In just the same way we all thought Sergeant*, Widdecombe and Myers would make the finals? Jamelia and Katie are the only other people he could conceivably stay in ahead of, and I think the Anton vote will beat the comedy vote.

(* To head off the obvious - I think it's generally accepted now that he would have been in the dance-off not long after he was eliminated)

He has to stay for Blackpool if anyone had told me before Strictly that I'd be voting for Jeremy watching Eggheads and listening to Radio 2 I'd have

Loved the dazed confused looks on the faces of Aljaz, Jamelia, Tristan, Jay and Aliona when Kellie and Kevin announced in the DDO.
they were obviously stunned!

Agree with ^^

Thought Kevin was very sensible and supportive to Kellie when they were in the dance off.

To begin with Kevin and Kellie didn't know who they were up against, so could have been in danger, and he was calm and philosophical.

Suppose it's doing so many dance competitions as a child - you learn to accept fate.

I am not sure he could get to the final but he is the underdog with the judges and, once he is in the dance off they will vote him out. Jamillia and Katie are his closest rivals
, I think.

I wouldn't read too much into this. It may have been a timing issue as they adjusted the odds to take into account Carol leaving and Kellie in the DO. This morning Jeremy is widely available at 100/1 generally with everyone bar Jamelia at shorter odds, and he's 66/1 just to finish Best Male, so hardly threatening Jay's status as odds-on favourite yet.

That's it , I don't usually vote at all but I'm going to vote for Jeremy next Saturday.
I look forward to his appearances and he never fails to make me laugh. I would rather Jamelia, Katie and Kellie all go before him.

Loved the bit on Len's Lens where they showed the close-up of Bruno being an utter sh1t.
Dropping a hint, maybe?

I imagine Jeremy has huge support from Radio 2 and BBC 1 and 2 listeners and viewers and his fellow work mates .

WE saw three of the dancers "singing," in the group dance on Sunday, Joanne in the middle, with Janette and Otlile?

I guess Joanne saying on ITT she'd be singing, we should have guessed it would only be miming during the dance.

I was away for the weekend so have just watched this.

Not only did Jamelia say thank-you but she also gave a beaming smile and a thumbs up sign.

So I wonder why anyone would come on here and post something negative about a contestant when it isn't even true.

I think you are wrong for the following reasons:
1 - While the other two were clearly miming and far from the mikes, Joanne kept her mouth close to the mike;
2 - I recognized her voice (I recognize a lot of people by their voice); and
3 - this tweet:

If it says she sang live it must be live.

Bit late I know but is it me or has this big thank you bit when they are saved just a recent thing because I don't recall many big thank you's like this year previously, the couples would just celebrate then possibly smile thanks at the camera then they would be bathed in red light.

Surely the GBP deliberately put Kellie there to ensure that Carol went.

The first time I remember it happening regularly was as part of the giant Team Cola marketing machine. Then everyone started copying. It's been out of control since about two series back and now if you don't do it then woe betide ye. In the space of a few years it's gone from a nice thing to occasionally do to it being INCREDIBLY rude and ungrateful if you don't.

Nah it's gone way past that. Now if you don't scream it repeatedly, blow a kiss to the audience and give us a thumbs up you don't really want to be there and are eyeing Erin Island

I've thrown a few votes his way ..... just think he is entertaining and a long as it stays that way...fine by me. Plus he is the only 'absolute beginner' left in the line-up...

Another bird definitely...its still 6-3 in favour of them....

Me too, I shall be voting for him regardless of how he does. He is loving it and rehearsing all the time he can. I just love watching him dance.
