I think she was slightly but then I think a few couples have been.

Fair enough, but for someone to stumble so much I can tell and get an 8 from Craig felt unusual. I don't think her overall place on the leaderboard was unfair but I tend to remember it as overmarked because I tend to remember it as '8? Really?'

I gave 8 cos I didn't notice any mistakes and same this week just gone in the Salsa she did brilliant for the choreographed routine

Highest Score: Claudia and AJ
Lowest Score: Ed and Katya
Bottom Two: Anatascia & Brendan and Naga & Pasha
Eliminated: Anatascia & Brendan

Highest: Daisy & Aljaz
Lowest: Ed & Katya
Bottom 2: Naga & Pasha vs. Louise & Kevin (I can see Louise middle of the pack with her CCC and being forgotten)
Eliminated: Naga & Pasha

Highest: Claudia & AJ Their Charleston will be "adorable" and filled with acrobatics.

Lowest: Ed & Katya a hot mess of a dance, but with Ed still benefiting from the Charleston after-glow in the voting.

Dance Off: Naga v Lesley Naga will be wooden but technically passable, Lesley's QS will be her being dragged round by Anton.

Eliminated: Lesley & Anton (sob- I like her)

mmmm...I have a nagging feeling it could be Naga going this week. As a person I really like her, but my high hopes that she could be really good have not been fulfilled and it's all a bit OKish/limp unfortunately.

Highest: Danny & Oti
Lowest: Ed & Katya
Bottom 2: Naga & Pasha & Anastacia & Brendan
Eliminated: Naga & Pasha

Just to be somewhat different:

Top: Daisy
Bottom: Ed
Bottom 2: Tameka + Laura (shock undeserved dance off)
Out: Tameka

Hi Monsieur. Tameka's training can be quite deceiving, as I discovered when I thought she was in danger last week and she was super. I expect she shall sail through again

Found it quite difficult to predict the bottom two this week - Naga seems the obvious choice but I'm not really sure who the other one will be.

Highest - Louise (or Danny) it probably depends on the judges' desire to keep them off the top so they aren't the top 2 every week. If they continue to keep them off the top, then Cloudia for top spot this week.

Bottom two depends on how bad Anastacia's injury is.

I think Ed is likely to be bottom. Naga might be next, or Lesley, or Anastacia - the producer will probably have a preference.

Eliminated? - I think Naga would be the least missed with the public, so I could see that happening, but Anastacia got less public votes than Naga, so that could happen this week.

I'm seeing Oreography, instead of choreography from Joanne - ie. she seems to be letting Ore do his own inventions in the routine. I think that is the wrong way to go. From Choreography Corner, Joanne should be able to teach good technique and Ore seems capable of learning it. I think enough of his personality would come through anyway, so I think they need to take a new direction or they could end up as surprise visitors to the basement.

Applause

I have an impression that Ore, and maybe his ex-dancer wife Portia - ordered a director's chair with his name on the back of it before signing up for the show. He has scripted his 'funnies' and they mostly involve:
- whoops, I've torn my trousers
- whoops, I'm not wearing any trousers
- whoops, I injured my unmentionables on the fireman's pole

I'm reaching a bit, but is there a subtle theme running throughout

Looking forward to watching him dance to Singing in the Rain tonight. No doubt an unfortunate trouser-related incident can be expected.

Highest Score: Ore (The PTB need to create some enthusiasm around him)
Lowest Score: Ed
Bottom Two: Anastacia and Naga
Eliminated: Naga

Highest scores Danny and Oti/Louise and Kevin

Lowest score: Ed and Katya

Bottom two: Anastasia and Naga

Eliminated: Naga and Pasha

Looks like Naga is very popular on here - to depart

Anyone got the latest betting odds ? I can see Anastacia, Lesley and Naga are the three most likely with the bookies, but I am hopeless at translating odds ( Johnny's Arcade can vouch for that ! )

Dunno. I think Anastacia may benefit from B2 bounce and that Ed and Lesley should be safe at this stage, regardless of how good or bad they may be.

This is a test for Naga really - how much public support does she have? Her training looked iffy. So she's in my B2.

The other one could come from the supposedly safe range as our first surprise. Reckon there will be a lot of similar middle-range scores and that could put a lot of fairly unlikely people in danger - I'm thinking Ore, Tameka and maybe Rob. Laura could also be in the drop zone if her dance is only mid-ranked.

Highest - Danny and Oti
Lowest - Ed and Katya
B2 - Naga and Pasha/Ore and Joanne
Naga goes

What I think not what I want - although there is some overlap (Claudia!).

Top score: Claudia & AJ/Danny & Oti (tied)

Bottom score: Ed & Katya

Dance-off: Naga & Pasha/Ore & Joanne

Eliminated: Naga & Pasha

I didn't know Ore's wife was a dancer - interesting!

Coincidence! Did I read somewhere that Greg's partner is a dancer too?
