Yeah, this is where Kirstie's lack of stamina becomes a real worry.

Ralph goes first....

Looking forward to reading everyone's comments. Hopefully it doesn't turn out as predictable as I'm thinking, and that Ralph and Kirstie stand a fair chance.

ETA: No surprise Ralph goes first. I was thinking Chelsea goes last, but it might be Hines/Kym after the news of Kym's injury.

I hope it is not predictable; I keep thinking the winner take all Cha Cha will go to Mark & Chelsea though. Hopefully I am just being pessimistic.

That winner-take-all cha cha is just an excuse for the judges to shove Mark and Chelsea through to the finals, regardless of how anyone else feels about them. Ick.

So does this mean Chelsea goes last?

That's what I'm thinking, too. I had read that the way the people compete are the 1st and 4th couples go head to head, then the second and third. I thought that meant where they were on the leaderboard at that point, but I'm wondering if it's the order they're performing Hopefully Hines takes it. Maybe if Chelsea gets 2 perfect scores they won't want to make it too obvious but giving a 20+ lead. It's why I hated the marathon dances.
