Shame I thought he was going to be a strong contender.

Me too. Although Len didn't seem to like him. That might be the kiss of death for any contestants chances. :thumbdown:
I'm afraid I have little sympathy for so-called celebrities who have a strop and a hissy fit when everything does not go their way. I always feel Len is more measured and constructive in his comments but if you cannot take criticism I would suggest shows such as this are not for you despite the money made for appearing and the subsequent tour.
Hi foxy.....l'm happy to go along with your take on the Len vs Will saga but only because Len said "only joking" after his "rude put down comment"..... had he not, then he would have been completely out of order saying what he did imo.

Oh...and having studied at the Bolshio Ballet Accadamy for 5 years l feel well qualified to say Will's Salsa routine did infact have 24 counts of eight in it:angel: :lol:

Re Will Young, OBF could well be right and it was a hissy fit between him and Karen. Oh well, not good for the image either way.

Hi Frank....l had read that there was friction between Will Young and partner Karen, probably something to do with who got to wear the dresses? :oops: :o Slap my wrists.

As for OBF being right...well let's just say that were he a horse l would back him every time :thumbup: :D

Hi Frank.... I don't doubt OBF has a bit of stallion in him but as you probably know the one thing that man and horse have in common is that as they get older they are both known to flop!!

Ore and Joanne were amazing. Should have had the extra mark from Craig.

What a competition.

Some great performances tonight especially those from Ore and Danny. It looked like Ed was rehearsing for his local Christmas pantomime but I dare say the whims of the voting public will keep him in for another week.

If there were a prize for effort then that would surly go to Lesley who's knee and hip joint replacments seem to be holding up well :) . Hope she goes through.

So for my money its Greg for the chop this week.

Well, now we know that it was Naga who faced the chop. Brendan danced on with a severe chest infection, Ed Balls continues to go up in my estimation (not as a dancer). Ore was brilliant, he might yet win at this rate. The standard is incredibly high except for Ed and to a lesser extent Judge Rinder. All very enjoyable TV.

Not surprised Naga went. She seemed to float about with not a great deal of commitment or confidence in what she was doing. Anastasia did a lot of floating about but at least she looked like she knew what she was doing.
Ore was incredible and Judge Rinder is entertaining whilst Ed is in there for the novelty value. As entertainment I think it is good value.
Good night for SWMBO as she gets a dose of Strictly followed by Poldark (and I get an hour of peace and quiet on the pooter without feeling guilty!!!).
