No surprise about the fave dances looking forward to seeing both Ore Jive and Danny's Samba both great dances.

Ore has the best showdance song. Great number.

If Danny and Oti can capture the magic of that Samba again, it'll be wonderful. And Set Fire to the Rain has the potential to be a dramatic showdance in a way his Tango didn't get to be.

I think the voters will love it, it's Adele.

Hoping that suggests Danny's getting a fab Ballroom - the QS would be my pick - from the judges. Would be a great mix of dances for him. The other two's favourite choices are as expected.

No great surprises in the dancers picks.

Ore has the best showdance music for me - it's going to be a full on AS style swing number. I much prefer those to the contemporary nonsense.

Where I love something different for the show dance, assuming there are some ballroom for judges picks. Makes for more variety.

Each to their own of course

Do these selections make it possible to guess what the judges will/definitely won't pick?

Totally agree with this.

Adele??? I was hoping for something a bit more exciting...

Whitney Houston on the other hand is just absolutely dreadful, bleh.

I just think most of the contemporary nonsense has been pretty poor.

I really don't understand Louise's choice at all. I can see where Ore and Danny's are going but Louise's....?

I think Louise & Kevin's showdance music is awful. So cheesy. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong!

I don't think the judges' picks are going to be each couples' worst dance - I think they're going to pick early dances which could be improved on. Maybe Quickstep for Danny & Oti, Jive for Louise & Kevin? Not so sure about Ore & Jo, maybe Tango? I feel like their showdance will be similar to their AS so can't see it being that.

Well Ore has the winning Showdance tune doesn't he? Who doesn't love the Gene Kellyesque Hollywood style and his Singin in the Rain went down well. Very predictable,I knew he would dance to that type of music, I think it could win it for him like it did Tom Chambers. The public always love that style.

Not liking Louise's showdance music but then it's a popular song so others probably will.
Hope Danny has QS as judges choice. Nice contrast.

I got rhythm feels a bit one dimensional to me - not hugely impressed with it really.
One moment in time is rather cheesy but if the routine is choreographed cleverly something can be made of it.
Set fire to the rain is potentially a showstopper. A number of dances can be put to the music and with Danny's ability it could swing votes his way. If Adele actually sang it then the impact would be enormous.
The music round goes to Danny imo.

As for the chosen fave dances, no surprises in there at all.
All very predictable to be honest. All playing trump cards.

It could be Ore's Cha Cha Cha he did week 2, that had potential, he scored 27 (6-7-7-7)

Kevin probably has been rummaging around Brendan's 80's collection...
