This looks about right, I could imagine it.

1. Georgia and Giovanni - 38 (9,9,10,10)
2. Jay and Aliona - 35 (8,9,9,9)
3. Anita and Gleb - 33 (8,8,9,8)
Helen and Aljaz - 33 (7,9,8,9)
5. Peter and Janette - 31 (7,8,8,8)
6. Kellie and Kevin - 30 (7,8,8,7)
7. Katie and Anton - 28 (6,7,8,7)
8. Jamelia and Tristan - 26 (5,7,7,7)
9. Jeremy and Karen - 19 (3,5,6,5)

having just seen , the dance training for Anton & Katie , on it takes two ,
upping my scores for them to 9.5's

Considering the fact that I'd be ecstatic if Katie broke the 30 barrier with a Latin, if she actually gets even one 9 I may very well pass out.

Surprised how low people judge Helen (some not all) and how high they rate Jay.... Slightly tunnelled vision.

Aljaz is a brilliant ballroom dancer and think he will test Helen with this routine.

Georgia and Giovanni this week for me! 40?

While I think the real reason is somewhat different, I do believe that it might depend on her nerves. If those hold and she executes those heal leads well, then it might be 36 minimum (however, if she doesn't then a repeat of the rumba is possibe).



That seems a bit high, though I do wonder if they will compare it (unfavourable?) to Peter's Charleston.

In any case, I hope that we get to see Helen, Jay and Katie do the Charleston to even the odds (it's a easy audience points scoring dance; might shift the momentum in one of the next weeks).

Like to change my scores
1) Georgia & Giovanni 9,10,10,10 = 39 (overmarked)
2) Jay & Aliona 9,9,9,10 = 37
3) Helen & Aljaz 9,9,9,9 = 36
4) Kellie & Kevin 8,9,9,9 = 34 (overmarked to save her being in the B2 again)
5) Anita & Gleb 8,8,8,8 = 32
6) Peter & Janette 7,8,8,8 = 31
8) Katie and Anton 6,7,7,7 = 27
9) Jamelia and Tristan 6,7,7,6 = 26
10) Jeremy & Karen = 5,6,6,6 = 23

Ones in bold I have changed

I probably got this thread all wrong. I thought we're supposed to predict how the judges would score each couple with the assumption that they will all do well.

Anita & Gleb: Quickstep 8, 9, 8, 9 = 34
Georgia & Giovanni: Charleston 9, 9, 9, 10 = 37
Helen & Aljaz: Tango 9, 9, 10, 10 = 38
Jamelia & Tristan Samba 6, 7, 7, 6 = 26
Jay & Aliona: Foxtrot 8, 9, 9, 9 = 35
Jeremy & Karen: Quickstep 4, 6, 6, 5 = 21
Katie & Anton: Rumba 6, 7, 6, 6 = 25
Kellie & Kevin: Samba 7, 8, 8, 8 = 31
Peter & Janette Viennese Waltz 6, 8, 7, 7 = 28

Anita & Gleb: Quickstep - 8,8,9,8 33
Georgia & Giovanni: Charleston - 9,10,10,10 39
Helen & Aljaz: Tango - 8,9,8,9 34 (horrific song choice for Tango)
Jamelia & Tristan: Samba - 7,7,7,7 28
Jay & Aliona: Foxtrot - 8,9,9,9 35
Jeremy & Karen: Quickstep - 5,6,6,5 22
Katie & Anton: Rumba - 5,6,7,6 24
Kellie & Kevin: Samba - 8,8,8,9 33
Peter & Janette: Viennese Waltz - 7,8,8,8 31

I understand the point about possible over-marking to save Kellie from the bottom two, but what is the reason for predicting over-marking for Georgia in advance of seeing her or the others dance? Is Georgia in trouble with the voting public? Is their Charleston looking bad in training? Is she wearing a shade of beige or sludge-green again??

Really curious why

Anita & Gleb: Quickstep 8, 8, 8, 9 = 33
Georgia & Giovanni: Charleston 9, 10, 9, 10 = 38
Helen & Aljaz: Tango 8, 9,8,9= 34
Jamelia & Tristan Samba 7, 8, 8, 7 = 30
Jay & Aliona: Foxtrot 9, 10, 9, 10= 38
Jeremy & Karen: Quickstep 5, 6, 6, 6= 23
Katie & Anton: Rumba 6, 7, 7, 6 = 26
Kellie & Kevin: Samba 7, 8, 7, 8 = 30
Peter & Janette Viennese Waltz 7, 7, 7, 7 = 28

I think Kellie and Helen may be in bottom 2

No she looks good from training I just think most Charlestons are overmarked and it is an easier dance to score well.

Jay and Aliona = 9,10,10,9 = 38
Anita and Gleb = 8,9,9,9 = 35
Georgia and Giovanni = 8,9,8,9 = 34
Peter and Janette = 8,9,8,8 = 33
Helen and Aljaž = 7,8,8,8 = 31
Jamelia and Tristan = 6,7,8,8 = 29
Kellie and Kevin = 6,8,7,7 = 28
Jeremy and Karen = 4,6,7,5 = 22
Katie and Anton = 4,5,6,6 = 21

Well, then some people are not good at predicting it on that level. For instance, Bruno has never scored Helen below an 8 and Craig has not done so since week 2 (yet, some people think she will score a 7 from one of them).

Anita and Gleb - 8,8,9,9 = 34
Georgia and Giovanni - 9,10,10,10 = 39
Helen and Aljaz - 8,9,9,10 = 36
Jamelia and Tristan - 6,7,7,7 = 27
Jay and Aliona - 8,10,9,9 = 36
Jeremy and Karen - 3,6,6,5 = 20
Katie and Anton - 6,6,7,7 = 26
Kellie and Kevin - 7,9,8,9 = 33
Peter and Janette - 7,9,8,8 = 31

1. Georgia and Giovanni - 39
2. Helen and Aljaz - 36
2. Jay and Aliona - 36
4. Anita and Gleb - 34
5. Kellie and Kevin - 33
6. Peter and Janette - 32
7. Jamelia and Tristan - 27
8. Katie and Anton - 26
9. Jeremy and Karen - 20
