & Oti and while both are different couples, both have made Strictly for me this year. |

Ed has been a joy to watch and as for Katya, someone should give her a medal or a peerage or something. The girl must have nerves of steel!
Saturday nights will be duller without them

I imagine him and Katya would have produced something memorable and entertaining for musical week.

Missed them tonight but also secretly pleased that they were voted out last week.
Judge Rinder seemed very isolated in ability; technique and performance tonight and i would have hated Ed and Katya to have felt that pressure. The abandoned joy of dance and performance was a huge part of the charm of Balls and Rinder!! Love Ed!!! |

He was once mercilessly mocked when responding to a Budget speech as Shadow Chancellor by rowdy Tories on the other benches. I know the HoC is a combative place but it was shameful behaviour from them.
He's a patron of the British Stammering Association. You can read his speech about it here: http://www.stammering.org/speaking-o...mes-bsa-patron If you watch any of his Strictly interviews back, you'll notice the occasional pause when he's being interviewed. He's not thinking of what to say: he's controlling the stammer. I missed Ed and Katya tonight but I'm also relieved that they weren't dancing so that they wouldn't be criticised and faced with all the calls for them to quit etc I decided to give my 3 online votes to Louise (2) and Ore but I don't really mind who wins as long as it's not Robert Rinder. |

I missed them tonight as well, the show wasn't the same without them.
Like other posters on here I'm losing interest in Strictly and I've watched since day one. I NEVER watch it live now most of the filler is tedious and embarrassing in my opinion. Ed was the one I looked forward to dancing every week so I'm not sure if I'll continue watching this series. |
