Ali and Ricki are streets ahead of chris
I think strictly is more a popularity contest these days....

Team Cola

Chris and Ola

Absolutely agree, but not sure it has ever really been any different.

I can understand that people who are not interested in dancing, find Chris and Ola entertaining; in fact few would probably disagree, and they certainly have a chemistry between them, but the simple fact is Chris can't dance. Even his charleston, which was probably his most popular, it was Ola who did the dancing while Chris mosrtly just ran around carrying her.

In the quarter-final, his samba was appalling, about 3 samba steps and a lot of walking; and his waltz posture was almost as bad, with dreadful head position - and those ghastly faces!!!!!!

Ali is a good dancer, but I've got bored with her. Len was sort of right about her being a one-trick pony. Her samba was good step-wise, but she doesn't seem to have the ability to grasp any of the technique of the Latin.

Ricky, on the other hand, is a great all-rounder. In the ballroom, he can lead Natalie, has a great sense of timing, and has even mastered the body sway that takes somes dancers years to learn. In the Latin - apart from occasional sloppy 'spare' arm, he is only 1 in entire series who has learnt any technique.

Sad: fact that he was in bottom 2 this week proves he lacks popularity, which means the final may well lack the best dancer. But what the heck? It's only a dance competition, so what does the dancing matter!?

Team Cola all the way!!

Well, for what it's worth, I've voted for Ricky and Natalie. Chris and Ola have provided a lot of entertainment, but I honestly don't think Chris is a good enough dancer to deserve to go any further. Ricky stands out as the best dancer this year by some distance.

Ali and Brian for me from the beginning.

As always - Ricky and Natalie

He was AMAZING this week.

Such a shame they are not appreciated.

Chris & Ola - I squirmed at the 'Mrs Jordan' thing on one of the vts on Saturday - time to become adults.
Ali & Brian - too bland in their Latin and I can't get past the 'driving violation' in the group VW
Ricky & Natalie - my top emotion is still indifference to this couple despite their obvious technical skill.

I found that Laila and Anton's AS was the only dance I wanted to see on Saturday past, previous week it was Natalie (starting to see a pattern emerging ) but I have said elsewhere that I'm the kiss of death to a couple so I'll keep my choice to myself

agreed. I hope people vote for him this week. Its semi final now and if its to be judged on the best 'dancers' ricki and ali should make the final

Ali and Brian

Team Cola and proud of it!

I think all the couples have their merits in different ways, but for me, the couple that actually moves me, and has done from the very beginning, is

RICKY AND NATALIE

Their waltz, AS and quickstep were all just beautiful.

Ricky and Natalie. But um... I'm changing my mind every five minutes at the moment!

It's still possible that Ricky can still win as well so get voting next week and save Strictly Come Dancing!
