OK, it's semi-final time next week. Who's your favourite after week 12?

Ali and Brian
Chris and Ola
Ricky and Natalie


BuddyBontheNet and I have tried to keep these polls going. I hope you've enjoyed them and found them interesting. I'm not sure whether there'll be one next week. With only two in the final it might not be worth it. We'll see.

Ricky and Natalie although I'd have been able to select Zoe if the public had any idea what they were doing.

I agree. I was very sad to see Zoe go so early, and I miss Jade too.

Chris and Ola, for the 12th week in a row.

And to think that Paddy Power had 33/1 on him winning back at the start.

Chris and Ola all the way they have entertained for 12 weeks ,and always performed ,maybe not quite as technical as Ali and Ricky ,but Chris has progressed far more than either of them,and he can dance...They've made Strictly for me this year.

Is Ola winning him votes? That's probably a reason to create a new thread if it hasn't already been done.

I just wonder where he'd be with one of the other female professionals.

He strikes me as he'd have got on with anybody. The relationship with Ola is heaven made, but I think he would have done well with Lilia as well.

Oh yes I don't doubt he's popular anyway but Ola is my favourite professional from the girls and I wonder whether many others feel the same.

I think so too. And Flavia.

He's a lovely guy, I think the public would have seen this whatever.

Ola has been one of the least popular professionals up until this series so I doubt it.

This series has been the making of her and I'm delighted!

Really? That does surprise me about other series. I'm delighted too though, if that's the case.

Ricky & Natalie

...back on their A-game after last week!

I think Chris would have got on with Flavia,Lillia in fact most of them,not sure about Natalie though would she have the patience?Chris seems to be a really nice guy and his pairing with Ola has been the best one this series,and I'd love to see them win,they've consistently entertained and performed,and Ola is my favourite female pro dancer...In many ways Chris's experience on Strictly reminds me very much of Darren Gough's,he may not have been the best dancer but every week like Chris he put everything into it,they bring a magic and joy to the dancefloor that's why the public connect with them,and Chris has progressed the most.
Ali and Ricky although good dancers,they don't bring anything different and they hold back,they don't give themselves on the dancefloor,and for actors their performances have been very lacklustre some weeks,Chris is not an actor but what performances he puts in, especially with the Charleston last week.

Ellie

Ricky and Natalie. They have produced the majority of the best dances this series fir the right reasons-technique and pizazz.

Ali and Brian just ahead of Chris and Ola

Ali and Brian from week 1 for me

Torn decision - really cant make up my mind! I'll vote next week after I've seen the performances.
