Yep, the 'journey' candidate is usually the eventual winner.

I mean ter say! Jason is a stage star! He's no novice. I've nothing against him. He's great to watch. But I want a rank beginner who comes good.

Jason to win? No.

Jason isnt a trained dancer but he is a perfomer obviously with bags of stage experience and it shows. I think he is an enormously hard worker ...you have to be to do the number of shows they do on theatre tours....he has also got it instilled in him that you dont let your public down and do the best you can at all times.....I dont think he actually has more 'dance' experience than many of the actors we have had on Strictly in the past but where he does have an advantage is the many many many live performances he has done over the years.....he is completely comfortable with the concept of work work work to get it right first time because you dont get another chance on the stage .....many of our other actors and actresses are used to a couple of hours filming with many retakes to get it right with a break for lunch between scene set ups....this is where Jasons advantage comes from.

I for one am really enjoying watching him and witnessing Kristina's joy I certainly wouldnt want 14 celebs of the standard of Nancy.

Me too! I think they're great and if they do win it will be well deserved.

I know - just amazing. He lived in Liverpool (obviously ) and I think the nearest ice rink was miles and miles away in Wales or something. He's just one of those talented individuals and being young and self confidence helped big time!


I think Jason will work his socks off too. I am a bit shocked at how serious Jason is in his interviews and he seems to have forgotten this is a light entertainment show. At the moment though he's the only one I'm likely to vote for and that also partly due to Kristina, who is just amazing this year.

I really like Harry too and think he's more naturally talented than Jason, but for me Aliona's choreography can be a problem.

Looking at this week's training clips Robbie is looking the best and if Chelsee can get more training time, I think these 4 are the contenders.

I love waching Jason but also think that he will be passed by others who are improving week on week. But nobody knows how those judges are going to vote, still in shock over Austin not getting to the finals!

Certainly not, Jason is all man, Kristina will be able to testify to that every time she has him in hold.

I didn't actually mean I thought Robbie S should win; I was just using him as an example of someone who has improved, as opposed to someone who starts good and then plateaus.

But you really don't like him, do you? I mean - worse than C.Hollins winning? Could such a thing be possible?

One can admire his dancing, however, I cannot warm to him in any way whatsoever

Never mind winning he could be gone this week

That wasn't a Paso Doble, the man is the matador and the woman is the cape, but they were nothing like it. V poor.

not at all

chelsee for the win!

He's Australian, which explains it.

She'll have to learn how to dance first.

I think she can, just needs more control

I enjoy her dances more than anyone's - just a personal opinion!

I agree he has a big advantage on the others as he has danced in many shows in the West End and has loads of experience behind him.

Jason had a bit of a setback tonight but thats probably a good thing for him he won't let the same happen again next week.

Oh dear, not very good tonight.

Brought back memories of Kristina's previous partners

Everyone normally has a dance that doesn't suit them perhaps that was his.

At first I thought yes but now not so sure tbh

Jason and Kristina will be back at the top next week.

I don't think people really start to pick their winners until mid-November.

Hopefully

Jason, hopefully, won't make it to the final, people will be sick of his narcissistic attitude long before then.

I suspect Jason V Harry in the final.

It will be very difficult to choose between them. Jason will be better at acting/selling the dance, but Harry will be thechnically superior.

I don't think Jason is as good as every body has been making out. I find him uncomfortable to watch and their is something about his manner I really don't like. I think Chelsee and Harry are better dancers and they don't have his arrogance.
