2 knees, 1 shoulder, 1 rib, 1 toe, 1 hamstring, 1 foot, 1 ankle and an arrest later...

And we are staggering into Week 11 of SCD. Bet there are some high blood pressure problems with the producers as well.

Loving Erin so much this series. She is so laid back, funny and deliberately goofy. I reckon she thinks she is on the way out this series, so she is just enjoying herself. Oh what would have happened if she had been paired with Tuffers...what might have been.

Laila and Anton got their best edit on a VT to date....maybe countering the negativity in the press about her trip to Morocco, maybe a last ditch effort to get Anton to the final, for a symbolic baton change of presenter next year.

So it's a bit hard to predict the leaderboard this week, what with the group VW throwing a spanner in the works and doubtless a few elbows in ribs, eyes and teeth. I imagine Anton and Laila will easily top the leaderboard with this, followed closely by an over-competitive Natalie L whipping Ricky into second place ...or else. Ali on a recently injured foot will have a struggle, with what has been her best dance, which will be a shame. Brian will probably be over protective of her and not even attempt the bun fight that will be getting into position for a fleckerl. Natalie and Chris may just get pushed to the sidelines.

Team Cola could well top the leaderboard this week, with energy, enthusiasm and a dance right up their street. Ricky and Natalie don't seem to be nailing their rock n roll, and it looks rather too much like a jive to me. Ali would struggle with the charleston, with or without the injury; no footage of Laila and Anton; and the least said the better about Natalie and Vincent's cartwheel-less attempt.

At a push, I would think the three girls are the most likely culprits for the dance off, with Ali staying against Natalie, Laila staying against Natalie, but what happens if Ali is against Laila? That will be down to Mr Goodman to see if he can separate his opinion of his old golf buddy, against what is best for SCD....

SCD and ITT seem to be making pretty good use of the evicted pros this series: we have had Matthew and Aliona doing videos for the website, Lilia and Darren on ITT, Flavia supervising group VW training, James doing back stage reports (and doing very well, even if the interactions with Ola and Chris are a little staged). But what has happened to Brendan and Kristina? Are they out of favour with the Beeb, or out of the country or what?

Anyway,roll on tomorrow and let's hope the dreaded dance of the dodgems does not result in a rise in the injury tally.
