Just a small point, but the judges are there live and we see only what the camera lets us see - it means that we see some things, particularly sometimes facial expressions, that they might not have seen, and they are much more influenced than we are by what it was like to be there, and how the dance interacted with the audience. So, while we're all going to agree or disagree with the scoring, and that's part of the fun, we aren't really basing it on the same thing they are. Some people have more chemistry with the camera than they do live or the other way. It jumps out to me, just for one obvious example, the way Gleb looks into the camera often, and whether you like that or not might well affect how you feel about the whole dance, and of course the judges are at the side and never see that.
And, of course, how many 10s depends on what week it is.
On topic: who's going - no idea. I think the least safe dances last week were the rumba and the paso - they'd go brilliantly or not, but not a lot of middle ground. This week I think the least safe dances are the rumba again, the two charlestons and the cha cha cha. But this week everyone has a fairly safe ballroom to do for the dance off if they get in trouble with the other. Helen would survive this week no problem.

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?)”
