If this week were to leave everyone having done three ballrooms and three latins, then it should be:

Alison & Aljaz - Ballroom (AS, AT, QS, VW, Waltz)
Caroline & Pasha - Ballroom (AS, AT, Foxtrot, VW, Waltz)
Frankie & Kevin - Ballroom (AS, AT, QS, Tango, VW)
Jake & Janette - Latin (CCC, Charleston, Paso, Rumba, Samba)
Judy & Anton - Latin (Jive, Paso, Rumba, Salsa, Samba)
Mark & Karen - Ballroom (AT, Foxtrot, Tango, VW, Waltz)
Pixie & Trent - Ballroom (AS, AT, Foxtrot, Tango, VW)
Scott & Joanne - Ballroom (AT, Foxtrot, QS, VW, Waltz)
Simon & Kristina - Ballroom (AS, AT, Foxtrot, QS, Waltz)
Steve & Ola - Latin (Charleston, Jive, Paso, Rumba, Samba)
Sunetra & Brendan - Latin (Charleston, Jive, Paso, Rumba, Samba)
Thom & Iveta - Ballroom (AS, AT, QS, Tango, VW)

For contrast - by week 6 last year seven of eleven couples were balanced 3/3, whereas four others had done more of one discipline than the other, and eight of ten were balanced in 2012. So most of those should be reasonably safe bets.

:will be interesting to see what dances and music they have this week - my brother reckons Franke and Kevin will VW this week to unchained melody cos of her haircut why I dont know - dont think it is halloween enough

love your stats cwickham at a guess think Jake will get paso and caroline a waltz

I wonder if we will see a Halloween Rumba? I really liked Abbey's as an alternative style - was theatrical although the judges not pulling her up on the lift is still annoying! :P

Song-wise: it's probably been long enough to have Phantom of the Opera, Wild Thing or Bat Out of Hell again for a Paso.

For the curious, the only dances never to have been done on a Halloween night are the Foxtrot and Waltz. The most common is the Paso, which has been done eleven times, followed by the Tango with seven and the Jive with six.

Interesting! I was going to query if the Samba had been done because I couldn't recall any but just checked and it has - only once by Russell!

Just brainstorming some ideas for songs we haven't seen before:
Danse Macabre (aka the Jonathan Creek theme) - Waltz
Werewolves of London - Samba
Wild Woman (by Imelda May) - Quickstep possibly?
Magic by Coldplay, although for what dance I can't imagine

I have always liked somebody killed little susie by Michael Jackson for VW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZITKEp888IQ

pity the one killed in Eastenders name was not susie would have been perfect for jake

I'd like to see Jake do a Paso doble to the Eastenders "Doof doofs" on a loop

Hey Lucy is close enough to Susie for them to change the name, no?
Or should we not give the producers ideas just in case?

shhh they might

Can't be any worse than Rikki Lake having to dance to the theme from Psycho !

My Predictions
Alison & Aljaz - American Smooth
Caroline & Pasha - Foxtrot
Frankie & Kevin - Viennese Waltz
Jake & Janette - Cha Cha Cha
Judy & Anton - Rumba
Mark & Karen - Tango
Pixie & Trent - Foxtrot
Scott & Joanne - Quickstep
Simon & Kristina - American Smooth
Steve & Ola - Charleston
Sunetra & Brendan - Paso Doble
Thom & Iveta - Viennese Waltz

Alison said earlier in the week that she'll be flying if she gets through - I know the producers have made the celebs do some odd things these past few years, but having Alison thunder onto the stage in the middle of a Waltz... probably best not. I think we'll see another party Latin (what's left? Salsa?) or a Paso for her.

I thought that was a pretty inspiring song choice, actually!

Maybe an American Smooth and the flying will be the lifts.

Here seems as good a place as any to put some of my many, many, many Hallowe'en music ideas.

CCC - Abracadabra, Steve Miller Band
Argentine Tango - Human, Goldfrapp
Waltz - Dark Waltz, Hayley Westenra
Jive - Spooky, The Puppini Sisters
American Smooth - All Mine, Portishead
Samba - Deeper Underground, Jamiroqui
Charleston - House of Fun, Madness (see here for inspiration/Lovecraftian insanity)
Tango - Somebody's Watching Me, Rockwell
Quickstep - Ramalama Bang Bang, Roisin Murphy (again, inspiration for costume/styling here)
Foxtrot - Witchcraft, Frank Sinatra (well, why hasn't it been used already?!)
Salsa - Cosmic Girl, Jamiroqui
Rumba - The Music of the Night, from The Phantom of the Opera
Viennese Waltz - Illabye, Tipper (would die of happiness if it were used).

I say it every year!!

LAURA BRANIGAN - SELF CONTROL!!!

Paso please for Jake.

Some other suggestions

Animotion - Obsession
Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks
Squeeze - Tempted

I'll jump on the bandwagon. The Strictly producers need to employ us lot, we'd be so much better than the Spice Girls Tangoes and I'm Still Standing on a loop. Possibly.

Foxtrot: Li'l Red Riding Hood (Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs)
Cha-Cha-Cha: Walking With a Ghost (Teagan & Sara)/Scary Movies (Gary Paxton)
Jive: Zombie (Jamie T)/Violent Stars Happy Hunting (Janelle Monae)
American Smooth: I Want to Be Evil (Eartha Kitt)
Viennese Waltz: House of Mirrors (David McCallum)
Charleston: Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead (Glenn Miller)
Paso Doble: Ghost Riders in the Sky (Johnny Cash)
Tango: The Witch Queen of New Orleans (Redbone)

Love these selection

Just thought of another

Puressense - Walking Dead

I wonder if Monster Mash will receive its annual airing?

I'm amazed that Ghost Town by The Specials doesn't appear to have been used.

lol probably will. The BBC love recycling songs. I can already see Alison Hammond dancing the Charleston to Witch Doctor to pay homage to Lisa Fun Time Riley

When really it would be so much more suited to Sunetra. :P
