It's The Scum hon lol. My mum and dad are 60 and are voting for Kara and my gran is 94 and is voting for Kara. They write utter nonsense.

I just went hunting online for stories about Kara to prove there is no bias, it was the first one I found, I'd never buy it, lol. But there are lots of articles there if you want to read them.

Astonishing that Pamela has managed to place diary items in both the Guardian and the Mail within weeks of each other. Not publications who usually engage the same material! She has some agent (as well as some face!)

I think that Pamela has got a fair bit of press especially in the broadsheets, but that is balanced by Matt's TV exposure and Kara being featured more in magazines.

I actually found Pamela's diary in The Mail quite interesting. Odd that she does;t know whether she and James will be friends after the show because they haven't been able to talk about it. I do wish that they all did a diary like that.

I really think I'm going to lose my patience if anyone cries 'fix' tonight - it's a public vote only, with 3 finalists who have made it (imo) the best-quality final since series 5, so whoever wins will have earned it ”


I hardly think that she did a photoshoot yesterday. Surely she was too busy training for the show not having her photo taken on a beach somewhere.

All three finalists are bound to get publicity this week, but it seems to me that PS has been courting every bit of publicity she can muster since the beginning of the show.
I didn't start out with any bias against her, indeed as an older woman myself, I was pleased she was doing so well and not tottering around like some OAPs that have appeared on the show.
I remeber her in, what was my favourite comedy show of the 80s, with affection, but somewhere along the line my feelings have changed, and I am heartily sick to the back teeth of the over-exposure, over-marking and the over-complimentary fawning that seems obligatory around the faux modesty that exudes from Dr. Pammie.

She is not that good.

Kara beats her by a country mile.
Kara floats and glides with perfection of line. If you freeze frame the screen at any point, Kara's line is beautiful.

Pamela deserves third place behind Matt IMO

why is Pamela the only one to have got 4 tens twice if she "deserves" to be third???

I hope the best dancer on the night wins...

The Daily Mail has been featuring Pamela a lot for a while and focusing in her in interviews with all of the finalists and yet if you read thier readers comments on most of the articles they are not always complementary. Depending on the tone of the piece some readers have been quite negative, the best response she gets could be described as mixed.

So more press is not necessarily good for more votes.

Because she has been over-marked IMO, but I agree that the best dancer should win, which is Kara..........IMO:

Sounds to me that she's really saying they won't. I don't think she's that bothered.
They've nothing in common so I think that's the truth of it.

Maybe because she didn't deserve the four 10s. I have less of a problem with her 40 for the VW, but I have a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge problem with the 40 for THAT quickstep.

I also am still trying to come to terms with her getting 38 for that charleston! Really?

I'm a Kara fan and I can still be objective enough to see she didn't deserve the score she got for her jive.

The fact that everyone is moaning about bias towards their least liked contestant proves to me that it isn't there. The best settlements being ones that everyone is a bit unhappy with.

Sadly we've had to put up with pietistical Pamela in the Grauniad too. Her lascivious lusting over juvenile James quite puts me off my lunch

This is S**t. I think all the con testants have had reasonable media ( by media I mean TV, press , mags etc). The fact is I watched breakfast TV this morning and the clips were all of the marvelous Vienesse Waltz between Kara and Artem, The mail is full of Pamela (BTW a lot of articles from the broadsheets are repeated in the mail and express female sections). Matt has had a reasonable amount of TV exposure. It is just the very loyal individuals who are desperate for their favourite to win that imagine a slight on behalf of their celeb. I can only feel very sorry for them.

I am looking forward to a night of great dances and a worthy winner of any of the 3. They all deserve it for a mirage of ways.

I'm in the older age group and I'll definitely not be voting for Pamela.

I'm a bit bored with the manipulation argument.:yawn: If I had one contestant thrust down my throat, I'd want to get rid of them not see more of them!

May the best dancer win tonight. I'm hoping that's Kara.

Today she is on the front of the DM talking about 'sexing up' the final
And she also got a favourable mention on Classic FM this morning - I wonder who paid for that?
I thik Pamela has done extremely well, and I am NOT being patronising when I mention how good she is for her age - it is relevent and a credit to her - BUT for me, it has to be either Kara or Matt who hold up the SCD Trophy, I think they are both very talented and SO enjoyable to watch. Pamela has done well and deserves to be 3rd.”

It is posts like this that have made me decide to vote for Pamela in the final.

They have all had publicity aimed at what is perceived to be their demographics. The whole Kara and Artem romance has been played up. The fact that Matt has had to fit in his training between his very demanding day job etc., they have all had a story hung on them, that is part of the show.

I would prefer Pamela and James to win with Kara and Artem coming second, however, I will be happy to congratulate whoever wins without demonising the other two.

All the residents of the local retirement complex will be multi voting for Ms Stephenson so she may win.
Don't forget the money from the calls goes to charity so get those digits at the ready.

And what's wrong with that may I ask??? It seems that you really have a problem with Pamela being in the final. If you don't want her to win, start voting for your favorite instead of bitching about Pamela on every thread. It really is getting old and tired. :yawn:

There's only a few hours before the final.

When I read threads like this, it just makes me want Pamela to win.

When I read threads slagging off Kara, it just makes me want Kara to win.

When I read threads slagging off Matt , it just makes me want Matt to win.

FGS.
