I think the dance off made a lot of people take notice of Jade and I think she was gaining momentum before she went.

I also think she might have attracted a sizeable chunk of support from those who want to vote for dance talent primarily but need a bit of wow to really kick start them. Neither Ali or Ricky have really been able to grab that audience by the scruff of the neck, with the result that I think Chris has inherited votes he would never have had in other series due to the serious dance alternatives being less than scintillating.

I don't say she would have been able to overturn the Cola wagon but I think she'd have stood a better chance than either Ali or Ricky, particularly if she'd nailed the tango.”

I agree, she was the standout contestant in terms of 'the journey' (well to my mind anyway) and I think because of this her popularity would have increased as the series progressed.

I think Chris maintaining his popularity has had a lot to do with the lack of journeys amongst the contestants. There have been no real stand out improvements amongst the remaining contestants each of them (including Chris) aren't noticeably that much better than when they started.

And by that I suppose I mean they haven't improved their performance (as opposed to technically being better).

Sorry for rambling, it's late, I hope someone gets what I mean

From the outpouring when she had to withdraw, I think she did but hers were gradually gathering momentum - especially after the dance off in week 6.
Her marks from the Judges were improving week by week too and she was second on the leaderboard a couple of times.

Not that they would have wished it to happen the way it did, but I'm sure more than one couple were relieved when Jade was no longer a rival competitor.

I totally agree. Judging on what people were saying I think if she had performed "that" Tango we may have seen a turning point in her popularity. Most of us could see her improvement and although she had a very fiery relationship with Ian, they did seem to get on very well. I loved their VTs and they made me laugh more than any other couple in the competition.

It looks like it does now, except that Jade and Ian are still in it. Although if Tuffers had carried on improving I'd have been happy for him to fight it out in the quarters with Chris for the last spot.

I would have gone with

Ricky and Natalie
Jade and Ian
Natalie and Vincent
Ali and Brian

That's probably roughly my ideal finishing order as well, depending on dances.

If it was from any series this is what I would say.

4. Zoe and Ian
3. Jill and Darren
2. Mark and Karen
1. Gethin and Camilla - winners!

Ali and Brian
Jade and Ian
Ricky and Natalie

.. would give us the best dancers, as for the fourth ... I can't decide between Chris and Ola, Phil and Katya, Ricky and Erin (you just know Erin's routines would've got more bizarre .. and there may of even been ... as John from Wales said ... a duck costume!!) or Laila and Anton.

I think you are making up your own question in order to drag in a Gethin reference.

I preferred Gethin when he danced with Flavia than Camilla

I'd substitute Natalie & Vinent for Ricky & Natalie on talent, and that'd be who I thought the best four were too

Ali and Brian (Winners)

Ricky and Natalie (Runners up)

Laila and Anton (i'd love to have seen Anton make the final)

Phil and Katya (i think if he'd worked harder he could have been one of the best)
Daisy_M
11-12-2009
Ali & Brian
Ricky & Natalie
Jade & Ian
Chris & Ola

Allowing for Jade's injury, I would have Phil & Katya.
