Let's not get too excited. Last year's "thon" winner was eliminated the following week. Helen George.

And Pixie, winner of Waltzathon eliminated same week

fingers crossed Ore tops then

Danny& Oti

Difficult to say as we have see their CCC's at differing stages of the competition. I daresay that Danny will feature highly, but I actually hope that Louise will win it. Not sure how early her CCC was, but I was very impressed with her technique, leg and foot action.

Glad to hear you say that, Jennifer! Nice to know I wasn't just imagining that her technique looked quite good.

Danny has done the best cha-cha-cha so he should win it. But last year the the best QS didn't win the quickstepathon so you just never know !

I think it will be:

Louise
Claudia
Ore
Danny
Robert
Ed

Edit - some things better left unsaid

The BBC strictly instagram has started to post bts clips as usual, and we can see a bit of Claudia who looks better than her week 1 dance (all be it on a tiny clip) so it could be really hard to call, except I'd be surprised if Danny doesn't come first.
These a-thons always seem to end up being a way for it to end up going almost in line with what you expect beforehand, with people then claiming the judges are biased but I doubt many people give votes based on this over their main dance anyway. It's just a way to bulk up the show a bit.

I dont know........... I have learned NOT to predict these athons because they are totally unpredictable. Maybe they will give us our first real wuzzrobbed thread of the series

I am still in disbelief at Susanna and Kevin being voted OUT 1st in 2013 and they were not even my favourites. I was so outraged for them ; they barely even started to move ...the music just started and bam they were out.....I know we should not take these athons seriously but they still baflle me year after year....and does anyone remember Patrick being so terrible into the athon and coming 2nd ? yeah safe it to say that they are a joke IMO.

I am not particularly looking forward to it. AT ALL.

Well I'm pretty certain Ed will be bottom.

Danny will be top but apart from that, it will be close I think.

Jay should have been at least top 2 last year but finished 4th if I'm not mistaken. The " best dancer " doesn't always win these athons . Same for Abbey during her year; she was actually quite good in it and finished 4th. Natalie deserved to win that one but Abbey shouldn't have finished that low.

What you think will happen with these athons almost never happen; it's like a reverse.

My biggest surprise would be to see Danny winning that tbh.

I never enjoy the athons either.

It will be whoever the judges don't want to be eliminated

I predict Ed to be thrown off the dance flooas first as he lifts a foot for his first step.

It will be whoever the producers don't want to be eliminated.

Fixed it for you, as have the producers

Very sharp

Happy days for me!

Louise might win the danceathon tonight. But I would prefer Danny or Ore

Louise has this in the bag

She's the winner

Louise.

Fixed as usual; should be used to it by now but it still doesn't make it less annoying

Well... I'm a Louse fan but she was very poor tonight. Stiff Waltz and the Cha Cha-athon was kinda woeful...

Kevin's hair is very off-putting... if he's had a hair transplant he should just come out and say it rather then trying to hide. The dead straight line is a giveaway!

Judges favourite, not the public, she was terrible, yet came top. Yep judges masturbating over kevin another year, Hope he loses again

Almost like a proper competition, I liked it.
