2.7 is pretty generous though but can’t see judges voting him off.
They won't be able to mark them down but there was reports they were all calling for them to quit ahead of last weeks show - yes I watch it every week and not missed an episode since around 2007SeaHorseRacing wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 8:07 pm2.7 is pretty generous though but can’t see judges voting him off.

i watch it too religiously. here is my opinion of what may happen on saturday,
Obvioulsly sean and katya have lost the public vote, that is a given. the judges cant just vote them off, they have to be seen as impartial and judge only on the dancing and not their personal lives.
so this is how it will play out.
sean and katya will be in the dance off, the question is who will they be up against.
my guess is that they will be up against someone who is brilliant (lets say Faye or Ashleigh) or they will be up against either Katie or Lauren. (sympathy voting)
now they will vote sean and Katya off in either scenario and will not look to be the bad guys,
because if a briiliant dancer is against them, they are expected to go. And if its Lauren or Katie, then they are seen as sympathetic to disfigurement/ disability and again come off as the good guys.
So in that respect it might be an idea to lay either of those 4 for elimination this week.

Seann & Katya are putting more work into their routines than anyone else and for all who saw last Saturday's Paso Doble to The Matrix Theme their work is paying off. Katya is reigning cahmpion and her choreography is first class - if in doubt watch again here:

There are others in the show who are still working during this series and they will fall behind in ability - Seann isn't one of those. They are dancing a Charleston - has anyone ever been voted off when dancing a Charelston? I can't see Seann & Katya leaving this weekend - both will know they will have to up their game but last weeks judges comments were very positive and the 'mistake' happened last Wednesday not this Wednesday.

Interesting takes, and I thought I'd be the only one who never misses it. Like Memphis says, it'll be a Sean vs someone. I can't see that someone being Ashley or Faye, they both looked great in training, Faye has got fans and Ashley is likeable did well on IACGMOOH. Katie, maybe, Lauren, maybe.... But also Graham Swan looks in danger to me and that might be a close call between him and Sean. Will be pretty tough for Sean and Katya doing the most smiley dance there is.
I backed Stacey on day 1 at 11 and have savers on Faye and Joe. I'm holding those for a while still. Can't let my heart rule my head though because I'd like to see her win.
My picks, Strictly (Stacey) , Apprentice (Jackie) , Bake off (Manon) , Big Brother (Lewis F)..... god bless the autumn schedulers.

I remember the year Matt Cardle won, Peter Webb and I were exchanging tales of our massive greens on the market

Even Big Brother used to have decent liquidity, these days the amounts on offer are pathetic. Only £88K matched on the Big Brother market in 4(?) weeks for this year. The specials markets used to be easy money but I just don't bother with them these days , there's far too little money either side of the spread and the time spent checking the market/show isn't worth the effort for me anymore. I'd guess there's still half decent money to be made for anyone who actually keeps abreast of, or interested in, the shows and understands how to make a market though.
Just had a look at the SCD 3rd elimination market as people are saying 2.7 is available and fair enough 2.7 is on offer to a mighty £6

No, not watched it for years, it's too formulaic. Yes it's some 'sad shit' but if you also watch/read/listen to a lot of serious stuff, then sometimes you need an antidote. It's also not just about watching what I want to watch either, it's about engaging in things other people in the family like too. It's sociable telly you can talk about around the dinner table.MemphisFlash wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 5:57 amyou watch some sad shit. bet you even watch the X factor
The markets for them are a lot weaker then they were, so I only have a small interest... not everything I do has to revolve around money so I'd watch them even if there wasn't a market. It makes a nice change from human suffering and planetary destruction.

My family think I'm this psychic - whenever there's a final vote I'll pop in 5mins early & tell em who's gonna win. There's just enough gap between the market getting suspended & TV delay
They were super impressed when I got the Voice winner right!
