It's back predict the week one scores

Anastacia & Brendan - 7, 7, 7, 7 (Craig will be brown-nosing)
Claudia & AJ - 7, 7, 6, 7 (Len will say too many gimmicks)
Daisy & Aljaz - 5, 6, 6, 5
Danny & Oti - 6, 7, 6, 7
Ed & Katya - 3, 5, 5, 4
Greg & Natalie - 4, 6, 6, 5
Laura & Giovanni - 6, 6, 7, 7 (Darcey undermarks pretty girl)
Lesley & Anton - 4, 5, 5, 5
Louise & Kevin - 7, 6, 7, 7 (Judges favourite, Darcey overly critical)
Melvin & Janette - 5, 7, 7, 6
Naga & Pasha - 4, 6, 6, 6
Ore & Joanne - 6, 7, 6, 7
Robert & Oksana - 5, 6, 6, 5 (Craig makes provocative comment, thus igniting series-long feud)
Tameka & Gorka - 7, 7, 6, 6
Will & Karen - 6, 7, 7, 7

No eights?

Anastacia & Brendan 5,7,7,7 (Craig tells Brendan off for a lift)
Claudia & AJ - 6, 7, 5, 7 (Len will say too many gimmicks& Ilegal lift wouldn’t supprise me)
Daisy & Aljaz - 4, 6, 6, 6
Danny & Oti - 6, 7, 7, 7
Ed & Katya - 2, 5, 5, 4
Greg & Natalie - 5, 6, 6, 6
Laura & Giovanni - 6, 8, 8, 8
Lesley & Anton - 4, 6, 6, 6
Louise & Kevin - 6, 6, 6, 6 (Judges favourite, Darcey overly critical)
Melvin & Janette - 3, 6, 5, 6
Naga & Pasha - 4, 6, 6, 6
Ore & Joanne - 4, 5, 7, 6
Robert & Oksana - 3, 5, 6, 5
Tameka & Gorka - 3, 4, 5, 4
Will & Karen - 7, 8, 8, 8

Depends on whether the judges are marking strictly this year (like series 10 and 13) or if they're being a bit over-generous (like series 11). By law of cycles, I'll say they're going to mark generously this year (and it's Len's last year, so he'll probably be more indulgent).

(This is what I'm assuming the dances are)

Anastacia & Brendan - Cha-Cha-Cha - 7, 6, 7, 7 = 27
Claudia & AJ - Cha-Cha-Cha - 7, 8, 7, 8 = 30
Daisy & Aljaz - Waltz - 5, 6, 6, 7 = 24 (because Bruno loves a leggy woman)
Danny & Oti - Cha-Cha-Cha - 6, 7, 7, 7 = 27
Ed & Katya - Waltz - 3, 5, 6, 4 = 18
Greg & Natalie - Jive - 4, 6, 6, 6 = 22
Laura & Giovanni - Cha-Cha-Cha - 6, 6, 7, 7 = 26
Lesley & Anton - Waltz - 3, 5, 5, 4 = 17 (I think Ed's juuust edging her out, also she looks so peaky)
Louise & Kevin - Jive - 7, 7, 8, 8 = 30 (and DS burns down)
Melvin & Janette - Cha-Cha-Cha - 5, 7, 6, 6 = 24
Naga & Pasha - Waltz - 4, 6, 6, 6 = 22
Ore & Joanne - Tango - 6, 8, 8, 7 = 29
Robert & Oksana - Cha-Cha-Cha - 4, 6, 5, 6 = 21
Tameka & Gorka - Tango - 5, 6, 6, 6 = 23
Will & Karen - Tango - 5, 7, 8, 7 = 27

I don't often pay attention to scores in the early rounds, and couldn't be bothered to check out what is typical for week 1.

The idea of hierarchy is there, though.

It's Len's last year, so I think we might see a 9 in Week 1:

Anastacia & Brendan: Cha-Cha-Cha: 6, 7, 7, 7 = 27/40

Claudia & AJ: Cha-Cha-Cha: 8, 8, 8, 8 = 32/40

BIB Lesley& Anton have the Waltz

Anastacia & Brendan: Cha-Cha-Cha: 5, 6, 6, 7 = 24/40 (My favourite so hoping if I predict lower, she'll get higher )

Wow that's a very detailed prediction.

I don't see how it's different to any others?

nor do I TBH

Anastacia & Brendan – 6,7,7,8
Claudia & AJ – 7,7,7,7
Daisy & Aljaz – 4,5,6,5
Danny & Oti – 5,6,7,6
Ed & Katya – 2,5,5,4
Greg & Natalie – 5,6,7,7
Laura & Giovanni – 5,7,7,7
Lesley & Anton – 3,6,5,6
Louise & Kevin – 7,7,7,8
Melvin & Janette - 8,8,8,8
Naga & Pasha – 5,6,7,6
Ore & Joanne – 6,7,7,7
Robert & Oksana – 6,6,7,6
Tameka & Gorka – 5,6,7,7
Will & Karen – 7,8,8,7

Anastacia & Brendan: Cha-Cha-Cha: 6,7,8,7 - 28
Claudia & AJ: Cha-Cha-Cha: 7,8,7,8 - 30
Daisy & Aljaz: Waltz: 5,6,7,7 - 25
Danny & Oti: Cha-Cha-Cha: 4,7,6,6 - 23 ( I don't know why, but I can just picture him getting nervous for his first live show and going slightly wrong)
Ed & Katya: Waltz: 2,5,5,5 - 17
Greg & Natalie: Jive: 5,5,6,5 - 21
Laura & Giovanni: Cha-Cha-Cha: 7,7,7,7 - 28
Lesley & Anton: Waltz: 3,5,6,5 - 19
Louise & Kevin: Jive: 8,8,8,8 - 32
Melvin & Janette: Cha-Cha-Cha: 5,6,6,6 - 23
Naga & Pasha: Waltz: 3,6,6,6 - 21
Ore & Joanne: Tango: 7,8,7,7 - 29
Robert & Oksana: Cha-Cha-Cha: 4,6,5,5 - 20
Tameka & Gorka: Tango: 7,7,6,8 - 28
Will & Karen: Tango: 8,8,8,8 - 32

Anastacia & Brendan: 6,6,6,6 (24)
Claudia & AJ: 7,6,7,7 (27)
Daisy & Aljaz: 6,6,6,6 (24)
Danny & Oti: 7,8,7,7 (29)
Ed & Katya: 3,5,5,5 (18)
Greg & Natalie: 5,7,6,7 (25)
Judge Rinder & Oksana: 5,7,7,7 (26)
Laura & Giovanni: 7,7,7,7 (28)
Lesley & Anton: 3,5,5,4 (17)
Louise & Kevin: 7,8,8,8 (31)
Melvin & Janette: 5,6,6,5 (22)
Naga & Pasha 6,7,7,7 (27)
Ore & Joanne: 7,7,7,7 (28)
Tameka & Gorka: 8,8,8,8 (32)
Will & Karen: 6,7,7,7 (27)

Which would give a leaderboard of...

1) Tameka & Gorka- 32
2) Louise & Kevin- 31
3) Danny & Oti- 29
4) Laura & Giovanni- 28
=) Ore & Joanne- 28
6) Claudia & AJ- 27
=) Naga & Pasha- 27
=) Will & Karen- 27
9) Judge Rinder & Oksana- 26
10) Greg & Natalie- 25
11) Anastacia & Brendan- 24
=) Daisy & Aljaz- 24
13) Melvin & Janette- 22
14) Ed & Katya- 18
15) Lesley & Anton- 17

I don't know if it's just me, but the fact that only Tameka has the paso makes me feel like it will be a "wow" moment.

I actually think the scores for Ed and Lesley will be quite higher than expected due to the Waltz.

Maybe early 20's which could be near to other celebs who have disastrous latins, Greg and the jive

it will either be wow or a complete disaster, Iets just say our opinions differ on Ed& Lesley on who will be bottom of the leaderboard

I believe the standard will be very high, but I could be proven wrong. It all depends on the series - will it be harshly marked, or kinder e.g. series 11.

1. Danny & Oti - Cha-Cha-Cha - 32 (8,8,8,8)
2. Ore & Joanne - Tango - 31 (7,8,8,8)
3. Will & Karen - Tango - 30 (7,8,7,8)
4. Laura & Giovanni - Cha-Cha-Cha - 29 (7,8,7,7)
4. Claudia & AJ - Cha-Cha-Cha - 29 (7,7,7,8)
6. Naga & Pasha - Waltz - 28 (6,7,8,7)
7. Anastacia & Brendan - Cha-Cha-Cha - 27 (6,7,7,7)
7. Lesley and Anton - Waltz - 27 (6,7,7,7)
9. Louise & Kevin - Jive - 26 (6,7,7,6)
9. Melvin & Janette - Cha-Cha-Cha - 26 (5,7,7,7)
11. Tameka & Gorka - Paso Doble - 25 (6,7,6,6)
12. Judge RInder & Oksana - Cha-Cha-Cha - 24 (5,6,6,7)
13. Daisy & Aljaz - Waltz - 23 (4,6,6,7)
13. Ed & Katya - Waltz - 23 (4,6,7,6)
13. Greg & Natalie - Jive - 23 (5,6,6,6)
