Mark will prove you wrong on Saturday, his Samba looks very promising, and Ian awarded him a gold star on It Takes Two.

Maybe, but he also said in the training vids from last nights he wasn't enjoying it IIRC. Although I know lack of enjoyment doesn't necessarily mean inability to do a good job. I guess we will see tomorrow.

I do think Judy and Scott will survive though regardless. My only hope is that it's not at Steve or Sunetra's expense :-S

If you remove Judy and Scott from the bottom two (and based on the clips shown on ITT last night that's where they belong dance wise) it could be any of the middle group: Alison, Mark, Steve, Simon, Sunetra or Thom and any of them could go out depending on their performance on the night but I hope they save Sunetra if she is in that position because as least she has provided a bit of magic thus far.

Think Sunetra will be safe, interesting to see how Alison fares without the humour of her previous routines.

Totall agree holly b. About as much personality as a piece of cold toast. And he tries so hard to get th dancing right. Tsk!

But without depth or humour, you will still look like a pretty but dim sweater advertisement boy, dancing by numbers.

I think it will be one of the men. The irony is it will be Steve, Simon, Mark or Thom if they mess up badly or Scott if he does much better than before!

(Actually I think Mark and Thom will be pretty safe with party dances.)

Had a butchers at oddschecker and because Scott and alison's odds have drifted slightly of leaving I'd go for Judy and Simon now.

If both Scott and Judy are in this weeks dance off, please could they change the rules and get rid of both of them? It's getting painful watching them try to dance.

I agree that would be a dream ending to this week's dance-off. However, if I have to keep one of those two, it would be Judy with no hesitation.

What I truly fear is a dance-off between two mid-table couples. If that happens, please let it be Couple X vs. Alison/Aljaz and hope the judges have the courage to keep the other couple. Aljaz has had ample time to address Alison's horrible footwork. Yet he either hasn't done so, or it hasn't taken. I've seen no improvement; she's as flat-footed as ever she was in week 1. As someone elsewhere said it's become a case of "same dance, different frock".

Sorry, but you are wrong there. Both Scott & Allison have actually SHORTENED in the betting. Allison WAS 12/1 to go but has shortened to 8/1 best price. Scott WAS 5/2 to go but has also shortened in the betting to a best price 2/1. I still recon Scott is staying in.

Thom's odds are shortening quite a bit today. It's interesting that almost no one thinks he's in danger. This is his first proper, technical latin dance and he'll probably open the show. I hope he's safe, i'll probably throw a vote his way tonight.

I've warmed to Judy over the past couple of weeks, I wouldnt mind if she stayed in till the rest of the deadwood was cleared out.

I think this week is the most open of the lot - three of the middle-tablers (Steve, Sunetra, Simon) have nice, slow Ballroom routines that should theoretically be enough to keep them in, Mark will likely have a rebound vote of some form, the two who should go (Judy and Scott) have the Charleston, often an audience favourite, and it's slightly too early for a shocker (i.e. any of the top four, maybe including Thom in that) to leave. On that basis, I'm going to go out on a whim and say that Alison's going.

No they are not. You can still get 20/1 Thom to go with the worst price being 16/1. He should be safe.

Im pretty sure he wont open the show; He already opened once so I think that this time its going to be someone else.

I hope it's Pixie - she's been given some very good performing slots, and a Samba is a great way to open the show.

I hope so too and besides the samba would be perfect to get the party started....the show will probably open with a Latin and since they consider the charleston Latin on this show, I cant see Judy and Scott opening ...Even Caroline (she already opened in week 1)...so yeah I agree it will probably be Pixie

I hope that happens

My guess is Alison versus mark

Judy and Sunetra is the dance off.

Scott and Mark.

Based on them getting the fewest votes in "Who's your favourite couple?" poll.

So long as Scott's in it he'll be gone, thank goodness. I bet Simon's there too.

You can't go by that, just take a look at "Who is your least favourite couple".

Mark is third on the leader board, and will definitely not be in the dance off this week.

Calling it now Frankie v Simon {or Alison}

Simon and Thom. Both are dull.

Alison v Steve with Alison going.
