My predictions:

Claudia & AJ - Jive
Daisy & Aljaz - American Smooth
Danny & Oti - Samba
Ed & Katya - Viennese Waltz
Greg & Natalie - Quickstep
Judge Rinder & Oksana - Salsa
Louise & Kevin - Paso Doble
Ore & Joanne - Foxtrot

Please....
No backing dancers!

I feel a samba looming for Greg next week. Don't know how he'd do with that

Whoever does Samba I would love if they did to to the song Turn Down for What.

At the very least let them take a hint in the word *back*

Having a go at predicting next week's dances (hope that's ok?)
Claudia and AJ - Salsa
Daisy and Aljaz - American Smooth
Danny and Oti - Charleston
Ed and Katya - Jive
Greg and Natalie - Quickstep
Judge Rinder and Oksana - Samba
Louise and Kevin - Paso Doble
Ore and Joanne - Viennese Waltz

From the results show:

Danny and Oti have the Charleston (totally called that!)
Claudia and AJ have the Jive

Danny and Oti- Charleston to "Putting on the Ritz". Sounds amazing.

Claudia and AJ- Jive to "Hey Mickey", dressed as a cheerleader. UGH, why do we have to go back to the little girl angle???

Ed and Katya have the Jive to, you guessed it, Great Balls of Fire.
Judge Rinder and Oksana have the Salsa.

Rinder has the Salsa!

This is what i've been waiting for

Knew it

It's a bigger floor, they're needed

Claudia and AJ dancing the jive to this.

Should be a winner. There'll be gymnastics.

Toni Basil was 73 this year.

The salsa has been poor for everyone this series for not looking good for Rinder.

That's all the Jives done after next week then.

I would guess that Ore or Greg (or both) we'll have the quickstep to take advantage of the huge Blackpool floor.

Louise and Kevin have the Paso Doble. 4 10's?

Kevin and Louise Paso.
Not a surprise

Only marginally bigger. It worked fine in the years that they didn't have backing dancers at Blackpool.

Got Claudia, Judge and Louise right so far, wrong on Danny and Ed.

No. That's not a surprise is it.

Now all we need to see is whether he gets traditional music. Again

Claudia doing jive... finally we gonna see her gymnastics... gonna be 4 X 10.

but not very original concept tho...

True! See #39. I've already mentioned this, it'll be a lot better than the clip you've posted, I thought that performance was poor..

Kev has made three trips to blackpool and did the paso once and then two quicksteps = seems everything he gets is a fix to some

Back to the thread hop Ore and Jo get quickstep her fave dance

Paso should be good for Louise in Blackpool but then she's left with samba and salsa as her Latin dances which I don't think she will be quite as good at so she could be a shock exit before the final.

Jive cannot have lifts so don't think we will see too much gymnastics
