Hurray! I think you're the only person to have the same three as me!!

Love Natalie and the wonderful Vincent, adore Chris and Ola (Yeah baby!) but think that the amazing talented Ricky W should lift the glitterball aloft!

Jade & Ian
Chris & Ola
Phil & Katya

Both Chris & Phil are perfectly capable of improving, so it would not only be a competitive final, but a tremendous amount of fun, as well.

My favourite couples are

Natalie and Vincent
Chris and Ola
Ricky and Erin.

However, I think the 3 best couples are

Ricky and Natalie
Ali and Brian
Jade and Ian.

So I'd be happy with a final that features any of the above 6 couples!

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.”

Worse than Natasha Kaplinski and Christopher Parker ? (whatever happened to him btw ?) It was the first series, and we all enjoyed it..but looking back, they hardly set the pulse racing. Well, Natasha might..but not for her dancing.
Even last year, you have to thank you lucky stars we didn't get Rachel Stevens and Lisa Snowden...boring. There were a lot here that wanted to get rid of Tom.

Ricky & Natalie- because I love to watch him dance and I fear that World War Three would break out on here if he didn't make the final.
Chris & Ola- because I love their partnership and the fact that they're not taking it too seriously.
I'm torn between Jade & Ian and Natalie & Vincent- Jade is a fantastic dancer and I love Ian, but I also love the way Natalie is so enthusiastic, it's wonderful to watch. Oh, and I love Vincent

Jade and Ian - I have enjoyed all of this couple's dances, love how Jade is finding her inner 'girly', and adore Ian.

Natalie and Vincent - I love her enthusiasm, and think her jive was fantastic to watch - I look forward to seeing her dancing and on ITT.

Chris and Ola - love these two!! I was a big fan of Chris on Breakfast before the series started - hilarious on the bike ride for I think Comic relief with Carol the Weather lady. Ola is as gorgeous as ever (girl crush) but this year I am loving her sense of humour as well. They are a great couple, and again I enjoy their dances each week and their times on ITT.

There are probably other reasons (all deep-seated and psychological like) why two of my choices are not the 'best' dancers, but basically for me the show is about people learning to dance and having fun in the process, and not spitting the dummy if things go wrong. These 6 embody that for me - OK, Jade's a bit fiery, but editing and all that.

Jade to win, hope it's joint second for the other two!

Oh I didn't watch the first series. I started at S2.

I am so glad Tom was there last year & honestly, it was my favourite final. Seeing Lisa come third after getting 80/80, Tom's wonderful showdance (and Lisa's no-so-wonderful showdance!), screaming and hugging my friends when Tom won and seeing the judges faces at the end made for a very enjoyable night.

I just feel this years final will be rubbish if Chris isn't there. I know it's only half way through but nobody else is very inspiring for me.

Aaaaaaaanyway, got a bit carried away there!

Now that Zoe and James are gone I am not that bothered. I would hope the best dancer Ricky W will win, I will also cheer on Ricky and Erin aso Phil and Katya. I hope I havn't put the mockers on my runners up.

My top 2 are:

Chris & Ola - I love these two! They are so lovely together, and although he c*cks up on occasion, I still believe he has time to improve and hopefully go all the way.

Natalie & Vincent - After spending last year purring over Rachel, his relationship with Natalie has reaffirmed why I love Vincent. They may not be the best dancers, but I think she is great and they are brilliant together.

Then I'm torn between Tuffers, Ali & Jade. Blimey - that's 5 (oops!) and I even like Laila's ballroom!

Well we both obviously have excellent taste.

1. Ali and Brian

2. Ricky and Natalie

3. Ricky G

It was Chris but hes going down in my estimation now It appears to be more about appealing to the public and less about mastering the dance. The 'yeah baby' is wearing thin when its not backed up with any decent dancing. Come on Mrs Jordan - less catsuit more content please!

Jade & Ian - consistently good dancing with an edge.
Natalie & Vincent - enthusiastic, they'll keep it upbeat
Laila & Anton - for their grace and style

I'd like Ricky & Erin there too for the fun factor and Erin's clever choreography but I'd also like to see Chris and Ola make it just to hear the biggest 'YEAH BABY' ever so I guess I'm giving you my ideal Quarter Final

Its not usual for me this year - I find myself moving more towards personalities than the better dancers.

Ali and Brian are my favourites - she is a good dancer and I like her partnership with Brian. She engages me when she dances (although last week she didn't)

Natialie and Vincent - love their partnership and love that she really looks to be enjoying herself when she dances. I like the choreography and the dancing grabs me every week.

Craig and Flavia - shoot me I know!!! However I find his "dad dancing" entertaining and love the fact that he gves it a good go every week and really tries. I think Flavia's choreography helps.

I know this thread isn't about this but Snorzville for me this year are Ricky W and Natalie, Anton and Leila and Jade and Ian. All good dancers but all deadly dull imho.

What she said

As long as that soppy girlie Ali doesn't get into the final, I can live with any other combination, although these three are my wish list. Jade really tries hard, can dance by herself without overbalancing [see, Ali, it can be done] and just gets better each week. Chris & Ola are lovely together and Tuffers is a real dark horse.

Ali & Brian: A beautiful couple who seem to get on so well. Fabulous contenders. She's done some beautiful performances this series.

Jade & Ian: Wasn't keen at first, because I couldn't warm to Jade. She's blossomed so much and they're lovely to watch.

Ricky & Natalie: I know they're not the msot popular, but I like them. Yes, at times they can be a bit overbearing, which may come across as smug, but I just think they're confident, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. No doubt he's a great contender.

Ali & Brian: I really like them together and I think she's a lovely dancer.

Jade & Ian: Great partnership and she has improved steadily.

Phil & Katya: Love Phil and I'd be more than happy to see him in the final.

If any of the above were to go I would include Natalie & Vincent, Chris & Ola or Ricky & Natalie.

Well, I was a Tom supporter..and a straight male.
I just didn't care for Rachel or Lisa, there are enough attractive girls among the pros to keep me happy, so I tend to go for entertainment value from the celebs in the dancing. However, sorry about this, I just don't think Chris is anywhere near the standard of Tom last year. I suppose there is still time, but it will have to be a spectacular improvement..unless my memory is playing tricks on me.
Anyway, I wish your selection luck..Chris is my wife's favourite as well.

Ah, I know that about Chris. Tom was brilliant, better than all these Rachel and Lisa fans seem to remember. It's a bit disappointing but Chris is just so cute & cuddly looking! I love his personality and he still has time to improve. Fingers crossed! Thanks I hope my lot do well.
