Hope so

Gary and Don - with Gary going

Phil going home- Think Karen and Lilia's fans will save them- Gary was pure comedy

I'd like Phil or Don to go.

I don't think Gary should go, even though it was a bad dance, the one was NOT deserved, Brian didn't even get that. And it would really break Karen's heart to go first again.

I think Gary will get enough votes for various reasons, although it could be wishful thinking.. I really don't want Karen to leave first again.

I think the two in trouble will be Don and Phil.

But it isn't Lilia's "turn" to win. She's won already.

The pairings aren't "random," a judgement is made by the producers at the beginning.

Those who've won before will not be given an easy route to the final, though it will be difficult to judge the potential of all contestants.
The main objective is to beat the X-Factor in the "Saturday night ratings war." It's ratings that count, the BBC really doesn't care who wins, they just want you to keep watching, that's why it's more like a pantomime than a dance competition.
But it's what viewers enjoy. Best not to take it too seriously.

Phil or Gary... I dunno, I'm swaying towards Phil, and I'm not sure why. I think it's more likely to be Gary, though.

Gary has no rhythm.
Phil has no mobility -- he looked as if he was walking with a shopping trolley.

Don and Phil bottom two, and Phil going home is my guess.

Don and Gary

Gary to go
