After all the furore over the last dance-off, who do you think is for the chop? I know we can only speculate....


My guess is Jodie vs. Christine/Cherie, with Jodie out, sadly. I love her!

Hopefully John out.

I hope you're wrong!

I'll guess Cherie vs. John with John to go.

FINGERS CROSSED EH

I think it might be Cherie. That would be a big shock wouldn't it? I think Christine and Jodie are both pretty popular, they have both had bad marks and have avoided the dance off before.

I think it will be Jodie. I hope it won't be.

I can't give names but if John gets the lowest score again (quite likely) I expect it will be something like 4th on the judges leaderboard vs 5th in the dance-off.

Jodie has got the Quickstep this week so it could be a good dance for her. I hope it's not her, would prefer John to go. But after last week, anything could happen. Cherie could be in trouble with the Latin again, and I think her initial fanbase has dwindled a bit.

im really not sure this week, i adore cherie but yes i think it could be her, maybe lisa or jodie too. John has a chance of being there too

I don't think christine will go as she is popular and so is matthew, maybe cherie, and I wouldn't miss her one bit

I think starting this week, all the contestant except John have a chance to be in the dance off, the veterans dance off is out last week, so everybody can't say it should be Heather, so each contestant ,each week,

I think Cherie will be safe, even if she does a bad Latin (again) she will be marked well and will be somewhere near the top of the leaderboard.

Jodie is popular, as was proved last week in her avoiding the dance off with fairly low marks.

I don't think Rachel is safe, the judges never seem to give her the marks she deserves, although hopefully last week will have shaken them up too!

Lisa will be fairly safe I think. Christine not so much. Austin if he gets the marks he got last week won't be safe either. Tom I feel is pretty safe.

The judges would like it be John, and I can see some kind of fiddling with their leaderboard. Perhaps putting the people they don't think are popular with the public at the top and out of harms way. It depends who they see as canon fodder I guess. Or who they are prepared to experiment with in order to get John out.

So far none of the remaining celebs have been truly tested, as the likes of Mark, Don, Heather and Andrew were not popular enough to compensate for their low placings on the leaderboard, so were easily pushed into the dance off in weeks 5-8. Everyone goes on about how unpopular Heather was, but she avoided the bottom 2 the week Mark left, even though she was in the middle of the leaderboard. Some of the remaining couples may consistently be polling even lower than Heather but have been too high up on the leaderboard for it to matter.

We know the public vote isn't static - in week 2 Heather got more votes than Jodie who was one place below her, but on saturday Jodie certainly got more. Far too many variables affect the final positions that it's a difficult one to call without seeing the dances and the scores.

The only thing we can say with any certainty is that thus far, John Sergeant has been more popular with the public than many others. But even this could change come saturday.

Tom v Cherie - Cherie out! Okay this is my fantasy but I don't think either of them will be able to pull off their dances this week so I could be right!

I was just thinking my 'nightmare' final is Tom vs Cherie vs John....because in that event I might be forced to support John.

I adore Cherie but I have a bad feeling about this weekend with the way voting is going. I really dont know...I love John but I hope he's out this week because I feel the others all desrve to still be there. Will be interesting to see how Lisa does in the Samba too. I think we could be in for a shock this week...

In that event I would be forced to put at least a hundred votes in for John Let's hope it doesn't come to that!

Same here.

I think Jodie and Christine are the weakest out of the girls left; but seem to be very popular as they frequently tread the middle ground and (barring week 1) have neither fallen into the bottom 2.

Lisa and Cherie aren't dancing to their strengths this week; neither is Rachel; however she may get the bottom 2 rebound vote.

John is popular - he could crap on stage and still get votes from the massive.

My prediction is Cherie vs Lisa in the dance off

That would make for interesting viewing!

Two from Christine, Rachel and Cherie.

About as much chance of John being in the Dance of as Sarah Palin entering next years DWTS.

Cherie is doing a Latin dance.....so I think she maybe there..... I also think John will be too. Thus John will go.

I think Austin, Tom and Jodie have a strong fan base....thus the judges may undermark them, hoping the public will vote for them and not for John.

I hope John is out too - enough is enough. His performances aren't entertaining in the slightest IMO

Jodie may be in the bottom 2 too me thinks!

Cherie v Lisa or Rachel. Cherie goes.

Should be John, but if not Jodie and Christine, with i'm afraid Jodie to go.
