Hello there dear friends

I must confess to a sense of shock and disbelief that we are here agin - the joys - but my oh my where has this year gone?

OK this thread is in its umpteenth year now...you all know the drill

Fire away whoever is brave enough to open up as I currentlty don't have a scooby...

Highest: Peter & Janette
Lowest: Carol & Pasha
Bottom Two: Iwan & Ola and Kirsty & Brendan
Eliminated: Iwan & Ola

Highest: Peter and Janette
Lowest: Carol and Pasha
Bottom Two: Iwan & Ola and Anthony and Oti
Eliminated: Iwan and Ola

Sorry, I don't know the drill actually.

Would anyone care to explain please?

Hi Jiroos

You simply enter each week on this thread who you think will be the week's highest scorer, the week's lowest scorer, who you think will end up in the bottom 2 and ultimately who you think will be eliminated by the judges

Highest : Peter and Janette
Lowest : Kirsty and Brendan
Dance Off : Kirsty and Brendan v Iwan and Ola
Eliminated : Iwan and Ola

Thanks strictly!

So, just to confirm, we are looking at Week 2's dances and making a prediction by combining it with Week 1?

Highest Georgia and giovanie
Lowest Daniel and kristina
Bottom 2 kirsty and brendan jamelia and Tristan
Out jamelia and Tristan

Highest: Peter & Janette
Lowest: Iwan & Ola
Bottom 2: Iwan & Ola and Jeremy & Karen
Out: Iwan & Ola

well i agree lewis.

i think Georgia could look elegant in a waltz

Highest: Anita & Gleb
Lowest: Iwan & Ola
Bottom Two: Kirsty & Brendan and Iwan & Ola
Out: Iwan & Ola

Highest - Jay & Aliona (ballroom + contemporary background...my expectations are high! )

Lowest - Daniel & Kristina (I think he'll fall to pieces in the Latin...remember the footage from when the pros first met the celebs and the only thing Daniel could do was half-heartedly wiggle his hips? Combine that with an expressionless face for what should be a fun dance, and you've got the makings of a terrible performance!)

Bottom 2 - Iwan & Ola vs. Kirsty & Brendan

Out - Iwan & Ola (I think Kirsty will still be very nervous and may mess up her Latin, but I don't think Iwan will be much better, and the judges will probably want to penalise him from the lack of commitment to training in week 1.)

While I think that Iwan's probably the best candidate for overall bottom, starting at 17/40 to Daniel's 24/40, the idea of a true, Quentin Wilson 2.0 Latin from Daniel is one that I'm happy not to dismiss.

hi Nina, with the bottom 2 i could agree with you, the highest scorer if it would be Jay, it would be a big surprise, but i think Georgia could do well in ballroom.

Daniel could be a dance disaster in latin.

Yes we're working to the model as it will be this Saturday: the scores from both weeks will be combined to give the final leaderboard and show us the highest and lowest scorer. The public then vote and the combo of the public vote and judges leaderboard will determine who is in the bottom 2 and from this bottom 2 the judges will provide us with the eliminated couple following the dance off.

All now crystal clear - thanks strictly!

Voila

Highest: Katie and Anton
Lowest: Kirsty and Brendan
Bottom Two: Iwan and Ola/Ainsley and Natalie
Eliminated: Iwan and Ola

Highest: Anita and Gleb
Lowest: Jeremy and Karen
Dance off: Kirsty vs Iwan
Eliminated: Iwan

Hrm, retract my placement of Daniel, now I've seen which dance he'll be doing. It'll probably be hard to stuff that one up. Oh well, I've made the commitment now to my predictions :P

Oh dear. ..this is a tough one.

Highest : team GG or jay and Aliona
Lowest : Daniel and Kristina

Bottom 2 :Iwan/Ola Ainsley/Nat

Out : Iwan/Ola

Why does almost everyone think that Peter is going to top the leaderboard He has the QS and I don't expect it to be quite good. ..especially given his pro past experience with ballroom on this show. I can't see Craig giving him higher than 6 on that. He's lucky that he got 30 last week because he'll score less than that this week.

Some of us predicted before the week 2 dances were revealed. I'd probably make some changes had I known

Not looking good for Iwan according to most of you...

I must say, I predicted Anita top based on her doing a Waltz, but seeing the dance that she's actually doing (shan't spoil for those who don't know), I'm even more confident.

I agree that Peter will probably not suit the Quickstep; he has problems with hunching, so I'm not expecting a hugely good frame.
