Week 2 Leaderboard

So added together with last week the scores are as follows:

(Last week's score, This week's score) [My total score]

1. 65 points (32, 33) - Jason & Kristina [14]
2. 58 points (28, 30) - Holly & Artem [13]
3. 56 points (27, 29) - Chelsee & Pasha [15]
3. 56 points (28, 28) - Anita & Robin [13]
5. 55 points (28, 27) - Harry & Aliona [14]
6. 51 points (22, 29) - Alex & James [13]
7. 49 points (27, 22) - Rory & Erin [12]
8. 48 points (19, 29) - Robbie & Ola [12]
9. 46 points (21, 25) - Russell & Flavia [11.5]
10. 45 points (24, 21) - Dan & Katya [11]
11. 43 points (20, 23) - Audley & Natalie [12]
12. 42 points (17, 25) - Lulu & Brendan [10]
13. 36 points (17, 19) - Edwina & Vincent [10]
14. 26 points (12, 14) - Nancy & Anton [5]

Again the table is fairly in line with expectations and Edwina & Nancy are down the bottom as predicted, Anton's fans are going to have to really spend some on the phone calls to save them as I'm not sure how many fans Nancy is going to have.

I think giving everyone Salsa and Foxtrot in week 2 is very harsh though as these are both quite difficult dances.

I'm predicting Nancy will be going home though.

Saturday 1st October - Leaderboard

So combined leaderboard for the weekend is as follows (my scores in brackets):

1. 32 points - Jason & Kristina (7)
2. 28 points - Holly & Artem (6)
2. 28 points - Anita & Robin (7)
2. 28 points - Harry & Aliona (7)
5. 27 points - Rory & Erin (6)
5. 27 points - Chelsee & Pasha (8)
7. 24 points - Dan & Katya (6)
8. 22 points - Alex & James (6)
9. 21 points - Russell & Flavia (6.5)
10. 20 points - Audley & Natalie (6)
11. 19 points - Robbie & Ola (5)
12. 17 points - Lulu & Brendan (4)
12. 17 points - Edwina & Vincent (5)
14. 12 points - Nancy & Anton (-)

I would personally have Chelsee level with Jason, if not slightly above, but the table is fairly accurate.  A shame for Nancy and Anton, they're going to have to really work hard next week - especially as it's Salsa.

Do you agree with the judges scores this weekend, who would be top of your table?

Strictly first night leaderboard

So the first show draws to a close and the leaderboard is as follows:

1. 28 points - Holly & Artem
1. 28 points - Anita & Robin
3. 24 points - Dan & Katya
4. 21 points - Russell & Flavia
5. 20 points - Audley & Natalie
6. 19 points - Robbie & Ola
7. 17 points - Lulu & Brendan

I'd have put Anita & Robin on their own at the top but otherwise I think the leaderboard is a fairly accurate reflection.

You don't have to wait long for my next round of critiques, just got to press play on the recorder and carry straight on with the blogging...watch this space!

Strictly Come Dancing Final - Saturday 18th December Final Leader Board

1. 150 points - Kara & Artem
2. 144 points - Matt & Aliona

I do think that Kara is a better dancer than Matt, but something tells me Matt might just win the audience vote though...who do you want to win?

Strictly Come Dancing Final - Saturday 18th December Leader Board

1. 77 points - Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan
2. 75 points - Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev
3. 72 points - Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani

So Pamela has ended up on top so far, as I predicted, though I think her Show Dance was possibly over marked.  It's up to the viewers to decide who stays for the final two dances though...who gets your vote?

Strictly Come Dancing Semi-Final - Friday 10th December Leader Board

Leader Board for Semi-Final (part one) is as follows:

1. 44 points - Kara & Artem
2. 38 points - Pamela & James
3. 35 points - Scott & Natalie
4. 32 points - Matt & Aliona
5. 28 points - Gavin & Katya

I think Scott (due to being in the bottom two last week) and Gavin are my current tips to go home.  Obviously I'll know the answer when we go to watch the show LIVE tonight (woohoo).

Who's your tip for the final?

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 4th December Leader Board

1. 40 points - Pamela & James
2. 38 points - Kara & Artem
3. 35 points - Scott & Natalie
3. 35 points - Matt & Aliona
5. 33 points - Gavin & Katya
6. 14 points - Ann & Anton

I'm glad that Pamela Stephenson was the first person to get four 10's, with that performance, as it's the first dance to deserve it this series.

I think Gavin has over marked but still ended up in the right place on the board.

I have to say that Gavin will be in the bottom two, and probably be going home, though I do hope Ann joins him as none of these other dancers deserve to go.  I am concerned that Matt might be in trouble though.

Who would you send home?

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 6th November Leader Board

Leader board this week:

1. 36 points - Kara & Artem
2. 35 points - Matt & Aliona
3. 33 points - Pamela & James
4. 32 points - Jimi & Flavia
5. 30 points - Michelle & Brendan
6. 29 points - Felicity & Vincent
6. 29 points - Patsy & Robin
6. 29 points - Gavin & Katya
9. 28 points - Scott & Natalie
10. 17 points - Ann & Anton

Ann with less than half of Kara's points should really be the one going home, but she is definitely entertaining (and probably contributes immensely to the BBC's 11m viewers).  I think Patsy could be in trouble tonight and Felicity may well join her in the bottom two...it is getting very tight to call now though, especially with no dance-off.

Who do you think will be going?

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 30th October Leader Board

1. 39 points - Scott & Natalie
2. 37 points - Kara & Artem
3. 34 points - Matt & Aliona
4. 31 points - Patsy & Robin
5. 30 points - Jimi & Flavia
6. 29 points - Michelle & Brendan
7. 28 points - Tina & Jared
8. 27 points - Pamela & James
9. 26 points - Felicity & Vincent
9. 26 points - Gavin & Katya
11. 16 points - Ann & Anton

I think it's harsh but Michelle will most likely be going home tonight.  Very difficult to call who I think will join them.  Ann obviously should go but her entertainment factor will keep them in I think.  There's a possibility that Tina's 'pleather' outfit this week might not go down well with the voting public but I still don't see her being in the bottom two.  Gavin's chest might just save him from being there and neither Pamela or Felicity will be in trouble I would say.  This leaves the chance that Jimi might actually find himself in the bottom two.

Am I over-thinking this though I wonder...oh well we'll find out tomorrow!  Who do you think is going to be in the bottom two?

Oh and just because it's Halloween here's my outfit from our social last night:

If that doesn't give you nightmares I don't know what will!

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 23rd October Leaderboard

12 dances down let's have a look at the leaderboard:

1. 35 points - Scott & Natalie
1. 35 points - Matt & Aliona
3. 34 points - Pamela & James
4. 32 points - Kara & Artem
5. 29 points - Tina & Jared
5. 29 points - Felicity & Vincent
7. 28 points - Patsy & Robin
8. 27 points - Jimi & Flavia
8. 27 points - Michelle & Ian
10. 23 points - Gavin & Katya
11. 21 points - Ann & Anton
12. 17 points - Peter & Erin

For me I think Gavin & Katya and Peter & Erin are going to be in trouble this week...I still think Gavin has more to give so Peter should probably go home.

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 16th October Leaderboard

It looks like James won the contest between him and Brendan as to who's Rumba was going to be better (there was just a bit of banter over Twitter this week!), and Brendan certainly doesn't look happy about it.

The leaderboard for this week is as follows:

1. 35 points - Pamela & James
2. 34 points - Scott & Natalie
3. 31 points - Kara & Artem
3. 31 points - Matt & Aliona
5. 29 points - Felicity & Vincent
6. 26 points - Peter & Erin
7. 25 points - Jimi & Flavia
8. 24 points - Patsy & Robin
8. 24 points - Michelle & Brendan
10. 22 points - Gavin & Katya
11. 18 points - Ann & Anton
12. 16 points - Paul & Ola

Only 12 couples this week as Tina O'Brien has chickenpox. 

I think Michelle Williams could be in trouble tonight.

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 9th October Leaderboard

All the couples have danced and the final leaderboard is as follows:

1. 63 points - Pamela & James
2. 62 points - Matt & Aliona
2. 62 points - Kara & Artem
4. 61 points - Scott & Natalie
5. 56 points - Jimi & Flavia
6. 50 points - Tina & Jared
6. 50 points - Patsy & Robin
6. 50 points - Michelle & Brendan
9. 48 points - Felicity & Vincent
10. 47 points - Gavin & Katya
11. 46 points - Goldie & Kristina
12. 38 points - Peter & Erin
13. 37 points - Paul & Ola
14. 29 points - Ann & Anton

No bottom two this week, I think Goldie or Peter are the ones in trouble.  Who do you think is going to go?

Strictly Come Dancing - Saturday 2nd October Leaderboard

Combined leaderboard for both nights therefore is:

1. 31 points - Matt & Aliona
1. 31 points - Pamela & James
3. 30 points - Kara & Artem
4. 29 points - Scott & Natalie
5. 28 points - Gavin & Katya
6. 26 points - Jimi & Flavia
7. 24 points - Michelle & Brendan
7. 24 points - Tina & Jared
9. 23 points - Felicity & Vincent
10. 22 points - Patsy & Robin
11. 21 points - Peter & Erin
12. 20 points - Goldie & Kristina
13. 17 points - Ann & Anton
14. 16 points - Paul & Ola

Overall the scoreboard is as expected, though I wouldn't have put Goldie down there before the show started, it was a pretty awful excuse for a Cha Cha Cha I'm afraid.

Some work required there if some of those down the bottom want to remain in the competition.

Strictly Come Dancing - Friday 1st October Leaderboard

So the first night's over and the leaderboard pretty much agrees with my marking (though I'd have Pamela a mark above Matt on tonight's performance):

1. 31 points - Matt & Aliona
1. 31 points - Pamela & James
3. 29 points - Scott & Natalie
4. 23 points - Felicity & Vincent
5. 22 points - Patsy & Robin
6. 20 points - Goldie & Kristina
7. 16 points - Paul & Ola

I don't know about you but I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night now!

Leaderboard

1. 40 points - Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna
2. 39 points - Rachel Stevens & Vincent Simone
3. 38 points - Gethin Jones & Flavia Cacache
4. 36 points - Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe
5. 36 points - Austin Healey & Erin Boag
6. 33 points - Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan

The leaderboard is pretty much correct I'd say, though I didn't personally enjoy Gethin's performance as much as say Austin's.

Will be interesting to see who the audience vote for though!

Final Leaderboard

Wow four dances later, and only 4 points separating our two finalists:

1. Ricky & Natalie...50...43...48...49...Total 190 points
2. Chris & Ola...46...44...50...46...Total 186 points

A lot closer than I think many people would have predicted, but Chris definitely deserves to be that close to Ricky.

Although Ricky is, on the whole, the better dancer I do think Chris just has the most entertaining personality and I really do think he'll win this one.

But you're the public, what do you think, who are you voting for?

Leaderboard

So after two dances the Leaderboard is as follows:

1. Ricky & Natalie...50...43...Total 93 points
2. Chris & Ola...46...44...Total 90 points

Not unsurprising that Ricky is top, though Chris is catching up after getting one more point from Dary than Ricky in the Lindyhop.

Leaderboard

Combined leaderboard for tonight then is:

1. 96 points - Ricky & Natalie
2. 92 points - Ali & Brian
3. 80 points - Chris & Ola

Overall a fair reflection I think on the performances though I think there's less of a gap between the three of them than the 16 points suggests.

However Ricky's popularity hasn't been as high as the other two the last couple of weeks, and with no dance-off tonight he could be in for a shock exit!

Leaderboard

First dances out of the way and the leaderboard thus far is as follows:

1. 47 points - Ricky & Natalie
2. 42 points - Ali & Brian
3. 38 points - Chris & Ola

Leaderboard

Final leaderboard is as follows:

1 95 points - Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe
2 86 points - Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna
3 80 points - Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan
4 59 points - Laila Rouass & Anton Du Beke

I predicted to Emma last night that it would be a Laila and Ricky dance-off, but I’m going to change that to Ali & Laila as both have really underperformed tonight for my liking, and I think Chris and Ricky will have more (mostly female!) support.
