I think what that meant was that Audley Lulu and Russel were the bottom 3 on the judges leaderboard from Saturday which they were....Russell bottom and Audley equal with Lulu.

Russell was about the 3rd or 4th person to be called safe.

I don't think that's necessarily the case (except when it comes to rugby then everyone gets a bit psychotic).

Both the countries are fairly similar and I know when I lived in the states I didn't know any kiwis but I was friends with a fair few aussies who I would hang with when I wanted a reminder of home

I think potentially Brendan/Holly could be a very good partnership because of this similarity, i'm looking forward to see them in action on saturday!

EDIT: Forgot to add my final three lol

Chelsee
Jason
Harry/Holly - think it'll be close!

Harry
Chelsee
Robbie


Jason has been losing his following since the first few weeks and I don´t see it coming back (he can dance all he likes, but his dull personality will turn many people away).

Holly is mainly not there because I don´t believe this show to have a X-factor audience, so the three youngsters will not fight it out in the final. She is also a foreigner, like Jason, which will set her back a bit further (behind the other two youngsters).

And I am purely guessing that Robbie´s internet following transpires into actual audience votes.

In week 1 I predicted an all boys final of

Jason
Harry
Robbie

I didnt realise Chelsee would be so good, but it's difficult to know if Chelsee + Pasha will get more votes than Robbie and Ola. At the Semis it will come down to who has the most public support.

I think I'll stick with my first choice

I would like the final three to be
Jason
Harry
Holly

Out of those three I wouldn't mind who won

I think the final three will be:

Harry
Chelsee
Holly


However, I would love to see Alex there instead of Harry or Holly - not very likely I know.

Barring farcical voting I think there are only four serious contenders, Chelsee, Jason, Holly and Harry.
I think the first three are the best but lack of a fan base for Holly and Harry could affect who makes the final. Harry may have a teen fan base but do they watch Strictly ? Chelsee has to be favourite, probably the best dancer and with a burgeoning fan base.

The final three should be .....

Chelsee and Pasha < winners

Harry and Aliona

Holly and Artem

Taking into account the pro dancers and who the public seem to like, I think these three may just pip Jason and Katrina

They are my choice, Audley and Alex, I think will go in the next two weeks.
Russell, Robbie and Anita will be the next to go, then Jason.

Jason
Harry
Chelsee

Depends who is dancing with Holly.

If it is Artem then

Harry
Chelsee
Jason

If it is Brendan then

Holly
Chelsee
Jason

Don't mind as long as Harry makes it

It would be very interesting to see how things unfold in the upcoming weeks.We'll start to see who is really popular with the audience.

Going on who currently seems to be popular and gathering momentum, as well as dance ability/pairings, I think the final 3 will be
Holly/Artem/Brendan (think Artem's injury may actually work for them in popularity whichever male pro ends up carrying on, for different reasons)
Chelsee/Pasha
And then Harry or Jason depending on how the next few weeks go for them... Including Aliona's choreography, Jason's earnestness etc. I do think there are a lot of Jason fans out there in their 40s or so who have been following for years and may well vote in the show, but not participate in these forums, so that may swing it for him, although I think Harry's ability deserves to be recognized - for me, Jason had a big headstart with his West End and other experience

At the moment I would choose Chelsee, Holly and Robbie but in reality Harry and Jason will be there somewhere.

I hope my predictions are right but I think that Chelsee and Harry will make it.
What is interesting is to see who is going to be the 3rd wheel? So many possibilities.Could it be Jason, Anita or Holly?
I was going to say Jason but Im not really sure.

I think the final 3 will be Chelsee, Harry and Jason. Although it's a tough one between Jason and Holly.

Its a unpredictable year when we have no clues yet from the maths of who has gone. Holly, Jason , Chelsee and Harry all have holes in their campaigns (one or more of emotion, likeability, consistency, technique detail, and acting ability) which might work against them. Robbie has 500k twitter followers which is a very large number in UK terms. If they are voting, how can he go ? Ola has more followers than anyone else, I looked at amomg the pros which may help them to as thats a SCD following not a football one.. Harry may have a fanbase and has 300k followers - but are any watching?. Russell was popular - how does he lose that and go? In a race to the final Holly and Chelsee are both actors, and might pull out something catching, wheras Harry isn't - but does he have a boyband fanbase when they don't?

On merit it would probably be Chelsee, Harry and Jason, but so far we have no idea who is or isn't consistently picking up the public vote (except, I suspect, Russell). If not many people are voting yet, that could make one of the apparent contenders vulnerable on a bad day. I would expect Russell, if he remains fit, to make at least the last five and if, say, Alex is picking up votes, that could make things interesting.

I would hope it would be Jason, Chelsee and Harry, however if this forum is anything to go by, Jason won't be there..perhaps Holly. Certainly not Robbie Savage, surpirsed to see that some think he could make it to the end

Chelsee, Jason and Harry, with Chelsee to win.

Russell: Mr Quality Street. He has really been bitten by the Strictly bug and he is adored by hoards of the GBP who salute his showmanship and joybringing activities to the nation during the present crisis that we are all in together.

Alex: She has finally become a dancer and has what it takes to go all the way. She can catch her heel in her dress and not even flinch. The show must go on, for Alex.

Robbie: He wants it soooo much. Strictly has been a life changing and life affirming experience for him. If Robbie can be a final three contestant we all can. Go Robbie! Flounce that mane and thrust those hips.

Sorry but no one else stands a chance. I'm channelling all of the above from Russell who can see the future and knows what he is talking about.

I think it be :

Alex and James
Jason and Kristina
Chelsee and Pasha

but I would like it to be

Holly and Artem
Alex and James
Anita and Bobbi

I want Holly and Artem to win all the way. I have supported them from the first week. Although not as good as Kara and Artem I still want them to win.

My thoughts exactly

It's all about partnerships and Chelsee's and Pasha's is just great - and they are getting better and better at the dancing too

I really didn't give her a chance to begin with - how wrong was I

Based on the weekly polls here (which have always accurately predicted the outcome), I would say the final three will probably be Chelsee & Pasha, Harry & Aliona and Holly & Artem/Brendan. Those three have consistently had the most support on here. Jason & Kristina started off being the favs on here but very quickly reverted to mid-table.
