old sitcoms are getting a hard time because they were all about fellas perving over younger women
Cant take to him at all, why did they give him that VT? confirmed his prattishness
B2 bounce going to be tested. Might be enough with so many runners though.

Leaderboard position saves Charles, will be close to bottom of vote.
the QS bits were brilliant
too much recreating the routine for me tho

Faye enjoying a lot of favour even getting this iconic routine
Faye is a pro performer. Can't see the pv being great though.
she's delivers a dance really really well, better than Ashley tbh
thought she might open this week, but probably too good
yep, her west end experience telling when it comes to 'acting' a dance
Still think Stacey has done the best routine tonight

cunning with lack of ties again. Top work squares as always. Many thanks 
this feels a bit flat after some of the dances we have just had
seconded, thanks squares for your scoring. I dunno how you can score while adjusting two or three markets at the same time
Pimp due to the song I guess, sq. Stacey would have been better.
I made it through the rain to get back tonight
lol squares. I thought you'd get that reference 
top/lowest markets......ash and lee would have been great, faye and lee still ok for me
Series taking shape like many before it. Great female dancers at the top of the board with a dubious pv.

Of course Ashley and Faye would have been shorter in the past, market too wise.
yep, a cracking show. Seann & Katya's one of favourite ever dances. Plenty of other great dances too
Recall Kim from GA being in the d/o early doors. Rachael from SC struggled on the pv. And the Blue boys.
Rachel was a fembot. Plenty have made the final. Albeit only one girlbander won. And she was lucky 
Gio is probably a help. Still don't see Faye turning around the ringer status enough to win the OR, but I am keeping her positive for the time being.
Caroline probably the biggest ringer. She had weeks, if not months of ballroom & latin training, for the dancing on wheels show. Even competed for the UK in the World Champs with her partner. She was last iirc :D But not surprising as she was up against pros
Yup, though probably not a ringer in the public's eye. I've taken a different approach to this series (apart backing from Ranj!) and been trading most of the runners. I have eight positive results currently, including Faye. Plus a few bad ones!
Dance off- Charles and Lee. Lee gone home

you'll have to do better than that lou. great too see you again btw.
scd decent liquidity, when did that happen? more matched than xf. it's had much higher viewers than xf for a while but the market was much thinner in recent years.

glad lee is out. he was self-absorbed and un-self-aware in cbb. nobody in this bb or the cbb just gone remotely as unlikable imo.
It's strange. I can't really remember him in cbb. I think he's come across ok on strictly. But ok isn't enough this year. Lots of very likeable celebs. Or with a strong following.
I doubt Nadiya is a positive either.

Craig, Darcey and Bruno saved Charles. Shirley would have saved Lee

I quite liked Lee to be fair and thought he came across as a decent chap. I don't watch CBB and haven't a clue about his band but thought he danced well and going on pure dance ability (which I always like to) I think there were only 5 or 6 actually better than him so very harsh IMO.

Could be, I'm going to catch up today but as he's out won't be watching his dances anyway. I never thought the audience crossover would necessarily be big enough for his CBB performance to effect this btw, just a personal delight in not having to watch him.
No white t-shirts, danzaa, but pleasing all the same.

I think I'd have saved Lee. Charles not great in hold
only Shirley would have saved Lee.
I preferred Lee's routine too.

Someone has to win and with no obvious MEM friendly male winner, there aren't many other options.
I guess Joe is the closest to that default male winner. However I was expecting his ballroom to be better. Given it's not great they should be able to dispatch him before the final.
Vick & Lauren have been disappointing and it's hard to see either making a serious challenge.
Charles not very likeable and not as good as he thinks he is.
Danny going backwards and looks his age at times when dancing.
Ranj, Graeme & Sean look like also rans. Good fun at the faster dances, but not great overall.
Katie very likeable, but would need a miracle to improve enough to challenge
I guess you could make a case for Kate. The judges seem to love her for some reason.
Which leaves Stacey, Faye and Ashley. I could be way off but Faye beats Ashley every day of the week in the pv when it counts.
So more than happy with my 2 big greens. Stacey & Faye
"Still don't see Faye turning around the ringer status enough to win the OR"
Does Faye have a ringer status? First I've heard of it. Steps were just an average middle of the road pop group weren't they?
Unlike say ****cat Dolls who were pro dancers first and singers second.

She's a trained dancer H
Faye trained at the Anne Gale School of Dance where she achieved advanced qualifications in all aspects of dance, including Ballet, Tap and Modern. After her A-levels she then began dancing professionally with the Belinda King Dancers for two years and sang at the Hilton Hotel Park Lane London until joining the international pop phenomenon that was STEPS.

But certainly going by DS Ashley is the one who takes all the 'ringer' flak
OK thanks I hadn't heard anything on sm but I've seen the Sun and Mirror mentions now.
If anybody's interested - she was trained in dance, as many in showbiz are, and then worked for a company specialising in cruise ship shows.

The public aren't that dumb, and it's obvious from the start that Faye was more than capable. She's a professional 'performer' too.
I can't envisage a set of circumstances that will allow Ashley to win. I feel Faye could win but would need the stars to be aligned ie be up against Ashley and another beatable runner come the final 3/4.
The market has to balance the likelihood of the ringer females of winning with the chances that they will make the final.
Joe is being firmly pigeon holed into the teenie pleasing category, even though he's 27.
Stacey has a fair bit in her favour at the mo.
There's looks to be a shortage of genuine contenders right now, but with so long left, given the last few years there will surely be some twists and turns yet.

I think your summing up of all the runners and riders is pretty good below.
Seems the obvious two better dancers both have experience so not ideal yet of all the others only perhaps Stacey ticks all the boxes as Joe very likeable but is he quite good enough dancewise?
As Cider says though early doors at the moment so still all to play for,
