Am I the only person this year who finds it difficult to choose a favourite?

Mostly for good reasons. Everyone seems to have their good points. So having started with several favourites - Alex, Anita and Rory (bless!) - I find myself bewitched by Audley's smile. Others - like Lulu - have improved so much.

So - is it ok to have a general discussion - not having the energy to visit all the strands?

I was particularly taken by Aliona's obvious delight with her frock tonight. She seemed unable to stop swishing it during Tessa's talking with others.

No, you're not the only one. Normally, by this stage in the competition, I have a clear favourite (Kara, Rachel, Ramps, Ali Bastion..) but this year no-one has knocked my socks off.

Chelsee and Holly are sort of my front runners since last week, but I'm not excited about them in the way I was with previous favourites. I'm actually not bothered about who wins this year!

i cant be bothered anymore not after tonights show the marking was just stupid

Have just found where this had been moved to! A bit of a mad twirl (can't spell Vienieze)

I really like Chelsee's exuberance (can spell that!)

Unsure about Holly - she's maybe too cool for me. And too laid back.

Im not undecided.My favourites have always been Chelsee and Pasha from day one and thats not going to change.

I did wonder if Len had taken his SEVEN with him!

I didn't know - until ITT - that J wasn't a professional dancer.

It comes to something when Alesha's giving advice on scoring!

Well that's great. And he's doing a brilliant job of teaching and choreography. A real asset to the programme.

Glad you called in to say so.

Am really lazy in my old age so love hearing from others and can't keep up with all the other threads!

In someways I've found the series more interesting as even now it is wide open as to who will take the trophy, normally by this stage it's pretty obvious who will be the top 3 at least.

To be really honest no one interests me greatly, although if I had to pick a favourite it would be Chelsee & Pasha. Pasha I've liked for years; didn't take to Chelsee at the launch show as she seemed so girly in a silly way, but I've warmed to her, as she really works hard, and if she could persuade her 'day job' to give her a week or 2 off, I think she could take the trophy.

Of all the others, I don't really care who goes when.

I have favourites (more or less), but I have no favourite couple.

My favourites are evolving. Loved Anita/Robin best week 1. Now Anita irritates me, but is dancing well & that's what the show is all about.
Audley has an engaging smile which detracts me from his hit & miss dancing.
Warming to Holly.
Chelsee has seriously impressed me for the past 3 weeks.
Harry has enchanted me, despite Aliona, for the past 2 weeks.
Jason has gone down in my estimation. Needs to relax & stop trying so hard.
Russell has entertained me....bit bored now.
Alex is blah, but gets bonus points for having James as her partner.
Never taken to Lulu

Kind of agree OP, however my views are amalgamating to pick a couple of favourites. Things could change though.

Interesting thread. Before the competition Holly was my favourite and has turned out to be a goodish dancer. Not sure she's a winner, but no clear favourites to win. Can't see anyone other than Holly, Jason, Chelsee or Harry winning it. At a push my money might just be on Chelsee. No-one in Kara's league.

For the first time ever, I don't think the winner is a foregone conclusion. At this point, head would say Jason but heart would say Chelsea all the way!

No, me too

I love Anita and Robin and vote for them every week, but also love Harry, and if Anita goes I shall be voting for him. I am sure that Harry will be in the final!

I know that Jason, Holly, and Chelsee are good, I just can't warm to them.
