Ricky W and Laila
Is it me or they always near the end of the show? Especially Ricky W. I think it is time one of them went first.

Looking at the stats that were posted by BuddyBonthenet recently
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...&postcount=119 I'd say Ricky is definitely due for an early appearance closely followed by Laila. |

I've thought this too. Glad someone has pointed it out. Going first, or in the first few, puts you at a disadvange I think. Interestingly I don't think Anton has gone first since series 1. Definitely time he did.

Going first can be a disadvantage in the early rounds. The fewer couple left, the less of a problem it becomes.
The order isn't fair but it is decided by the producers to make a good show. They normally want someone decent but not outstanding first - allows the judges to set a bench mark score and gives the public something to catch their interest. They want to end with a really entertaining dance, a really good one or with a popular couple, all of which keep the public watching and make them go away with a good impression of the show. |

Ricky's earliest appearance is 6th - sure is time for him to go first. And Laila needs to do so soon too, I agree.Anyone know if we get to know the running order before the night? |

Occasionaly on ITT Claudia might be chatting to a couple and she might say "you're going 1st or last etc tomorrow".

Cheers. I've noticed that but don't recall ever seeing an order listed before the night. Keeps the surprise element I suppose

There's always this same argument every year. It usually balances out in the end.

Ricky W and Laila have got to start dancing nearer the start. It's looking way too contrived this way. Or are they scared if they do that then it might put them in the bottom 2? As has happened with Jade and Ali when they've been first or second to dance.

This is totally irrelevant, but imagine if Ricky and Laila had a baby.
It would be beyond beautiful. *hands down the most random thing i've said all day lol* |

Isnt it strange...I was thinking the same but for opposite reasons. I feel that going last allows the nerves to build and build,whereas going early gets it out of the way ...I suppose it would depend on the individual personalities. I would rather go early myself.

Mark Ramprakash was almost always on late the year he won, so I dont' think it helps.

Those taking part would have to dance with their celeb early in the show to allow time for a costume change, freshen up and quick wee refresher of the steps (if they do that ) before the pro performance.ALSO I haven't taken much notice of the time spent rehearsing by all the celebs but perhaps those who due to work commitments, haven't had as much practice as others are given time to rehearse before they perform according to practice levels that week? Just a couple of thoughts
