Like to know how often she's gone 2nd or 3rd? Never. She's only gone 4th once and that was in the first show,so she was still in the final half as they were split into 2 groups.”

It's always been as they appeared on the gallery as you're watching them go up live I've found.
So
Patrick
Natalie
Mark
Sophie
Abbey
Ashley
Susanna
Would be the order I would expect.
Ashley's wider than wide pants look like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.
ETA: And having pointed out Ola's heavily strapped knee on the show discussion thread, maybe they already have

Susanna's performance slots
Week 1 (Friday show) - 4th of 6 couples
Week 2 - 1st of 15
Week 3 - 10th of 14
Week 4 - 13th of 13
Week 5 - 10th of 12
Week 6 - 11th of 11
Week 7 - 5th of 9
Week 8 - 8th of 9
Week 9 - 1st of 8
Week 1 (Friday show) - 4th of 6 couples
Week 2 - 1st of 15
Week 3 - 10th of 14
Week 4 - 13th of 13
Week 5 - 10th of 12
Week 6 - 11th of 11
Week 7 - 5th of 9
Week 8 - 8th of 9
Week 9 - 1st of 8
I've said this before, but it's not Susanna's fault that she's getting good slots. It's the producers who decide the running order, not the celebrities. She shouldn't be getting hate for something she has no say in, it's not fair.
Susanna's dress well above ankle's so nowhere to hide with the feet - wish they had a standard lengh for ballroom dresses on the show

Ashley was second last week wasn't he?
some prefer to actually go earlier because of nerves but once it gets down to 7 couples running order is not as important IMO

No she hasn't she has been
Week 1 4th of 6
Week 2 1st of 15
Week 3 10th of 14
Week 4 last of 13
Week 5 10th of 12
Week 6 last of 11
Week 7 5th of 10 (closest she's got to first half when not 1st)
Week 8 8th of 9
Week 9 1st of 8
Week 10 looks like last of 7
She's on her 3rd last dance, Mark has never been last. In fact he's the one consistently in the first half so she can go in the last half.
My point is it's not fair.

Yes and she PERSONALLY works it out with the producers - and how do you know Mark's position is decided against Susanna - Mark might go in first half to enable Abbey to go late you dont know - grow up the producers work it out not the celebs so why moan about the celeb direct it were it should go
Disappointed that S&B aren't looking more Captain Von Trapp and Maria.
I was hoping for something more iconic - http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/...45_634x347.jpg

Kevin really should wear long socks... the three inches of bare calf between ankle and raised trouser leg looks dreadful

I'll eat my hat (which I do not own) if Patrick and Natalie aren't at the top of the leaderboard.
Seems like Susanna is indeed last, so perhaps a turn around in performance on the dress rehearsal (then again, gapping get's you 10's from the judges
) or a BBC conspiracy 
Poor Ashley, the rumba is a hard dance and his slot (after a energetic salsa and especially before a manic ending) might mean that he is forgotten about completely.
Who will the judges save (i.e. put on top of the leaderboard)? It will be impossible to call on the night, which of the top 6 is going to be in the dance off (especially because Mark will be 7th, so they will be in direct competition with each other without roadblocks in their way).

So was I.
The nightie hides her feet well, but could be a trip hazzard.

From traning vids yes will agree re Patrick but not Nat because to me it is not As. As for gapping you can't tell from rehearsal as it could well be ok on the night - not like technique - feel sorry for Ashley too from rehearsal pics looks a proper rumba, whereas I think Abbey will get away with the disco salsa from what I have seen whilst good disco is not remotely from the music to the dance like a salsa. I hope Sophie gets over her skippy action
I like everyone left even Mark

Blame wardrobe, Ashley's and Sophie's customes are (trip) accidents waiting to happen.

Wish she'd work out with the producers her frocks
She comes off worse in that department than some of the others
