    Do we know what the waltz-a-thon actually is yet? If its like the group viennese waltzes they've done in previous series then I can't see them giving anyone a VW for their normal dance too. With this in mind, I'm going to guess at everything they've got left to do (yes I've been thinking about this far too much :p).

    Caroline - foxtrot then salsa and VW in the semi final (would miss the AT)
    Frankie - AT then salsa and AS in the semi final (would miss the rumba)
    Jake - charleston then cha cha and VW in the semi final (would miss the foxtrot)
    Mark - AT then rumba and foxtrot in the semi final (would miss the VW)
    Pixie - cha cha then salsa and AS in the semi final (would miss the AT)
    Simon - AS then foxtrot and samba in the semi final (would miss the cha cha)
    Sunetra - paso then quickstep and charleston in the semi final (would miss the AT)

    Bit difficult to work out when theres still two people to be eliminated before the semi, and missed dances are based mostly on what I think the pro would least want their celeb to do, which is maybe not the best think to base this on :p.

    years (20's /30's) ago before the english tango was added to ballroom A. Tango was part of the latin group

    Strictly tends to judge AT as ballroom as far as I can remember. Natalie did an AT and a salsa in the semis last year.

    Most of the time Argentine Tango has been paired with a latin in the semis, but Dani did it paired with American Smooth in the Series 10 semis, so I don't know if it's a hard and fast thing (although IIRC there was a proper mess that year with regards to when exactly Flavia and Vincent were going to do Argentine Tango with their celebs so it might have been a last-minute patch-up).

    I much preferred it when there were two dances from about week 6 or 7, I also hate all the themed week stuff, thought this week was terrible

    IIRC - they were originally going to the AT as their new dance in the finals, as were Louis and Flavia. The format of the final then changed from three couples to four, eliminating the new dance, and Dani ended up doing it in the semi-finals. On every other occasion (Scott, Holly, Jason, Natalie) since it was 'demoted' from being done in the semis only the AT has been done with a latin.

    That's a lot of people still to do Argentine Tango or American Smooth, so I'm sure there'll be one of each of those. I would say the same about Viennese Waltz, but I can hear the cries of 'favouritism' ringing already if anyone gets a Viennese Waltz the same week as a Waltz-a-thon (though of course in reality they're very different dances, the vast majority of the general public don't know that).

    My predictions:

    Caroline & Pasha - Foxtrot
    Frankie & Kevin - Rumba
    Jake & Janette - Charleston
    Mark & Karen - Argentine Tango
    Pixie & Trent - Cha-Cha-Cha
    Simon & Kristina - American Smooth
    Sunetra & Brendan - Quickstep

    Simon must be doing Foxtrot and Samba in the semis as they're the only dances available to him.

    As Caroline and Mark must also be doing ballroom in order to hold their last latin back for the semis, I'd guess that everyone else is doing latin.

    I would lean towards VW being Caroline's semi-final dance rather than Foxtrot since Simon must also be doing the Foxtrot in the semis.

    From the way they were talking about the Waltz-a-thon on tonight's results show I think it'll be scored similar the group Viennese from a few years back - everyone completes the routine rather than being voted off one-by-one, then the judges rank them best to worst. Except that Viennese actually gave everybody one mark out of 10 rather than a ranking, but I digress.

    Now, you see, I reckon she'll have the Foxtrot in the semi-final, purely because Pasha doesn't seem too keen on the Waltzes in general - he skipped the VW with Chelsee, along with the regular Waltz with Kimberley (not to mention falling in the bottom-two with both her and Caroline on their respective Waltzes), so I think he tries to avoid them if possible. Plus, Caroline's already proven that her slow Ballroom isn't that great, so dancing it a week before the final could be a mistake. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but there you go. :D
