Strictly Come Dancing Betting: The 'Magnificent' Seven

Strictly Come Dancing / Chicken Dinner / 22 November 2007 / Leave a Comment

Logan's run must surely be nearing its conclusion - Chickendinner say its time for Kenny to join Gabby...

Barring a catastrophic fall, this weekend's angry eviction should feature one of the big men.

Kenny Logan, [2.32] to go on Betfair - Now barely even bothering to dance with his partner, Kenny Logan looks the most likely to be lumbering home in tears on Sunday. No one has survived this far on so few points - the desperate Scot has mustered just 133 from six dances (an average of 22). The most flat-footed-can't-dancer to make this stage in the competition in previous years was Julian Clary - he was on 144 (24 average), and ruled the gay vote.

Also ousted at this stage in previous years was Patsy Palmer (series 3) and Carol Smillie (series 4) who had both notched up 167 after six dances. Even crap chef James Martin (series 3) had 155. Logan can only be kept in the competition by the north of border vote.

John Barnes, [3.95] to go on Betfair - With his hunched shoulders and fat frame, Barnes is a horrible ballroom dancer. In spite of scoring 36 for his salsa, and regularly having to grit his teeth at the judges' recognition of his 'natural rhythm', he has appeared in the bottom two on three occasions, the only person ever to get to week eight with more than two appearances in the dance-off. On borrowed time.

Outsiders

Letitia Dean, [5.0] to go on Betfair - Has muddled through, but miraculously she is only four points behind Gethin (171 to 175). Popular with the viewers, regardless of her Strictly Come Drinking barrel-like frame, she may be the biggest beneficiary of the lost Garraway voting bloc.

Gethin Jones, [14.5] to go, and Matt di Angelo ([11.0]) - Only one of these sexless boys can make the final four - there needs to be more diversity when it comes to the final stages. With Kenny and Barnes tumbling out of the picture, one bad dance could spell the end for either, and Mat's appearance in the bottom two already is a big dollop of pigeon poop on his shiny jacket.

Of course, guaranteed safety again are Kelly Brook ([20.0]) and Alesha Dixon ([32.0]). Brook needs to up her game in a big way to make up ground, and could start by showing some raw grit. Her dance partner, Brendan, is not one of the more popular companions.
