BBC Strictly Come Dancing - It's Week 9, Who is going out this time ?

Not many weeks left to go now. Week 9 marks the start of serious territory in the BBC Strictly Come Dancing show. Here is how the betting market values each celebrities chances of being eliminated from the dance floor this time round.

John Sergeant 8/11
Jodie Kidd 9/4
Christine Bleakley 7/1
Rachel Stevens 12/1
Lisa Snowdon 14/1
Cherie Lunghi 14/1
Tom Chambers 50/1
Austin Healey 66/1

John Sergeant is odds on to go, which probably means he won't. Judges have never seemed to grasp in these contests, the worse you say about a performance, the more the Public vote for the performer to stay in. There will be plenty of bad things to say about John this week. That is a given.

Taking the Sergeant Factor into account, Jodie Kidd looks extremely vulnerable. Jodie was very appreciative that the voting Public kept her in last week and has promised to give a great performance in thanks.

Rachel Stevens scored a fantastic 35 points last week, but still ended up in the bottom two with seemingly very little or no Public voting support. You need the Public behind you on Strictly Come Dancing otherwise it is very difficult to win. If this pattern continues, the bottom two this week could well be Rachel Stevens verses Jodie Kidd.

If this is the case, Jodie would have to pull off something pretty stunning to stay in the running.
