Twelve weeks and with 2,181 hours of dancing has been put in by the contestants. We have the bookies favourites as follows:
Mark Rampramkash and Karen Hardy are the bookies No. 1 at 11 to 10 and will be dancing the Foxtrot and Samba on Saturday. Two extreme dances as one will be floating, sophisticated, suave and elegant with the Samba being the complete opposite. A charismatic couple who have put in the most hours of practice, 268 hours to date.
The bookies next favourite, lying second, is Louisa Lytton and Vincent Simone
At 2 to 1 with 159 hours of practice, the lowest, due to two weeks of unavoidable absence from rehearsals. Everyone was so impressed with their brilliant Paso Doble, last week, professionals included, saying they were underscored and should have received tens across the board. It was amazing. This week they will be dancing the Cha Cha and Waltz. Once again, two extreme dances. Louisa has been very excited about dancing the Waltz.
Matt Dawson and Lilia Kopylova have put in 233 hours and the bookies have given them a 13 to 2 chance of winning. They will be dancing the Quickstep and Rumba. Matt has improved tremendously over the last few weeks and earned the highest score for their waltz last Saturday. For the Rumba they will have to use shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands, well and not forget raunchy hips. Last week they received the highest score of the series, 37 out of 40
Emma Bunton and Darren Bennett with 191 hours of training in twelve weeks will be dancing the Viennese Waltz and Paso Doble. They are feeling more confident but dread being placed in the bottom two again. 5 to 1 by bookies. They stunned us with their British Waltz last week. Emma is fast catching up on the practice she missed when helping to raise funds for Children in Need, recently.
Carol Smillie and Matt Cutler have put in 204 hours of training. 12 to 1 by the bookies who have predicted that they will be the couple to leave on Saturday. It all depends on their performance, as they dance the Viennese Waltz and Samba. Carol is a beautiful dancer when she concentrates although the judges feel she needs to dance with her heart more than her head.
At the end of each day the dancers go home from rehearsals exhausted, yawning with some napping on the floor, beforehand. So many hours of extensive training before each Saturday’s show. The competition is getting tougher as the gap closes between the couples and anyone could go on Saturday. We have three and a half weeks left to find a winner.
