In order, Ricky, Natalie, and I struggle to separate Phil and Chris. Ricky, Ali and Jade are the best three, and Laila in the middle. Unless the public is bloody minded, or someone either falls over or gets as unlucky with the allocation of dances as Austin was last year, the finalists are pretty clear cut, as should be the semi-finalists. (The only other thing that may change this is that Phil and particularly Chris clearly get on very well with their professional dancers, and the public vote often reflects the enjoyment of the ease of relationship between the professional and their celebrity - Ola and Kenny Logan or Darren and Letitia spring to mind). Which is why in my view it's such a shame that Zoe left last week, and, for that matter, that Martina Hingis left in week one.

Pretty much sums up what i think except i quite like Laila.

I'd say Ricky G and Natalie as the worst left and i'd prefer to lose Natalie next week.

Jade just doesn't register with me and while Chris and Tuffers i agree are getting by mainly on personality i do think Phil has been undermarked in the past and Chris really redeemed himself tonight.

You have it wrong. The judges would be delighted if ALL the couples danced well. They didn't pick on Craig to upset him but in giving honest criticism.

Don't rate Ricky G at all - also he seems arrogant and full of himself relying on 'popularity' to get him through.

I lol'd

Seriously though, the weakest seems to be Ricky G. The judges will pick on him and Tuffers before they pick on Natalie.

The judges would be stuipd to "pick on" anyone poor next week....otherwise the public just might save them......and then we might have another "shock" exit.

Personally I would like to see Tuffers go next - just because I find it difficult to watch him dancing (however, he is very popular - so this seems unlikely), technically I guess Ricky G is now the weakest and may not have the votes to save him.

I hope it will be Natalie next , she is doing my head in with all the childish zeal...her OTT enthusiasm is wearing a bit thin now, and imo the judges have been very kind to her.

Well said Wingpatrol!

Natalie is so vastly overmarked it's laughable! She should have gone weeks ago.

Toss up between Natalie C and Ricky G.

I think it's between Ali/Ricky W/Jade for the final. I'd like Ali to win, but will be happy as well if Jade does, just not Ricky W.

I think Ricky G - it's hurts to say but if he can't nail a fun dance like the salsa then he's in trouble especially since with two latins on the trot and three ballrooms left to dance he's going to be doing a ballroom next week and unless it's the qs then his personality won't help him nor will his Sandi Tosviking head posture unless Erin can get that sorted out by Saturday. It hurts to say it because I like him and find his dancing entertaining but he probably should and will go next.

I'd like to see the so-called judges doing their jobs properly and just sticking to judging the dancing failry and consistently and offering positive criticism and advice for improvement.

I am sick of seeing them stroking their own egos and behaving like brattish squabbling children.

If they did that then gradually the weakest dancers would leave unless saved by the GBP who are entitled to their say because they are paying for the show and the judges' wages.

Ricky G, Natalie then Phil. I definitely agree that the judges have been too kind to Natalie. None of her dances have really been any good, but I think she's very likeable. Ricky W, Ali and Chris for the final.

Ricky G, so I don't have to listen to that awful Eastenders accent any more.

There are no bad dancers left. SCD isn't really dancing - it's competitive dancing. Put these people on a dance-floor at a dance and they'd be better than most of us lot sitting at home. They all have some sense of rhythm and are doing the best they can. Sometimes they are trying too hard and making funny faces or counting or they trip.

None of them is a bad dancer.

I agree, unfortunately. Him and Erin are my favourites and I really want them to step their game up next week, though.

Tuffers has always treated it as a bit of a joke, as he does "A Question of Sport" (which is). He doesn't put the hours in and relies on his "personality" which irritates me. So I agree it should be either of those two who should go next, then Natalie.

Totally agree.
