Morning towny....having just checked the next elimination odds, 6/4 looks hell of a bet to see the back of him. I haven't as yet had a bet on strictly but if Pearl Acclaim gets up in the 5.15 at Newcastle today l'll be having a small wager on him. If it doesn't get up I'll be up to my knees in sh*t.....see what l did there :thumbup: :)


HI towny..The donkey got beat a head so l've decided to make my £7.50 winnings up to a tenner on what is a certainty of a bigger return come Sunday.


In the mean time it's bye bye from me and come Sunday it will most definitely be bye bey from him as well :wave: :D

I think Louise Redknapp could be a dark horse and one to watch.

Well let's start with the bad bits first...no I'm not talking about Greg l'm referring to the awful camera angles that seemed to be focused everywhere but on the dancers....oh and talking about dancers l don't think the backing dancers added anything to tonight's performances.

Well l don't know about Danny knowing his plaice he owned the place tonight.....absolutely brilliant.

Ed Balls were on fire tonight but l'm afraid it's the time they were distinguished...but hey! l wouldn't put money on him not being here next week, what with his hordes of fans supporting him.

Shock horror....l won't be surprised if Miss Fragapinny finds herself in the bottom two tonight....after what was a rather chunky, clunky routine....not helped by those overpowering backing dancers.

I wasn't bowled over with Louise's pasta dobla tonight but compared to Greg's the previous week then she was fantastic.

Talking about Greg wasn't it lovely to hear him say how much he enjoyed tonight's dance.....Its nice that he'll be leaving on a good note... don't you think?

Ore put in a good routine but l'm not so sure he is now taking the voting public with him....so could find himself in the danger zone.

The judge seemed to enjoy himself and l must say l enjoyed watching him.

So it a tricky one tonight but my bottom two this week are Miss Fagapinny and that chap l've staked ten quid on :thumbup: :D

Danny was SENSATIONAL tonight, streets ahead if everyone else, though I really like Louise's paso too.

Without giving much away the spoiler vote so far shows Danny and Louise out in front and nearly 800 votes ahead of the rest, with a spread of 150 votes between 3rd and 7th.
So it will be tight tomorrow.

Is there nothing that Danny Mac can't dance to. Yet again an excellent performance.

I thought the judges were being a bit generous with their scoring, not that it means a jot.

I think it'll be Ed and Fragafanny in the dance off.

If/when Ed gets in the dance off he'll be gone. As with all the comedy acts of previous years once they are in front of the judges against someone who can really dance well they're gone. But to give Ed his due he's a lot better than some of the cannon fodder of previous years. And much better than he was as a Shadow Chancellor! (I wonder how Jezzer Corbyn will get on in the 2021 series?)

Agree Stephen. Overall Claudia thingy has been a better dancer but we thought in the dance off she was all over the place and Greg did better. So they judged it on overall performance rather than that one dance. But in the longer term she's not in the same league as the front runners so she won't win. And even Ed's days must be numbered

So who went out tonight then?.... Oops I've just seen Stephens post :lol:

Well that was a bit of a emotional roller-coaster...for gawds sake I nearly joined Stephen needing the tissues...

Putting my £17.50 winning aside :clap: I have to agree with me old mucker in that Greg did do a better dance off but as Sir Merv rightly said Miss Fragapinny has been the more consistent throughout the competition and there would have been some kind of racket going on if Greg the peg had gone through when you take into account his previous performances.

Join me next week to see who is going out :thumbup: :wave:

The choccies are on me!!! :D

if you fancy a rumble in the jungle then Danny is your man on that performance.

Oh dear Ore.....wrong choice of music for what was a brilliant choreographed routine.....sadly l think the voting public will be thinking more along the lines of performing arts and will vote accordingly.

Cinderella couldn't have looked sweeter than what Louise looked tonight....lovely footwork with a endearing personality..odds on to go through tonight.

Someone should have told the Judge to dance instead of prancing around like a cat on a hot tin roof...awful!

Well l certainly didn't get any satisfaction from Ed's laughable routine...time to go!.....but miracles do happen?

Back from the brink... Miss Fragapinny is back in the running with her dramatic Tango.

It's pretty obvious who will be in the bottom two tonight but after careful deliberation l think it will be the judge who is finally sent down...with Ed getting a reprieve until next week.

On second thoughts judges always tick together so it will be Ed for the chop.
