I tagged Jade and Ian as potential winners after the quickstep and they just keep reinforcing their potential. That was the first time I ever remember enjoying a foxtrot. My favourites by a mile this week.

I also dropped in a vote for Team Cola, because I love them... however, I'm now convinced the problem is not Chris's execution (which, OK, is not perfect, but is pretty good), but Ola's choreography. There was about 10 seconds of cha-cha in that dance, and nothing that showed off what Chris could do if pushed a bit.

Ola has never had to stretch a celeb before and it's starting to show. Step it up or lose out, girl!

Ali and Brian

and Team Cola

Got to be Ricky W & natalie for me their quickstep was brilliant

I voted for Jade and Ian for the first time, after having supported Ali and Brian all the way through the series so far - still love them, but Jade and Ian just get better and better and better, I LOVE them!

My favourite couple on scd this year is Vincent and Natalie

I love Ricky and Erin because they always entertain me with Phil and Katya a close second for the same reason...they both know they're not the most talented dancers but their personality and attitude really do it for me.

My favourite couple is Ali and Brian, but if you were to ask who I think are the best dancers, then I would probably have to say Ricky and Natalie.

As for "what is going on" (presumably meaning Ali v Zoe in the dance off) as opposed to Craig and Ricky (& Erin) the answer is simple: the Brits generally there are of course exceptions prefer losers and 'underdogs' to anyone with talent and - heaven help them - a competitive spirit. Sad, but true.

Jade and Ian again this week for me. I think they have the best energy, chemistry, grace, routines and sparkly trousers!! I also admire the way Jade handled being in the dance off, she just built a bridge and got over it, no 'poor me', no 'nobody likes me' - just, if you liked the foxtrot, vote for it!! She's improving every week. IMO it was the best dance of the night (well apart from Ricky W's - that was just fantastic)

Surprisingly, I'm going for Chris and Ola.

Natalie and Vincent.

Loved Tuffers aswell and Laila but I just love watching that Jive .

Jade and Ian

My favourites are still ali & Brian i can believe they where in the bottom 2

My favourite is Chris and Ola but I am liking Ali and Brian and Jade and Ian.

Ali and Brian

Since the public won't vote for good dancers, there's a possibility that the best dancer won't win this year. Seeing as this is the case, I'm backing Chris and Ola because they're both so sweet and charming. Second place to Tuffers and Katya for the same reasons.

No doubt Jade & Ian!

Ali and Brian

Tricky one ... love Ali and Brian but am warming to Jade and Ian as well as Ricky and Natalie - the QS was amazing

Its still Phil and Katya but Chris and Ola and Jade and Ian are becoming my 2nd fave. I'me even starting to warm to Ricky and Natalie. I like him but still cant stand her. She seems a bit much.

This is hilarious. If Ali&Brian are favourites why were they bottom 2? Did you vote? I know I did! And Craig&Flav only have 2%! DS forum members are clearly in the very small minority!

Still Chris and Ola

Laila and Anton - lovely!!

I see Ricky and Natalie's vote has picked up a lot this week. I wonder if they'll pick up more votes as the less able dancers drop out.

I agree tho' I wouldn't mind if Jade and Ian won. Not a Ricky W fan, I'm afraid.

Ali and Brian.
