I honestly think Ricky has already won this. That won't devestate me, but I won't be voting for him. It's not that I don't think he's a good dancer - he is. It's not that he's not entertaining- he is! It's her - she scares me, really scares me! I really don't like watching her and I don't like their partnership.

Im not convinced he'll win tbh... he certainly WONT be kicked out during a dance off- even if we lose one of the other contenders at the same time...
I think this is a bit of a Lisa Snowden/Rachel Stevens scenario... popular with the judges, but not got that "X" Factor (scuse the pun! |

He won't win. Last 2 probably. He might win against Ali but I don't see her getting that far. The public wouldn't choose him over any of the others.

He's a great dancer, but he bores me. He doesn't have the X factor that makes me want to watch him perform. Not like Ramps or Austin or Jill or Alesha or even someone like Gethin Jones.

I think the problem might be Natalie. She's Australian and they're generally very competitive. She doesn't get the whole "British love a plucky loser" or we love the "ever so 'umble" contestant, so we really don't appreciate her constant whining and pushing of Ricky.
We want them to look like they're having fun and that they're grateful for the support or marks they get, not constantly whinging that it should have been more. She's a fantastic dancer, but her personality leaves me cold. They're also taking it a tad too seriously, alright way too seriously and we can't see the fun in their relationship. I think that's true of most of them though, only Ian and Jade seem like they're actually having a ball, rather than being tortured with hot metal cattle prods! |

I agree with Dollystanford. It'll take one slightly below par effort in latin, and if he finds himself in the dance-off with someone like Jade or Ali he could be in a lot of trouble... |

I like their relationship because they have full blown arguments. Out of all the couples in the series theirs seems to be the most honest.

Natalie's clearly very determined and wants to win and is driving her naturally talented pupil all the way, something that is bound to divide the viewers. I thought his performance last night was outstanding and that it was a bit mean of Craig not to dust off his 10 simply because Ricky has "bandy legs". They've dished out 40 for comparable performances in the past - and well before the final.
However by way of comparison it is Katya that I cannot take to, she comes across to me as very focused on self promotion and I cannot help suspect she's less than thrilled that she's been given a reasonably competent but not outstanding partner in Phil. My position here may be no more or less logical than that taken towards Natalie and Ricky by others, though. |

He should win. He's by far the best dancer this year.

Because in Britain you're not allowed to be good at something and popular.... the two don't go together.

The judges will save him though against any of the others - he is a dead cert for the final imho.
