17th Hayley Holt 1.72%
16th Ola Jordan 3.29%

Another lady who rated poorly. Ola was one of only 3 professionals who nobody voted as their favourite, but she only came bottom of 4 votes which is lower than most. Her best SCD performance was 5th with Kenny Logan last year.

No surprises so far although if This poll had been done a week later I reckon James would be somewhere near the bottom!

He was at the bottom of my list even then!

16th Ola Jordan 3.29%
15th Karen Hardy 4.23%

Big shock for me. I knew Karen had her haters but I thought she also had a lot of love too. Not the case if the results are anything to go by. She topped only 3 polls and came bottom of 30! Which was the second worst after Hayley. What a difference a couple of years can make. I imagine if i'd done this poll during the Ramps series she'd have been right up there...

My guess is Nicole or James next!

15th Karen Hardy 4.23%
14th Brendan Cole 4.35%

I was surprised here too! Would have expected James to be a certainty for lowest rating male. Our second former champion falls early. His stats are a lot better though. He topped 9 polls and came last in 14. He is joint 4th on most first places and 4th on most last places. A definite marmite character.

Wrong this time Lisa

Ok now it's Nicole or James I can't see any of the others being marmite, they will al be liked in differing degrees surely!

16th Ola Jordan 3.29%
15th Karen Hardy 4.23%
14th Brendan Cole 4.35%
13th James Jordan 4.36%

Only 3 points separated James and Brendan. I really don't like James and would have expected him to be in the bottom 2. He didn't top any polls and came bottom of 5. Surely Ola and James topping no votes is a sign that they really aren't that well liked and the BBC should consider giving them the boot next time? I certainly wouldn't miss them

13th James Jordan 4.36%
12th Camilla Dallerup 4.44%

One of few who have appeared in all of the series, DS members have never really taken to Camilla. She came top of 3 polls and bottom of 8. She's either too thin or a a bit scary and over-the-top in her dancing. Personally I think it wouldn't be bad idea for her to tone it down a bit. Still like her though. And I loved Gethin, come back Gethin!! She seems to underperform with good dancers each series, never quite making it to the final. Will she put an end to that this series?

11th Nicole Cutler 4.61%

Nicole was axed this series but this result would seem to indicate that was a mistake. Nicole's basic stats are awful - top of no polls and bottom of 17. However her points gained elsewhere were enough to put her above supposed favourites Karen, Brendan and Camilla. Sadly she never got the chance to shine with her partners. Nicholas out first and John Barnes who only did well on the salsa. Could a return be a good idea?

Why drag all this out? Wouldn't it be easier to just post it all at once?:yawn:

I will be back at about 9.10 after the X Factor finishes to reveal the all important top 10

Given the amount of time it took to count the votes I think i'm entitled to do it a contestant per post. I'd hardly call it dragging it out. If you don't like it then get out of my thread.

Saturn, I like the way you are doing this, with your additional comment on each one!!! You are doing a great job! I keep refreshing to see whose next!!

Much appreciated. I hope your favourites are near the top when we return later

You evil, evil person - how could you do this to us. I'll never be able to wait that long! OMGOMGOMG!

the tension is building this is ace Saturn, thank you.

(you wouldn't happen to accept bribes, would you?)

Yes I'm am enjoying the way you are doing it too Saturn. Interesting reading your comments. Will look forward to your return

I hope so too! They haven't appeared yet! Not sure I can wait till 9 p.m. The stress!!!!! Will you reveal them one at a time for added nailbiting?

Hmm maybe I can do a few more. 10 is a nice round number though isn't it?

Of course

11th Nicole Cutler 4.61%
10th Anton du Beke 5.92%

I'm too nice Anton topped 2 votes and came bottom of 2. I'd have expected higher numbers for both of those results. Still 10th is good, although given that he's arguably the most well known professional (along with Brendan) you might argue this is an underperformance.
