Going by the leaked figures from a few weeks back, which looked pretty reasonable to me, Tom was topping the public vote, followed by Austin and then Christine. That makes sense to me as the blokes always do well on these kinds of shows. The question is how many votes has Christine picked up since John's departure?
If she is bottom of the leaderboard (and I suspect she will be), she'll have to top the public vote to avoid the bottom two. Can she poll higher than the boys? Even if she does this, she might be in the bottom two anyway if Rachel tops the leaderboard and comes fourth in the public vote.
Basically, my instinct is that the bottom two will come from the three girls. Unless the judges decide to hold Lisa up bigtime, she's almost a sure bet, but I think they're unlikely to do this as it would be at the expense of Rachel. Then it comes down to Rachel and Christine. Rachel really needs to top the leaderboard to avoid the dance-off, but if she does this, then I think Christine will be going home.




Why the conspiracy theory? She's the only one with a day job and she knew the score before she entered the competiton - Gethin had a day job last year and it didn't stop him topping the leaderboard in the quarter-finals and being a serious contender. Christine just isn't as good as Tom, Austin or Rachel and even if she got a break from the One Show she probably still wouldn't be up to their standard - I don't think it's fair if she puts out one of them due to the cult of personality or conspiracy theories. Besides I'm sure that the producers of the program would rather Brendan was available to dance with Kelly and I don't see you saying the same things about Lisa.
