I'm not saying it is but through the social media, press comments etc., Richard doesn't seem to get as much attention.

I'm not trying to say anything against Richard, but in particular of everyone almost because everyone has their own fanbases, and I think there was a chance Richard was easily forgotten over the likes of Lisa, Kimberley, Louis, Johnny, Jerry, Sid, and Dani

I hope it's Johnny Ball. I really don't think he should be in it.

If I was Zoe, I would have told him not to do it. I would hate to see my Dad embarrass himself on National TV.

I think it should be Johnny and Jerry in the bottom two, and Jerry should go.

There are others who are bad, but those were the worst. I know Victoria did badly but she deserves another chance.

I agree with this.

She's in a classic mid-low position, with a lot of popular celebs beneath her. Not saying she isn't popular but she'll get lost in the pack. As long as she pulls out a half-decent latin she should get through it...

i wished Jerry, Anton and Karen leave - but keep Nicky and partner it with Lilia yay!


now seriously i think Richard will be in bottom two along with Dani - Richard going

I think Victoria will be in till at least week 6 due to her popularity and obvious summer success but saying that she will improve by then hooefully

I think Michael with HUGE regret could fall at the first hurdle

And I am predicting a "Gabby, Penny" like dance off between Denise and Dani by week 4/5, really loving the unpredictability of this series already

As long as its not Colin leaving I don't really mind.

Nor me- hoping that he has some sort of viewer vote and won't get knocked out by Johnny and Jerry and Nicky who may all have a pre-existing voting fan base.

I still think Richard is a major candidate for the chop - hardly anyone watches Daybreak so i don't see much of a fanbase there and Danleft arly lst year his dance was OK but no more than that. Probably not the worst dancer there but not that great either. I think Michael or Dani cold join him in the dance off. They all have latin this week so can see some others overtaking them on the leaderboard which will leave them in an even more precarious position.

I suspect Dani will get saved at this stage of the competition if she's in the Dance off.

Agreed

I think Richard, Jerry or Michael may be the first to go

if you apply that criteria, we're going to be very light on SCD contestants in future. Over half have been to stage school which includes dancing. The other half are pop stars or athletes.

Anyone but Jerry or Lisa.

Denise will be in the final three - you can just tell already. I think Michael and Johnny will be in the dance off, with Johnny going.

I agree with this.

worried the Anton fans will keep Jerry in beyond her ability

Jerry & Anton.

Going by the list of dances I would say those who are on ballroom this weekend are in with a good chance of clambering up that leaderboard - latin well that could swing things around significantly

Michael I think has the jive - and that is going to put a lot of pressure on his knee which means that his marks may well suffer.
Those on Cha Cha may well have a better chance of notching up a half decent score that combined with the ballroom could see them squueze through

I do think that Jerry and Anton will find themselves bottom despite the foxtrot - which I think is one of Anton's best dances- is Jerry's support enough to keep her out of the dance off -I don't know

Jerry would be my guess.
Is she very popular ?..I wouldn't have thought so. She's another Nancy, but not so amusing.

Victoria really needs to pull her socks up and forget people are watching this week with her Ballroom to get a high enough combined score taking her out of the 'danger zone' as do Nicky and Johnny.
Nicky will have a Latin, Johnny a Ballroom and I think both will score well in those, as well as having the 20 - 30 and the 50+ voters.

Fern, Jerry and Michael - Ballroom, Ballroom and Latin respectively and hopefully doing well: Fern did ok jiving with Matt in the Christmas Special and she has Artem (as long as he holds back on inventiveness for now!), Jerry should do well dancing with Anton (as long as she actually dances, although sadly she's my least favourite at the moment) and Michael looks supple enough with a great teacher/choreographer to help him.

Without seeing any of them do their 2nd dance yet, I think it might be Jerry and Victoria in the bottom 2 with the Judges saving Victoria.

It's so hard to tell this year which makes it exciting. I think Johnny and Michael will be bottom two with Johnny going.

Nicky was awful but his fans will keep him in.

Going by what I have seen so far, which is a bit unfair, I would say

Jerry
Johnny
Nicky
Michael
Victoria

Be careful with any comment about Victoria. There is a well trained army of Victoria defenders out there who will not allow you to say anything about her dancing other than that it is gold medal standard.

I agree, I really hope she goes, that will rid us of smug Anton too.

That will be killing two birds with one stone.

The only certainty for me is..

the leaderboard will likely change significantly this week end

it will be someone in the middle of the board who will go

*gets ready to vote manically for favourites if they are in the danger zone*

*didnt expect to be doing lots of voting this early in the competition*

I think it will be Johnny.

He can't dance for one, and although I can remember him when I was little, he's been off our mainstream screens for quite some time.
