She always undermarked like Daisy. They both deserve more each week

Highest: Ore & Joanne
Lowest: Ed & Katya
Bottom Two: Anastacia & Brendan VS Rinder & Oksana
Eliminated: Anastacia & Brendan

It doesn't sound OTT (because I agree ) I think a lot of people will have a great deal of respect for Laura and the way she's dealt with all the rubbish people were posting about her on social media in addition to the lack of "poor me, poor me" regarding her ankle injury.

Highest scorer : Danny/Oti
Lowest scorer : Ed/Katya
Bottom two : Danny/Oti, Ore/Joanne
Eliminated : Sorry, can't see for the forum meltdown

Have to disagree there!! Those 9s from Bruno were excessive compared to other people's scores, but I think there are worse dancers still left in & she's one who , if her ankle stays right could keep improving as she gains confidence!!
Very dependant on how the public have taken to her I think as she is mid table in terms of the competition ie not one of the top 3 dancers but not one of the 'hopeless but entertaining' either!!

If that was to happen all the judges will vote to save Ore & Joanne and Danny & Oti will be eliminated

Highest - Danny and Oti - think he'll smash that Foxtrot by the end of the week and Ore and Louise both having Charleston might mean the judges are loathe to score one too high in case the second is better.

Lowest - no contest - Ed and Katya

Dance-off - Anastacia and Laura

Out - Anastacia

highest Louise and Kevin

Lowest Greg and Natalie

Bottom 2: Laura and Anastacia

Going home : Anastacia.

On the contrary; she has been overmarked since day 1.

Highest - Louise and Kevin ("breakthough" dance)
Lowest - Greg and Natalie
B2 - Ed and Katya v Rob and Oksana

Ed goes having done a reasonably OK dance that gets him off the bottom of the leaderboard.

Daisy will get a B2 bounce.

Cautious about that Louise placing. They've been banging on about her reaching a plateau (which is only kind of true, she seemed to start off on one) so it may well run a bit longer unless she unexpectedly hits the B2 in the next couple of weeks.

Highest - prob Ore and Joanne but Im hoping Danny and Oti
Lowest - Ed and Katya
Bottom 2 - Greg and Natalie - Laura and Giovanni

Eliminated Greg and Natalie

Week 1, Laura danced Cha cha with bent knees and got 25 and Louise later danced Cha cha with bent knees and got 31. Yes, overmarked for sure.

Highest Scorers: Louise and Kevin
Lowest Scorers: Ed and Katya
Bottom Two: Anastacia and Brendan and Claudia and AJ
Eliminated: Anastacia and Brendan

highest Louise and Kevin / Ore and Joanne

Lowest Greg and Natalie

Bottom 2: Laura OR Daisy and Greg

Going home : Greg.

- Louise is due a 'breakthrough' and ITT were starting to talk up Louise 'finally showing her Personality' in the training footage. Ore and Joanne looked great in training
- Greg had a dire CCC. His Rumba in training looked like a classic bloke walk + pose
- Laura has only two limited days to learn her Tango.... Daisy's Paso looked very soft The mid-table ladies are in great danger this week.
- I think the next gentleman to visit the Bottom 2 is toast.

(Brendan is NEVAH EVAH going home with a Halloween Jive to Bat Out of Hell. Bet he closes the show too. Oh.... and his partner... err... oh yes... Anastacia).

Hi Lady Lavender, I agree with all your choices and possibly Greg to go, although I think Laura is at risk.

Re her training. I'm not sure if you watched ITT, but they showed footage from training on Tuesday so it seem that she should have the same amount of time to train as the other celebs so fingers crossed for her!

Highest: Louise & Kevin

Lowest: Ed & Katya

Bottom Two: Laura & Giovanni v Judge Rinder & Oksana

Eliminated: Laura & Giovanni

Hello Isla - Laura started back at training on Wednesday, which was the clip shown on ITT. So she has missed a couple of hours on Monday (always a short day for celebs) and all of Tuesday. Probably, with an injury, her training hours have to be shorter on Wednesday and Thursday (just a guess on my part but seems logical)

To be fair, sometimes the celebs have reduced training time through work commitments, sometimes its injury or sickness. Just part of the show having to fit around 'real life'.

The footage said 'yesterday' which would have been Tuesday as the show was yesterday. I can't imagine having to fit in training around their schedules.
Poor Lesley was getting up at 5am to film Birds of a feather too. Shattered just thinking about it.

Highest: Danny and Oti
Lowest: Ed and Katya
Bottom 2: Anastacia and Brendan + Judge Rinder and Oksana
Bye Bye: Anastacia and Brendan

I can't see Greg being in the bottom two. I think Greg and Ed must be topping with the public. Robert is unknown commodity. Ed is sure to leave before Greg. I am predictiing Greg to win.

Greg and Robert definitely have at least a medium sized public vote as it saved them last week. Ed probably has a larger vote than Greg and Robert - just for the moment until the joke runs out.

Greg has a tricky dance this week.. depends how his Rumba looks.

Highest: Louise & Kevin
Lowest : Ed & Katya
Bottom Two: Ed & Katya & Greg & Natalie
Eliminated: Ed & Katya

Have to say I'm being spoilt with songs this week:

Paint it Black
Take me to Church
Bring me to Life
Bat out of Hell
Please don't let me be Misunderstood

Some bloody good tunes there though whether they fit the categories is a different matter!!

Top Score: Danny/Oti
Lowest score: Anastacia/Brendan
Bottom two: Anastacia/Brendan & Claudia/AJ
Leaving: Anastacia/Brendan

Just don't see Anastacia doing a jive to Bat out of Hell I'm afraid!! Hope I'm wrong & it's brilliant but I see it falling flat on it's a**e sadly!!

So you think she deserved 10s


Agree totally.


That doesn't mean that Laura wasn't over marked. Just means that Louise was also over marked. But Louise's Cha Cha was way better.


I don't get why Greg is so popular? I think he's another who's been over marked - although I heard they were tougher on him last week (I missed the show.)
It's hard to know where everyone else is in the public vote - until we see them in the dance off - I suppose we don't have much clue. Although Ed must be wracking up a fair bit of support to keep him in (thank God, I love him )

Just had a look.. You are quite right. The caption does say 'yesterday' as in Tuesday. So they were able to do something at least on Tuesday.

I love the guy & adore Natalie but Greg was very lucky not to land in the bottom two last week as he was really not good at all!!
Only Ed would have gone before him in a DO last week I reckon!!

I think he'll surprise us this week, as the song is brilliantly dramatic & I think Natalie will choreograph the Rumba that way rather than slushy romantic!!

Edit: For all you Strictly historians I distinctly remember somebody a couple of years ago dancing to another Evanescence song 'My Immortal' but can't for the life of me remember who!!
Don't even remember if it was a celeb dance or a pro routine but I remember loving it at the time!!

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Edit again: Just thought, had it been a pro routine that would have meant the band appearing on Strictly which I'm 99.999% sure never happened so it must have been a celeb routine!!
