Strictly Come Dancing Betting Odds – Who’ll Win The Series?
***LATEST STRICTLY COME DANCING BETTING ODDS! CLICK HERE***
As dumbfoundingly stupid as Strictly Come Dancing is, it can also be weirdly entertaining.
Don’t get us wrong – if we didn’t have the chance to bet on the winner, we’d end up smashing our television in blind rage because of all the concentrated goonery on display. But as soon as you place a bet on the outcome of the series, Strictly Come Dancing becomes oddly exciting – like a horse-race, but with dancing instead of racing. And vaguely famous people instead of horses.
Here’s part two of this week’s Strictly Come Dancing betting odds, with some wonderful help from Betfair.com…
Jaye Jacobs – Jaye Jacobs isn’t really doing very much to grab our
attention. She’s the second-placed female in the competition, but we
still don’t really know who she is. Even the judges gave her waltz the
kind of bland assessment that a teacher writes in a school report when
they can’t remember which kid they’re writing about: "Get together and
act the part". SCORE – 25 – Current odds – 27/2
James Martin – Massive James Martin wasn’t quite as toe-crushingly
awful as we’d have expected in his first cha cha cha. Even if the big
lug did lose credibility points by deciding to dance to a Simply Red
tune. The judges must have picked up on the fact that James is a chef,
because they made all kinds of tiresome food puns, like calling the
routine "a tasty appetiser" and "a bit of a pudding". Oh, our sides.
SCORE – 22 – Current odds – 27/1
Fiona Phillips – We’ll happily admit that we don’t want Fiona
Phillips to win Strictly Come Dancing. Not because we dislike her -
although we kind of do – but because her partner Brendan Cole seems to
be the hissiest, most hateful spandexed buffoon on television at the moment.
The man actually throws tantrums, for God’s sake. Luckily, they
entirely messed up on Saturday, with the judges calling their routine "so
awful, I don’t want to say." SCORE – 11 – Current odds – 33/1
Will Thorp – Will Thorp is another one of these ambulancey BBC
actor types who we don’t know much about. And we missed the bit where
he danced. But the judges called the routine "all Barbie and Ken." For
the life of us, we can’t figure out if that’s meant to be a good or a bad thing.
SCORE – 18 - Current odds – 26/1
Bill Turnbull – Our dark horse of the tournament is doing us proud.
Before he slipped on his sparkly shoes and funny hat, everyone had him
written off as the outsider of the series. But he danced like an old
pro, just as we thought. He’ll have some trouble beating the likes of
Zoe Ball, but maybe he can get Kaplinsky to take a crowbar to her legs
or something. The judges called his cha cha cha "very spirited" and
he’s definitely one to watch for the future. Plus – he keeps bees. SCORE – 29 – Current odds
- 33/1
