Although you can't rule out anything at this stage I don't think Sophie will be in the bottom 2. Both Sophie & Susanna have had their support tested more than once which can't really be said of the others, when 3 of them have been in the bottom 2 already

I would like it to be:

Natalie - she hasn't improved at all over the series and I actually didn't find her dancing that amazing the last couple of weeks

and

Sophie - she's too hit and miss for me

But I think they're too popular to be in the dance off so I'll have to wait and see...

On technique I think Susanna should be in the bottom (but on performance she seems to do well and that I suppose is what sells her well, or has predominantly so far). Maybe from last week, Ash will be there again (unless gets a rebound vote, which Marc never got). I always think Sophie will slip to the bottom two (on her scores) but she hasn't yet, though maybe her time will come (unless she's more popular than I've realised).

I'll go for Susanna and Ashley, but it'll prob be one one of the other girls in place of Susanna.

If the judges put her at the bottom of the leaderboard and Abbey & Patrick have the two top places, then anything is possible (but to me it seems unlikely that Natalie will be lower then 2nd on the judges leaderboard).

Unless there is a massive mess up I can't see a Rumba being scored higher than Natalie's Paso but who knows eh. Sometimes a disco dance can score 40 😉

I think whoever is bottom with the judges will stay there after viewer votes have been combined - the last four people to leave have all been bottom of the leaderboard, and it was also the case last year that starting with week 7 the bottom of the leaderboard person always went (Richard, Victoria, Michael, Nicky, etc). Whoever is second from bottom has a chance of escaping depending on assorted factors such as previous popularity and who's next up from them (Susanna was the first person to be in bottom two with the judges but not be in the dance-off since Dave & Mark in week 6, and it's a similar story last year).

Great stats there cwickham.

I can't see Patrick avoiding bottom two, but no idea who will be joining him.

Very (bitter)sweet to hear Jason (?), Director of Choreography, say we will lose a winner this weekend. I'm bracing meself already

Patricks in trouble I think. Rumba is too static for him & Anya sounds worried.

Oh yeah, she really did, didn't she

I noticed that, and thought it was a good way of putting it - they are all potential winners now.

I think Ashley will be out this week or next. Two dances will be too much with all the other stuff he has on and it sounds like Patrick also has a busy schedule. Two dances will be a bit too much to learn.

Don't forget the swingathon will give the judges the chance to reposition the couples were they want them anyway.

I think we will say goodbye to Ashley this week.

Susanna is my favourite and it's nothing to do with forgiving or not forgiving her, people who vote for their favourites vote based on enjoyment and personality not who gets the highest or lowest score.
