I think Tom may chose the QS in the final if he is there, so may do the AS again next week.

I think you are right about the QS in the final. He only has to go for the public vote then and it is ideal for that.
Well I hope that the judges mark them down if they dont change the coreography enough from their previous one !!!!! I think this is a bit of a cop out to be honest.

I'm with you on that. I thought the Hustle looked a mess, even danced by dancers as good as Brian and Kristina, whereas their Mambo was one of the best ever - especially Brian, so I would like to have seen it chosen.

So is the dance to the same music? Or will it be new music and even new dresses?
I would like Rachel and Vincent to save the Tango and Rumba for the final.
Each couple must play the semi-final on the assumption they will be in the dance-off. Consequently, they should be looking to score at the very least a 38 in one of their two dances.
To this end, I hope Vincent isn't silly and chooses a Latin for the semis. He should go with either the Waltz or Foxtrot as a relatively safe high scoring option.
Their AT should be great as long as Vincent resists the temptation to throw everything including the kitchen sink at it.
And if the Tango this week provides any indication of how hot their AT might be, I fear they may just vaporise anyone sitting within a 50 yard radius of the dance.

I think it works quite well on DWTS - you get to see how far they have come throughout the show.
Not a cop out at all for me, it's a very good idea. Certainly better then having another new dance that is new for the pro as well.

I'm a little worried about Rachel in the AT as I thought this week's tango was still a bit under-passionate. Lisa, I think, could do a top job - any time sizzling chemistry's been required she and Brendan have delivered, and Brendan's choreography should be fantastic.
So, is it one of each, or can they do two ballroom/two Latin?”

The AT is all about passion, attitude, 'clean' raunch and facial expressions. I feel Tom will have the most difficulty seeing how he struggled with generating some sexual heat in the rumba. Never mind the facial expressions which will probably be all over the shop
If he does his 'paso face' then I'm running for the hills:yawn: are you kidding me?My pick for a convincing AT (besides Vincent/Rachel because it's his speciality) is Lisa/Brendan. They have the hot chemistry and fiery personalities.
Should be all guns blazing

No idea. Hopefully we will hear more on ITT tonight.

Changed my mind, I think Rachel and Vincent should take their Foxtrot and Rumba into the final.
And dance their Waltz in the semi-final.
Then Vincent could choreograph a tango-esque showdance for the final.
On the BBC SCD website it says Tom & Camilla have chosen the Jive.
Could be real crowd-pleaser but is it a judge-pleaser?
I'm glad they've gone for a whizz-bang sizzle dance - big gamble but really hope it pays off.
Way to go Tom & Camilla!!

I loved his jive, this one should be even better.
A bit of a gamble I would say in a possible dance off situation. I am suprised they are not also re-doing the quickstep.
Ahhh, a good opportunity to improve there then 
I haven't the foggiest idea what Rachel and Vincent are going to do
Not even a vague thought.

Damn, I missed Tom's jive first time round and I'll miss it again this week 
I think that's an interesting choice on his part - mind you, he probably is the best Latin dancer left in the competition and it's probably a smart move not to take on the girls at ballroom.
I hope this means he's saving the foxtrot up for the final

I reckon the salsa'll be back out for the final, complete with extra shimmy

Her ballroom is so lovely so whatever they do will be a treat.

I think for SCD, it's classed as a Ballroom dance, it certainly was on tour as Vincent and Louisa danced the AT for their Ballroom dance. I think the fact it's pretty much all in hold means it's classed as Ballroom.
Why isn't it the mambo? They should make everyone do a latin dance to weed out those who can't do the latin <cough Lisa cough>.
Well dangerous and risk taking again from Camilla. She will lose the dance off already. Shes going for the 1st or 2nd place with no back up. I hope it pays off and they get to do the QS and AS in the final.
A very risky choice. Lisa will be dancing her Quickstep and you would expect a 39/40 for that.
If Rachel and Vincent have chosen their Waltz (or Foxtrot) then again 39/40 is a good bet.
I can't see Tom and Camilla achieving extremely high scores with either the Jive or AT. I'm surprised he rejected his Quickstep or AS.
In fact, with this dance I now expect him to score less than either Rachel or Lisa and be placed at the bottom of the judges leaderboard. And if he's in the dance-off and faces a 39/40 dance, he'll probably go the way of Austin.
