Agreed

Not too fussed either way but leaning towards Ricky on the grounds that a certain poster will make the main page unbearable for weeks to come if Chris wins it...

Even though I like Ricky and think he's a great dancer I want Team Cola to win because I just love the chemistry between those two. It's certainly the best partnership of any couple since SCD started.

I will be voting for Team Cola but I really think its too close to call - the final result could go either way.

As they say, 'the shows not over until the fat lady sings.'

I will be avoiding DS for at least a week regardless who wins - for my own sanity.

Want: Ricky, I've supported him from we saw him in the first group dance.

Think: It's now too close to call!

I don't think it is close, not from the polls nor from my reading of the board - which admitedly is subjective.

I don't mind really.
I would just like both couples to really go for it, and not "play safe" with their routines.
Then, whoever come up with the "wow" factor on the night, deserves the title.

Who do you think will win then?

I want Chris and Ola to win
Who do I think will win? - I honestly have NO IDEA!!!!

I'm with you Laura - Ricky to win & too close to call.

Having previously invested powers of omniscience in young Mr Monkseal, his latest prediction is not to my taste so I'll go with the bookies instead & yes I'm very capricious!

I think the person who is ahead of the polls and has been for weeks and has been a ahead of the votes for most of the show show too from what we can read of the results is probaly going to win.

Thinking about it, another reason I'd prefer a Ricky win is that the moment Chris lifts the Glitterball there will not only be the aforementioned poster driving me crazy but there will be an avalanche of other posters claiming it is the final nail in the Strictly coffin and the end of civilisation as we know it etc etc etc...

Hey, I was wrong about Ricky going out in 3rd, so I'm not exactly 100% accurate. But I do think Mr Hollins has it in the bag.

Want: Ricky
Think: Chris- like Monkseal I think he has it in the bag.

Though I don't mind as I'm quite happy and content that Ricky made it to the final.

I would think that you would like Chris to win on the grounds that he and Ola perform a better routine than Ricky not on the grounds that (and you are praying for this) Natalie choreographs a stinker.

I don't want Cola to win .. but I don't want them to come out and do anything less than their best .. and likewise Ricky .. to have anyone win because someone else has failed is not entertaining (I still feel bad for Erin and the mess-up she made with Colin).

With everyone being constantly reminded .. even on this thread .. how far ahead in the polls/votes Chris and Ola are ... of course Chris doesn't have to outshine Ricky to win .. he's never been in the dance-off and yet he hasn't (with the judges) outshone anyone yet in the dancing .. perhaps that will come on finals night.

It would be nice (imo) to think that the person that comes out and shows us some really entertaining and quality dancing will win ... but I think it has been won already .. without any dancing done.

Same here! I thought he was gone last week so it's a joy that he's there. We get to see his wonderful QS, glorious CCC and what I hope will be a "spectacular" Showdance.

Sorry I'm obviously too thick to get your point so I'll just leave it! The OP's question was who do I want to win and who do I think will win, I have answered that question.

I would like Chris and Ola to win because I think that their partnership has been brilliant and I always really enjoy their dancing.
But I wouldn't be shocked or mind if Ricky and Natalie win. But I would like both couples to dance as well as they can on Saturday, that way whoever wins/loses can be pleased with themselves. I'm looking forward to it now, I think it's much closer than I first thought it might be.

I want Ricky to win.
I think Chris will win

want Chris to win
Think Chris will win..........hopefully

Want Chris to win.

Think he'll sneak it, too.

Want Chris, but i think Ricky will have another great weekend like last Saturday and he will win

I would love to see Chris and Ola lift that glitterball,they've given a performance every single week,and I like many others have enjoyed watching them every week on the dancefloor,the best pairing this series without a doubt,and I'll be voting for them again.
Chris can now dance, remember his wonderful foxtrot at Blackpool and the never to be forgotten charleston,for starters.
I really don't know who will win,good luck to them both,but Natalie I can't take to at all,and think she may have been a hindrance to Ricky regards votes.

I think the right couples have got to the final, though for different reasons.

Of the two, Chris and Ola have clearly had the best 'journey', the biggest improvement, the fluffiest moments, the most crowd pleasing dances and been the more entertaining spectacle, and there's merit in that in terms of the programme.

But I don't think anyone could really dispute that Ricky is by far the better dancer.

I think the right result would be for the entertainer to be pipped at the post by the dancer, and would like to see Ricky and Natalie get the trophy.
