Well Susanna has to have the Foxtrot, which might mean that Nat has the AT.
Sophie has to have the American Smooth, which means Abbey may also have the AT.
2 ATs then? I don't think they'd give Abbey the AS after having the VW this week.
Ashly - Charleston and probably the Foxtrot - which means two Foxtrots.
Patrick has to have the Paso - which means Sophie will most likely do a salsa as her 2nd dance.
However, I have a horrible feeling that she will probably get the American smooth mostly for a direct comparison with Sophie's American smooth.
We haven't seen an amazing AT so far and I think that Abbey can totally pull it off and it's my favorite dance so....:cool::)
I think she'll get the AT, the show will want a Natalie vs Abbey AT showdown Plus we've only had 2 ATs this season...
I really hope so.
I've waited for an Argentine Tango from Abbey all season ;-):).
Yes.it's the semi final . One Latin, one ballroom
I would have thought so - one ballroom and one latin?
Abbey & Aljaz - American Smooth / Samba

Sophie & Brendan - American Smooth / Paso Doble
Susanna & Kevin - Foxtrot / Salsa
If you're right, then it will be interesting to compare the Pasos and Salsas. I don't think I'm looking forward to any of the ATs.
Which would mean Natalie and Sophie going against the rest of the field (in terms of dances).
Will be interesting to see the possible showdown between Abbey and Sophie (not so much the AS, but more the overall score; even with that themed salsa in mind, I can't see Abbey getting one up on Sophie in regards to the latin).
I think that the Paso could suit Sophie more. I can't see her pulling a great salsa. Plus I love Brendan's paso choreography :cool:.
She will be stunning in the American smooth too
An American Smooth can be danced utterly differently to a Viennese Waltz as it can be based on any of the five ballroom dance styles. A Quickstep AS would look totally different to a VW one, same with a Foxtrot or Tango based one. Only a VW or Waltz based AS should give the same vibe as a plain VW.
They shouldn't do one in the semis. It basically means we know who will come last in the final! It's probably the only way for them to get at least one guy in the final though.
Based on the judges' likes/dislikes, if Sophie is in the dance-off, then no matter who she's up against, no matter how well or badly she does in comparison to the other contestant, she'll be out. Whereas if Abbey is in the dance-off, no matter who she's up against (even Natalie), no matter how well or badly she does in comparison to the other contestant, she'll be saved. For the others, it will depend entirely on who they're up against. If Patrick (who is the judges' favourite male contestant this year and therefore the male contestant they'd most want to see in the final) is up against any of Susanna, Sophie or Ashley, he'll probably be saved. If he's up against either Natalie or Abbey, he might not be.
Anyone notice the lack of lifts in the swingathon last night?
Hope ths is right for Sophie and Brendan. I don't think she would do a good salsa at all
I also feel that Sophie and Brendan will not get the judges vote if in the dance off.
Both appear to have their own tours early next year so won't be doing the SCD TOUR. Would the PTB be happy with a tour that does not include the winner (should Sophie avoid the DDO and secure the viewers votes in the final):o?:(
