Ive got a strange felling she might go, I can see a shocker this week.

Oh dear I hope its not going to be Pamela..

I can only hope

No, I think Patsy's days are numbered.

Pamela & James' Charleston will score well so she will be high enough on the table to avoid the boot.

And when I think about it, Pam & Jim don't bother me as much as some of the others so I'm happy for them to stay put a couple more weeks

I think its more likely to be Patsy myself.......she has the Argentine Tango which I cant see being all that good to be honest. Pamela has the Charleston which is a more fun dance and therefore more vote catching. It WILL be interesting to see who is in the bottom 2 though as its bound to be at least one person who hasnt been there before. There are a lot of 'issues' this week.....Artem's injury has restricted their training schedule......Scott is obviously feeling the affects of it all at the moment....Robin wasnt with Patsy on ITT tonight and it wasnt even mentioned ....what the heck is that all about !!..... so it will be an interesting week.

Charleston's normally get a good response though. Still, it will be interesting to find out who is in the bottom 2 with Patsy.

Maybe, but no, I think it's more likely to be Patsy and Robin who go on Saturday. A real shame because I really like them, however Pamela is arguably the better dancer.

It will be interesting to see who is in the final two though. I'd love for it to be Ann and Anton, but it won't be.

I pray it's not Patsy or Gavin and although I'm not a fan of Pamela she doesn't deserve to got before She Who Cannot Be Named.

If God is just Kara, Matt, Scott, Pamela, Patsy and Gavin (in no particular order) will survive.

I really hope not I hope it is the yellow leggings lady who goes this week

However i suspect it will take a really good dancer to go out before a lot of the voting public think enough is enough

Having said that I dont find my self enthused by Pamela dancing it seems to have reached a level and stayed there whilst others are upping their game so she could be vunerable this week

In fact they all are so a really interestign week all round ( with not even the judges vote to stop an excellant dancer going )

Patsy is a very average dancer and Gavin isn't even average. I think Ann will survive both of them. Pamela doesn't deserve to leave yet.

Pamela is good and her charleston looked ok of what we saw on ITT.

Sadly I think Patsy will go but she shouldn't go before Gavin or Ann in a just world.

Sounds like its going to be an interesting week with injuries, exhaustion and missing celebs and pros!

But i think the writing is sadly on the wall this week and we will have to say bye bye to patsy it won't stop me voting a ridiculous number of times though!

The Charleston is a high-energy dance and the last one of those (the jive), Pamela had difficulty with. Will she struggle in the later parts?

I think Patsy will go, there just isn't the support. Have no idea who else will be in the bottom two.

I'm hoping, despite the Tweets, that Gavin will put up a good show in the jive. Katya has said it's another 'fun' dance and he should have the stamina to keep his form up. He just needs the VT to be not emotional for him this time!

All the rest will perform well with a sprinkling of tens again.

*crosses fingers for BoD to go*

I suspect Pamela will struggle with the energy needed for the Charleston.

it seems likely that Patsy will go, as I cant see her getting the sharpness of an AT.

Interesting thing will be who is in the bottom 2 with her.

If we assume Ann will still be in, shock result I'm guessing next week.


I'm worried it will be one of the "top" 3 Matt, Scott or Kara

I hope Pamela & James stay long enough to do a Viennese Waltz and a Quickstep because I think they'll be lovely, especially the VW. I also think their showdance could be a lot of fun, if they get that far. But just as long as we see their VW and hopefully also their QS, I'll be happy. They can go out after that - provided, of course, that the yellow leggings lady is already out! Pamela & James, Kara & Artem, Matt & Aliona and Scott & Natalie will hopefully all outlast her.

I honestly hope this is the case. I love both Patsy and Gavin, but I do think that Pamela's VW could be stunning, and her training for the Charleston looked good.

I think this might be a difficult week because of the injuries. If dottigirl above is right and tens are given out like sweets, then anyone of the top four could go out (because not everone watches ITT and understands the difficulties that some of the contestants had this week).

Why? She managed the salsa perfectly well (apart from her near topple! ).

Pamela's jive wasn't her best dance but that week showed that she has significant public support.

As happened last week, it's clear that the top four dancers - of which Pamela is one, as far as the judges' leader board goes - can end up in a different order each week. Nothing is set in stone.

The only possible fly in the ointment would be Patsy or Gavin delivering. Both are capable of doing so, but I'm guessing this may be a tough week for them both ...

I think Patsy will get the bounce factor with being in the bottom two last week, and will survive. I too think Pamela might be a shock exit!

It really will be ludicrous if any of Kara & Artem, Matt & Aliona, Pamela & James or Scott & Natalie go before Ann & Anton.

I'd really like her to go but I suspect she won't

James will need help from his wife as she is the record holder for the charleston with Chris Hollins last year.

Agreed

I don't think Pamela will struggle with the Charleston as much as Patsy will struggle with the Argentine Tango - it's a dance where feeling the music is very important, and that doesn't seem to be Patsy's forte.

I'm thinking that Patsy and Gavin will definately go before Ann (probably in that order but it doesn't really matter), then, if it's a double elimination on semi finals night, it'll be Pamela and one of Ann or Kara to go, leaving Matt, Scott and one of Ann or Kara in the final.

This is, of course, just pure guesswork based on my assumption that Matt, Scott and Ann are well ahead in the voting but I could be wrong (and wouldn't mind if I was) and Kara may be picking up more votes now.

Yes i think it is likely to be between patsy and gavin - Gav 'cos he can't dance, bless, though he's improved, just not enough and I jsut can't see patsygetting the sharpness required for the AT.

I think its already been proven that who is kept in has little to do with their dancing ability.
