OK - we are racing through this series. Who do you want to win and who do you think will win

Over to you

Want: Ali & Brian or Jade & Ian
Will win: Ricky and Natalie or Chris and Ola

Want : Jade and Ian or Chris and Ola

Will : Ali and Brian or Ricky and Natalie.

Who I want to win? Ricky W.

Who I think will win? Oh that's a toughie. I think Ricky W could win, because he seems popular in the general public. But I also think Chris Hollins has the popuar vote too.

If Jade was still in it, I would have had a bet on her.

Want: Laila Rouass definately.
Think: I did think Chris Hollins but I'm not so sure now, I thought Tuffers was popular but he got kicked out. For now I'll go with Ricky W, he seems unpopular on the forums but he's not in real life.

What Jan says! Although I have to say that any of these four wouldn't upset me greatly

First series I am so laid back about it all!

Want: Ali or Chris (or Jade if she doesn't pull out)

Think: with 99% certainty that it will be Ricky Whittle

Want: Ali or Jade
Will win: I actually think that Ali has it in her to win it. She's most technically superior out of the lot, but it'll probably be Ricky W

If I knew for sure what decides who gets through the SF and how many people will be standing by then I might venture a guess. If the public vote decides Chris or Nathalie have a chance - if its a normal dance off they go as Ricky W and Ali can both produce 1 dance in the SF thats better than anything they can do. Ali needs good enough dances for any dance off before then and a really good Latin for the last couple of rounds. Ricky W doesn't probably start a final with Tom's lead though and she might not even have to do as well as Rachel to beat him. A Ricky - Ali showdance could be decisive if they left people time to vote. Without judges comments, Ricky might get away with pushing the boundaries and hoping no one would spot the errors that creep in when he does - but an imaginative Brian might beat that with the right choreography.

I'd like Ali & Brian to win they're great to watch.

I think Ricky & Natalie will win though. Ali is a bit unpredictable and puts the odd bad dance in sometimes whereas Ricky is always pretty much brilliant every week.

Want: Chris
Will: Chris

Yay

^this

Dito

I'd like Natalie, Chris or Laila to win (I'm not fussed which).

I sense Ali will win and the prospect of that depresses me as she's ever so dull.

I want Jade and Ian to win if she can still dance.

I'm half convinced by now that Anton and Laila's fan base is strong enough to get them to the final and vote them all the way to victory. I find that prospect somewhat depressing.

Hope will win:
Ali and Brian
or Chris and Ola

Who will win:
I really don't know
probably Natalie Cassidy as she is so overmarked

Want Jade and Ian but that looks like increasingly wishful thinking.

Think - Chris and Ola if they make the final (which I think they may well do if it's a three couple final but not if it's a two couple one). Otherwise, I think Ali and Brian might pull it off.

Want - Ricky W

Think - Chris H

I want the one of the best dancers to win, so I rather suspect that is going to have to be Ali or Ricky W or at a pinch Jade. Which is unfortunate really as I'd much prefer the best dancer to be Laila, if not her then Chris, and if not him then Natalie.

Who is going to win? Probably Ali or Ricky W, unless the public at large find them as uninteresting as I do.

The most interesting and entertaining couple, Laila & Anton, just haven't danced well enough...despite one or two very promising performances. On merit it's difficult to make a case for anyone outside the top 3 this year...and neither Ali & Brian nor Jade & Ian deserve to be still in the competition. Therefore I'm bound to select Ricky & Natalie as the couple I want to win at this stage....albeit with little enthusiasm.

I expect either Ali & Brian or Ricky & Natalie will win.

Agree

Want: Laila and Anton
Will: I think Ricky W

I've made my peace a little with the latter scenario now so it's all good

Want: Ricky & Natalie

Will: Natalie & Vincent; they have been overmarked throughout the series and should have been kicked out weeks ago. They could make loads of mistakes in a dance off and still be put through. I wonder why?

Want: Ali and Brian.

Will: Either Ricky W or Chris (prospect of either winning doesn't thrill me much, although if Chris gets better I wouldn't mind so much as I like him).

Want Jade and Ian, Chris and Ola, Natalie and Vincent

Think it will be Ricky W and Natalie.
