Could Mark Wright win?

I never thought I'd say this, but if I were a betting person I'd put money on Mark winning. I'm sure it will be either him or Frankie, but it was always a given that Frankie would be good. Mark is what the show is all about, he's gone in there with very little dancing experience and he's grown week on week. He never fails to surprise me.

I'm so surprised by how much I've taken to him, because I thought I'd really dislike him and presumed he'd be an early casualty.

It would also be on in the eye to the odious Jordan's if Karen were to becoming a winning pro;-):D

    Although I would be delighted if Mark won I think there is just too much competition this year and it could be any of them really (not Judy though!)

    enjoyed their dance tonight, he could be a contender for the final, but he isn't the best of the male dancers really, and i'd prefer to see simon there.

    No. I dont think so. He is VERY divisive as a contestant. A lot of people STILL dislike him for whatever reasons (no matter how well he dances and is improving ) and others like him...with barely any middle ground.

    I agree.

    Either Mark or Simon for me.
    Which makes me wonder whether they are splitting a certain percentage of the vote, as I'm probably not the only person who likes them both.
    If so, it's not looking like a win for either of them. :(

    I absolutely agree with you. My feelings exactly ! Well done Mark.

    Not to win but I think he will have done himself an enormous amount of good. His enthusiasm is admirable-he really is living it.

    Although he's my least favourite contestant, he could win. They are pushing the same storyline as they did with Abby Clancy and unfortunately people are going with it. Pixie, Frankie, Jake and Caroline are all much better dancers. Mark is in the same cluster as Sunetra and Steve - any of them could get there if they keep the public behind them.

    I can't really take to Simon, possibly because I've had the misfortune of encountering the band "Blue" in person and thought they were an arrogant bunch of tosspots. Maybe he's changed though?...

    it is great that Mark is gradually becoming more popular every week.

    He has been my favourite from week one, and he got my six votes this evening. :)

    There's always one contestant other than the non-dancer who polarises opinion on here and this year it seems to be Mark. But I don't think the forum is necessarily reflective of the public vote as a whole, I suspect he's more popular than he is on here.

    But I don't think he'll win - either Pixie or Frankie will. Mark may make the final, but I think only one of the male contestants will, and it's a three-way battle between Mark, Jake and Simon at the minute, especially as Simon's upped his game so much the past couple of weeks.

    I had the same feelings about Mark and still do. I hope neither him or Simon win.

    I hope not, that head is already over inflated.

    "I need to bring back cheeky Mark"

    - who says that?!!

    Loving Mark's journey, and I've warmed to him (despite hating TOWIE and not being a Karen Hauer fan). Being an ITV celeb might hinder his vote in the end. He comes across as more genuine and likeable than Simon, so I think he'll outlast him & Kristina.

    I was not a Mark fan & when his dancing was average it wasn't a problem. I could say I didn't like his dancing, but it was something about him I just did not warm too.

    My view has changed Because in the past 2-3 weeks he's been fantastic & he's getting better & better. I don't think he'll win unless he has gained a mass of support. Would love him to get to the final though;-)

    I hope so! He is improving so much week by week & he seems to be having an amazing time which is so infectious. It's hard not to enjoy his performances. I'd love for him to win and if not him either Simon or Jake.

    I don't know why but I expected Mark to be a hopeless dancer.

    He really has surprised me.

    I put a bet on him at the start so i hope you are right.:cool:

    He's certainly a strong contender.

    I wouldn't mind if he did. For my money, he is the most improved performer. Pixie thinks she has a divine right to be there and she just irritates me for no real reason other than she does. I like Frankie (I really fancy Frankie :D ) but she has always been good as has Pixie. Simon performed well on the intro show and was always good but had a bum deal with a couple of dance offs. Mark is the one that has gone the whole nine yards as far as I can see. It has done him a load of good and shaken off the Towie nonsense image. I can't call it because everyone is a much of a muchness, or they will be when Judy finally goes.

    If he can make it to the final, I suspect he has a very strong chance, even more so if it vs two ladies.
