I think this week is going to be either terribly predictable or a shocker

Jade- If she is there she either will be safe due to public support or they might turn against her for not being there last week.... I think ther former myself SAFE

Chris....doing ballroom and very popular with the public......not had a sniff of the dance off yet despite being low and mid range on the board most of the time So SAFE

Natalie....Doing Samb eeekk the judges like her though and seem to see things I am not sure I do (even though I like her personality) like Chris she hasnt seen the dance off yet despite not being high on the board SAFE

Ricky G.....Tnago likely to be better than some of his dances been in dance off twice so DANCE OFF

The other three........well All doing ballroom which suits them all better than latin all likely to get high scores Ali has been in the dance off once Laila got her support last week........I think any one of these 3 could be in the dance off with Ricky G .....if one of them makes a mistake in the dance off and Ricky G does it perfectly again........bet he will still be eliminated.

I wonder where Phil's supporters votes will go.

I don't think there'll be one category that the majority go to. Just probably spread out.

Although a few of my friends who loved Phil also LOVE Chris. So... fingers crossed!

Good oh thats what I like to hear Team Cola on ITT tonight

Jade - safe
Chris - safe
Ricky G - dance-off
Laila - could be dance-off
Ricky W - safe
Ali - safe
Natalie - dance-off?

Ricky G to leave though I'd prefer to lose Laila who has forgotten so many routines and shown no particular pzazz or improvement.

I think it could be Ricky G and Natalie but could also be a shocker like Laila and Ali.

Ricky G Tango - Dance off, no sympathy bounce for 1st appearance so doesn't have the support

Ricky W AS - may not be popular here, but not a sniff of the dance off, likely to be impressive and score highly - safe

Ali Foxtrot - should be safe, but any percieved over marking could possibly land her in trouble - probably safe

Laila Waltz - needs to justify the sympathy vote, but right in Anton's zone for a great dance - possibly safe

Jade Rumba/Tango or out - hopefully safe, sympathy vote should see her through if, whichever dance she does, is a little bit dodgy - probably safe.

Natalie Samba - trying to be objective here, but I can't see this being good, overmarked her public support may erode - possible dance off

Chris VW - very popular, in his comfort zone - safe

So I think Ricky G definately, and one of the girls, should be Natalie, as I think she's as good as she's going to get, but I think possibly Laila if not.

Ricky G goes on Saturday

Chris VW
Ricky G Tango
Ricky W AS
Laila Waltz
Ali Foxtrot
Natalie Samba
Jade Tango or Rumba or not at all.

All confirmed.

lol....I should put a bet on each week when the show finishes

To be honest - I think Natalie has really improved, week on week. And I think she still can improve - not to the final, but she will, given the chance.

I don't think Laila is going to do anything new at all.

I want her or Ricky G. in the dance- off.

Well, both really, and Laila to go.

Laila has only trained 1 hour and has her foot all strapped up on ITT tonight.....she is going to get the public vote again I think.

A week of polarities, I suspect.

The interest of this week's going to be at the bottom of the leaderboard, where I suspect Ricky G, Natalie and Chris will be fighting it out to stay out of the dance-off.

Couldn't believe how bad Chris's VW training looked yesterday...I'll be gutted if he goes ahead of either of the two mentioned above, or indeed Laila - god only knows how bad her waltz will be when she's missed 3 days of training.

At the other end of the scale are Ricky W and Ali. I suspect Ricky W's AS will be an absolute joy to behold, given Natalie's talents in this area and his class in the ballroom dances. The foxtrot, being fairly bland, is likely to suit Ali and they've been the most overmarked dances of the series so far, so expect nothing less than a 38 for her.

Jade's the mystery link - the tango could either end up stunning, or a Laila-style mess, if she does actually go ahead and dance while injured.

I think this will depend a little on whether Jade comes back or not. If Jade comes back and does whatever dance fairly well then I could see Laila loosing out on the sympathy vote.

Agree with this. From their training footage, I think Ricky W is going excellent and he's going to sail to the top of the leader board. Chris and Natalie are fairly popular, since they're not getting the highest marks from the judges but not hitting the bottom 2. If she dances, I think Jade will be getting the sympathy vote, leaving Ali and Laila to battle it out on who's going to join Ricky G - although I think Ali is more popular then Laila.

Laila is still busy working on the sympathy though aswell.......1 hours training and her ankle still strapped up......its going to be interesting.

After seeing Laila training in UGGS, I have NO SYMPATHY for her. I thought it was dubious before, but now it's downright crazy. There is NOTHING less supportive for her ankle. Her training shoes would be more supportive.

I agree Psychosis I have long been expecting a spot on Watchdog about how dangerous those things must be to walk in.

She is beginning to get up my nose when I wanted so much to like her....she just comes across as a bit idiotic.

Anyone else think Natalie's Samba looks dreadful?

I dont want to think about her Samba I feel sorry for the poor girl having Samba when all the others have dances that on paper will suit them.

How many lifts are Ricky and Natalie planning to put in their AS we saw about 10 different lifts being practiced.......none of them too sucessfully and they looked like they were going to try Kennys lift of ola where he lifted her over his head with straight arms .......Natalie is twice the size of Ola (she has size 10 feet according to ITT )

Er.... you could be either right or wrong.
