Strictly Week Eight

[Eve]

Evening to those watching. Looking forward to some great dancing tonight! Really looking forward to Danny and Oti's Argentine Tango, will it rival Louise's last week?

Who will not make it through to Blackpool next week, especially after the shock of Ore being in the dance off last week?

Will Ed survive another week? His dance to Gangnam Style should be something to behold!

[Eve]

Me neither, can't say it was bad dancing at all but did nothing for me.

Oh here we go, come on Ed, I'm seriously intrigued!!

[scorpiojo]

I'm mesmerised, but not in a good way ;o)

[silliemillie]

If you're missing Ola, she's in the Jungle from tomorrow.

[Eve]

Wow, that was something special haha! He is just so entertaining, fair play to him, he has put so much in to it! That could have got him through to Blackpool!

[Eve]

Oh I loved Claudia's Viennese and she looks lovely!

[scorpiojo]

Yayyyy!

[Eve]

Top of the leader board so far, yay! I love those two.

Danny and Oti up now, have so been looking forward to their Argentine Tango, I so hope this is amazing!

[Eve]

That was great though not quite the same impact as Louise's last week overall. Some incredible footwork, especially from a male celebrity! I think the skill level was better from him but Louise's theme was better generally for effect. The skill should get some great marks though! Very impressive.

[scorpiojo]

I preferred Louise's. They get 9s and 10s and Ed got an 8? No fair :(

[Eve]

I don't get such high marks for Ed, yes he is entertaining but the skill just isn't there, even though he has improved. Seems the public are voting him through regardless.

[scorpiojo]

Love her dress!

[Eve]

It is a lovely dress, nice to have an old glamour kind of theme. Good dance. I think they will get good marks for this though I don't think it matched the skill level of Danny's footwork.

[scorpiojo]

Yay!

Ok, I'm going for Daisy and Greg in the dance-off..bet Ed's safe :(

[Eve]

I keep touting Greg for the dance off but he always seems to escape it! I think Daisy could well be back there.

I think Ed will swing it through to Blackpool. Hmm...could Ore be in danger again as his Rhumba wasn't that appealing (to me anyway!), maybe he will get more votes this week though if voters were more complacent last week about him being safe.

Based on previously voting I'm going to be controversial and go for Daisy and Ore! I think Greg should be there though.

Greg and Daisy in dance off

Daisy out

[Eve]

Thanks hc and well done scorpiojo!

Well, at least it seems like, save the Ed factor - no surprise that he is through to Blackpool after last night, it was a fairer dance off as they both tied at the bottom of the leader board just above Ed.

[scorpiojo]

Ta x

Surely Ed won't make it to the final....will he? ;o)

[Eve]

Some of the more novelty ones in previous years have made it a fair way before though and got voted off. I can't see him making the final but who knows really with the voting this year! As long as Danny Mac is there :) Ore hasn't impressed me as much recently.

[grumpy01]

I've tried to tell you but you won't listen.It is all to do with viewer ratings and as long as Ed Balls is there they have a chance of being above Dermot O'Dreary and the rest in the ratings war.Dancing has nothing to do with it although the judges would try to have you believe otherwise.

[MargoTester]

I agree about Ore,Eve, he started very well and has just reached a plateau now, but the judges seem to like him, and I think they over mark him. At lease he managed not to bawl this week so that's something. I like Louise hope she manages to get to the final, but they are all, apart from Ed, such good dancers it's difficult to know.
