Between Scott's and Matt's samba this week!

Will there be bloodshed from fans of each kill each other over the comparison???

My guess is that Matt will edge this, but I could be wrong.

God I can just imagine it.....the coreography will play a big part ofcourse......a bit suspicious of Aliona again.... Matt said it had a 'special' beginning and end wonder if they are getting the unicycle out again.

No, it'll be a surfboard, she is wearing a bikini after all.

I had a thought that what with Blackpool, they might not be able to get any props onto Fun Bus.

Here's hoping.

Ahhh I look forward to the carnage.

no chance there will be a roof rack.

I think Matt will win this by a fair distance. I just don't see this as Scott's dance. Matt's training footage looked quite good, and Aliona looked hot!

I don't really like Aliona's dress (if you could call it that!) though.

I don't hold much hope for aliona's choreography though. She has disappointed me a few times.

I sort of hope Scott doesn't do well. He's been too "perfect" so far (apart from the Rumba). I can't see either of them doing a bad Samba though.

Whatever happens I hope they are not equal........we need NO TIES on the leaderboard .....yes judges I am taking to you.

Haha!

Damn.

Maybe the Tower Ballroom people won't let them...

*clutches straws*

I have a feeling that this will also be a catfight between Aliona's and Natalie's fans. Their choreography will determine who wins in the samba 'dance-off'.

Methinks Aliona will lose pants down in this.

I dont think she is wearing pants from what I saw on ITT

I know. I say it's another diversion tactic from her. Don't understand why she would want people to be diverted from Matt's dancing though. Matt is hardly Paul Daniels.

I know I dont understand it either to be honest.....which would lead me to believe she just cant help herself, its just her way....Ola has been known to be very underdressed too ofcourse, or in a leopard catsuit but that was definately to distract from her partners below parr dancing. Aliona really isnt in that position.

Are Aliona and Natalie fans in opposition to one another? I mean I know they have different styles, but surely it must be possible to like both.

This!

I'm looking forward to some fantastic dances from the top 3, and some breakthroughs for the rest (well, except for that one).

No we are not, at least if we are it's past me by. I like Natalie.

mostly Matt (but also Alioni) fan

I don't know to be honest. Even though I wasn't Natalie's fan last year, I thought she did fairly well with the choreography dancing with Ricky. She did a pro ballroom dance well but many, many thought she was OTT, but she was choreographing to a Marilyn Monroe's number.

This year, she clearly choreographed to Scott's strength and tried successfully to hide Scott's weakness.

This CANNOT be said of Aliona. All her dances she choreographed so far was 'flash!', 'flash!', thunder lightning 'FLASH!', and with that radioactive hair and everything. Getting grumpy with Matt when he was about to puke from all the twirling in the VW (to think Matt has a ballet background, it must have took a LOT to get him to feel sick from the VW training!!!). An now this silly samba costume she's wearing.

The sub-text is ME ME ME!!!

I like both Natalie and Aliona. Not that keen on Scott or Matt (as people) but I like Scott's dancing over Matt's thus far. I haven't been that impressed with Matt, but that's not to say he won't impress me in the future. I'm sure he will have won me over with at least one dance by the time he gets to the final

I'd say in the battle of the sambas, Matt will do better but I'm not really holding out much hope about the sambas in general.

I don't mind Aliona's outfits. I'd be doing the same if I had her body

I prefer Scott as a contestant but Matt's Samba training looked really, really impressive.

However, what the training clips don't show is the way the celebrities respond to the music and the atmosphere they manage to create with their pro partners. Scott & Natalie probably have the edge when it comes selling the routine. So I'm thinking their Samba might not be as good but it'll be more engaging and fun.

It's going to get ugly, especially if Matt and Scott both do decent dances and one gets one more point than the other...

It really frustrates me when people assume that Aliona's choreography will be bad without even seeing the dance, and she's not even my favourite pro! People are criticising her for things which are beyond her control as well - she doesn't choose how the VTs are edited, she doesn't design her costumes (and I'm sure it's easy to say 'yes I'll wear that for something' when you have a figure like hers), so why is it all her fault?

No-one knows if Matt or Scott are going to be good until they take to the floor. Even if you think Natalie's the best choreographer in the world and Aliona the worst, it could be entirely different on Saturday. I'm just glad that because I like both of them it's basically a win-win situation!

And of course it's posible to like them both!

Funny thing is the media will make far more of any score differences than they themselves will.
