Ricky & Natalie
Chris & Ola

Not bothered about the 3rd since Zoe left - as long as it isn't Craig, i wouldn't be unhappy with any of them!

1st: Ian & Jade - I adore Ian, and think he brings the best out in Jade, who improves every week. It's also his turn to win I think - always the bridesmaid never the bride - so far
2nd: Ricky W & Natalie - despite the slightly smug attitude, I begrudgingly admit he is a fabulous dancer - LOVED his QS last week.
3rd: Natalie & Vincent - although not one of the best dancers, her passion for the show and the way she throws herself into every routine is a joy to watch.

They are easily the best dancers. I like Jade and Ian the most.

With Matthew Cutler, I think Laila would have been in contention, and if Katya was legally permitted to use a Tasar, so would Phil.

Phil's laid back attitude infuriates me. If he can't be bothered to train why should we bother to vote for him?

Ali and Brian .I love watching them and would love them in the final

Chris and Ola , simply because they are good fun ,NOT acting as if it were life or death .I love the way Chris listens to the judges and can laugh

Jade and Ian , they are good to watch and once again fun to and not too anal about the whole thing
snap! A good mix of quality dancing and entertainment and the 3 best (imo) partnerships! Will never happen though, unfortunately!

Ali and Brian i really hope they can win i have always loved brian and i really like ali think she seems adorble and they work perfectly toggether plus they are the best dancers

Ricky and Natalie i like these two and although it has taken me a while to like there personalities they is no denying they are amazing dancers




Laila/chris,Jade Any of these 3 for third place laila's ballroom is beutifull but she has got to get better at latin ! chris is a lovely guy and i enjoy his trips on clauds sofa but his dancing just does'nt do it for me and Jade is improving the most and i would prob like to see her in the final with ricky and ali

But basically aslong as ali's there she can be there with craig and natalie for all a care

No particular order

Ricky G - as others have commented, he is always great entertainment value. Despite not being the best dancer, he really does justice to Erin's choreography.

Ricky W - undoubtably the best innate ability, but has consistently under-delivered. Finally gave a "wow" dance last Saturday, I expect more to follow.

Jade - the girl rarely puts a foot wrong and has given the most clean, consistent performances of all the contestants. I love her spirit and admire her determination. Ian: "who's the teacher?"

PS: This was quite difficult as I enjoy watching Tuffers, Laila, Chris and Natalie too. But it's saying something that at this relatively late stage there are only 2 celebs leaving me cold. Great series.

but let's face it, it's not going to happen, they can't compete with the cheeky chappies and chappess as far as the voting goes.

It's so bad but everytime someone has both Ricky W and Ali on their list I just think "Boooring."

If this happens it'll be the worst final to date, for me. And it could well happen! Unless they're up against each other in the DO.

I agree with you and frankly don't think Ali's dancing deserves to put her in the final. I really don't. Sure she can hold a pose and be led around the floor in ballroom, but give her any actual dancing to do and it is apparent she hasnt mastered balance yet

1. Ricky and Natalie
2. Ian and Jade

Those two are clearly the best dancers in my opinion, and I feel they are capable of producing something "a bit special"..let's face it, that's what we look foward to every year. Ricky seems a "natural"..probably the best male celeb we have seen at the early stages of the contest. I don't see why he should be castigated for that..did people say the same about Jill Halfpenny ?
Jade is improving ever week, but this week will be her biggest test. Nail the jive and she will be in with a shout.

I'm not sure about number 3. I have a fear that Ali might be this year's Rachel. I liked her in the beginning, but a bit less "simpering" please Ali. Simper..I looked it up to make sure.."to smile in a silly, self-conscious, often coy manner".That's about right.
Of the rest, I'm not too bothered. I have a small bet on Laila, but can't really see her winning. Ricky G, Phil, Chris and Natalie are all likeable characters..even Craig is not quite as bad as some people seem to suggest.

Chris and Ola - Just a fabulous, natural partnership. The two of them have better chemistry than any other couple on the show and it is really obvious in their routines. He has great potential and I'd like to see him improve.

Jade and Ian - I remember way back in series 2 when I couldn't stand Ian. How times have changed! There's lots of steady improvement here and I like her confidence.

The third one I am completely torn...

Either Laila and Anton - She does the most beautiful ballroom dances, her tango is still one of my faves from this series.

Or Ricky and Erin - Erin always gets the best out of her partners with good choreography and Ricky is no exception.
