I'm sure that thought crossed their minds, how could it not? But both reported feeling sick and I think Kellie's nausea was real; Kevin might have said it in sympathy. Not only can things go wrong in a DO but it means also that the public have not voted for her/them. I don't think that's a nice feeling regardless of who the couple is that they dance against.

It's the game player approach. The advantage is in working out the strategy of the other player, in this case the producer's list.

It works on the judges ordering. General ordering is one top half, one bottom as far as it can go. One of the obvious candidates is saved and the highest placed DO couple is called first. That places all below and around them in jeopardy. Focus on the faces, all left are worried and the viewers think it could be any of them. In the second call session the final two are one from the bottom and one from just below the DO already called. Both credible, if Kellie is on DO, why not Helen? Actually, it would need a viewers board that is almost a complete inversion of the judges, possible but unlikely.

Half way through any series, the vote numbers start to pick up and the votes become for who viewers want in the final, and the sympathy votes fade. Kellie was caught out by being positioned high enough to get no sympathy votes. But it does imply she's not clearly one viewers want in the final. She needs to work on profile, expect more remarks pointing out she's also working full days on EastEnders. I get the impression EastEnders producers would rather mnot have "their" actors involved. It's expected by higher management, so it happens but SCD don't get concessions like choosing stories in EastEnders that would give a lighter load.

Mole request thread started for Saturday 14/11/15 - please could you all help keep it on the front page

Thank you xx

Thanks for this weeks spoiler it was Carols time to go. I would have posted my thanks sooner but DS refused to let me log in. It seems to have gone to pot with all the changes.

Don't think kellie is making any progress now and fancy her to leave sooner rather than later now, Helen looks like another possible elimination candidate as she is very stiff in the latin. Anita and georgia are more all rounders and are making big progress in the competition. Helen was nearly in the d/o anyway yesterday.

Helen's face was like thunder during the 'call out' on Sunday night she looked very worried. Perhaps as someone said she is due a DO
She is not a favourite of mine, thought I would like her more, but no I'm struggling.

How did you work that out?

They will all be worried if they have a public vote, being a teacher's pet isn't enough now. It could have been a fluke that Kellie lost a public vote, people feeling she was safe, or she really is not popular.

I don't like her myself, find her a bit fake if I'm honest.
