She really was woeful last night and with the standard of dance so much higher tonight, I seriously think she could be out, unless she conquers her nerves.

No, she was terrible but Johnny was dire and Dani was pretty useless too.

I think Victoria will get another chance. She has no natural talent but she's a trier - and she is beautiful. GBP like beautiful and they like medals too.

would you vote for her ? I wouldnt and I quite like her...

She might well be out!

Victoria, Johnny and Jerry are the 3 weakest so far. By coincidence all 3 will be doing ballroom next week so all will depend on their ballroom.
At this stage my guess would be Johnny out first.

With shorter heels and an elegant waltz, she might scrape through in 3rd from bottom place, escaping the dance-off by virtue of the public vote, who will want to see her do better and will give another chance.

I think its unlikely, but if she does go there will only be one person to blame and its not her.

I never vote.

I think you're right on this one. That's how I'd predict it.

Ah dont say that! A whole series of just seeing snippets of Brendan

Even if her ballroom lets her down next week, I think the Olympic glow will get her through to the next round. I hope so, because I like her and want her to do well. Her cha-cha started well, but she went to pieces when she forgot the steps and never got it back.

I think she shows more promise than some of the others (Johnny and Jerry in particular) but she lacks musicality and is not a natural performer, so she may struggle to compete against the more natural dancers for the public vote.

She's got the Olympic factor, that'll get her through a week or two I think, it's not all about the dancing.

And I think she'll do a decent ballroom, and it'll get generously marked.

I think she's getting a lot of unfair criticism for last night - she forgot the routine, and Brendan was trying to make up stuff he could guide her through. But there's not much you could do with a mind blank.

I very much doubt it. I think she'll last at least a few weeks.

The bottom of the table is quite cramped. Of the people around her, Johnny and Jerry are going to be pants whatever and Michael and Nicky have Latin. Apparently Michael has a JIVE. If she doesn't leapfrog most of them (and probably Fern and possibly Richard) I'd be very surprised. They'll also save her in the dance-off over just about anyone else in the bottom half of the leaderboard bar Nicky.

Unless she decides to forget the entire routine again, then anything's possible.

I doubt it. There aren't a lot of naturally talented contestants this year (only DvO, Dani and Lisa have shown any so far) and it'll be easy to pick the medal winners out of the bottom two. Especially when the Johnny's, Jerry's and middle-of-the-road-guy-who-dances-with-Erin's of the Strictly world are still hanging around.

Regardless of where she finally ends up after both dances, I think she's still got that "post-Olympic-High-Vote" from the GBP. It may not last long (at least certainly not as long as I perhaps initially suspected), but it may just be enough to keep her safe for a week or 2.

Harsh as it sounds, her emotional state probably wont help her either. I think she's easily going to be the most emotionally fragile of the lot, and I get the feeling the GBP will tire of it fairly soon.

Of course, if she is indeed that emotional, I think an early exit would be the best thing for her. I can't imagine (potentially) 3 months of this will do her any good.

I don't like the looks of her, I don't think the public will be voting for her really.

She'll never go first in a month of Sundays.

She will get

The 'Awwww she's in the bottom spot' Vote
The 'Hahaahha lets vote for the bottom couple' Vote
The 'Should ahve been better lets give her a chance' Vote
The 'OMG Olympics -YAY' Vote
and The 'I actually quite like her' Vote

Jerry/Johnny will likely be the bottom two, possible Richard or Fern too.

I really like her. She's the one i'm most interested in seeing the progression of (Lisa too).

I dont think so and I would be very to see her go , the first 39 seconds showed she could dance

now she needs to learn to perform and I expect she will get much better

I would be very sorry to see her go first

But we'll see her Ballroom first won't we before we vote for the first time?
Maybe she can push herself up the board next week and possiby some that danced well this weekend won't perform as well in either their Latin or Ballroom next weekend.

Yes we will see her ballroom next week.

And yes its likely that some will perform better next week than this week, most in fact as they wont be quite as nervous.

As far as the leader board goes, there is always potential for it to change but in general I have a feeling that we will see more or less the same leaderboard next week as this week. I think msot people will perform round about the same level and ahve similar scores, but I also think Jerry and Victoria might bring themselves up a tad, so possibly there will be the odd change here and there. But i think the top lot will still be the top lot, the middle lot will still be the middle lot, and the bottom lot will still be the bottom lot.

I think it'll depend on whether she seems to be enjoying it or not; at the moment she seems completely overwhelmed emotionally.

I've read they are putting in massive hours training ... maybe they are training too hard?

I think Michael might struggle with the latin to come.

I think the general consensus is that the dance was a mess - but the first third or so showed she had real potential. And I think she got the biggest cheer of the introductions tonight. We'll have to wait and see what next week brings but I'm pretty sure she'll get voted through - she's clearly emotionally fragile and the public will (rightly) sympathise.

It will not be Brendan's fault either, it seems it was a mistake that put her off and then nerves. Brendan has been tweeting a lot tonight and said they had four perfect run-throughs in the reheasals at the studios - he seems to be very supportive and extremely proud of her, which should help - that and a ballroom dance next week showing improvement will hopefully keep her in:
