It's pretty much like this every single week, though. People thought that Jennifer Gibney would outlast him because she was on a show with 7M+ viewers and had a "fanbase"...while "no one" knew who Steve was
The general consensus here was that Sunetra was likely way ahead of him in votes and that didn't turn out to be accurate either based on last week's results

Not necessarily .. Sunetra was lower on the leader board. Probably she's not way ahead but she still could be ahead.
I think Pixie will be top and Steve bottom.
Dance off .. Sunetra vs Steve .. Steve eliminated.

Hee! I'm cutting out someone's face from a tatty magazine and attaching it uggerly with rubber bands to my voodoo dolly. Take that, Wickham
(Austen would be horrified )
The logical analysis says it will either be Steve or Sunetra calling a taxi this Saturday with the the half dozen strong/er dancers there.
I'm honestly not 'sure' though. My head says Steve with the jive but his so far very strong vote will have to plummet...it could end up being Sunetra who has a waltz and although it will probably be good, it may not be good or exciting enough to grab the public who will have some more flashy dances to choose from this week. Also, the public tend to be voting for who they really want to see in the final from now on in....

Steve must be nailed on for bottom of the leaderboard this week, and it's very possible that he'll end up in the dance-off from there irrespective of public vote. (See also Ben's elimination at this point last year.)
Steve will probably be at the bottom based on the training footage. Hope he does a good dance though. I think it will be him and Sunetra in the dance off, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Mark, simon or caroline there. Hell, we could even get a shock Frankie or Pix bottom two showing. Jake will always be safe though.

However based on judges favourites...
Pixie top
Jake, Caroline equal second
Simon and frankie
steve mark and an improved sunetra.... lors knows who goes...”
Indeed. It will depend on how 'poor' or lowly marked Steve's dance will be. If a large quality gap between him and the others many viewers at this stage of the competition I feel will not rally to save him.
Highest: Pixie Trent
Lowest: Steve Ola
Bottom Two: Sunetra/Mark
Out: Sunetra
Contrary to most people on this board, I reckon Steve has got massive public support - I firmly believe he might be topping the public votes each week thanks to his appeal with kids and with Strictly being a family friendly prog at a family friendly time of day so I think he could squeeze another week out of that despite being almost certain to be bottom of the leader board. I think Mark's going to be getting quite low down the leader board now Simon's having a surge and the top girls are showing no signs of flagging, along with Jake on a Latin week, and he'll lose some of his protection against his lower than expected popularity with the public. But Sunetra's lack of rehearsal time will mean she has to go out of those two.
I came close to putting Simon as top of the leader board, since I think that's hope more than expectation, but I think he was looking really good in the training clips - and very sweaty so he's working hard - and I think he could be pulling another stunner this week.
Oh Im worried for Caroline this week I might have to betray Mark and vote for Caroline but anyway
Highest Pixie and Trent Has to be
Lowest sadly Caroline and Pasha
Bottom 2 Caroline and Pasha and Jake and Janete
Out Caroline and Pasha
