OMG.....

This could be time to make a cup of tea..........or a strong G+T

Can't imagine it's going to be good..........

Well he did half a rumba with Laila anyway.

- OMG

Could Peter Go out this week

We can only hope so, if we all pray really hard a miracle could happen.

No. but I can hope. I switched off radio 5 this afternoon because he was on.

o I will buy more wine and find a big cushion.

AT is considered ballroom and Charleston latin for the purposes of Strictly. (Note that initially they were neither - AT was previously only done in the semi-finals and had to be classified as one or the other when it got demoted, and Charleston was originally part of a "new dances week" with the hastily-ditched Rock 'n' Roll).

That could be tricky. Surely the rumba is all about the man showcasing the woman?

Interesting week ahead for some .
Ainsley might struggle with the speed of jive , but over all the dance suits his persona and he can be himself a bit .
I think Georgia will smash the salsa . Should be just her thing .
Jamelia might struggle with the foxtrot . Can't think it will suit her , but you never know .
Katie doing salsa . Not sure on that . It might be just that bit too sassy for her, plus latin is not Anton's thing . Hopefully it won't be as awful as his last latin with her .Also , her salsa will inevitably be compared to Georgia's and I expect GG's to be sensational .
Peter should be ok with the rumba. It's the kind of thing singers often do with backing dancers in a minor way , so he should make a decent enough attempt at it .
Woops , nearly forgot lovely Jeremy . I think he'll do rather well with a waltz . With his height he should look amazing if he gets the basics right .

Remaining predictions:

Anita- Tango
Carol- Viennese Waltz
Helen- American Smooth
Jay- Paso
Kellie- Samba
Kirsty- Quickstep

Seems very plausible, we will find out in about 18 hours time.

Don't think so - he's very lucky to get the tricky Rumba over with so early in the competition. Along with the Samba, it's the Dance of Death in the later stages.

we can only hope but I am sure the judges will absolutely LOVE it no matter what he does!

The judges are playing games with us with scores, jamelia, Peter and Helen are being over scored wheras Anita, Georgia and Jay are underscored. You say georgia and giovanni are forgettable when on Saturday they upped their game. I don't buy that their forgettable at all.

I'm expecting Peter to be there until the bitter end. I suspect a spot is ring fenced for him because the producers think THE big name needs to be in the final. Plus they are finding it harder to get male celebs on the show and the only way to do it is to give slots to people who have something to sell like Peter with his tour etc. He needs to be there at the end for the producers to show prospective candidates next year that the show is worth all the slog.

I thought Saturday's underscoring was one of the most blatent attempts to play games with the audience and the poor celebs that I can remember. Jay's mark in particular was ridiculous but I had problems with a lot of the marks this week. All it does is make me feel less respect for the judges that they'd play along with the producers plans so ruthlessly.

I had no qualms with len dishing out a 9 to georgia, but she was underneath kellie, jamelia, Peter and Helen wheras she should have been right with them. The production team are treating us like we're 4 year olds which is an insult to us, then again it's probably down to the fact SCD has evolved. I don't think there's any job security with the judges anymore, hence why they are the way they are currently.

Indeed

Ideally I'd like len and Darcey gone, but controller of BBC one charlotte Moore wants them to stay. I wish BBC would stop being so political in their decision making and political in the scripts they give the judges.

What's the choice of judges on Strictly got to do with politics?

Should Len and Darcy be replaced by David, Jeremy or Tim?

Bit confused.

Not at all, I think the judges are upset because of cutbacks and a fear of getting made redundant. That to me is a psychological path of why the judges are the way they are.

Thinking again, I think the rumba could be a very good dance for Peter. Janette did a very sweet, non-raunchy choreography for Jake and I think she'll go that way again, and he should find the movement of the dance easier than Jake did. And the judges tend to be on the generous side to him, so far. What's the most a man's ever scored for the rumba?

Jeremy and Georgia could also have a very good week. I know Natalie will do her best but I think jive is a huge struggle for Ainsley - he's not light and sharp and fast and it's very unforgiving.

Can't wait to find out what Jay has.

Matt and Flavia got 39 in Series 5 Christmas special
Colin & Erin, Harry & Aliona, Patrick & Anya all got 36

For the next elimination I've looked at the odds on oddschecker.com and the odds of these people are shortening: ainsley, jamelia, kellie, Helen and jay, wheras the odds of kirsty, georgia and katie of leaving SCD are drifting out.
