Yesterday we took our first look of the week at the latest Strictly Come Dancing betting odds to win the season. And what did we learn? We learnt that Zoe Ball isn’t as good as she thinks she is, that Patsy Palmer isn’t as hopeless as she used to be, and that Colin Jackson’s dancing routinely has us in stitches.
But what of the Strictly Come Dancing contestants who we didn’t profile yesterday? How likely are they to win the series? Not very likely, probably – they’re all useless.
But here’s the second instalment of our Strictly Come Dancing betting odds rundown, with help from Betfair.com…
James Martin – Now, as far as chefs go, we quite like James Martin,
purely because he looks like he can’t be bothered with cooking most of
the time, and he’ll throw any old crap into his dishes. That kind of
behaviour should be applauded. But he’s not a very consistent dancer.
This week we missed his routine, but we’re beginning to wish we hadn’t.
Why? Listen to what one of the judges told him: "Sometimes you looked
like a murderer." A murderer! Genius! SCORE – 28 - Current odds – 35/1
(36)
Fiona Phillips – Fiona is the most hopelessly untalented dancer we
have ever seen. The judges couldn’t outwardly despise her any more if
they set her hair on fire during her routine. Despite this, the viewers have
refused to vote her off Strictly Come Dancing, maybe as a punishment for
not being as good as Kate Garraway on GMTV. On Saturday, one of the
judges obliquely told her "You need Paul McKenna." SCORE – 16 - Current
odds – 109/1 (110)
Will Thorp – Will is now the least famous person on Strictly Come
Dancing, and we’re ashamed to say that we haven’t even bothered to do
any real research on him. So we’ll just say that he inexplicably chose
to Jive to Man! I Feel Like A Woman, and the judges sort of mumbled
something about his "beautiful torso." SCORE – 25 – Current odds – 35/1
(36)
Bill Turnbull – Bill Turnbull has defied his early critics by
dancing a little bit better than Dennis Taylor. We’d like Bill to win
Strictly Come Dancing, but that is very obviously never going to
happen. He’s probably only got three more weeks left on the show at the
most – which is a good thing, as it’s affecting his newsreading
credibility. The judges seem to think so, too: "That was very camp and
passive," one told him. SCORE -20 - Current odds - 89/1 (90)
That’s all the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for this week, but in the meantime, check out Betfair.com to see the very latest Strictly Come Dancing betting odds for all this season’s contestants. And you’ll even get free stuff when you join up – look…
