It's so obvious that Pixie, Jake or Frankie will win Strictly Come Dancing.
Pixie or Jake will win it.
Frankie will come 3rd.
Thats a pretty solid top 3. I can't see anything breaking that.
Either Simon, Mark or Caroline will take the final spot if its a four person final or come 4th.
I think Simon probably has the best chance going on the last two weeks.
Sunearta(sp) and Steve are not in the race as far as i am concerned.
NO SPOILER HERE. The evicted contestants name is left in here anyway so do not worry. My prediction was based on BEFORE i read the spoiler so not to worry no hints here at all.:D
I had this all pegged weeks ago. I'm just glad Thom's not in it, never liked him. It's nice that Mark and Simon have improved so much.
What a race this year though, it's so obvious but really it could be anyone's game so much more exciting. Last years All Female final was amazing too - it really was just neck and neck.

As it is spelled phonetically and the correct spelling is all over these threads it wouldn't take more than a second to check. I'm just a bit of a stickler for these things.
The point being, I suppose, that any competition should be won by the best participant - who is not necessarily the one who improved the most. Would anybody think it odd for, say, Usain Bolt to have his 100 metres medal taken from him and awarded to a rival who had improved more than he had, but come second? I also disagree with your assertion that the best dancers have not improved over the weeks. I think they all have.
You're right of course but I know what the competition means for me and it's the most improved and by the end very good contestant who I root for. Chris Hollins wasn't that type of winner for me but that's usually what we get in the end I think.
Or something.
But Usain Bolt is competing against people who have undergone the same training programme as him for the best part of 15 years, not just some one who rocked up from the Dad's race to give the Olympics a bit of a go.
I think Pixie and Jake are near enough certainties for the final. Judges choice and viewers choice respectively. But I think the third place is up for grabs. Simon has improved enormously, Caroline doesn't do a lot wrong, but may not have the public support. Frankie is technically superb most weeks, but can come across as rather dull. Mark has improved, but I get the feeling he'll be a rather marmite character with the public..his association with Towie won't help.
The best dancer has won quite a few times - not always, I grant you. But Kara, Alesha, Ramps, Jill (that one is arguable as Denise was great too), Harry (although I was supporting Chelsee, he did better in the final), hell, even Natasha (best of a bad bunch).
And, to me, the jury is still out on whether Pixie is the best dancer anyway. A couple of the others have come on in leaps and bounds and could potentially catch up or even overtake her.
The one who came second would have had much the same training. That does not negate my point.
I don't think that will matter this year as so many of the contestants had previous. It's only when there is an extreme imbalance between participants that the general audience get tetchy and tend to go for the underdog.
I appreciate that as the years have gone on, the judges have mellowed their bias of technique over entertainment factor that they once had. I think that's a good thing. After all, we are repeatedly told that certain techniques take years to master, so it is only fair a virtual handicap, such as is given in golf, for example, is applied on the show.
Oh and out of the top few, I feel that Pixie has improved a lot; compare her week 1 performance to her Paso last week for example. I'm not so sure that Frankie has gone forwards but I can't help but feel she is going to be getting more votes as she seems to annoy people less for some reason!
Not sure Pixie is as popular with the public as the other girls, so could see her eliminated before them actually.
When do the judges stop having a say?
The last dance off is in the Semis, so unless Pixie's in the dance off with Frankie, or has a meltdown in a dance off against someone else, she's literally guaranteed to make the final, as the judge's'll save her in all other situations.
The only contestant that could even potentially knock Frankie out would be Pixie. But even then in the bottom two I'd see Craig saving Pixie as he seems to really enjoy her dancing, I think Darcey has a small disliking towards Pixie and would save Frankie, Bruno would save whoever danced better in the dance-off and Len would almost definitley save Frankie as he absolutely adores her!
My Predictions for the coming weeks:
Week 9 - Sunetra & Brendan Vs Steve & Ola
Week 10 - Simon & Kristina Vs Sunetra & Brendan
Week 11 - Caroline & Pasha Vs Mark & Karen
Week 12 - Pixie & Trent Vs Simon & Kristina
Fourth - Caroline & Pasha
Third - Pixie & Trent
Second - Jake & Janette
First - Frankie & Kevin
*italic represents who left the competition.
The judges only stop having a say in the final. Their scores are only for reference the placings of the top four is all on viewers votes.
Go Pixie and Trent. I want a Teamtrixie win.
