BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2008 - Week 11, Tom Chambers Chasing a 10

He has remained 2nd Favourite for quite some time, but Tom Chambers is yet to score a perfect 10 from any of the Judges. This fact is starting to rile him and he will be determined as ever to score one this week as the final looms only a matter of weeks away.

Tom Chambers has scored a vast amount of nines in Strictly Come Dancing and last week, his Tango picked up another 4 of them!

Is 10 possible for Tom? Is he always destined to score 9?

Well... 10 isn't completely out his reach and I'm surprised he hasn't been awarded it already. Some of his performances have been superb.

This week the remaining Celebrities have to battle their way through two dances, making the task all the harder. Tom has the Waltz and the tricky Samba. The Waltz gives him a fantastic chance of finally nailing that elusive 10 score.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing - Week 9, Tonights Dances

Heather Small was eliminated last week and Rachel Stevens surprisingly found herself in the bottom two. In Strictly Come Dancing this year, seemingly anything can happen. Three couples shared first place on the leaderboard and John Sergeant went through without a scrape.

What dance is everyone performing this week for round 9? Here is the list.

Austin Healey & Erin - Tango
Tom Chambers & Camilla - Salsa
Cherrie Lunghi & James - Cha Cha Cha
Rachel Stevens & Vincent - Rumba
Lisa Snowdon & Brendan - Samba
Christine Bleakley & Matt - Waltz
Jodie Kidd & Ian - Quickstep
John Sergeant & Kristina - American Smooth

With a solid definite styled dance like the Tango, Austin Healey has a great chance of bouncing back from last weeks troubles to top the Leaderboard.

The most talked about dance with the British public is most likely to be John Sergeant's American Smooth. This really is car crash television and its obviously what the people at home want. All we need now is Harry Hill to do the commentary.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2008, Week 8/9, Is Lisa Waltzing to Victory?

Are Lisa Snowdon and professional dance partner Waltzing to victory? Well... they very well might be!

After a fairly modest start to Strictly Come Dancing, Lisa Snowdon has shown she is more than capable of Winning the Title. Not for the first time this series, Lisa finished again top of the table after the Judges votes and has to be considered a serious contender.

This beautiful Viennese Waltz scored a high total of 36 points to land joint-top with Tom Chambers and Cherie Lunghi.

The four judges all gave glowing praise.

Head Judge, Len Goodman said, "...from week one you are the most improved dancer of this series."

This week Lisa Snowdon has to successfully navigate the Samba. This dance has caused a number of the celebrity dancers a few problems. It saw the demise of Andrew Castle and was Jodie Kidd's lowest scoring dance so far. But... if anyone can do it, Lisa can!

BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2008 - Week 8 - The Dances this Week

It's Strictly Come Dancing, it's Week 8, the competition is now starting to get tough. Survival is everything as distant thoughts of the final begin to enter the minds of those left in.

What dances are being performed this week and by who? Well, here's the lineup,

Jodie Kidd and Ian - Samba
Rachel Stevens and Vincent - American Smooth
Heather Small and Brian - Tango
Christine Bleakley and Matt - Jive
John Sergeant and Kristina - Cha Cha Cha
Cherie Lunghi and James - Waltz
Tom Chambers and Camilla - Quickstep
Austin Healey and Erin - Rumba

In training, Austin has been finding the Rumba a little awkward, but should go through without much difficulty. Apparently he has been struggling with conveying the emotional side of the dance.

Jodie Kidd's Samba could be tricky. The Samba felled Andrew Castle previously and is a dance to try and get out of the way. She is much better at the Ballroom dances.

Cherie Lunghi should be back in the groove this week after two relatively poor weeks for her. She has remained in the contest however and is now back to a better suited dance for her, a Waltz.

If Mr Sergeant is rescued from the bottom two again, the dance off could be very tense indeed. John has a great chance of doing this as I'm sure, many people only watch the programme, to see him. John Sergeant has the entertainment factor in spades and is a joy to watch... but, for all the wrong reasons.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2008 - Austin Healey, the one to beat

Austin Healey certainly looks the one they have to catch this year. After a dip in performance last week, week 6 saw him bounce back with the Viennese Waltz performed with professional dance partner, Erin Boag.

A great dance which saw Austin top the leaderboard with 34 points, 2 points clear of nearest rivals Tom Chambers and Rachel Stevens.

In was never in doubt that he would qualify into Week 7 and frankly, it will be a major shock if he does not reach the final. Although, in this competition, you can ill afford to be complacent.

The big four strongest supported in the market are, Austin Healey, Tom Chambers, Cherie Lunghi and Rachel Stevens. I wouldn't completely rule out Lisa Snowdon either as she continues to improve.
