Once I found out the result last night (I was on the spoiler thread) I did a little bit of maths and this is what has been worked out:
Provided that none of the top 4 on the leaderboard (ie Alex, Chelsee, Harry or Jason) came rock bottom in the phone vote:
* Robbie had to score at least 3 points from the phone vote to avoid the bottom 2, and Anita had to score at least 2.
* It is very possible that one of Robbie/Anita and Holly were tied on overall points, but due to Holly scoring less in the phone vote, she was in the bottom 2.
* Russell could only have got a maximum of 3 points from the phone vote, and Holly could only have got 1 or 2 points.
If Holly is in the dangerous mid-table position next week, she will definitely need the votes to get through. If she does get through then I think Anita needs to be worried.
It's been confirmed that Robbie will be doing the Samba - he could well be bottom of the leaderboard but he has been in dangerous positions before and I think the British public will keep him in. People generally seem to be warming to him, and I think he'll be doing well in the phone votes.
Alex does seem to be improving (although she was overmarked on Saturday) - I think she'll get a Latin next, which considering she has Salsa, Samba and Charleston left, could be difficult for her, although she did well with the Jive and I think her best Latin option would be the Charleston. If she gets a Ballroom then it will be Waltz, American Smooth or Argentine Tango (I think) - I think the AT can be ruled out, no-one has done an AT straight after a Tango. American Smooth would be a good one for her as her Foxtrot was quite good. I think providing she doesn't get really overmarked, she'll be getting the votes in as she seems generally well-liked, it's just James who might cost her.
Anita might need a bad week in order to get through - she was in the bottom 2 with an Argentine Tango that scored 33 out of 40, even Holly didn't match that this weekend (she got 31). I hope she gets a Ballroom and I think the Viennese Waltz would be the best one for her, nice and slow with not much if any fast footwork for her.
Holly needs something like the Argentine Tango or Charleston - something with a bit of character that Artem can create some great choreography for. I'm not a big fan of either of them (don't have much of an opinion in all honesty) but she is consistent if nothing else, she just can't get up there at the moment. She does deserve to stay over 2 or 3 of the others but she needs to raise her game this week and I think it will depend on what dance she has as to whether she can do it.
Sorry for the VERY long ramble
