I think Louise will do a Salsa ( most likely) or Samba this week. Even if she doesn't dance well, judges will score her high for Cha cha and scores added together end up top or 2nd. Good week to dance one of your weaker dances.

they have just done latin so another latin was unlikely but they are confirmed as a waltz

We know from the results show that Louise has the waltz.

Louise and Danny both got 31 for their Cha Chas, the highest out of the remaining contestants.

If other people have a weak dance and are given a good place in the Cha Cha Challenge is this judge manipulation, or as you seem to be suggesting, would it only apply to Louise.

I suggest we watch the dances this weekend before pronouncing what 'will' happen.

Just my opinion and I can say it whenever I want. I also think Louise was overmarked for her Cha cha. Danny was ok. It's better that they are dancing Latin, more fairer system for male celebs. With so many dancers on the floor, it will be hard to notice all their leg works, straight or not.

Thanks for the Waltz info.

Thanks.

Robert Rinder is speaking to Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1 and he said that he has the rumba this week.

Oh dear. ...the rumba ? He is in trouble.

That was my thought too - I really want them make the final

I am not a fan of Robert's, but I think he has enough support and I think this week might be the last one for Ed. It will be sad to see Ed go.

I think that of all the men in the competition, bar Danny, Robert will perform a rumba with hip action and nil self consciousness. If he does well in the rumba he will be assured a place for the following week.

I think Robert will be fine with a rumba

he has amazing hips and has very expressive arms

He'd be in trouble this week regardless..this just puts a nail in the coffin.

He'll only be above Ed in the judges scoring and will lose to anyone but Ed in the dance off (regardless of how well he actually dances).

He'll likely be on earlier in the show as well (as he closed the show this week).

I doubt he'll beat Danny, Louise or Ed in the voting (he won't based on polls anyway)..and if the judges decide to put Claudia or Ore at the top of the scoreboard (to ensure their safety)..he'll really have no way of avoiding the bottom two/being voted off.

Ditto for Judge's rumba

Bold is confirmed


Claudia & AJ ------- AT

Danny &Oti ------- AS

Ed & Katya ------ Tango

Ore & Jo ------- Paso

Judge & Oksana ------ Rumba

Louise & Kev ----''' Waltz

Has there been an AT to the 'bringing sexy back' Justin Timberlake song? I have a feeling there has been. Either that or Cry me a river, while not proper AT music obviously, are at least not childish. (I'll say that and then they'll get the song from the Trolls movie!)

Rumba for a difficult one for the Judge, not because of the dance itself, but because of all the 'raunchy' intense mood Strictly insist it's supposed to have. Still, I think if he can stay out of the b2 over Claudia, he's got enough support. Men rarely go on a rumba, so it's been said on here. All depends on the music.

AJ has tweeted that there's 2 dances this week?!

Or am i Mis-reading that?

There's the group Cha Cha Challenge (a la Swingathon) this week too.

Ah ok

I guess that should help the judges break the ties and try and get Ed out... he also has the elimination dance of the series with the Tango.

I wonder if he'll get an early slot too this week

I think he might surprise us actually. He has just spoken about the dance on ITT and how emotionally invested he is in the story already. His drama background will help tell the story, and I totally agree with the comments about his hips and arms.

I think Claudia and AJ might have far more problems with an AT.

the hips will be ok for the judge it is the feet he will have to watch - he has got away with some poor footwork in some of his dances

It will be interesting to watch ITT tomorrow. Tuesdays Tunes.

Let's just see who has appropriate music for their dance.
I thought out of all Justin 's music that Cry Me a River may be OK but didnt remember Bringing Sexy Back. Still strange for an AT.
The Judge seems very happy with his music.

Wow!!! I didnt realise that they were so many salsa and samba left ? For almost all the remaining couples It just looks like some of them are purposely avoiding them

I second that very little chemistry between them ( just my thought)

Agreed. I think their dance could be very beautiful and if they escape this week they could actually win the show.

Chris Hollins with bells on. Watch out

Unleash the beast!!!

One of my favourite (partly because it was Artem) but this I found so sensual....if he can learn from some of these YT clips, then I think he could smash it!!

Disappointed that once again Claudia & AJ are getting a modern pop song instead of something traditional. I really feel the music they have been given has been a disservice for them. So much good potential with her and it has been mainly overlooked due to the music they've had (imo).

I think they could be dancing to 'Like I Love You' by JT.
