How could anyone even begin to think otherwise?

I don't think so.

I hope so as i've just put 60 quid on him at 2/1 lol

He could even lose it tonight if he underperforms tonight.

We will just have to wait and see the outcome.

Because Sam like the other finalists has been bottom 2. There isn't any nailed on winner this year. He's slight favourite with the bookies but only marginally.

I cannot stand him. Seems so smug and the fake romance really put him off.

If it follows true to form, its a mans turn to win!!

This series isn't following true to form though - they;ve all been top and they've all had skateoffs

Brianne tweeted not so long ago that her and Sam are on 1st tonight. Sadly i think they are now screwed. Can't see him winning let alone doing the Bolero..

Well I can't see him getting the elusive 10.0's, in case Laura and Chloe come out and do even better

Laura will do better, not so sure on Chloe.

I wish he hadn't gone on about 10's I think it worked against him.

All the bookies have Laura as favourite now

I think early on both Robin and Emma said something like 'the 10.0's are coming'. They shouldn't have really as he'd be expecting them after that

Is anyone actually going to vote for the skating performance in a skating show or have all you loose women already decided on tittle-tattle?

This is what ruins every reality show, people who act like old fisher women and see nothing wrong in that.

Most people will vote for their favourite, but most people have chosen that favourite based on their skating throughout the series.

How much *tonight's* skating will actually affect the vote is yet to be seen.....

want Chloe,think Sam might win though,hes the armchair viewers choice..

I am for Laura, but the anticipation is so exciting.

Anything could happen.

I wish all three the very best of luck.

My votes for Chloe to win.... Laura is too cheesy polyanna type and Sam all that fake romance stuff puts me off..... think chloe is the only one really that deserves the win.... of course this is only because Kerry's no longer in it otherwise my vote would have been for her

I'd prefer a Chloe win as well. As for Sam, I don't think I know one person who likes him, everyone seems to be either a Chloe or a Laura fan.

I don't think Sam deserves to win as I don't think he has progressed anywhere near as much as the 2 girls - he could skate at the start and still can, but that is about all I can say for him.

Is he...

How'd you work that out?

He's slipped to 2nd in the betting now - Laura just narrowly ahead of him.

I would say Chloe was *armchairs* viewers voice since her affilliation with Richard and Judy - its not as though any casual viewer is going to have a clue who any of the top 3 are - Sam was in EE for barely a year, Laura is on a Sky Channel and with enough flashes of Richard and Judy, Chloe could be seen as the closest they have of knowing who someone is.

I think the fake romance did Sam a lot of harm plus carping on about 10's and then Tony Gubba mentioned that he'd been ice dancing on a cruise ship. That might play a part tonight.

I think it's much too close to say anyone is a 'nailed on' winner!

And to add on to that, he's injured from a fall, and Brianne has flu. It's not looking very good for him.

If I had to money on it, I'd say Laura will win. Hope it's Chloe though. *fingers crossed*
