Well, for once, could it be that the two worst dancers end up in the dance-off? I just would like to see Judy directly pitted against Scott and what the judges would make of it. Pretty please?
Next Elimination - Any Ideas

That's interesting. Immediately when I saw him I thought he was an empty vessel but he has shown a lot more over the last two weeks. I quite like him now. Just shows how differently people see things!
I think Mark or Simon will keep hitting the bottom two and it is just a case who is there with them. Mark seemed really poor in the dance off, missing a lot of steps, and if he comes up against someone reasonable he might go out next time.

He was great this week, the Charleston really suited his personality and he certainly played the part of the "cheeky chappy" well.
I think candidates for bottom 2 in the next few weeks will be Simon, Scott, Judy Mark and Alison. Whoever is up against Scott in the dance off will live to see another week, that's for sure.”

Don't you find the idea of Judy surviving a dance off A Thing That Must Happen?

I am sure that Mark will be safe on Saturday because he will get the sympathy vote after being in the dance off.
Plus he is a likeable guy, and there are several who are much worse. I hope that it is either Scott or Alison who leave this week.
i hope mark is safe, i didn't think he deserved to be there on merit, and i think he comes across as a genuinely nice bloke

In any other year, maybe. I am expecting that at least Pixie, Caroline, Jake, Frankie, Steve and perhaps even Alison have more audience votes then him. Difficult to base on social media, but even with probably his best dance yet his facebook likes are lower then Mark and Sunetra. For now, it seems that even his best dances aren't rated highly (for comparison, Sunetra got almost 10.000 likes for her AS, while Thom is not even on half of that for his foxtrot).
I think the number of suggestions shows how difficult this is going to be to predict. Scott and Judy would still be the precentage call because you know they will actually go if they are in the bottom two. I presume in reality it can only be Anton votes keeping Judy out of the dance-off. Hard to know why anyone is voting for Scott as leaving aside the awful 'dancing' he appears to have about as much charisma as a bank manager.
If there is to be a shock I would go with Steve who tries very hard but doesn't seem to have much natural talent beyond the beefcake.
Personally, I hope Thom isn't drawn into the bottom two as I think he is consistently improving his performances. If he picks up on the technical side he could be the one to challenge the four favourites.

To be fair, you cant really gauge someone's popularity based on Facebook likes..............I dont recall Mark or Fiona getting that many likes last year but they were immensely popular with the public; especially the former.

Perhaps, but if you see how Jake is doing then you can probably say that he is the most popular man in the competition. If you take more criteria (like the ds poll on this forum) into account, I would say that Caroline is also very popular (or at least has a constant fanbase).
I'd say Judy is safe for the time being- Tim's elder statesman vote will now go to her. Scott must surely be slowly waining- him and Alison must share the "fun" vote, but I think, in a push between the two, Scott has more fans than Alison.
Thom and Mark are splitting the "hunk" vote and again I think Thom edges there- Simon will get the bounce Kimbot got in her series being in the bottom two early on. Sunetra I think has plenty of fans remaining, so I'd say Mark and Alison are the two most at risk (we saw that with Mark) but of course it depends who they're up against in the bottom two...

If she is in next week's dance off with Scott then I think she'd survive but I can't see her beating anyone else in a dance off in all honesty.
Is the Scottish vote keeping her in?
Judy only survived not being in B2 this week because they hinted her sons would be in the audience next week AND people vote for Anton. It should be Scott that goes off next week, then Judy, then Alison, then Steve and then anybody's guess.

To be fair, She did bravely throw herself at Anton, which would garner quite a few votes for sheer chutzpah.

And she's battled through three weeks of being rubbish to the point where she seemed actually 'in' that dance. That's very hard to do. Kind of big spirited. I didn't vote for her but she cheered me up

Absolutely not! People in Scotland do not just vote for anyone who is Scottish! I think she appeals to a wide variety of theStrictly voting public.

I know what you are saying, but I recon it will NOT be Scott. He will not even be in the dance off. Neither will Judy.
