Hi y'all Week 3 already

Seems a bit of confusion on the dances this week, so will post up when they are super confirmed.

For this who would like to hazard a guess for this week, your template is below.

Look forward to the first dance-off of the series

Highest Scorer
Lowest Scorer
Bottom 2
Eliminated

Top - Claudia
Bottom - Lesley
Dance-off - Naga vs Tameka
Eliminated - Naga

NB: I'm not terribly confident in any of these, except maybe Claudia being top, but this is a very difficult series to predict.

Highest Claudia (on the basis that good charlestons often score higher, I think, than good pasos)
Lowest Ed
B2 Naga and poss Tameka
Leaving Naga

Highest- Claudia & AJ
Lowest- Ed & Katya
Bottom Two: Naga & Pasha VS Greg & Natalie
Leaving: Naga & Pasha

Highest: Daisy & Aljaz
Lowest: Naga & Pasha
B2: Naga & Pasha V Anastacia & Brendan
Eliminated: Anastacia & Brendan

Highest: Claudia & AJ
Lowest: Ed & Katya (think he could struggle with samba)
Bottom two: Ed & Katya/ Naga & Pasha
Eliminated: Naga & Pasha

No way Anastacia will go out over Naga

Highest score Danny& Oti
Lowest Score Ed& Katya
Bottom 2 Annastasia& Brendan VS Lesley& Anton
Eliminated Lesley& Anton

no Annastasia would stay I think

I feel like the judges will eliminate her because of either a) her injury and b) the controversy that happened last week.

Highest: Claudia & AJ
Lowest: Ed & Katya
Bottom Two: Naga & Pasha and ..?
Eliminated: Naga & Pasha

That's my feeling too, they'll want to placate a miffed British public.

Therefore:

Highest - Danny & Oti (Claudia looks great in training, but I expect Craig will find something wrong and dock a point or two)

Lowest - Ed & Katya (even though in reality he'll do fine)

Bottom 2 - Anastacia & Brendan vs. Naga & Pasha

Eliminated - Anastacia & Brendan

ETA - Craig: Anastacia, Darcey: Anastacia, Len: Naga, Bruno: Naga

Hi Nic I think they are more likely to keep her in to justify her staying last week

If the judges eliminate Anastacia for the reasons being offered here then that will be an even bigger smack in the teeth for Melvin. The better option is to judge it according to how a person performs. Might it be possible for Anastacia to continue in spite of injury and the risk of causing long term damage?

Highest : Claudia and AJ.
Lowest : Ed and Katya
Dance Off : Naga and Pasha (I wish she had more time) and Anastacia and Brendan.
Out : Naga and Pasha

Highest Scorer - Claudia & AJ
Lowest Scorer - Ed & Katya
Bottom Two - Naga & Pasha v Ore & Joanne
Eliminated - Naga & Pasha

The judges don't have the power to eliminate someone.
In fact past history has shown when they mark someone down, that contestant frequently scores well enough in public vote to rise a over bottom 2

I fear Ore could be in the DO. It's hard to call who might be in the bottom two with N&P (of which I'm certain).

I meant if she's in the dance off

Agree. I think she'll get the same mediocre scores as she has done the past two weeks.

Scratch that, forgot she was overmarked week 1

28 is hardly mediocre for week 1

Reread my post...

I thought Lesley was going last week, so this won't be right.

Top - Danny Mac
Bottom - Lesley/Ed
Dance-off - Lesley vs Naga
Eliminated - Lesley

I don't think she was overmarked

Fair enough. I shouldn't have stated it as though it were fact - but I felt she was overmarked considering the fall and hesitancy.
