How many are there? What proportion of the forum members belong to both subsets: people who criticised Ann for bad dancing AND people who specifically said they were going to vote for Gavin even though he is the worst dancer left?

And how many of those just said they were going to vote for Gavin compared to how many who specified they were going to vote for Gavin EVEN THOUGH HE IS THE WORST DANCER LEFT.

By the time you've narrowed it down that much, I doubt you have many members left.”

Please, don't bring logic and numbers into this - it is a forum - and we live and die by half truths and quasi-opinions.

plus wine and guitar players.

Jeez, never mind the lack of tattoos and guitar playing skills, if I ever find myself lusting after someone who has Peter Andre as a musical hero I'll be throwing myself under the next passing bus

This is much more my thing http://media.photobucket.com/image/n...2/DSCF9155.jpg

But anyway, Tezzer my old mate, how are you going to woo Ann, any plans for a first date?”

Or mmmm

If Gavin uses his body subliminal cut tactic on Saturday in a desperate attempt to get into the final, lets hope the girls can at least break free from the hypnotic spell hes casting over them to acknowledge what he's up to. I thought Peter Andre was everyones musical hero, hes the original warlord of the six pack, a lovely sweet guy, and proof that you don't have to be muscle bound like Gavin to have cheeks of steel.

Must admit I voted for Gavin. But only in the hope of getting rid of AW, which thankfully worked

I shall only vote for my favourites hereafter.

I was interested in what effect Katya could have on Gavin. The irresistible force versus the immovable object.

For gods sake, stop making me laugh - Ann's elimination has really made you up your game young man

Sounds painful.

Careful Terry, you'll never attract Ann with too much rampant appreciation of the male form you know.

I think the idea that Gavin has been on some sort of journey like Gethin/Matt Dawson/Darren Gough is a myth. There isn't a great deal of difference between his opening Waltz and his current Ballroom. And whilst he's less self conscious in his Latin, he's not had a proper breakthrough.

Funnily enough, Gav is exactly the sort of contestant I'd usually find myself getting behind. I love an underdog. But the double standards applied to him (and the over-marking by the judges) really have put me off.”

I think the idea that at least two, if not all three, of those dancers went on a journey is a myth.

In terms of ability to dance,as long as someone from the bottom half of the field drops out each time, I'm happy. With Jimi and Tina that didn't happen, but all the other eliminations I'd say there was nothing to complain about. My objection to Ann sticking around was never due to her dance ability, it was to do with the fact that she puts the shits up me something fierce.

People who didnt like ann are still entitled to vote for and support gavin, they are two completley different people and just because some poeple put them in the same 'cant dance' category doesnt mean there right.

Gavin has had some great dances IMO quickstep, cha cha cha, foxtrot and just because he wasnt at the top of the leaderboard doesnt mean people wont vote for him. The judges look at the technical side of things, well when im watching i dont see that, im sorry i look at the vt before hand, the relationship between professional and celebrity, the dance, their attitude, their personality ( which i usually get a good idea of on ITT) and then put all these things together and i will decide who i will vote and for me its gavin and kara! Now beofre the show i had a pre conceived idea of Gavin and my opinion has totally changed and im glad that ive seen the real him on this show.

I didnt like ann and wanted her to leave but i support gavin and i would never clas them as in the same leauge ever!”

Good post and its how I feel completely and how I vote too.........but in my case I knew that Gavin was not the person that he pretends to be, in fact I think he was very vulnerable emotionally when he started on Strictly and I hope that it has been a great experience for him and one he will look back on with affection and satisfaction.........even though he has not become the great dancer that I am sure he would really have liked to have been, because he most definately is someone who wants to excell at everything he does......I hope that Strictly has shown him that he doesnt have to be great at everything and people will still like him despite that.

I also had a preconceived idea of who Gavin was, and I have liked him far more than I expected to.

I voted for him and Kara last week, and like to think I did my bit to get Anne out
