pretty self explanitary here are the songs for a guide
Anita & Gleb will dance the Foxtrot to Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’ as well as perform a Salsa to ‘Feel This Moment’ by Pitbull feat. Christina Aguilera.

Georgia & Giovanni will dance a Viennese Waltz to ‘Runaway’ by The Corrs plus they will dance an Argentine Tango to ‘Tanguera’ by Sexeto Mayor.

Jay & Aliona are going to Charleston to ‘Doctor Jazz’ from musical Jelly’s Last Jam and perform a Viennese Waltz to Bryan Adams’ ‘Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman’?

Katie & Anton are dancing the Waltz to ‘O Mio Babbino Caro’ by Puccini as well as dance the Charleston to ‘Too Darn Hot’ from the musical Kiss Me Kate.

Kellie & Kevin are performing the American Smooth to ‘Let’s Face The Music And Dance’ by Irving Berlin plus they will perform a Rumba to ‘Songbird’ by Eva Cassidy.

Highest : Georgia and Giovanni - judges will protect them for the final.

Lowest : Anita and Gleb - her dances are not great for a semi-final.

Maybe, just maybe, Georgia and giovanni do amazing performances and therefore deserve to top the leaderboard! Stranger things have happened 😏

True.

But I'm meaning that they give her 40 for both dances, even with mistakes. Seeing as they now know her public support isn't that great.

Hang on, they haven't even danced em yet. Where are these overmarked mistakes coming from? Ian W said he couldn't see a single error in her Foxtrot (tho, to be fair, who could see anything past the crockery?)

Just pushing this thread's title to the extreme.

I think they wanted another week of Gleb specials making the news etc so they stirred up the fans to vote more than usual for Anita this week with Craig's 6, thus ousting Helen...

However, I don't think they want Anita to win which means they won't want Gleb and her in the finals pulling focus away from who they DO want to win - and be runnerup (my guess Jay/Katie in either order) and so I think they'll get rid of Anita this week.

I continue to be amazed at the producers' manipulation skills as time goes on... I think they're gonna take over the world one of these days

With all that convoluted thinkin' I'll finally do what I'm supposed to on this thread:

Top: Georgia - maybe tied with Katie, at the start of a big finals push
Bottom: Kellie

Bottom 2: Anita v Kellie
Out: Anita

Highest: Georgia & Giovanni (Over marked by Judges to keep her out of DO)

Lowest: Anita & Gleb (Judges under mark hoping she is in the DO)

Dance Off: Kellie & Kevin v's Katie & Anton

Eliminated: Katie & Anton

I would love that result, but sadly I doubt it will happen, Judges will do everything possible to keep Georgia out of the Dance off. You watch, I can see 8x10's for her this week

Some posters on other threads are saying Georgia is now doing Cha Cha Cha and not AT. Cha Cha Cha's are rarely good dances, might be a spanner in the works for her.

I would have said highest for Georgia if she was doing the AT but it looks like she has the chacha now

Highest : Jay and Aliona
Both of these dances are very easy scoring dances imo. I can see jay getting a perfect score in the VW.

Lowest : Anita and Gleb
Foxtrot. So difficult. Her footwork isn't the best and it's really complex in this dance. I'm willing to bet that this will be her lowest scoring dance of the evening.
Salsa ...could go either way. I don't see it scoring too high.

Bottom 2 : sigh. ....someone has to be there. Katie has 2 excellent song choices and dances this week so I don't think she'll be there......AND the ANTONFORTHEFINAL mantra

Kellie and Georgia

Eliminated : I don't know. ..it could be any of these 2.

Highest Scorer - Jay & Aliona
Lowest Scorer - Anita & Gleb
Bottom Two - Kellie & Kevin v Katie & Anton
Eliminated - Katie & Anton

Hello all The Semi-Finals

Brilliant show last week and this beckons to be the best semi-final ever

Who dares to go first and call it...

Dances and songs (thanks Lorac) are:

◾Anita & Gleb will dance the Foxtrot to Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’ as well as perform a Salsa to ‘Feel This Moment’ by Pitbull feat. Christina Aguilera.

◾Georgia & Giovanni will dance a Viennese Waltz to ‘Runaway’ by The Corrs plus they will dance an Argentine Tango to ‘Tanguera’ by Sexeto Mayor.

◾Jay & Aliona are going to Charleston to ‘Doctor Jazz’ from musical Jelly’s Last Jam and perform a Viennese Waltz to Bryan Adams’ ‘Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman’?

◾Katie & Anton are dancing the Waltz to ‘O Mio Babbino Caro’ by Puccini as well as dance the Charleston to ‘Too Darn Hot’ from the musical Kiss Me Kate.

◾Kellie & Kevin are performing the American Smooth to ‘Let’s Face The Music And Dance’ by Irving Berlin plus they will perform a Rumba to ‘Songbird’ by Eva Cassidy.

Katie and Anton have the best musical choice for my taste. So hope the choreography will live up to this.

high score Georgia& Giovani
low score Anita& Gleb
bottom 2 Kellie& Kevin Georgia& Giovani
out Kelle& Kevin
wasn't sure about Katie but I think she will just scrape through with strong dances and the Anton to make the final vote as well as her own and Antons fans.

Highest - Jay and Aliona
Lowest - Anita and Gleb
Bottom 2 - Georgia and Giovanni and Katie and Anton
Eliminated - Katie and Anton

I would love them to do well.

I think Katie will do well and I already started a thread on this but I think
top Georgia& Giovani
bottom Anita& Gleb
bottom 2 Kellie& Kevin Georgia& Giovani
out Kellie& Kevin
really want this to be the year that Anton makes the final as I do like him and vote for him loads every week with Katie as the partner to get him there. I have my doubts however if hers and Antons fanbase will be strong enough and if they will do well enough to escape danger this week. if she doesn't I think shes gone unless shes against Antia& Gleb

Hi John. On the Strictly forum there are certain people who have posted up a certain thread for years and normally people use that thread rather than duplicate threads. I have been posting this thread up for years now. Normally I post it up when the week's dances are revealed. You beat me to it last night. By all means put up your own thread but I will continue to post my thread up
