1. Harry will suck at the rumba, in the way that a) all men suck at the rumba and b) Harry in particular sucks at dances that require serious passion and/or sensuality.

2. Everyone will blame Aliona for him sucking and claim she tried to make the routine all about her.

3. Chelsee will get three or four tens, thus setting up the Harry vs. Chelsee sprint to the final.

Shouldnt this be in the top of leaderboard, bottom of leaderboard, bottom 2 and elimination thread below?

If Jason manages a routine without mistakes he could be top with Chelsee one point lower or vice versa.

Robby and Ola will be well behind everyone else score wise but get through on sympathy votes - especially if there are any ties further up the leader board.
Unless Holly & Artem pull out a WOW dance I am afraid they will be out as unless they are top or 2nd they will not have enough support to survive unless the dance really engages the public and gains them much needed support.

There's already a thread on this

I think it is too simplistic to say Robbie will get through on sympathy votes alone he was proving quite popular as it was

Jason will do well but make a silly mistake he has plateaued and doesn't seem to be able to better than really good

Harry based on current training videos will be told he looks too effeminate and has not emoted enough

Chelsee may either produce a stunning routine or one that is too disco and either is equally likey

Holly will be told she STILL has not let go enough and will go this week

Robbie will do better back in ballrrom and may produce a good dance as I think he has thr stamina and quick feet to do well in a QS

Alex back in ballroom will get a reasonable result but wont be up with those at the top of the leaderboard

No because two of the three points have nothing to do with top / bottom / elimination and only one sort of does. Also it's a thread to contain any sort of prediction, not just who-places-where or who gets eliminated.

Jive does have bounce, unlike the salsa and cha cha cha

Bruce will try to get people to give standing ovations to virtually anything that moves.

Bruce will make a greater proportion of unfunny jokes to funny jokes

Tess wears a bad dress (hurr hurr rhyme.)

James will get grumpy at the judges when they make negative comments

Harry will return to being Aliona's prop

Kristina will make evil eyes in the background if her and Jason's scores are beaten

Len making "sniff a fart" face at least once when Craig criticises a dance

Bruno splaying himself over Alesha at least once

ALL the VTs will be cheese personified.

Overmarking

-One of the girls will leave us tomorrow and 2 of the girls will be in the bottom 2 . Alex and Holly will be in the bottom 2 and one of them is going home tomorrow.
-Harry rumba looks effeminate(from what I saw) but he does have the hip action.He will have a decent score.
-Judges will overmark Holly so that she finds herself somewhere within the top 3(Chelsee, Harry, Jason)
-I actually think that Jason could have a perfect score tomorrow.
-Chelsee will probably have 2 or 3 10's.
-I think that everyone will raise their game tomorrow, so I expect to see 6 great performances.
-Tomorrow, we will finally have a pretty good idea of who is really popular with the public and who isnt.

Holly will be waving bye bye. Sorry to see HER go but not Artem

Very good,

But you missed out;

Anybody who is anybody at the BBC plus family members and friends, will be in the front row of the audience and will have walked straight in, not having had to queue for two hours in the rain.

Jason WILL mess up

If Harry nails his rumba then I think we could see three 40s (with Jason's Quickstep and Holly's Paso Doble) with Chelsee scoring in the high 30s.

If he struggles with the Rumba then he'll only mange fourth in the leaderboard at the very most.

It doesn't matter how they dance, or how well they interview, what the judges say... Costumes, props, VTs, all that crap is irrelevant. Come hail or shine there will be hate threads for Harry / Chelsee / Alex / Jason / Robbie / Holly. :yawn:

Holly will be great doing the paso- a breakthrough week just when she needs it.

Alex and Robbie will have good weeks, but will probably both be near/at the bottom of the leaderboard respectively.

Aliona's choreography will be criticised by Len...Karen definitely implied on ITT on Wednesday that there wasn't enough content for them to get 10s. Harry may even get criticised for lack of sensuality.

Chelsee will be fab with the jive and may well come top.

What dance is Jason doing again????? American Smooth right? He'll probably be 2nd or 3rd or something.

Unless all the judges have been on mind altering substances, no way will we see more than one 40 this weekend (if that). Holly has as much chance of cr@pping nuggets of uranium as getting a ten from Craig, Harry probably likewise (although the nuggets may only have to be platinum in his case) so Jason or Chelsee are the only ones even remotely in with a chance. I can't see Chelsee managing it unless she's last on the runnig order and Jason has already dropped a b*ll*ck, so the only one I can see scoring a maximum (and that's not as likely as people seem to think) is Jason. I'd say Jason should top the leaderboard if he doesn't louse up followed closely by Chelsee (assuming likewise). Holly may well be third and Harry fourth (or even fifth if the the boot Robbie policy is still in operation), Alex next and Robbie at the bottom.

On the other hand, they could all dance and show all the above to be a pile of cack.

1. Tess will come out in another shocking creation
2. Bruce will fluff up at least a handfull of bad jokes and say 'I clear this place' at least once:sleep:

Then in no particular order:
3. Alex: will be stiff and sexless in the AS, which, in Craig's eyes will be 'as if starting back at the first show'. This will set James off in another ballistic (scripted) state...yadayadayada...score: around 30

4. Harry: rumba won't excite one bit. He'll girate most awkwardly whilst Aliona will flex her body around and make it all about her...which is fine by Harry methinks:sleep: score (probably overmarked by Alicia & Bruno): around 34

5. Jason: ah Jason...once we've recovered from a long-winded and cheesy VT, I believe he can pull of a decent AS...he will mess up some steps...I'm keeping eyes closed for those lifts, but that's due to lack of stamina (which I noticed last week with the Charleston). Anyway judges will love it and mark it accordingly: around 36

6. Robbie will be Robbie the 'ballroom boy'...he'll won't be too messy as he'll be in hold....sorry to say but the cynic in me fears he'll milk the Gary Speed tragedy for what it''s worth...hope I'm wrong scores: around 32

7. Hollie will do a gr8 paso, I think because it'll suit her personality and Artem's choreography is always right up there. I feel the jugdes might see this as a 'breakthrough' perfomance...'finally'...and mark high to hopefully keep her from ending up in the bottom 2. Not sure it will work Scores: around 35

8. Chelsee will make or break this Jive, I truly feel there is no other option. She is lively and bubbly and this dance should suit her to a T. So far nerves have never hindered her dances and if she can keep up with the speed and nail it then be prepared for 'we gots the tens' Hopefully the perfect score, first of the season, but I think probably :39

On tonights performances, it should be Harry going home.
