Ö÷²¥´óÐã

Evening all. Predictions for voting off this evening? Nancy, not even Anton's popularity can save her.

Edwina to go. No warmth, no charming. Oh, and can't dance.

*waves hi paws*

Edwina or Nancy, or Dan, Audley or Lulu as the time honoured 'shock exit'!

Hi everyone. Surely Nancy to go, she really can't see how badly wrong her perfor.mances have been

evening Strictlyites!

Great start - lots of bare chests!!!

Edwina or Nancy for me with a possible shock maybe......

Terrific costumes. Ola and Kristina looks SO hot. Messy choreography

More man boob than a rugby team shower

Hiya everyone

why dp they put poor Claudia in such dowdy dresses?

Im not sure who will go but I think Nancy, Edwina or Lulu

I should have said do not dp - sorry for wrong spelling

For a shock exit I would say Holly. I just don't find her endearing!

Claudia is probably in the Ö÷²¥´óÐã maternity wardrobe.

I just noticed had silly Robin's waistcoat looked

Sorry I'm late, I have been doing the washing up. I think it's going to be Nancy going out. She's just not right for Strictly.

They don't put Claudia in dowdy dresses. Claudia insists on doing what Claudia wants to do and I never understand her hyper fan club. Thought she did ITT really well, but that is a quirky intimate show. She is absolutely not suited to the more glitzy, it's not all about Claudia, atmosphere of Strictly where she sits there peering like an owl. She should keep off of the main show which is not her forte, OR she should accept that she needs to dress, look and act the part.

Hello all - good to be back. Edwina or Nancy tonight. I think Edwina will go - can't see much popular support for her. Nancy thinks the whole show is beneath her, but I would be sad to see Anton go so early.

Nancy is slow motion was even worse than at normal speed.....

Hi Fi

you need to get someone else to do it on a strictly night !!

No heels on Claudia tonight, not unless they are steel re-enforced with trainer wheels either side.

The only reason Nancy will still be here next week is because of Anton.

That's a shock with Audley.

I hope Audley doesn't go. He was soooo enjoying himself last night and the routine wasn't bad.

Poor Audley got big feet but he CAN dance!

Such a shame about Audley - he was not the worst dancer last night

What's the point in a bottom 2 if there is no dance off?

No wheels!

Bit surprised by that. Much worse than Audley to choose from.I'm sure he would have improved over the weeks. Do people really think he was worse than Nancy, Edwina and Lulu

Could we have a shock and both Edwina and Nancy stay in????

I hadn't realised that there isn't to be a dance-off

I'm thinking Nancy and Anton - though people may give her a chance as I'm sure she can do so much better, plus Anton has rather a following - or possibly Dan and Katya... not sure why, but they're in the middle of the table and that's always a danger...

I am finding those wigs quite scary.

Emo Phillips is alive and well. Did Will join the army? Cos he has his trousers tucked into his boots.

The way Anton danced last night I almost feel he wouldn't mind being voted out. I just didn't feel he put his usual enthusiasm into it knowing Nancy was going to blow it anyway.

Who are these dancers? Will doesn't need them!

Bring back the dance off.

it is usually the black man who is voted off first although no-one likes to comment on this

There wasn't last year BLC so I assuming they are keeping the same format.

Hurrah for the shoes Claud!

Loved that comment by the judges. Nancy was doing a salsa and Anton was doing a foxtrot.

Bruce42 - I think Will was trying very hard not to laugh. Creepy and ridiculous at the same time!!

Tell that to Colin Jackson PeterD20. I'm certain you are wrong.

Nancy will probably stay in for the comedy act !

Cheers bruce42 - I must be having a blonde moment, I remember now :(

PLEASE stop the once second flashes which seem to make up the programme. let us ponder and see what is happening. it seems to be the fashion on all programmes now. it is like subliminal images and really spoils the shows. you clearly have too many cameras. strictly is a show for enjoying the costumes which are outstanding and the dancing which we miss half of it. has to be Nancy or Edwina to go.

Not true any longer PeterD20. Once it was true regarding British TV, but that was a long time ago now as recent TV competitions have proved. Indeed I ran a thread about it on past boards, sorry you never got to read it.

There is no comedy in Nancy. It is no fun laughing at someone who is not in on the joke.

When did this become CÖ÷²¥´óÐã?

Nancy - Noooooooooooooooo Waaaaaaaaay

I can't belive Nancy is through. Travesty!

Didn't really like the "themed" weeks last year, but Broadway sounds promising!! So yes, looking forward to it!

What! Nancy's through. It was all Anton's backing.

I am really going off Len.

The programme was awful - sorry Claudia, get back to ITT asap.

oh no not another week of Nancy!

So with you Bruce42 and BLC. Ridiculous

Please please please let Audley stay.

Looking forward to the Broadway special.

Russel - slo mo priceless!!!!

Thinking Eddie may has less public support than Audley. Who can say though for real.

I think Audley is let down by public apathy towards Natalie. It has nothing to do with colour.

Well that's a blow to Vincent's ego!

I feel so sorry for Vincent. At least we'll probably see him and Flavia demostrating the Argentine Tango.

Right person leaving

Goodbye Edwina Sorry Vincent !

Well out of the two I guess that was the right result. But Nancy won't get better until she can admit that she's getting it wrong and I can't see that happening.

Bye everyone. I'll see you next Saturday.

This is true Bruce42, I think though BooooooooNatalie (as she became known) has softened her image. Her hard front was just a front and didn't help her. Now she has been accepted by the pro group she has reverted to her normal lovely self.

Got that right! The audience just didn't like Edwina. Great show, though. Claudia, sorry love but you looked a fright.

Agree about Natalie. Don't think people take to her at all. Loved the Will Young set.

Nancy to go. No rythm and no personality. Poor Anton! Why does he always always always get the rejects!!!!???

Very sad to see Edwina go, at least she had some character! There are a few boring people on the show.

Does anybody else feel the same as I do about the opening dance? Why do the male celebrities have to have their shirts open? We all know they have good bodies, but I do not wish to see bare chests all the time. Smarten up, not sex up!

Edwina out! Although she was bad she was'nt the worst. And what was Audley doing there, he did'nt deserve that. Don't understand the voting public! Why would anyone waste money on a vote for Nancy. It seems like the only reason Anton remains in this show is to provide the comedy, last year Ann & now Nancy.

Right result I think. Lovely to see Claudia back. She is so funny. Love her. I really like Natalie. Think she is a really nice girl. Can't understand why anyone would not like her????

Nitey nitey see you all next week - have a good one

Don't feel sorry for Anton. He is doing very nicely thank-you building an alternative career as a personality. He does his dancing tours with Erin, knows he'll never win Strictly, and so is going a different route. He gets far more publicity this way than he ever did as a dancer.

I never thought I'd say this but I felt very sorry for Edwina tonight. At least she gave it her best unlike some. I cant believe Nancy is still in. I'ver never seen a more miserable couple that have been saved.
As usual the results show was full of padding and who thought of the panto audition sketch? It was rubbish!
I wish Claudia would either wear natural eye makeup or get her eyes sorted as she still squints like a good 'un. Whoever voted for Nancy to stay in is either a sadist or has very poor taste.

Bye everyone. See you on Saturday

Edwina has got to GO, she has no sense of style, rhythm, or elegance. I feel sooooo sorry for poor Vincente, caro, caro.

Natalie is adorable! How on earth could people not like her?? She always gets the best out of her partners and always puts them first, unlike some!

And absolutely right couple went. Sorry Vincent.

Agree, something a little sad about Edwina tonight. Hated the way Len was patronising her and referring to her as an old curry with the accent on the old. Does he think he's Brad Pitt?

what rubbish why have they changed the format, bring back the dance off and sorry Claudia I love you but you are missed on it takes two

I found tonight's results show very poor. Clearly the results are what they are, but all the other witter-witter & yadda-yaddah was just dull.
For the show generally, I am sick of Bruce's very poor jokes. I know he doesn't write them, but he doesn't have to read them. And Tess, doesn't she have a hairdresser who can get rid of black roots. Spoils the whole effect.

I am soooooo thankful to see Claudia back. I love her! Not that sorry to see Edwina gone but am sorry to see Vincent go because he is great fun and he really does love strictly. I hope he does not vanish into the woodwork! Nancy next.....

It's so unfair that Edwina went. I love Anton but it was Nancy's time to leave.
Who are you people voting to save people in the bottom?

Can't understand why they don't re-introduce the dance-off which would bring some drama to the proceedings and give the judges a role. Without it I see little point in having a final two couples. It's all a bit silly and lacks oomph.

I cannot believe that they voted of Edwina , she dances 100% better than Nancy , her 1st dance was bad but this dance was even worse , last weeks excuse the boa , this weeks excuse a bad knee but that has nothing to do with the rest of her body , shes like a rag doll tied to anton,s feet and yes she did look like she had been on the champers

Do we know yet what the dances will be next week?

And are we getting team blogs agains this year?

Excellent show - loved the pro dancers at the top, wonder who choreographed it? Slo-mo cam was genius, laughed like a drain, but the 'audition' sketch didn't work for me. Mr Dropper has to do the washing up for a week now because I won the bet about who would go, so I'm very happy. Bit of a shame for Vincent, but hope we get to see lots of him in the pro dances. Broadway week: I can hardly wait! Do the couples get to choose which dance to do, or will it be assigned to them as usual?

I think Bruce DOES have to read the jokes Robin!!

A travesty of justice. Nancy only survived because of Anton and at least Edwina has rythum and can dance

Can't anyone see how bad Nancy is, with all her excuses, feater bower going wrong and a bad knee! I've danced Jive with a bad back, big deal.

Will young was amazing! Loved the song...shame about the dancers!

I think the point is that Nancy makes us laugh whereas Edwina doesn't. Wish somebody could explain what it is they see in Claudia.

Who on earth is voting for Nancy? They must be sympathy votes for poor Anton- it's about time he got a partner who can dance! She was rubbish - even with Anton propping her up! Looking forward to the Broadway special next week though!

Her niceness, her wit and...........well just everything teddyandgypsy.

I totally agree with bruce42 - Nancy should just get a sense of humor. She clearly is not going to be able to learn a proper dance so she should do what Ann did and regain some dignity. Go Anton for trying so hard!

Nancy should have gone this week, feel really sorry for Edwina and Vincent. She may not have been the best dancer but she was fun and could laugh at herself. Nancy to leave next week please, I dont think i can stand her for another min.....

Just watched the results show. What a disappointment Nancy didn't go out. Please bring back the judges decision for the last two. I think this would have had different results. Claudia, please were something decent and also shoes that actually go with the dress.

Couldn't believe it when they said Audley was in the bottom two. Should have been Edwina and Nancy.

What a joke result! Even Edwina deserves a second chance more than Nancy. She can't even stand straight!

Gosh. Really surprised at the comments about Edwina. I thought she came across as arrogant, unable to take direction and completely self interested????

NANCY SHOULD HAVE GONE WHY IT IS PEOPLE DO NOT VOTE THE PERSON THAT CAN NOT DANCE OFF

Thanks 91. I understand most people love her. Just think ITT and the film show are her metier where she is mostly in a small studio, rather than in a glitzy show like Strictly. I have a thing about people who think they are bigger than the show (are you listening Bruce) and her refusal to wear glasses and dress appropriately to the irritates me. Personally, I find the 'niceness' a bit pseudo along with the scattiness, but it takes all sorts. But I still don't think she works on the main show. But thanks for explaining.

I don't think it is too big a disappointment that Edwina & Vincent have gone. Edwina didn't do a great Cha Cha Cha and in fairness to her, Vincent (as quite a few of us said last night) choreographed a foxtrot with very little dancing, leaving them second from bottom. Edwina did at least look like she was attempting to perform dances but her exit does ensure there won't be any politics in this years Strictly.

In a way I am glad that Nancey survived because as I said on another discussion our impression of her would have been influenced by the feather boa incident last week. I hope she has a ballroom dance next week so we can get a real impression of what she can do. I am looking forward to seeing how Russell and Holly do on the ballroom side of things
