Right, here's what's left:

Claudia & AJ - Quickstep, Tango / Rumba, Salsa
Danny & Oti - American Smooth, Tango, Waltz / Salsa
Ed & Katya - Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz / Rumba
Judge Rinder & Oksana - Argentine Tango, Tango, Waltz / Samba
Louise & Kevin - Quickstep, Tango / Salsa, Samba
Ore & Joanne - Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep / Samba

Danny, Ed, Judge Rinder and Ore MUST all have ballroom this week as they need to save their one remaining latin for the semis.

Claudia and Louise could be on either. I would suspect that Claudia will skip the Rumba, leaving her to do the Salsa as her semi-final latin... except that would leave her doing ballroom this week as well. It seems unlikely to me that Louise would do both the salsa and samba in consecutive weeks, so I would guess that one of them is the dance she's missing... except that would ALSO mean her doing ballroom this week. Hmm.

I kind of wish Musicals Week was this week and we had a Dance Fusion Week next week instead of the Cha Cha Challenge.

Hoping Claudia does the QS if she survives. Her footwork is superb. Should be a good dance for her.

That would leave the semi's very Salsa/Samba heavy and next week nearly exclusively ballroom, if a couple who's supposed to do Latin next week doesn't make it. It may be a case that one couple (probably Ore & Jo and maybe Oksana and Judge too) do AT and a ballroom instead of a Latin and a Ballroom. Similar to what Georgia was supposed to do last year. Therefore I predict next week:


Claudia & AJ - Rumb
Danny & Oti - American Smooth
Ed & Katya - Viennese Waltz
Judge Rinder & Oksana - Tango
Louise & Kevin - Salsa
Ore & Joanne - Samba

My guess
-------------------------------musicals week--------semis-------------missed
Claudia and AJ ---------------Quickstep -----salsa/tango--------rumba
Danny and Oti --------American Smooth---salsa/tango--------Waltz
Ed and Katya ------------------Foxtrot ---------rumba/VW----------AT
Judge and Oksana ----------Tango----------Samba/Waltz-------AT
Louise and Kevin -------------Tango--------Salsa/Quickstep----samba
Ore and Joanne --------------Foxtrot--------samba/quickstep ---AT

There are some elements of logic behind my guesses but it's late and they quite escape me now.
ETA
I think Kev may want to ditch the samba for Louise.
I think Jo Jo will want ballroom for Ore (her speciality)
Danny and Oti won't want two dances including lifts in the same week.
I don't think rumba would be Claudia's choice of dance.

There you go. My late night logic.

Claudia- Rumba this week, Salsa and Quickstep for the semis, skip Tango
Danny- American Smooth this week, Salsa and Waltz for semis, skip Tango
Ed- Foxtrot this week, Rumba and VW for semis, skip AT
Judge- Tango this week, AT and Samba for semis, skip Waltz
Louise- Samba this week, Tango and Salsa for semis, skip Quickstep
Ore- Quickstep this week, AT and Samba for semis, skip Foxtrot

I wonder if everyone will do Ballroom next week and they'll have some sort of Latin group dance - unmarked by the judges but gives the viewers an extra opportunity to decide. Jive would work well for that seeing as they've all done it. Or Charleston.

As far as individual dances are concerned, I think it'll be:

Claudia & AJ - Quickstep, then Tango and Salsa in the semis

Danny & Oti - American Smooth, then Waltz and Salsa in the semis

Ed & Katya - Viennese Waltz, then Foxtrot and Rumba in the semis

Judge Rinder & Oksana - Argentine Tango, then Waltz and Samba in the semis

Louise & Kevin - Tango, then Quickstep and Salsa in the semis

Ore & Joanne - Foxtrot, then Quickstep and Argentine Tango in the semis


That would leave the semi's very Salsa/Samba heavy and next week nearly exclusively ballroom
I think the producers have dug themselves into a hole in that regard!

I think the quickstep will be hard for Claudia and AJ with their height difference and previous gaping issues. I think they'd be best to skip it.

I was gonna say the same - her frame in the last few ballroom dances have all got good feedback and if anything she has the technique of the ballroom and steps, the main issue seems to be seeking the dance/ getting into a character.

Gapping has never been an issue

Assuming each is favoured equally and they want variety:
Claudia & AJ - Probably Quickstep next week and then Tango/Salsa in semi-final;
Danny & Oti - American Smooth, Tango/Salsa
Ed & Katya - Viennese Waltz then Foxtrot/Rumba
Judge Rinder & Oksana - Tango then Waltz/Samba
Louise & Kevin - Tango then Quickstep/Salsa
Ore & Joanne - Foxtrot, Quickstep/Samba

If you feel they favour the Clifton final:
Claudia & AJ - Rumba then Quickstep/Salsa
Danny & Oti - Waltz then Tango/Salsa [if he doesn't get to do AS this week I will be surprised]
Ed & Katya - Argentine Tango then Foxtrot /Rumba
Judge Rinder & Oksana - Argentine Tango then Waltz / Samba
Louise & Kevin - Quickstep, Tango / Salsa
Ore & Joanne - Foxtrot, Quickstep /Argentine Tango [I think there is a precedent for AT with ballroom in semi-final]

Overall I think Danny has the best dance for musicals week with American Smooth probable and fully expect another 40 followed by Jo & Ore who could do a great Foxtrot or maybe Quickstep to echo there earlier Singing in the Rain triumph if they give Judge Rinder the AT I think it will be tough following on from Rumba as these slow dances are very exposing and I think distracting faces might be be problematic again.

Assuming they're both still there, if Claudia gets a rumba next week and Louise gets ballroom then I really will be muttering the "f" word under my breath.

Hasn't happened yet though...

It will depend on who they want out next week I reckon. Last year's musical week saw Helen and Georgia in the dance off so could equally be a shock this year!

I'm predicting:
Claudia and AJ - Quickstep
Danny and Oti - American Smooth (this has to be a given surely? Perfect for musical week).
Ed and Katya - Viennese Waltz
Judge Rinder and Oksana - Tango
Louise and Kevin - Salsa
Ore and Joanne - Foxtrot

Edit - oh crikey, just realised there'll be backing dancers next week like there were last year

Claudia & AJ - Salsa - Quickstep/Rumba
Danny & Oti - Tango - American Smooth/Salsa
Ed & Katya - Viennese Waltz - Foxtrot/Rumba
Judge Rinder & Oksana - Waltz - Tango/Samba
Louise & Kevin - Samba - Quickstep/Salsa
Ore & Joanne - Argentine Tango - Foxtrot/Samba

Giving Danny American Smooth in the semis could really benefit him and make him stand out.

They haven't done and AT in the semis for at least two series so I think Ore will have it this week.

Ore and Joanne have the Froxtot (playing Willy Wonka, oh christ why?).

Does "Pure Imagination" fit for a foxtrot? If so, I'd be happy with the music choice anyway
