I was just thinking here that if the worse happens and Ali could not continue in SCD then we would be as well letting the others fight it out for a final place with Ricky as there is no way he would ever lose to any in the dance off

Can you ever see the 4 judges voting off Ricky against Chris/Laila/Natalie in a dance off.

Even if he fell over through the dance off I don't think they would vote him out.Even though its supposed to be based on the dance off I think most times they just pick the best dancer of the series so far

Do any of you believe they would vote Ricky out if he fell over?

I would like to think they would because they should unless both couples fall over.

Can't see it. Ali might beat him particularly later on with the right ballroom when she will have two dances each week to choose from and the show dance could be tight.

Anyone else though and he would have to drop Nathlie in the rock and roll and even then he would be near Chris's best marks.

I agree I wish they would be honest but can you ever think where they have voted off a far superior celebrity who has had a bad dance off

I hope not because he is a far superior dancer.

Unless Ricky also withdraws, I can't see him not reaching a non-Ali final.

Of course, whether both Ricky and Ali will get to the final is a different matter entirely.

DOnt you think then that makes the dance off's pointless then

Not necessarily.

Ricky could have a shocker of a week and mess up repeatedly both in the main show and in the dance off against someone who has a very good week. It would then depend what hat the judges had on. It's unlikely, but it's not inpossible.

Also, the dance offs will still decide who else is in the final...

Well not if Ricky is in the dance off every week till the final then the public will be deciding

No as if Ali goes that would leave only one couple to vote for for those who value dancing first so Ricki would be unlikely to be in the dance off. He would probably be in the final then unless his injury gets worse... which is a sad but real possibility.

Is it possible for Ricky Whittle not to be in the final if Ali has to withdraw?

Yes, if he is arrested and locked up!

Bhoy......the lengths you'll go to to get Chris to the final! Lol

Do you know what the injury is and when it happened?

Have you got a crystal ball Bhoy?

Allegedly Ricky Whittle was arrested for assault last night.

seeing as he's banged up at the moment he might not make this weeks show

This show should be re-christened "Strictly come Disaster" - injuries forcing celebrities to pull out, arrests, what next .....

I wonder if there is anything in the dusty dark corners of the scd rule book to cover inability to dance due to being in jail

Maybe he'll be allowed but he'll have to do the whole routine in handcuffs

To the tune of Jailhouse Rock .

And a nice prison jumpsuit.

With sequins and feathers for Natalie

Perhaps Natalie will come out and dance with one of Erin's dummies and hope we dont notice !!!!!

That probably wouldn't work for Natalie but for Flavia, it would have been ingenious.

Think you put a curse on him with that thread title, Bhoy!

Yes who next shall have the bhoy curse
