Susannah & Kevin - Think they have always been doing well in the votes & are probably getting more now. I think they'll probably end up winning.
Natalie & Artem - She may have her detractors due to her previous experience but I have a feeling she is doing quite well in the votes. Probably not well enough to win but she'll be in the final for sure.
Abbey & Alijaz - Been in the Dance Off already. Her vote may have picked up a bit since then but I still see another trip or 2 to the bottom 2.
Patrick & Anya - Another who has been in the dance off already. I do think he will be picking up more votes now to match his increased scores but if he gets to the final which he deserves to IMO he will also likely to have to survive another dance off or 2.
Ashley & Ola - I said in another thread that I have a feeling his vote is about the same as his scores i.e. mid table which means with fewer couples it won't be long before he finds himself bottom 2.
Sophie & Brendan - Made a big impact early on but now seems to be faltering compared to others. I suspect she was high in the votes early on but may be starting to fall back a little now. Has enough votes to avoid the Dance Off until the semis but think she may leave then.
Ben & Kristina - I think he will be doing very well in the votes & is probably getting the hunk vote more than Ashley. Kenny & Gavin were not great dancers either but both finished 5th & can see Ben finishing in a similar position which would mean knocking out 1 or 2 of the better dancers.
Mark & Iveta - Surely destined to leave next week. If he didn't get a rebound vote this week I can't see it happening next week .
Natalie & Artem - She may have her detractors due to her previous experience but I have a feeling she is doing quite well in the votes. Probably not well enough to win but she'll be in the final for sure.

4th and 5th would be Ashley and Natalie.
Top three of Susanna, Ben and Sophie. I'm not sure who's first but I don't think it's Ben.
I have a sense that Kevin is loved.
I think Abbey is being pushed, but has a decent following.
Susannah - goodness I don't know.
Ben has a certain ovary and gay voting appeal.
Sophie is a darling.
Goodness knows. I don't.
2. Ben
3. Sophie
4. Natalie
5. Ashley
6. Patrick
7. Abbey
8. Mark
Swapped Ben and Natalie around at the last moment, as I think that the housewives are holding onto their Ben votes for now (before switching over to Susanna and Natalie for the latter stages).
Actually think that Natalie is still too high, but can't see anyone below her being more popular with the public somehow.
Think that we might be headed towards a Patrick vs. Abbey dance-off in the musical week (November 30th, week 10). Assuming very few ties and Susanna + Natalie staying on top.
However her Charleston was overmarked and I hope it doesn't result in a backlash.
Could any Strictly boffins tell me if Gavin and Kenny were in series which had dance offs?
Kenny was in series with a dance off (his wife got eliminated in a controversial one against Penny Lancaster-Stewart).
Gavin was probably not in a series with a dance off, sorry but I didn't watch that series
People seemed to have warmed to Abbey but I was wonder whether she could suffer because of her husband with so many football supporters being extremely partisan?
2nd Sophie and Brendan
3rd Ben and Kristina
4th Patrick and Anya
5th Natalie and Artem
6th Abbey and Alijaz
7th Ashley and Ola
8th Mark and Iveta
Can't remember if there was a dance off in Gavin's series but it wouldn't have made any difference he was never in the bottom 2 until he finally went in double elimination semi final.
Abbey & Patrick have both been in the bottom two this would lead to the assumption that they are not high in the poll. I think their vote will have increased since then but we are getting to the nitty gritty now.
Sophie has been in a vulnerable position on the board on more than one occasion & avoided the dance off. I would say her following is good.
Ben fits the voting demographic to a tee he has never been high on the board & always safe I wouldn't be surprised if he tops the vote, this won't necessarily save him from the dance off once the numbers get fewer.
Anyone guess as to the order of Ashley, Natalie & Susanna. I don't think the public at large always have the same 'issues' with people that we do on here. So any guess on my part would be speculation based on no facts what so ever.
Gavin was series 8, so no dance off.
(Goldie was first out in bottom 2 with Peter Shilton, and I could see that being overturned if the judges had had say)
Gavin was Kara's series so there wasn't a dance off.
Loved Gavin and his ickle face.
And his cowboy hat
1st - Susanna
2nd - Sophie
3rd - Ben
4th - Natalie
5th - Mark
6th - Ashley
7th - Patrick
8th - Abbey
9th - Fiona
I gave Natalie 4th on the vote. I think the drama may have given her lots of support this week.
Abbey is struggling along with Patrick. I just hope when the time comes for Ben to leave he does not out stay his welcome for being just a pretty face :mad:
I'm honestly not sure about Sophie, whenever she's been vulnerable the bottom 2 or 3 have provided the dance off couples, so she could just be more popular than them. Think her support is drifting.
Ben I think is the only one regularly clambering out of the bottom 3 on the leaderboard.
I think Natalie is more popular than imagined and I think Ashley's in the middle.
I also think the dance is important. Last night I would say it was
Susanna
Ben
Natalie
Abbey
Sophie
Ashley
Mark
Patrick
Fiona
Susanna
Ashley
Ben
Middle of the Road:
Sophie
Natalie
Mark
Least popular:
Abbey
Patrick
Sophie
Susanna
Ben
Ashley
Natalie
Abbey
Patrick
Mark
That's one permutation that would have produced this weeks result of Mark & Fiona in the dance off. Makes depressing reading if you support Abbey & Patrick but of course it could equally be Susanna & Natalie in those places but they have never been in the dance off.
That is my guess for how the vote went this week. Many did say they wanted to save Mark so I imagine he could have come 5th.
I imagine Sophie / Susanna have a comfortable strong vote of around 4th - 1st each week.
Natalie over the weeks has maybe just descended like Abbey has.
Ben obviously gets votes for being sexy. :rolleyes:
