Whilst I'm leaning towards Chris, I've come to really like and respect all three finalists (pretty much overnight!).

I thought Ricky danced magnificently at the weekend and was very sorry to see his efforts and achievements go unrewarded.

My opinion of Natalie is also changing - for the better. Yes she came across as overly ambitious at the start but that was probably a response to being given a gifted partner and the competitive spirit within her that Aussies are more open about. She's calmed down a bit and is more likable as a result.

Then we have Ali. Listening to her on ITT, I felt a bit guilty for being so harsh on her in the past. I'm glad she's the way she is - nice is under-rated! I'll be willing her on this weekend to really convince me of the story behind her Argentine Tango. I know she has it in her to sell a routine. She just needs to dig that little bit deeper.

Team Cola will get my vote. They are extra special to me. But all three couples will get my support. I want to see them all shine. It's just a shame we have to lose one of them this weekend.

I completely agree Sid.

At the start of the week, I was sure I wanted Ricky out this weekend but somehow, he's managed to win me over over the past couple of days, and now I'm looking forward to seeing him dance. As you said, it's a shame that one of them has to go.
I'll be supporting Chris and Ola but I'm really hoping that all three couples come out with great routines and have a brilliant Saturday.

Great post.
I only wish they would fudge the rules a bit more to have all three of them in the final.

Their showdanceswill be very different yet entertaining in their own way.

Good luck to all!

Ha. You've gone maudlin, Sid! I can appreciate that, since I've been maudlin about all three contestants still standing since Saturday!

I, too, hope they all do wonderfully.

Indeed I also wish all three good luck, I honestly don't seem to mind which one of them wins it.

I also wish they were all going to be in the final

I am secrtely wishing they will all go through now
I have my favourite two and would of course want them now in the final .But Good Luck to them all and here's to a grand two nigths entertainment .

I predict that one of the two that dont win from the final 3 will win the xmas special.....its filmed on the Monday after the final so the audience will know who won.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Rachel & Vincent simply must win that or I'm going to sulk

Well if Gethin doesnt win I am going to sulker even more so there

No - it has to be Gethin with Flavia. He woz robbed in 2007!

I'll go for a Gethin and Flavia win coz 'She woz robbed' in 2007

All my goodwill shall disappear for the Xmas Special - I hope Gethin falls flat on his face ladies - ha!

Nd ii go 4 a raychil win bkoz she was totali robed by sum1 dat got marreed in 2008.

no no no Austin and Erin have to win!!!!
There's going to be blood I can see it

Good Luck to all remaining couples
They all have their strengths so may the best man/woman win. It's a shame one of them has to go on Saturday.

and to think I used to like you Sid.....I dont know one mention on ITT and it goes to your head

AI could accept Austin & Erin winning the Xmas show. They really are in need of a consolation prize after being voted out too early last year.




In fact, I may get onto my 'friends' at ITT and ask one of them to strategically place a banana skin on the dancefloor just before Gethin takes to it!

What is it with Gethin then Sid ,? Spill the beans , how did he offend you and if he did he has DS on his back .

I don't mind who wins. I'd like to see some fan-dabi-dozi dancing, I really would!

I LIKE Cola way the best. But I would love to be blown away by summat special.

Pardon? Is that English?

And I go for a Rachel win because she was totally robbed by someone that got married in 2008.

*shudders at use of /that/ rather than /who/*

It was a joke..

I'm only teasing Jan and the rest of Gethin's Girl's - I liked him, but not as much as Alesha and most definitely not as much as Rachel!

Thats ok then , no one disrepects our Sid .!!
Is it just me but this site is crawling tonight and making me a little cross .

Just want to echo the 'Good Luck' message to all 3 semi-finalists

I'd also like to add that whoever eventually wins the show will do so with the majority of voters blessing...Just like last year and the years before that Whether anyone likes it or not doesn't alter the names on the Trophy but it can afford the winners' supporters some amusement

It's been painfully slow Abba - deffo not just you!
