Chances are Jamelia will be in the dance-off again. She could obviously beat the two duffers but chances are no matter how bad they are in all likelihood they will push one of the better dancers into the dance-off which would mean she probably goes out.

Maybe, but with both of the duffers are in ballroom this week, so it is probably the best opportunity to eliminate one (can see Jeremy going if Craig gives him a 5).

Otherwise, with them likely in latin again the week after, we will definitely have a shock dance-off in the tower.

This - easiest way to get rid of someone that the judges have been being super critical of is for them to be nice to them!!

maybe Peter or Katie, if Peter doesn't improve very quickly, i can see him being in the dance off with Jamelia or Carol or Katie.

Peter is in actual fact not very popular with online polls, so he could be in trouble. His odds of winning are drifting and odds of being eliminated are shortening. Oddschecker are very good at picking up on trends and that.

Really can't see Jamelia escaping the dance off again. I kinda feel like Carol's time is almost up, whereas Jeremy could keep on for a few weeks yet, until someone good actually goes out. If not Carol then I'd be worried for Anita, she seems popular on here but no idea about the wider public.

God! If Jamelia IS in the dance off .. what will Zoe say to her next week? Is there any precedent for it?
Has any celeb danced off four times?

Really want Jeremy to get a week past blackpool and then bow out with grace on a high note, a bit like mark benton who he sort of reminds me of in the way he brings comedy to strictly but still takes training very seriously. I think Mark was a better dancer but Jeremy isn't "comically bad" imo like Widdy or Dave Myers. He throws his heart and soul into it like Mark did and deliveres great routines.

I think it's Carols time to go. She's kind of sailing through but I don't get much emotion from her.

There are a few who have been there four times, but none have survived the fourth time (so, if Jamelia managed that then it would mean a record).

Can only see her surviving if we have a dance-off between two contenders this weekend, followed by a dance-off between Jamelia and Jeremy/Carol next week (the outrage would plummet the vote for at least one of the duffers).

However, that would mean that Jamelia has to be near the top of the leaderboard........yeah

She'd have to mess up really badly not to go through against either Jeremy or Carol to be fair. I don't think Jeremy will drop into the bottom two yet though, so Jamelia will have to pray that Carol's support dwindles. If she drops into the bottom two with anyone else other than those two I think she's a gonna.

I don't think Jamelia will be in the D/O this time round.

I'm expecting it to be:

Carol & Pasha vs. Katie & Anton, with Carol leaving.

Week after, I think Jamelia back in D/O against a shock contender, subsequently booted off.

I think Carol will survive until at least the Blackpool week. She is hugely popular, as are Jeremy and Katie. I think this week's dance off will be between two of the better dancers who haven't "wowed" yet. My money would be on Georgia and Kellie.

I don't think jamelia will escape the dance-off this Sunday. People really, really dislike her. I read comments on social media after the results show and no one really felt sorry for her; Like at all . I was a bit shocked. People are still holding those controversial comments against her.

I think that carol might not be lucky this time; especially if she does reasonably well by her standards .

With that being said, we could still have a shock bottom 2; my candidates for that are Georgia and Kellie.

I think that Jamelia will get some sympathy votes this week, I must admit I felt sorry for her on Saturday, and the judges were right, she didn't deserve to be there.

I really hope Andre is in the dance off, he has not improved, and seems to be the most unpopular out of all the contestants, if our poll is anything to go by anyway.

I agree. I feel sympathetic towards Jamelia and I'm dead hard, me.

I think that the judges score will protect him this week.

Reckon there'll be a lack of Charleston content, but he'll be high on the leaderboard thanks to "showmanship" and "impressive lifts".

I think it will be Jamelia and sadly Carol this week. Carol's dancing is rather bland and she does not have the comedy factor as Jeremy does. I like them all this year with the exception of Kellie and Peter (and even these two I do not dislike as celebs, just their dancing and demeanor) I never really get why people really care so much who wins and I often hear people say if so and so wins I will never watch againIts a great family entertainment show and yes we all have our fav's to cheer along it's great to have the mix of good bad and middle of the road dancers but although I often cheer on the duffers and have even voted for some of them my real fav's are the good one's who can deliver a wow dance and I don't give a monkey's for past experience.

My all time fav's have been Jill, Kara and Natalie Gumede and this year it will be Jay, so what if they have past experience? I really do not care and besides which I see it as a great disadvantage where the voters are concerned, for me it's about likeability and natural talent and let's face it you can give all the time and experience in the world to our strictly duffers and it would not make a blind bit of difference for the simple reason they just do not have the talent to progress beyond their basic ability.

This year I would not be surprised to see a win for a duffer or a less able dancer, Jeremy or Katie could take the glitterball ....what fun would that be There would be an implosion on here for sure but the world would still turn and we will all be back next year

I'd be quite surprised if Kellie wasn't at or near the top of the leaderboard with what will probably be a pretty neat and technically correct waltz (even if it will probably be twee and a bit dull) and I would've thought she's doing well enough in the votes to escape the DO from there at this stage. I think Helen could be in more danger than Kellie unless the judges protect her (although it probably won't be either of them).

I don't see how Katie is a duffer or less-able in any shape or form. Her ballroom has been great, and I put a lot of the blame for her Latin on Anton.

Craig giving Jeremy a five won't make any difference the way I vote, I shall vote for Jeremy every week until he is eliminated or until he wins

You will find those who are supporting & voting for Jeremy isn't because it's a vote against Craig, it's because we love Jeremy and love watching him dancing each week

Katie and Anton? .. with a QS? .. to 42nd Street?
I think they'll be safe.
If there's a shock couple in the DO .. I'd go for Kellie & Kevin or maybe team GG.
Think the likelihood though is Carol v Jamelia .. Carol out.

I think that Katie is less able than the top 4, her ballroom is pleasant but her latin is diabolical imo, Anton too is less able other than in the ballroom so as a couple I do think them less able though I do like them, I should have included Peter also in the less able as he also could potentially be a winner.

TeamGG?????? with a samba to Gypsy kings, can't see her in the DO

Let's hope Wardrobe have not got it in for Georgia this week. What was that army surplus number all about?

that were Ghostbusters costumes, Lou


but don't you agree with me, she has got a samba song, and Giovanni danced on this Gypsy Kings song in the European Dance competition
