As a Victoria fan I think her time has come, but you never ever know with Strictly.

Bringing my thoughts over from the 'predict the scores' thread:

I think this week will be when we start to see the least popular of the 'favourites' in the bottom two, probably against one of the lower tier. I think that will either be Kimberley, as she's been there once before, or Denise simply because it feels inevitable to me.

As for the lower-tier - I do not think Nicky will have a bounce in him, as we're at the serious stage of the competition, the time for sympathy votes is over, and he's simply not as good as some of the others - even if he does score well with the charleston he is likely to be nearer the bottom of the leaderboard anyway. If Victoria ends up at the bottom of the leaderboard again, the public may not choose to save her from last place for a second week running, though.

So I'd be surprised if the dance-off wasn't Nicky vs any of those three.

I have a horrible feeling the curse of the samba will strike Dani & Vincent. A few others have very strong dances - tango, paso, AT - and while popular, I think Dani may fall through the cracks, especially since she's dancing the least lucky latin dance of all - the samba.

Of course I may be being paranoid lol.

I am hoping that Kimberley gets a lot of votes after her shock bottom two only two weeks ago. I think that people thought that she was safe so did not vote for her that week.

I will be voting for Kimberley this week, I would love to see her in the finals or at least the semis anyway!

I think this is the week Victoria will finally be in the bottom two. She's not looked comfortable out of hold and has struggled even more with the latin. I think her Salsa will see her bottom of the judges' leaderboard and I'm not sure she'll get quite the numbers voting for her this week as have voted for her in the past. I've voted to keep her in up until now but wouldn't want her to stay ahead of the top 4 (Denise, Dani, Louis and Kimberley). Thus I'm not sure I'll vote for her tonight and I doubt I'm alone in feeling that.

I'm less sure as to who'll join her there. Probably Nicky, though Kimberley has to be vulnerable. Good point though about Dani and the Samba. Nicky could do quite well with the Charleston, while Dani may have a relatively poor week with the Samba. Thus it wouldn't be too surprising if Nicky were to finish ahead of her on the leaderboard and it could be a real test of her support.

If pushed though I'd go for Victoria and Nicky.

Would like the bottom two to be the two worst dancers
BUT being SCD I don't really expect that to happen.
Victoria has propped up the leaderboard for weeks but has never been in the dance off
Nicky and Lisa (although I love her performances) are the others
So I hope VP and Nicky with Victoria to go
But I'm not holding my breath.....


No way should Nimble Kimble be in the bottom two
I'd like her to go all the way....with Dani......and any of the rest

bottom 2 any one of the following

Nicky, Victoria or Lisa

with Victoria going

surely Victoria cant survive another week

I too think this week could be the start of some interesting dance off`s if the general views towards the better dancers happen.

Kinda more looking forward to a controversial elimination than the actual results

The judges have to eliminate based on the current dance and not the previous ones so anything could happen

hope: nicky and michael, with nicky to go (although michael should only last a week longer...)

Want - Lisa -v- Denise (nothing against, Denise, just want Lisa gone)

Think - Victoria - v - Nicky (with Victoria going)

Really Don't Want - Michael - v- Denise/Dani/Louis or Kimberly (as Michael will go)

Nicky and Victoria- Victoria leaving.

Hoping
Lisa and Nicky

Expecting
Nicky and Kimberly

Leaving
Nicky

Judges bottom 2. Nicky and Victoria.

"Sunday's" bottom 2? Nicky and Kimble?

Nicky to go.

Would agree with Nicky and Victoria, with Victoria leaving. Nicky to be saved as the producers would want to keep the Westlife demographic watching.

Don't expect to see Victoria leave any time soon.

Victoria and Nicky, and i hope Victoria will leave

Kimberley and Lisa with Lisa to go

I won't and I don't. I think Brendan's had enough, though, poor bloke.

I think the only ones safe are probably Denise, Louis, Lisa and Victoria.

Victoria will get the bottom place panic vote and Denise will top the leaderboard, so they're both safe and I think Louis and Lisa are topping the public vote.

So I think two of Kimberley, Michael, Dani and Nicky will be in the bottom 2 with Kimberley the least likely to leave and Nicky the most likely.

I would like the bottom 2 to be Nicky and Lisa, but I think it will be Victoria and Kimberley.

I believe the public learnt their lesson where Kim is concerned and won't take her support for granted anymore. I reckon it'll be two from Victoria, Nicky, Dani and Michael.

I think people are still underestimating Lisa's level of support AND her Rhumba.

Especially as with a Barbra Streisand song they may be going for former Richard voters

I'm hoping Lisa and Nicky, although Victoria could be there as well if she has run out of the olympic goodwill. I fear for one of my faves though, Michael or Dani, they would be saved if coming up against any those 3, but not against the Dreaded Denise...

Hoping
Dani and Victoria

Expecting
Victoria and Nicky

Leaving
Victoria

I would like Denise to go as her ladette behaviour infuriates me. However I know she won't go even if she's in bottom two. Time for Victoria to go she jus has not improved. I think that Kimberley and Lisa may be in bottom two. Loving Dani and Vincent
