What a tense week!! I think this is going to be hard - doing two dances - so whatever happens we might be in for a shock as to who ends up in the dance off.

I was supporting Jodie, but have also enjoyed watching Tom. I may well vote for him now, because clearly, the public vote is going to count for everyone, save perhaps the person at the top of the leaderboard?

I don't think Rachel's a patch on Lisa and the leap in judges scores in last 2 weeks makes no sense. That was never worth four 10s last week.
I think they've been trying to protect her cos they know she's polling so badly. Also, Christine puts far more personality into her dances compared to Rachel so beats her on that score.
The way I see it, Tom and Lisa are both overdue some 10s this week and will get them. I think Lisa could leap up the leaderboard. If she doesn't and they overmark Rachel again, it is clearly all a fix.
I reckon Austin and Rachel could be the bottom 2 as Christine is clearly polling highly and quite possibly is getting the highest public vote.

There's no indication at all that Austin doesn't have a strong public vote. Quite the reverse as he's already been tested with the rumba, and Tom has not.

I expect Tom to be top this week, if not I'll be surprised. But I think at this stage of the game with only 3 getting called out first it'll be who the public enjoy watching the most, who entertains them the best, as well as the best dancers. Who combines all 3 will be safe.

Could not agree more about Lisa and Rachel, and I feel the judges are over marking her to keep her out of the bottom two.

Christina and Lisa in the bottom 2

Christina to go!!

Sad, but thats my best guess. EVERY week will mean the loss of a good dancer.

Once again I agree with nancy1975 Austin has had his vote tested both Rumba week and last week (when he had the same judges score as Lisa but unlike Lisa was not in the dance off) I think Austins vote is strong, its Tom who is the unknown amongst all the 5 he could be getting a high vote but equally he could be getting a middling to low vote.

For every person on this forum who says wtte of WOW Rachel there seems to be someone (I admit me included) who just doesn't get it. On a scale from no not for me to the other end of the scale saying judges delibrately keeping her in.

So therefore how much would Rachels vote have increased I don't think by much.

I was even forgetting last week. I'm rubbish.

He has had his vote tested TWICE. If he can pull off both dances well, there's every reason to think he'll be through safe, not that I'm complacent about anybody at this stage.

Hold on there!! You have at least 2 tens from Craig, and 13 in total from just this one show - simply not going to happen.

I agree, although I can see there being a few 10s, there are 2 waltzes, always an easy dance to score highly in if you're any good and 2 foxtrots. I can't see there being more than 5 10s at the most though.

I would say that at least, Tom will get one for his waltz, Rachel one for her waltz and Austin one for his foxtrot, although any of them could get more, but I don't really see any of them getting 40.

Unfortunately, I can't see Lisa getting one, she's just not good enough yet. There's still no sign of her having sorted out her gapping.

I don't think we'll be seeing any 40's on Saturday, the other judges seemed surprised Craig gave out a ten, maybe they won't be so quick to give them out this week.

I think the gapping was an issue last week because they were moving around the floor quickly. I don't think it's been a problem before in any of her ballroom dances, so hopefully it won't be a big issue on Saturday. Having said that, I still think she's going to be the one to go.

Did you see her VW? Seriously, the gapping was huge, QS too! I think the trouble is her legs are so long that it's really hard for her to tuck her hips in and keep them in contact with Brendan, her legs are longer than his, I think.

I know I'm going to be way out, but I'll have a go!

This isn't what I want to happen - just my predictions based on what we've seen so far and the way the judges have been marking all series:

Rachel & Vincent - Waltz - 38/40
Lisa & Brendan - Foxtrot 38/40
Christine & Matthew - Tango - 32/40
Austin & Erin - Foxtrot - 37/40
Tom & Camilla - Waltz - 39/40

(Assuming it's ballroom then latin)

Leaderboard at the end of the ballroom round:

Tom first, Rachel and Lisa tied 2nd, Austin 4th and Christine 5th.

Rachel & Vincent - Paso - 36/40 Total 74/80
Lisa & Brendan - Cha Cha - 35/40 Total 73/80
Christine & Matthew - Salsa - 32/40 Total 64/80
Austin & Erin - Paso - 34/40 - Total 71/80
Tom & Camilla - Samba - 35/40 - Total Total 74/80

Final leaderboard:

1st: Tom and Rachel
3rd: Lisa
4th: Austin
5th: Christine

Dance Off: Could be anyone really, as it'd depend on the comments and the actual dances (who could have predicted last year's quarterfinal meltdown?)

However... I'll stick with my original prediction on this thread i.e. a Lisa/Christine dance off with Christine leaving. Failing that, a Lisa/Rachel dance off with Lisa leaving.

Yep, who would have thought it (apart from you of course). Psychic powers run in your family by any chance? Know who's leaving tonight??

Hmmmm I think:

Lisa Cha Cha/foxtrot - 35/38 =73
Austin Paso/foxtrot - 35/37 =72
Rachel Paso/waltz - 32/38 =70
Tom Samba/waltz - 33/37 = 70
Christine Salsa/tango - 32/30 =62

Dance off: Tom v Rachel Tom goes home (hopes and prays)
Hate to brag but I got the order right (kind of)

I think the judges have made sure it will be Christine.
