So now we've only got two more weeks to go, let's predict the finishing order: Firstly which two will leave in the semi-final, and secondly the finishing order in the final.

Here are my predictions.

Leaving in the semi-final:
Pamela
Gavin

Finishing order in the final:
1st place - Kara
2nd place - Matt
3rd Place - Scott

1) Matt
2) Kara
3) Pamela/Scott
4) Pamela/Scott
5) Gavin

Scott is losing what little popularity he had, and Pamela has had 2 good weeks in a row. I think a lot will depend on how they both do next week.

Kara
Matt
Scott
Pamela

Deleted - too tired for syntax.

Agreed!

1) Kara / Matt
2) Kara / Matt (I wouldn't want to call it at this stage, I think it's too close and I don't mind either way!)
3) Pamela
4) Scott
5) Gavin

I completely agree with your order Mystical and I also wouldn't like to call it between Kara and Matt. It is going to depend on the show dance.

Ditto.

If you base it completely on dance ability then i think Kara Tointon should win this years Strictly, as she has been the most natural and consistent throughout the series.
Coming second would be Matt Baker, and third Scott Maslen.

HOWEVER, we know it's not all about dance, but it also has to do with popularity, personality, entertainment and of course the couple as a duo.
I personally would love to see Scott Maslen win it, as not only has he put on some brilliant performances, but he geniuinly seems like a great guy, who has given his all to the competition. I do think he needs to prove himself once again in the semi finals to show that he would be a worthy winner. Maybe being in the bottom two is just what was needed for him to up his game and really show what he is capable of.

Have you gone down the bookies and gambled on it lol?

I think Scott tries too hard tbh. He comes across like a dad trying to be cool, which is just naff. He has had a few great dances, but his Latin has generally been poor. I don't think he deserves to win dance-wise because he isn't versatile enough.

Some people have dismissed Pamela because of her jive, which I think is unfair. Her Rumba, Salsa and Charleston have all been good, so I think she's quite versatile.

Pamela's jive was mediocre, but that was largely due to her age and figure. Scott's Rumba was pretty awful, and his Samba wasn't good either. The issue I have with Scott is that he doesn't seem willing to move his hips because he doesn't want to look effeminate. I think that's a pretty lame reason myself.

Scott is tired and I don't think he's fully committed any more. It almost seemed like he wanted to go when he was in the bottom 2.

Agree with that completely.

We all see what we want to see according our favs, but........

Top of the Leaderboard

Week 3 Pamela Rhumba
Week 4 Matt Charleston, Scott Tango
Week 5 Scott VW
Week 6 Kara Salsa
Week 7 Scott Jive

Week 10 Pamela VW

Number of Times

Kara 1 - 1 joint
Mat 1 - 2 joint
Pamela 3 - 2 joint
Scott 2 - 2 joint

Personal preference:

Scott - the whole package
Kara - dancing technique
(I wish it could be a joint win )

Matt
Gavin
Pamela

1. Kara
2. Matt
3. Pamela
4. Scott
5. Gavin

Although it depends on the dances and any of those in places 2-5 could swap around. Kara's the deserved winner of this series.

All I can say is I think either Kara or Matt will win.

Kara 1
Matt 2

Don't know the rest. But Kara is the certain winner.

I'd say Scott and Gavin out next week in no particular order.....

For the final my prediction is

too close to call between Matt and Kara for the win.....

Pam third

I'd say Gavin & Pamela out next week and then

Kara
Matt
Scot

Matt - My favourite. One stunning dance where everything comes together could blow the competition out of the water.

Kara - On Saturday someone said to me 'isn't that the same dance she did 2 weeks ago'. It wasn't of course, but I began to see what he meant. Her best dances are all similar. When they try something different it doesn't work so well. Other people might start to think this as well.

Gavin - Could he be another Darren Gough? In 2 weeks time we might all be wishing we had Ann back!

Pamela - Even my sister, her biggest fan, is starting to find her a bit too gushing.

Scott - Sadly I think he's lacking the energy and maybe the willpower to pull things back now. I hope I'm wrong and he at least pulls ahead of Pamela and Gavin.

I would like to see Pamela in the final for James more than anything but I think she might go out in the semis.

I hope Kara wins........I dont really mind where the others come....as long as Kara wins.

1. Matt
2. Pamela
3. Kara
4. Scott
5. Gavin

I agree with this but I think that Pamela has a good chance as well.

The top 3 are so close. I agree about Scott losing a bit in recent weeks and being in the bottom 2 might not help (although he might get the rebound vote next week)

My choice too, but sadly the vote between the final two will be the usual popularity contest - so remember Chris and - oh who was he, yes the runner up last year?? some guy -


Kara's luck is that she is (a) female so should attract a lot of male votes, and (b) pretty and (c) not overbearing or diva-ish etc etc

But Matt could still get it IF Aliona's choreography lets him.

Interesting comment, being as the AT and Tango were so close. Most viewers wouldn't know the difference between the two.
I still feel something's missing from her performances, although I appreciate how beautiful they are.
