Strictly Come Dancing is starting to hot up. Most (but not all) of the duff contestants have been eliminated, leaving the more frighteningly ambitious dancers to slug it out, all while they’re dressed up like performing monkeys and grinning like tampered-with corpses.
Yesterday, we looked at the first half of the Strictly Come Dancing contestants’ chances of winning. And – let’s face it – those who we profiled yesterday (Zoe, Colin, Patsy, Darren) are probably the Strictly Come Dancing front-runners. That leaves the gormless, two-left-footed, spammos – and they’re the ones we’ll be profiling today.
Here’s part two of our Strictly Come Dancing betting odds to win rundown, with help from Betfair.com…
Dennis Taylor – Now that clumsy old Fiona Phillips has been shown
the Strictly Come Dancing door, the judges are gunning for Dennis
Taylor. His Paso Doble was excruciating to witness – watching him strut
around his prone partner was like watching some nightmarish puppet
version of Quincy acted out by fey zombies. The judges agreed – "That
was absolutely woeful," he was told. SCORE – 15 - Current odds – 220
James Martin – Cheeky old James Martin: as well as dancing with his
partner each week, he’s also giving her a jolly good seeing to as often
as he can. Which you’d think would help their chemistry, but you’d be
wrong. This week, James didn’t so much dance as waggle a bit of cloth
around. The judges said "It had a fantastic start, but it just didn’t
go anywhere." SCORE – 29 – Current odds – 40
Will Thorp – We’re still nowhere near knowing who the blinking flip
Will Thorp is. Which means – again – we’re at a loss for what to
actually write about him. He did a dance, it was OK, that’s that. A
judge told him, "Tonight Will, you have graduated as a leading man!"
Well, we wouldn’t go that far – SCORE – 34 - Current odds – 34
Bill Turnbull – It looks like our initial enthusiasm for Bill’s
dancefloor prowess was a little bit premature – it turns out he’s
actually pretty rubbish. Maybe he’ll pull it all together for next
week, but chances are he won’t, and his blokey enthusiasm won’t get him
much further. The judges told him "It was a bit like a Paso from
Pinner, rather than one from Spain. It was common." SCORE – 25 -
Current odds – 150
