Greg
Ed

I've not heard the song but does it lend itself to halloween. I know the song that Greg and Natalie has a lot of potential. Poor Claudia I hope she is not let down by AJ.

Greg's going to need to pull a miracle out of his backside to come anywhere but second to last on the leaderboard. I have no doubt the performance aspect of the Runba will be better than his 'rather be anywhere else Cha-Cha' if the way he emoted in his American Smooth is anything to go by but as he struggled in the Cha-Cha I think he'll find the basic Rumba walk even more difficult.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I've never been a fan of any of Brendan's Jives and with him dancing fresh from his sickbed it doesn't bode well for Anastacia.

As to what scores they'll get the scoring these days is so unpredictable I couldn't begin to guess. I suppose the only certain is Craig's score for Ed being less than the amount of fingers you have on one hand.

Craig does it to generate more votes for Ed . He secretly likes him and finds him funny IMO.

Of course it's a tactical voting ploy! It will be evident when the judges have decided enough is enough for Ed as the judges will mark him up and praise him rather than criticise him. For every harsh comment the producers know that this will encourage people to vote.

Not good with predictions these days but all I know is that BOTH Clifton will probably be 1 or 2 on the leaderboard . Greg will be last or second to last. Danny I'm afraid will be middle of the pack.
