From Artem's face, sleeping Natalie's heavier than she looks

At least Pasha made the effort.

I'm interested as to what kind of date you turn up dressed like that?

If this is indeed the running order, then Natalie's rumba has to got to be something really special (even given expectations) to start the show, not looking good for Ashley apparently being on second, Rachel might surprise us given how late she's on... and Fiona & Anton closing the show? Hmmm.

(Assuming of course I haven't got it the wrong way round, in which case just invert most of those comments...)

That's not a flattering look for Vanessa. She appears to have morphed into Pat Butcher.

Probably one where his date arrived on his doorstep and plans to go out, have gone out the window.

At first glance, I wondered what Nina Myskow was doing in the line-up

I think it's other way round. Fiona first, Natalie last

Should have put a ponytail on dave too

I can't see that contestant opening the show with that dance, even less than a rumba opening the show (although I can see Natalie opening the show). Especially as it would also mean Julien and Deborah near the end.

(EDIT: Natalie's made a tweet about "bring on that theme tune" - might be me reading too much into it but that'd suggest being up first more)

That would have looked cute.

Last time the show opened with a rumba was the Series 7 semis (although it was Chris & Ola and therefore automatically probably the most rabble-rousing routine of the night). Last time they opened with a waltz was week 11 of Series 6.

I see heel caught in dress potential on Natalie's dress.

I do too.

Last week there were two who were missing off the photos and they went last, but everyone's up there today, so I think it's roughly that order.

The S7 semi wasn't exactly a very high standard and had no fast latins at all so they kind of had to put the most popular couple on first, and S6 week 11 was the first week they did two dances and back then they split it so everyone did their ballroom first then latin. So it's a bit weird that they've gone for a slow dance to kick off given the apparent abundance of fast latins at this stage.

I think they are putting Anton on first in case watching the rhumba is too... Exciting

I think Natalie will be first, Fiona last. It would seem strange to put (one of) the least known celebs on first (Fiona).

Abby,seriously!!

Someone in War Drobe has a sock fetish this year . Artem, Tony, Julien, Abbey...

They put the best dance just before the clash (with X Factor) last week, they'll probably do the same this week, and that's likely to be Natalie.

X Factor starts at 8pm though doesn't it? So unless the photos aren't in running order- Natalie isn't doing the clashdance Looking like Dave or Julien.

Didn't realise they've starting putting the photos in running order, but looking at last week's they are, I'm sure they weren't last year. Guess I'm wrong then, unless Dave or Julien have improved massively (I'm definitely wrong.)

Natalie's dress is stunning;
Dave posture in that pic is already horrible ...oh dear..

And what is Abbey wearing lol

They may not be in running order- you may be right. If it is Dave- I think he's there because it has potential to be this years John Sergeant paso/Michael Vaughan jive...

yippie, return of the lamppost(s)


Seems like Rachel has been given a very thorough transformation (looks like Holly), while the eye make-up for Sophie seems to be long running thing (knowing Vicky, then we have already seen the colour of her dress for next week ).

Who wants to bet that they will have heart shaped peddles this week? To go with the hearts on the judges table.

I bet
