Oh well, if she gets the waltz, I dont think she will be in the bottom 2 though.
Who is going to leave then? Everyone is going to raise their game.

I think it might be a good week for Holly. Paso is all about body shaping and for the woman, using arms and hands. If ever there was a dance for her, it'd be this one I would have thought.

Think Holly will go especially if she doesn't perform a dance that needs to be acted.

Based on previous dances Harry I'd say has the worst draw out of the lot but don't think that will matter.

Chelsee and Jason will probably be fine with their lots. Chelsee seems more up for the Jive and her Swingathon was good. Jason has a very acting lead dance with the American Smooth to Singin' in the Rain

Alex and Robbie I'd imagine will have Waltz and a Quickstep respectively. Robbie would have a problem with the V.Waltz but think he could muster a good QS.

Even if you assume rational voting and marking reflecting teh dancing quality , it depends what the opposition is doing. Ola, Pasha and Aliona will be choregraphing for votes., some dances lend themselves to story, some music fits dances and story and particular vote friendly moods (like comedy) Holly needs music and a routine that scores - doing something thats straight or nice or dull strongly can't get over the limitations of the script she's given and much of that (song, dance choice, choregraphy,, running order, costume, isn't in her control

Its all getting a bit predictable. The running order will almost certainly have Holly and Robbie second/third. Holly needs to get into the top 3 or get past someone above her in the vote. Her best chance either way would probably be a funny Charleston (if Artem can write funny) but if she's being given a paso thats a much less vote friendly dance with much lower average and top judges marks. An AT would give her a chance, but this is a mountain to climb.

I think all the men will be safe this week - Harry's just safe, Robbie's back in ballroom so it's going to look like huge improvement, and Jason will never have a better chance to shine than an AS to Singing in the Rain.

The question is whether it's Chelsee or Alex who'll join Holly in the b2. There's no way of knowing. Both dances seem likely to suit them (if Alex does have a waltz). Song choice is going to be all. As I'm a fan of Chelsee, Shrek worries me.

Alex & James - American Smooth (Twitter)

Alex has just Tweeted they are doing the American Smooth this week,

Quite surprised they are doubling up on dances. it's still a ballroom and she should be fine.

Oh nice, she wont go, she will definetely be safe I think. I still think that Holly will find herself in the bottom 2 again but with who I wonder .
Surely it cant be Chelsee or Harry.

If Robbie has V.Waltz he will struggle like mad if not it will be fine. We'll just wait and see

Yet another re used piece of music then.......... Christine Bleakley and Matt did their AS to Singing in the rain.

There is a bit lack of imagination and research going on this year!

Ooh, I hope they do their paso to this! Is this just wishful thinking, or have there been rumours or tweets?

If anybody missed this brilliant dance on SYTYCD, here it is: Matt, Luke and Lee - Paso

Sorry Peeve - just wishful thinking on my part. At the rate Artem's going they will probably be doing a Paso to 'You've got a friend in me' from Toy Story

Dressed as Woody and Jessie!

Oh no! Is there a cure for this? Will Brandon dance with Artem this week?

Jason - AS
Harry - Rumba
Chelsee - Jive
Holly - Paso
Robbie - VW
Alex - AS

Be careful what you wish for ......

Guess Alex will get the short straw and be first up, with Jason last in the running order. They'll want as much space as poss between two Am Smooths.

Potentially a great week for Chelsee. Jive is going to be a lot more entertaining than Rumba.

Hope Holly & Artem have decent music and do a great Paso. Robbie will look okay doing VW and he has great support, as, I assume, does Alex. Tough week.

Oh I was joking! I never realised someone had actually done this!

Without ties and normal scoring (in this case probably: Jason, Chelsee and Harry in the top 3 in that order), Harry will be certainly save and Chelsee a near lock (assuming Robbie comes last with the judges and Holly has the least audience votes).

This is an opportunity to use songs from the classic Hollywood
Musicals, but I'm not holding my breath for them to use more than one.

Sorry but I cant find a post that says that Robbie is definately doing a VW where do we know that from ??

Actually, I think it might be one of her worst dances. The paso needs lot of attack in the moves, something that Holly does not have.

Then again, Artem is a smart choreographer (the Jive was reinvented as something else just to avoid the kicks and flicks) so he might pull something out of the box in terms of the routine (for instance an Alex style paso).

Twitter , hope its right . Sorry if not
