It seems that things may finally be turning around for Pete Wicks and his dance partner Jowita Przystal on Strictly Come Dancing. Despite consistently landing at the bottom of the leaderboard, the pair have managed to avoid the dreaded dance-off thanks to the support of the public. This has caused bookies to label Pete as the favorite to leave the competition with odds of 3/5, followed by Montell Douglas at 5/4 and JB Gill at 6/1.
However, the duo has been given a stroke of luck as they prepare to perform a Waltz to "Somewhere" from West Side Story. Research from SlotsCalendar has revealed that out of the last 71 eliminations dating back to 2018, only one celebrity has been sent home after performing a Waltz. This favorable dance style may just be what Pete and Jowita need to defy the odds and make it through to the next round.
But they aren't the only ones facing a tough challenge this week. Musical week has brought a diverse range of dance styles for the other contestants, with varying levels of success. Montell and Johannes will be taking on the notoriously difficult Rumba, which has been responsible for ending the journeys of five celebrities in the past. Meanwhile, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola will be channeling the energy of Wicked with a Charleston to "Popular", a dance that has resulted in 12.68% of eliminations in the same period.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chris McCausland and Diane Buswell, the current favorites to win the show, will be performing a Quickstep, which has only led to one elimination in the past six years. Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec will also be dancing a relatively safe Argentine Tango, which has also only resulted in one elimination.
As for JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, their Viennese Waltz is another relatively safe choice with only two eliminations attributed to it. However, Montell and Johannes will have to tackle the challenging Rumba, which is the only dance to have never received a perfect score of 40.
All six couples will be taking to the dancefloor this Saturday for the quarter final, with Pete recently having to remind viewers that it's just a dance class and to not take it too seriously after receiving death threats. You can catch all the action on BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday at 7.05pm, with the results show airing on Sunday at 7.20pm.
