At the beginning of the series?

I thought:

Danielle
Stephanie
Jessica

At the beginning I thought Danielle, Lauren and Sophie

Halfway through I thought Stephanie had moved ahead of Danielle but she went out soon after

Oh and Bronte was in my top 5

I thought Danielle, Lauren and Stephanie from quite early on.

I thought it was going to be Danielle, Dani and Stephanie.

Steph, Danielle and Lauren.

Stephanie, Lauren and Danielle!

Danielle, Stephanie and Dani was my first thought, just because they looked the most like Dorothy.

Danielle, Dani and Stephanie. I still think it's a shame Dani went out so soon.

Lauren, Stephanie and Danielle

I don't

I think the only person that went before their time was Bronte.

Stephanie, Danielle and Bronte.

Danielle, Lauren and Stephanie, with Jenny fourth

I would have thought Danielle, Lauren and Stephanie!

I always thought Lauren, Danielle and Stephanie, though I was never over keen on Stephanie.

Danielle Stephanie and Lauren

The only girl I thought was a dead cert for the final was Stephanie.

I was shellshocked when I read the spoiler that she'd gone.

danielle, stephanie.

that's all i guessed at the start. 1 right.

Yes I agree. Stephanie was a dead cert. She should have been in the final but they got rid of her at their first opportunity to make way for Lauren and Danielle.

Me too. I was so shocked, I think I actually went into denial for a little while ... still think it was the wrongest elimination ever.

Apart from Stephanie, I didn't really have anyone pegged for final three... but I thought Bronte would go farther than she did, I kind of liked her and wanted to see more.

Danielle, Jessica and Stephanie.

you'd told me the week before that Stephanie would be out the following week I would have been really gutted and shocked. As it turned out I really didn't like her performances that last week, decided they were all the same and she pulled lots of strange faces, so wasn't that surprised.

Jessica
Danielle
Stephanie

Not only were they strong contenders from the start but there dresses would have pleasingly been the traffic light colours!

I thought, from the top 10:
1. Stephanie
2. Danielle
3. Jessica

Lauren, Stephanie and Danielle

This show has been so unpredictable....so many of the good performers left far too early on in the competition!!

Pretty much the same - they all blurred into one a bit for me in the first week or two and Stephanie was by far the most memorable - partially because she got a fair bit of coverage in the audition programmes, partially because of her general bubbliness. I still think she should have survived but, then, I like Steph a lot and she was on a bit of a roll that week.

Bronte and Amy were probably the only other two I could confidently name after week 1 and, with Amy, some of that was because she was so ridiculously wrong for the role. (Not saying she didn't have a lovely voice, mind, so don't jump down my throat!)

With hindsight, I can't believe I didn't notice Danielle much early on - maybe she's just a slow burner and there's still hope that those who find her boring might still be converted I certainly had a bit of a 'road to damascus' moment when I went 'omg! she's actually acting instead of being intent on showing me that she's acting! what a refreshing change...'.

Danielle, Stephanie (I expected the public to love these two)

and Lauren (because I knew ALW would not let go)
