Gosh - Week 5 (cue 5 shocked faces).
This year raced the fastest ever for me to Strictly going live again and now Strictly itself is racing in the fastest ever like a meteorite!!

OK who is going to predict first...

Surely a girl is going this week - surely

OK your highest, lowest B2 and going...

The dances and songs are:

Ainsley and Natalie are Jiving to Bill Haley and the Comets Shake Rattle and Roll
Anita and Gleb are dancing the Tango to Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition
Carol and Pasha dance to the Viennese Waltz to Seal’s I’ve Been Loving You Too Long
Georgia and Giovanni Salsa to Sylvester’s You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
Helen and Aljaz Quickstep to Diana Ross and the Supremes’ You Can’t Hurry Love
Jamelia and Tristan are dancing the Foxtrot to Celine Dion’s Because You Loved Me
Jay and Aliona are doing the Paso to Bon Jovi’s It's My Life
Jeremy and Karen are dancing the Waltz to Elvis Costello’s She
Katie and Anton are dancing the Salsa to Michael Buble’s It Had Better Be Tonight
Kellie and Kevin are doing the Jive to One Direction’s One Way Or Another
Kirsty and Brendan are dancing the Viennese Waltz to David Gray’s This Year’s Love
And Peter and Janette are dancing the Rumba to Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud

Love these threads op.
Judging by the dances that the couples have,
Highest scorer : Aliona/Jay or Anita and Gleb

Lowest scorer : Ainsley and Natalie

Bottom 2 : Jamelia and Kirsty

Going home : Kirsty.

Funny Edy...me thinking this could be the bottom 2 too...but gotta feeling for some reason it might be suitcase time for Jamelia...

gosh, a toughy this week!

Top: it could be ANY of these - Jay/Aliona, Anita/Gleb, Helen/Aljaz, Kellie/Kevin

Bottom 2:
Kirsty and Brendan
Jeremy and Karen

Eliminated:
Jeremy and Karen

Not if she's there with any of the duffers ( carol, Ainsley, Kirsty)
The only way she can leave is if she's in the bottom 2 with Peter, Helen, Georgia, Anita, Kellie. ....

Top: Helen (though I'm not ruling out Peter doing the Ed Sheeran video and the judges going mad for it).
Lowest: Ainsley
B2: Ainsley and Kirsty
Going: Ainsley

Carol should have a sweet dance to a good song so is probably fine. If she's not great, voters might decide she has done as well as she can and might not vote this time, and I think she'll go against anyone in the b2. But my guess is that Ainsley in a fast dance and Kirsty will have less support.

Highest Scorer: Helen & Aljaz
Lowest Scorer: Ainsley & Natalie
Bottom Two: Ainsley & Natalie vs Kirsty & Brendan
Booted: Ainsley & Natalie

Highest: Helen & Aljaz and Jay & Aliona
Lowest: Ainsley & Natalie

Don't think we can underestimate georgia really.

Hi Edy.

I think the judges scoring and who goes is a law unto itself this year and I'm not sure they'd save Jamelia over Kirsty (though their over scoring of Jamelia currently suggests they might unless their 'shielding' of her has served its purpose by week 5).

I find it hard to predict from the dances who might be marked what. I suspect Jeremy will remain bottom as I can't see him earning much more than a 4 from Craig. I don't think he will be in the bottom 2 though as he and Karen seem popular with the public.

Bottom two could be Jamelia and Kirsty because they have been there before and may not do well with the public vote. Carol could be there this week as well. It's too close to call.

Highest Georgia and Giovani
Lowest Jamelia and Tristan
Bottom 2 Jamelia and Tristan and Jeramy and Karen
Out Jamelia and Tristan

Top: Kellie & Kevin

Bottom: Carol & Pasha

Dance-off: Georgia & Giovanni V Kirsty & Brendan

Eliminated: Kirsty & Brendan


Not saying Georgia should be bottom 2 btw, just that I can see a 'shock' dance-off for someone coming and I suspect that she may not be as popular as some of the others. Jamelia back in the bottom 2 with a ballroom routine wouldn't be a great surprise though.

Top - Helen & Aljaz
Bottom - Ainsley & Natalie
Bottom Two - Kirsty & Brendan vs. Carol & Pasha
Out - Carol & Pasha

Hope Georgia is safe

Don't buy that statement that georgia is unpopular at all, in actual fact she's had some very praiseworthy tweets, so I'm afraid your wrong on this.

Bookies odds are suggesting a kirsty exit:

Highest: Anita & Gleb

Lowest: Jeremy & Karen

Bottom Two: Jamelia & Tristan, Kirsty & Brendan

Eliminated: Kirsty & Brendan

I'd say that's more like it.

By the way these are the winners odds and georgias odds are shortening:

Tweets don't always translate into votes though....

I didn't say Georgia was unpopular, but she does tend to get a bit overlooked compared to Jay, Peter, Helen and Kellie - so I wouldn't be that surprised if she slipped under the radar a bit. Let's not forget Abbey Clancy and Caroline Flack both did a dance-off early on in their respective series, so you can bounce back from it anyway.

Its just an opinion anyway, and the more I think about it the more I can see Jamelia slipping into the DO again actually. I think Kirsty will go next though - but we said that last week!

I would be very interested to hear how you know this for certain.

Highest Helen and Alzaj
Lowest Jeremy and Karen

Eliminated Jamelia

Going for the semi traditional 4th danceoff shocker 😃
