Normally you can narrow the show down to 2 or 3 contenders,but this year it could be 6 or 7.

I think it is best not to side with one particular act,but just sit back and enjoy.

This will make the battle for a place in the semi-finals even more nailbiting this year.

Even the battle for the quarterfinals will be highy competitive, unless the audience voting is really haywire. By the time we get to the third last round, surely people should start to support the best dancers.

I don't think it's that many - out of four I reckon (not counting 'joke' contestants obviously)

but think those four are quite close in ability (matt, kara, scott, pame-laaaar)

the gavbot might look good but his total lack of personality will shine through

Jimi looks like he's got ants in his pants

Not only is it hard to guess who will win, it's also hard to guess the bottom two as well! Great stuff!

I think the 4 mentioned stand out,but you have to add Felicity,Tina,Michelle and Jimi as possible growers.

Yes, it's quite an open season. I just hope no-one drops out early this year, I want a 3 person final - Scott, Pamela and Kara

well i often think that the begining of the series is allways quite open.

series 4:
Mark
Emma
Louisa
Ray
(spoony to some extent)

series 5:
Alesha
Gabby
Kelly
Penny
Matt

series 6:
Tom
Austin
Cherie
Lisa
Rachel

series 7:
Ricky
Ali
Zoe
Laila
Jade

so overall i think that the start of the series are always quite open.

Yes, wouldn't it be nice to have a 3-person final for a change - don't think its happened in years for one reason or another - although my final 3 so far would be different to yours

well a three person series has been planned for every series bar the first one. but for reasons due to drop out's series 4,5 & 7 have had a 2 person final. so was series 6 but because of the voting kerfuffle there was a three person final

I want a three person final. Scott, Kara and Matt
