SCD #8

[Fiderer]

Spin away oh sequined ones...

Slightly late as didn't watch it quite live - Ed wiz robbed!

Rinder's dance (and I like Tinder) was a total wash-out - Ed's had much more energy and style and was better altogether.

I think the judges have taken this chance to get rid of him even though he was better because they were terrified that he would reach the final.

Swines!

I don't think I can be bothered to vote for any of the remaining couples.

Noah

If Ed stood for Ruler of the World now, he would be a shoo-in!

They all loved Ed.

Yes Katya seems such a lovely person. I hope she's back next year with a very good dancer.

And the judges made it clear that they'd have voted that way regardless.

Perhaps Danny will do Wicked on Saturday - he'll be able to have the rest of the week off then!

Claudia didn't mention Ed at all.

The total selfishness of the young . . .

Well I agree with Soup, not sure I can be bothered anymore, Fed up to the back teeth with them fecking Cliftons, consistently overmarked & over hyped.
I loved watching Ed, he was genuinely trying to learn & his enjoyment of the SCD experience was lovely😥

[happy sigh ] Gangnam Style still made me laugh out loud :o

The online vote asks you to vote for who you want to see next week. The answer for me now is that I don't give a damn.

Claudia didn't mention Ed at all.

The total selfishness of the young . . .

Unfair. We go through this every week. They have half "I'm sad to see them go" comments and the others "I'm so happy I'm through" comments

I felt tha SCD gave Ed a new lease of life.
He looks younger and happier

The total selfishness of the young . . .

And the fickleness of the editing team :)

Louise's stage school training also puts her in a strong position. I'm rooting for Ore as he and Robert Rinder are the last true beginners - given how much gymnastics helps Claudia.

All, that's me finished. I won't be watching next week to see them get rid of Rinder, or the following week to see Claudia go, and certainly won't be arsed to watch the final to see Louise crowned.

Ed Balls and 'Mrs Ed' (Yvette Cooper, former minister and chair of the Home Affairs select committee) are both on Twitter rn saying nice things.

As I have the hump, going to say it I dont like Claudia & don't think she has been undermarked, her jive last week was full of mistakes & the AT was her twirling about mostly kicking her legs in the air. (Off to sulk & drink gin)

Gangham Sytle makes me laugh too.

It should be played every night, after the news to cheer us all up

The dancers always go on about how much fun they've had doing Strictly but Ed comes across as actually having had fun rather than just saying what is expected. He looked so happy to have been three even at the end.

Both my eyes are filled up. Rinder's acting was better and his hands finished off his arm movements and were not limp like before.

The Tango was not Ed's dance but he gave it his best effort.

Rinder to go next week.

Been THERE not three. FFS.

I've flounced - dh laughed at me because I said I'm not watching anymore!

I think the Strictly PTB would like the Clifton's to be like the Hough/Ballas/Chmerkovisky clans on DWTS. Sadly they are nowhere near as attractive and glamorous as nasty as that sounds, and this perceived favourtism is actively turning viewers against them.

We've had to crack open the Xmas chocs to cheer ourselves up here!

Relieved Ed has gone but so don't want Louise to win , and I now think she will. The Cliftons make me want to switch off
