Well, it's about dancing ability in that the upper middle and top end of the leaderboard are virtually guaranteed to be ok because even coming bottom in the public vote at that stage isn't going to be enough to end up in the bottom two (and even if they did they would be unlikely to be against anyone they would struggle to take out in a dance off).

In a way, for this years celebs, it's a pity there is no Tony Jacklin or Edwina Currie making up the numbers because they all look like they could be about week 3 or 4 eliminees, with a fair wind and favourable dance picks behind them.

DoD has many avid fans so he may stay a lot longer than one might suspect.

I went to a concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic a few years ago and dozens of his fans were camping outside waiting for the box office to open the following morning to buy tickets.

I hadn't heard of him until that point.

Anyway that hasn't stopped me from voting him first out

Iwan first out.

We have our ways!! A half decent IP unblocker, 3 online votes for free!

Oh guys I'm so torn . I know he is twee and annoying , but he's also sweet and cuddly in a Daddy way . Plus my mum adores him (very big factor in my support).
What to do .
No, I'm sorry, family comes first , and my mum's little face if he gets thrown out first will be unbearable , so I want him to stay in for a few weeks .

No way, he looks good on TV, tattoos and his gorgeous hair!

Think it depends on the dances and the partnerships there no obvious first boot this year unlike last year

I agree. With so many couples at the start, no fan base is a killer.


Precisely! And then you can also use different email addresses to open multiple accounts. Where there's a will there's a way and I suspect DOD fans could be pretty determined!

I'm not a fan per say... The idea of him doing a rhumba or a paso with a Saucetrel like Ola or Aliona is the main reason I want him to stay in for a long time!

Jamelia first out

From Hayley

He's very popular in Scotland, I can't see him going anywhere for a few weeks

Anthony could be in trouble for the first boot, I can't see him having a fan base that watches Strictly with no real stand out duffer he could slip out.

No chance.

He is one of a scanty choice of male eye candy this year - which will safely see him through a good few weeks.

If you think you can predict the first out, then why not have a free bet at the virtual bookies? All for fun, no real gambling.

I like that there's no obvious first boot this year, I'm expecting it to be a very competitive series and I cannot wait!!

Daniel. No energy whatsoever, how's he gonna dance?! (I'd secretly love it if he's amazing though, just for the shock!)

I'm going to guess Georgia. She didn't smile when they introduced her at the top of the steps, and I think the nerves might get to her. Plus, she's someone who people will assume is safe and who they won't necessarily vote for. So, unless the judges mark them highly, she could easily be a shock exit.

I voted Jeremy but feel it could be close between him and DOD, i just think DOD maybe more popular and his fanbase will keep him in, a bit like John Sargeant in his series.

I think the DODs fan base will keep him in for a while, so I am going with Carole, based on the group dance tonight, unless she has a good fan base and there are plenty of Pasha votes going her way

I'd vote but I still can't recall who they all are yet just by looking at the poll

Carol and Jeremy are definitely in danger, Daniel would be too if it weren't for his massive fan base.

Daniel definitely.

Yep. Alot coming from Britain to Belfast and then bus and train it to Dublin and cry asylum.
It really saddens me, because it is as obbious as daylight they're bogus yet genuine Syrians are seeking asylum in europe.
The Pakistani problem from Britain to Ireland is at crisis point, our justice minister will have meetings with Tereasa May.

Errrrrrr...wrong thread I think!

Sport people do not always have a good fan base, but Iwan also does commentating, so people may know him. Although decent looking, Anthony seems rather wooden, plus currently injured, so he got my vote.
