I don't know, I think Carol and Matt have quite a lot of public support - for example if you look at that survey on BBC website it had over 16000 votes last time I looked and C&M were joint second faves to NOT go out. I know it's not really representative, but it's just an example. I know they're my faves so I'm biased, but I honestly think that they are quite popular. No one's safe though...

I hope so, there are certainly people who should go out before them, I know what you mean about being biased I can't even contemplate Mark and Karen going!

If another good dancer goes, I will be so annoyed and if it's Carol (or Mark actually although I doubt he's in danger) I will be really upset! I know it's only a TV programme, but I might actually cry!

Well I definitely would be fuming if Mark was voted out on Saturday.

Looking at the Week 4 Favourites poll, Matt Dawson is in big trouble!

:lol:

He's foxtrotting this week though, so charm should (_should_) be on the menu...

Don't go there!

I have my fingers crossed that Jan and Anton pull out all the stops tomorrow.
After seeing her get frazzled in training, I'm concerned...

Still, in Anton's arms the worst that could happen is her legs turn to jelly. I know mine would...

I'm pretty convinced it'll be Carol and Matt unfortunately. She's in that dangerous middle of the pack position and despite being good, the public just don't feel sorry enough for her. I can see her, Ray, Peter and Matt possibly going before either Georgina or Jan. I very much hope that's not the case but with the way the public votes it seems likely to me.

Jan and Carol.

Hopefully Georgina will go, it's painful.

If it's not Georgina I will have some serious issues!

My hope is that the shock of a good dancer going out last week will make more people vote for the better dancers rather than just for sympathy reasons.

If Georgina does reasonably well tonight I think she should go on a high. But we all know the public don't look at things like talent when voting.

Hopefully the scottish vote might do it for Carol, not my favourite but definately deserves to be there for many more weeks. I'm worried for Ray and Matt - I don't think Ray is well enough known, and Matt's not really coming across that well and if either go before Georgina, Jan or Clare Mind you, I'm currently terrified for Mark as he's using a rather large cape tonight and if it goes wrong ....

If all was fair, talent wise it seems that Georgina, Jan and Claire should go in that order then I think it's MUCH closer between all the remaining couples - Louisa, Emma, Mark, Ray, Carol, Peter and Matt all have the talent to win it.

(*fingers crossed for the Scottish vote*)

Here we are again worrying about our favourites leaving tonight!

I'm worried for Claire and Brendan and hope they can give a good performance tonight. Theres been hardly any coverage of them this week so its hard to know how well or badly they're doing.

I do have a feeling it will be between Georgina, Jan and Claire who leaves tonight but sincerely hope its Georgina. I can't see it being any of the boys.

I too am hoping that this may make a difference this week. I am hoping that Jan and Georgina get reasonable comments from the judges tonight so that people don't feel the need to do sympathy voting.

If not we could see someone like Ray or Carol going before their time.

Funny you should say that. I had a dream last night that Ray & Camilla went and Carol & Matthew were in the bottom 2. It was HORRIBLE!

ARGH! I'm scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared!!!

We can only hope that the sympathy vote doesn't come into play tonight. I hope the judges give reasonable comments to everyone (am I asking for too much!) and then its a more even playing field and hopefully the worst dancer will leave (Georgina please!!!)

I think Carol will be safe tonight. From the footage on ITT Scotland is behind her so that can only help. Lets face it if the McDonald Brothers can still be on X Factor then Carol should be fine

Lol! That's a bloody good point! Wonder if we can convince them to vote for Carol instead? At least money goes to charity rather than Simon Cowell's pocket. And she's more talented.

I'm all prepared for them to leave so if it doesn't happen it'll be a lovely surprise.

After what happend last week Claire I'm not telling you not to worry! I hope you get your lovely surprise though and me too

I honestly think Carol will be okay tonight, unless she has a complete nightmare dance - which I don't see happening - looking forward to seeing her 'big dead bird'

It's really Ray and Matt I'm nervous about. Ray isn't known that well and Matt's been pretty invisible in terms of ITT this week, plus hasn't come over that well.

I'm scared for Mark and Karen as well, but I think he's developed enough of a fanbase* to get through if the dance isn't great

*fanbase/obsessive drooling fans - you pick *

I think Louisa, Emma, Mark, Claire and Jan are safe. I'm not putting Carol, Ray or Peter on that list because I'm preparing for the worst!

Oh I HOPE HOPE HOPE Mark is safe... *all appendages crossed*

..that who ever finishes bottom after the judges scores will be safe.

Last year darling FP finished bottom each week and survived.

The first time she finished second from bottom she was off (thank God!)

I wonder if the Judges will give Georgina a higher score in an attempt to stop her surviving again?

I am officially a ODF!
