There are a lot of contenders and high scores from what I've seen on Twitter from those names you've mentioned but with any show there are always shock exits or shock placings, I don't think at the start of the 2014 we expected Frankie to get so far so don't see why Mollie wouldn't be any different, even with stiffer competition.

Hmm, you just can't compare Frankie to Mollie... :unsure: Frankie started at the top of the leaderboard right away, she never had (literally) less than a 8 from Len and Bruno. And Darcey scored higher than 8 from week 3 onwards as well. The lowest Craig could give to her for "her worst dance ever" was a 7... She was the first to get a "fake" 10 and a first official 10. Frankie was just doing consistently well, bar like one or two weeks near the middle-end.

And she remained one of the favorites from the bookies to win this, especially at the beginning (as she started at the top of the leaderboard).

 

You could argue Frankie was what Aston is at the moment (which is why I'm not sure he will win, lmao :lol: )

 

Mollie is in a totally different situation. She's also a bit unlucky as, from what I can read, people rather hate AJ as they find him full of himself and apparently it's been tainting their appreciation of Mollie. Frankie was luckier as Kevin has a huge fanbase somehow.

 

I'm not saying Mollie is necessary gonna be eliminated in the early weeks, but she definitely has it harder than Frankie to begin with, and even harder now since the competition is rather tough.

 

The good thing she has going for her is that Shirley, head judge, and thus the one deciding who stays in case of a tie, seems to be a biiiig fan of Mollie, so if Mollie finds herself in a bottom 2 against someone who isn't a clear contender, I think she could get out of it pretty safely.

I still feel raged that Frankie never managed a perfect score. She was underscored a lot nearer the end of the competition when the show decided Caroline should be the winner.

Mollie will be dancing a Salsa to "Súbeme La Radio" :cheer:

Ooh, I'm excited for this one!

Sadly no, I would say this is actually one of the strongest line-up, potential-wise.

 

Debbie, Alexandra, Aston are all extremely good, and very early on. People like Joe, Davood and Gemma can all give Mollie a run for her money, even if I believe that on a pure technical point, she's above all of those (and WAS better than those on Saturday night, but she was undermarked).

Jonnie is a paraolympic athlete that is truly learning to dance so he can snatch a beautiful "journey" story.

That's just

a whole lot

of contenders.

 

Hopefully people vote for Mollie and keep her through long enough so a few of those get eliminated and she snatches their votes.

 

 

Mollie she secretly push them of the stairs.

 

Honestly I'm still vex Frankie didn't win, when she was obviously the best. I hoped Mollie could avenge her, but the reading this, perhaps I shouldn't get my hopes up.

All I’m saying is no one expected Frankie to do so well and Mollie might surprise us! :P

I expected Frankie to do well from the get go and she was top in week 1! I still expect to at least see Mollie in the bottom after the 2 or 3 obvious next elimines are out; Simon, Charlotte, Susan etc.

 

Alexandra FTW!

I want to know is Tim on Alex side or Mollie's.

 

And if he's on Alex side, will we have a war or what ?

Typical Tim.

We saw a lil' bit of her Salsa on ITT today. :cheer:

 

The armography looks great. Mollie right at home with that :lol: Get that Sats experience on the dancefloor :lol:

 

Hips looked great, but she totally forgot to place her feet, so footwork was not even decent. It was only Tuesday's training so it's fine, but hopefully that doesn't happen on Saturday, as she could have a little moment there with a Salsa, especially if it's towards the end of the show. :)

Typical Tim.

😘😘😘😘

There will also be a Frollie moment on Strictly this week -- Frankie drops by to show support and give Mollie some advice :wub:

It is lovely for Frankie having two of her friends and her former dance partner all on one show :wub: more Frankie screentime please!

Mollie found herself at the second half of the leaderboard today (well she could have been on the first half, but she had the same score as Debbie, and Debbie got the last place on the first half of the leaderboard).

 

This is quite worrying.

 

There are a lot of ties on the leaderboard this week as well.

I was disappointed by the salsa. It just felt like there was something...missing? You can tell Mollie is thinking about the moves which is making it hard for her to look natural and connect with the music, the audience, and AJ. I think she's OK for now but could see her placing ninth or tenth if she doesn't step it up soon.

100%, she is so going to be out soon if she doesn't get it together. She's fine, not a bad dancer by any means but she's coming across as distinctly middle of the pack a lot, last week she shone a bit more but when there's the likes of Susan, Davood and Jonnie who she could easily compete with improving every week and leaving her in the dust, she's definitely technically better than Susan and Jonnie imo and probably Davood, but she lacks that likeability and connection which I think all three of those have and it's showing in their dances compared to her. hen Gemma who was below her week 1 has already emerged as a contender and is 2nd on the leaderboard.

She's safe

Hmm Davood is a goner, let's be real.

 

Jonnie and Gemma are the ones that are stealing the "journey" angle from her.

 

She really needs to set herself apart from the middlers.

 

It's hard to know whether or not she's getting another Latin or Ballroom next week. It could go either way. I think she will be much better at Ballroom, so hopefully this is it.
