Louise has a good character that will suit her and that she can have fun with, but it is to my non-dancer ear pretty gallopy. Claudia has recognition and a good song but will they dress them as lions? Danny and the Judge have good songs, but not, in my view for the dances, and not the same familiar loved characters to play.
I will admit that last year I thought Jay was disadvantaged by having the least familiar musical and it still worked really well because it suited him, even if a lot of people hated the costumes. But I would guess that Ore, Claudia and the Judge are potentially in danger and looking at that list, Ore is safe with that song, Claudia may well be in the dance off and the Judge is even more likely than he already was to go home.”

Have to agree with all you say, Deadwood stage is a bit gallopy - our dance school is over 50 years old we still have all dads vinyls and from what me and my brother have collected over years and dont think we have that track as a QS
