is amazing

i hope she comes 2nd Kara to win

Hope it's a Kara/Matt final.

Does Pamela not realise that it's quite possible to say "Thank you" without elongating her tongue.

As a child sticking one's tongue resulted in punishment.

no offence to Matt I just haven't connected with his dancing this year

Fair enough - it's what makes the final exciting.

I think Pam has toned down her OTT reactions recently.

I'd love Pamela to win, but I don't think that's remotely possible. I think she will come third, but I'm just happy that she has survived the semi-final. I'm pleased for James too.

Matt generally has good technique, but his performance level is poor and he never seems to connect with the dance. I think Pamela manages to connect with her dances in a way that the other 2 don't; Kara is too technically perfect and Matt just isn't capable of doing it.

Me too, that's why she has always been my second favourite. I disagree about Matt I think emotionally he connects fine. Kara has just started to connect with me.

Pamela to win!!

I think Kara has "connected" superbly, apart from the opening few weeks ?
Pamela connects after a fashion, but it always appears a little "hammy" to me.
Matt has been "in and out"..Aliona's choreography hasn't helped. It often hasn't been conventional, so not so easy for a non-actor.
It's all a matter of taste anyway, I used to hate the "dancing face" that appeared to be a prerequisite on the old "Come Dancing".

It is totally a matter of taste and the same applies to the professional couples. I am not keen on watching Anton and Erin, even though they are a class act and I love Erin.

I think Brendan connects with almost all is partners.

James and Ola leave me cold.

Loved Ian and Camilla. Ditto Matthew when with Aliona.

Different strokes and all that.

I absolutely adore Pamela. I think she is great and an inspiration for women. I love watching her dance, she's a complete showman and connects with the audience. It's so surprising for me because I cannot stand James Jordan but this partnership works.

Me too. She's a good number of years older than me but I am constantly astonished at how well she dances. She seems to be having a ball - just like the other contestants all have been, too.

James seems to have gotten the best out of her and her capacity to laugh at herself is very endearing.

I honesly dont mean to be rude but I do wish people would not generalise on my behalf. Pamela may be an inspiration to you and to people you know , but she is not an inspiration to this woman here .
I could not be less inspired by her ,I find her gushing, OTT and false , and her persistent gooing at James puts me right off .
I dont enjoy her clumpy heavy dancing either .

I would love her to win, but I just don't think that is possible. All respect to her though for doing so well. Her commitment and work ethic have been second to none.

I don't see what you perceive in Pamela but fair enough that's your opinion. I think she has been very inspiring and I enjoy watching her dance.

Any one of the contestants can be an inspiration to the viewing public if the public relate to them in some way. No-one can force you to be inspired by her but we can be if we choose to.

I am.

I'm not anti-Pamela; I'm just pro Matt & Kara

Any of the final three would be worthy winners, I'm sure. I'm rooting for Pamela but as much as anything it's because of some of the really nasty and unnecessary remarks made on this forum.

Each of the remaining dancers brings something unique to the competition. Kara brings elegance, beauty and romance in her dances, Pamela shows vivacity, energy and total enjoyment in what she's doing and Matt brings a dimension of acrobaticism (is that a word? ) as well as being able to get convincingly into character for the differing dances.

I'm not sure why people get their kicks out of being nasty about the contestants who are not their own favourite - and I just won't do it.

If that inspiration extends to sharing your sexual fantasies regarding either your own or others' married life, I can only urge you to resist it.

Don't think you've made any unnecessary comments at all Miss M!!!

I am pro Matt, don't mind if Kara wins, loathe some of the bile directed to Pamela. I really think she deserves her place (likely to be third) in the final. If she should win, fair play.

It doesn't as it happens but sex therapy and comedy are her areas of professional expertise. Would you expect her instead to discuss quantum physics or basket-weaving?

I have to agree. We finally have a final where all remaining contestants are excellent and each couple brings something very different to the dance floor. For me there are no weak links they are all very good and I think it will be a very close final. I would love Pamela to win but would not be upset if either Kara or Matt won.

Great post, totally agree!

Didn't you know, if you aren't supporting their dancer, you're wrong and you simply don't know what you're talking about.
Now behave yourself

Absolutely , I agree , I dont doubt that at all .What I am saying is that post said " an inspiration to women " and I was explaining not to generalise and presume its for all of us ,
We all percieve things differently and I am convinced that much of it is to do with who we associate people with . I associate Pamela with the nuns who made my life a misery !! LOL .All smiles and sweetness and behind it all hard and mean !

Be fair, she didnt say all women.
