These two were my least favourite this week.
Is it just me or could Tameka be in real trouble 2nite?

Same here ...
Not a huge fan of hers, she always has too much to say for herself, but, I thought she did ok this week.
Melvin more likely. Clumsy dancing, and I don't know who he is 
Anastasia has some ability in there, more fans. Tameka had a cheeky dance. Naga at least looks the business even though she isn't.

I haven't read all the threads but I like her. She's infectious and I reckon she had some training through drama school as she shows some kind of competence. Good luck to her and hope she stays on for a while.
God forbid any judge who criticizes her, I dont think she will take it well
she certainly didnt like Craig commenting on her fluff up of not being very good at getting up from that under the legs move
The dance was fun and she was never in any danger

She looked like she wanted to murder Bruno last week too, when he said she was "going like the clappers".
To be fair, he was laughing in her face - but she clearly has a bit of an ego
When does a 'big personality' become a grating bore?
Thought she danced really well yesterday and deserves to stay

Tameka clearly worked hard and proved she can move well, but I can't see her managing to be elegant in the ballroom. Could be wrong though.

I think that's her resting bitch face though .
I think she'll take comments on her inner chin while scowling and pouting in Stage School manner for dramatic effect .
Oh I hope she is safe this week. She is one of the ones I look forward to watching .
I don't like her, but I thought she did well last night and deserves to (and will) stay in this week.
Tameka was middle of the board to me. She'll have to start being a lot more amusing before I see her as a 'fun' contestant.

Last year's final
First out - Katie Derham - presents classical music on Radio and TV.
No 14 year old girl has ever seen anything she has been in
Kellie Bright - "she's this really old lady in Eastenders"
Georgia May Foote - "she was Katy in Corrie OMG I SO wanna be like her"
Jay McGuinness - "OMG he is SO hot - he is amazing"
The tween vote decides the final - the regulat Strictly vote decides who gets there
Until they start counting all votes cast in previous weeks towards the final vote - it will be the X-Factor viewers who decide who wins.”

Yeah because tweens actually watch and vote on strictly ffs.
I think she is safe for a few weeks yet, but its hard for me to call as personally I cannot stand her personality. She reminds me of Alison Hammond who was on Strictly a couple of years ago, couldn't stand her either. Way to mouthy and full of themselves, and yet they work hard, so as I said, hard for me to call. I appreciate their hard work, just wish they could tone it down some, especially the loud booming laugh ... ugggg

only the final
That is why all the recent winners have been young good looking men from sport or boy bands or "nice" soap actresses or X-factor presenters / WAGS
Looks like she will be safe next week as well
a tango where she can look all stern and act her way through with no doubt a good tango track to dance to
three good character driven dances off the belt, wheres the VW or waltz
wouldnt suprise me if the week after she got the cha cha so another character driven dance was in the bag
I thought they would have saved them for the blackpool week

Hi all. Hats off to Tameka on Saturday! - none of my fears for her stamina totally derailing her Charleston materialised and her routine was great, full of charisma and made me smile and laugh so much.
Her body fitness reaction to her Paso in week 1 and still being almost unable to speak even by the time she got to Claudia made me feel she had major stamina/fitness issues. When I saw her first piece of training footage last week for the Charleston she lost the thread completely mid-routine and I thought Saturday could see a complete dance disaster.
Loving this year - we are still finding out so much about people's dance ability and also things like fitness etc.
As to the lady herself I find her so funny, a comical force that generously lights up the room and I just personally don't get some of the negative and sour 'takes' on her posted on this thread.
Different strokes for different folks methinks...

a sour 'take' I have is that I dont care for celebs or ordinary souls who are full of their own self importance
there is a huge difference between being confident and being pretentious, conceited and arrogant even if it is hid behind the mask of trying to be funny

Yes indeed and that's why you like her and I can't stand her.
Speaking as someone who doesn't really know about the technical stuff, I found her routine the most enjoyable this week so hoped she'd be safe. Obviously some acting came into play because she looked almost as natural as some of the 'ringers' (I'll leave it to the judges to decide if it was technically on-point lol)
I hope her partnership with Gorka lasts a while (I hope all the newbies get a decent crack, including the one with Ed Balls), but there's so many different couples with different strengths it will be hard to know who the voters gravitate towards.
