My Winner prediction: lemme take a risk this year, and i choose Zara, don't know why but have a hunch the public might take to her nicely, as well as the inspirational storyline regarding her and her great documentaries, that and she isn't coming across as your stereotypical ''reality star''

You said you weren't getting involved in anything to do with Strictly?? No games or threads at all? Not even watching it you said.

[Nicky91]

You said you weren't getting involved in anything to do with Strictly?? No games or threads at all? Not even watching it you said.

yeah well you told me to grow up so that's what i'm doing, moving on

and we all know that is pretty much bull**** of me not watching this lovely show


i just won't obsess about anyone in particular as i like almost everyone in the line up, for me personally it is a very strong year, a visually good looking bunch


but yeah i'm making no ''fanclubs'' if thats what you mean, am too old for that, i will post the week by week songs and dances threads, in a news article like i had been doing past few years, to also mention who's performing in results shows etc

[Kate!]

:rolleyes:

I'll add you.

[Lmmac2711]

Can I I change my mind to ellie

[Strictly Jake]

I want to change to Bobby

[Nicky91]

changing mine to Bobby


am 150% certain it's gonna be Bobby


with all his dance experience, and his sob story

[Kate!]

Yes I'll make the requested changes.

[Vanessa]

changing mine to Bobby


am 150% certain it's gonna be Bobby


with all his dance experience, and his sob story
He said he can't dance.
But he's young, so I think he'll be good anyway.

[Kate!]

Bump

[Mystic Mock]

Can I join please?

I'll guess that the winner will be Bobby.

[Kate!]

Added Mock

[Kate!]

Any last minute takers? You have until the start of tonight's launch show.

[Nicky91]

Week 2

Dance Off: Zara & Graziano vs Ellie & Vito

Eliminated: Ellie & Vito

[Nicky91]

might still change my prediction once i've seen them all dance but based on popularity and who i think the public will be voting for


maybe Zara turns out to be in a more safe zone position idk, it is good she has the Cha Cha Cha on a non-elimination week as Graz was eliminated many times on that one and likely a ballroom for week 2


basically me doing some maths which viewer demographic will go for who

[Kate!]

Yes you may change your prediction nearer the time if you wish

[Kate!]

A little over 24 hours until the first live show. :amazed:

[Mystic Mock]

Bottom two prediction - Krishnan vs Angela S - Krishnan to be eliminated.

Bottom 2: Jody & Jowita vs Adam & Luba

feeling incredibly nervous this week for Jody, with his slight injury, i hope he can dance though, he said yesterday was going slightly better than wednesday but still out of precaution not rehearsed to give his leg more time to heal, so hopefully he can dance tomorrow night, and have rehearsed today :fc:

[Vanessa]

Jody leg has an infection. I wonder if he'll be well enough to dance....

[Nicky91]

one good thing, Jody did manage to rehearse the full routine on monday and tuesday



maybe if he is able to perform, not doing one of the lifts, to not stress his leg any more than he has to


we'll get to know this tonight on it takes two as the friday panel are reviewing the couples their studio rehearsal footage or training room footage + they told us last night they would make the decision today before going to the studio

[Vanessa]

I'll wait to see what dances they have before I decide.

[Nicky91]

not gonna make my prediction yet, until i see the list of the dances for this week



although safe to say Adam will likely have another strong crowdpleaser routine in his couples choice


for all we know we might see our first shocker of the series now, new week for everyone new chances tbh, and like we saw couple years back, Aston being booted out on a weaker moment, no one is safe

we haven't had Layton hitting the dance off (danger zone) either so whenever he is stuck in middle zone he'll likely hit the dance off as i can't see his fanbase being too strong

[Nicky91]

Bottom 2

Bobby & Dianne vs Angela S & Carlos


Eliminated: Bobby & Dianne

[Strictly Jake]

The first few weeks have been easy to predict who's gonna go. But now I'd say it's slightly tougher.

I'm thinking Krishnan may be gone this week but I'm not sure

I'm gonna say

Krishnan and Lauren VS Zara and Graziano in the dance off

[Nicky91]

Bottom 2

Angela R & Kai vs Ellie & Vito

Going Home: Angela R & Kai

Nobody scored any points this week.

[Mystic Mock]

Didn't you say that Zara would be eliminated this week Kate?

And I'm sure Strictlyjake had Zara in the bottom two.

My bad if I've got it wrong.

Anyway my prediction for this next round will be.

Bottom two - Layton vs Angela R - Angela R gets eliminated.

[Nicky91]

Bottom Two

Layton vs Bobby

Layton eliminated



feel a absolute shocker coming (and good riddance we finally get rid of that ringah)

[Kate!]

Not many predictions for this week.

[Nicky91]

for this week

Angela S vs Layton


Angela S eliminated




surely Angela S is on more or less borrowed time now (i don't see her improving that much) and tbh as for Layton, the lesser people you have remaining, the more you're gonna have to rely on public votes too, and i cannot see him being popular at all



don't think Angela S got what it takes to take him out, but honestly i can see a Bobby being capable doing so (whom also is quite well loved by the judges) and tbf Layton almost runs out of showy dances, now it comes down to technical ability for him and he has his flaws technique wise too



when we get further into competition, Nigel vs Bobby could go either way depending on who has what dance, who has a better performance, who sells it better to the judges




@Kate no stressing pls, we all know Angela Rippon getting to Blackpool and being eliminated there on likely a Samba, wouldn't be surprised if she gets couples choice this week? with some contemporary/ballroomy/jazzy number



am curious when we will get the Bobby sob story couples choice although they have to play it clever, and about him, and not play the jade goody card, also make him relatable, rather than showcasing he has two famous parents

[Nicky91]

changing my prediction slightly


Angela S vs Annabel



Angela S eliminated

[Vanessa]

Angela R vs Khrishnan. Khrishnan out.

[Mystic Mock]

No Mock, you've not got it wrong. I must have had brain freeze. Oh dear. I'll update the scores shortly.

It happens to all of us tbf.

My prediction for this weekend

Bottom 2

Angela R
Angela S

Out Angela S

[Mystic Mock]

Bottom two - Angela R vs Annabel - Annabel eliminated in a dirty way, similar to how TXF eliminated Aiden over Katie despite being far more popular with the public.

[Nicky91]

Bottom two

Angela R vs Angela S



Angela S eliminated, because she still is very inconsistent

[Nicky91]

my prediction for this week


Angela R will deffo be there i reckon, given how unpopular she is compared to the rest


will be important for the others not to finish below her on the leaderboard


as for the other, maybe Angela S can avoid it as the Tango Argentino is a crowdpleasing dance even if just mediocre

Ellie won't be in the dance off, even a half bad charleston is still a crowdpleasing vote winner and she is super popular so


Bobby might have his breakthrough week maybe?


Annabel could be forgotten with that waltz AS


Nigel idk he's had great weeks but he's also had some lesser good weeks so for him to hope he has a great week and not a bad one, has a good song and dance anyway



i'd say Annabel as my second prediction, but tbh she has what it takes normally to outdance Rippon but every week is a new week so yeah you don't know, especially in a open year like this one

[Nicky91]

Bottom Two

Angela & Carlos vs Layton & Nikita


Angela & Carlos eliminated



i do not like the sound of Layton's American Smooth at all, as well as me finding its oh so quiet annoying and i cannot really believe there being many fans of his out there



Bobby on couples choice might be really good chance for a bounceback vote (as well as i just think his fans thought he was safe on his highest score to date last week as well as performing first certainly did not help either same with Claudia and AJ back then also with a jive a show opener at blackpool, also in the dance off that year)



Nigel might be in trouble if he makes mistakes again (and idk how long people will forgive him for those mistakes tbh)

[Vanessa]

Angela S and Bobby. Angela leaving

[Mystic Mock]

I'm with Nicky on this.

Angela S vs Layton - Angela S eliminated.

[Nicky91]

changing mine after seeing training clips


Annabel vs Bobby


Bobby eliminated



the worst two based on training footage tbh



feel like Angela could surprise top of the leaderboard if she gets her cuban breaks and straight leg action right, but she looked great in training


Nigel also top 3 of leaderboard potential in training not bad rumba walks at all (male celebs always have it more difficult with this dance, and this looked great so fingers crossed the nerves don't get the better of him this week)

[Kate!]

Angela S v Annabel

Angela leaving

[Strictly Jake]

Nigel VS Angela

Angela leaves

[Nicky91]

Bobby vs Annabel


Bobby eliminated (just delaying his execution with his fake sob story card)

[Strictly Jake]

For this week I think it will be

Nigel Vs Annabel

Annabel sadly eliminated

[Vanessa]

Bobby vs Annabelle. Bobby leaving.

[Nicky91]

Bobby vs Layton


sadly Bobby leaving :( but honestly top 5/quarter finals so it's always going to be tough now at this part of the competition, so nah not gonna stress anymore from now on

[Mystic Mock]

Bobby vs Annabel - Annabel eliminated.

[Vanessa]

Bobby vs Leyton. Bobby leaving.

[Nicky91]

now for the semi finals


if Ellie manages to climb over Layton, then Bobby only needs a stronger vote than Layton and Annabel (with Annabel below him currently on the board, he might have the edge over her slightly)


could see a Layton vs Annabel dance off happening (and then it all depends on how well Annabel dances her Viennese Waltz because i'm sure her salsa won't be a too high scorer)


Bobby has two good dances i feel

with the paso - main thing what should be worked on there are spanish lines, capework, the attitude is somewhat what can be recycled from his tango and AT but tbh you don't have to be too over the top with your facial expressions what Shirley said after Annabel's Paso

with the quickstep - he already done the charleston so those bits are easy to re-use, his ballroom frame looked lovely in the american smooth VW (apart from the hand placement issue but he has been working on his hands last week so)




nah i predict

Layton vs Annabel


tough one for elimination but sadly Annabel, i'd love to be wrong then and for Annabel to take out Layton

[millyrose]

Bobby vs Leyton. Bobby leaving.

Agree i think there's a good chance of this happening they have both been
in the dance off recently.

[Nicky91]

Agree i think there's a good chance of this happening they have both been
in the dance off recently.

who says Layton can't have an off week


especially when u got two dances where you really cannot put ballet moves into or even make a showdance out of (Rumba)

and Charleston has its limitations in terms of performance, you have to stick to the technique in that (and it is Craig's fave dance so i wonder if he messes up if Craig will be honest or biased positive for theatre boy)

[Vanessa]

Agree i think there's a good chance of this happening they have both been
in the dance off recently.

Yes. I think Ellie and Annabelle might go through because of their public vote.

[millyrose]

Yes. I think Ellie and Annabelle might go through because of their public vote.

I agree

[Mystic Mock]

Bobby vs Annabel - Annabel eliminated.

I suspect that Layton will top the leaderboard and will be second from bottom in the public vote.

I predict that Bobby will be second from bottom on the leaderboard, but bottom of the public vote, thus going into the bottom two.

I think that Annabel and Ellie then duke it for the top two (god knows in what order) in the public vote, but Annabel will come bottom of the leaderboard, giving her between 4-5 points which will be enough to send Annabel into the bottom two.

Now please predict the winner. This is worth 30 points, so Vanessa could potentially topple me from the top and win the game.

I'll predict Leyton will win.
