Nine weeks on, all heads now turn towards Christmas and the Glitterball Final.

Likely to be proved right, bookie prices are forecasting Harry and Chelsee as safe for the Final, leaving one Final place to be filled by Jason, Holly, or Alex. As crunch time arrives voting will be affected by loyalty to the pro dancer partner as well as the celeb -- Kristina, Artem, and James.

With cards on the table and chips down in the last-chance saloon, which 1 out of 3 will you save, deemed worthy of the Final? Poll requested from Mods.

Can only be hypothetical cos I'm not spending my hard-earned on any of the three... but I would save Jason. A final of Harry, Chelsee and Jason would be perfect for me and I've enjoyed Kristina's choreography too. If it can't be Jason, let it be Holly. The girl is seriously, deadpannily witty.

Jason and Kristina!!

As I said on the other thread about this, I think it's misleading to see Chelsee as safe. If people think the issue is 'Alex, Jason or Holly?' nobody will vote for her and she'll be gone. I think, going on previous years, it's more likely Harry and Jason are safe (Jason with b2 bounce, more famous, etc) and the question is which of the women will get the votes. It could be Alex as easily as Chelsee.

And, as I've said elsewhere, if Holly's Charleston works (big big IF) it could score 39 or 40 so she could possibly be a 38/39 + 39 or 38/39 + 40 score and top of the leaderboard or joint top with Harry. I think the leaderboard could easily be:
Harry and Holly
Chelsee
Jason
Alex
and Chelsee get lost in the middle.

Unless someone does something amazing to change my mind on Saturday, I'm only voting for Chelsee.

I'll save Holly... I've voted for her (and Harry) every week

I wont save any tbh, I think people who support Chelsea and Harry need to worry about them more than anything, if you focus too much voting on Jason or Holly then may be a good chance neither will get the votes they need.

I wouldnt think so, I presume the pair will have top judge scores

Interesting to see Holly has done so well in Latin and not so well in ballroom as I had always thought she was a ballroom girl

How wrong can you be
However also interesting to see that overall there really is not much between Holly and Jason yet all series we have had the judges giving her poor comments and Jason good

Certainly I think Chelsee and Harry needs vote too

Has to be Holly and hopefully her friend Princess Beatrice will come to see her in the final

79 botofogas world champion Artem will really be an inspiration to Holly and draw voter attention.

They were incredibly fast weren't they, them feet in black leather shoes. This couople are peaking at the right time, this late surge reminds me of Gethin who left Craig stunned and speechless.

Jason AND Alex, would bin Harry and Holly on saturday

Chelsee to win it...that would be my ideal final

I would save Holly, if I was to vote, but I probably won't.

Ps WHY OH WHY are Holly and Artem dancing to that song!? Hate that song!

Er, I wouldn't spend money on any of them.

But Jason right gets on my wick so he's off my Christmas list. Holly I could maybe warm to. Also Alex maybe. Just because she has to put up with rude James.

Nah, Chasha or Haliona for me.

I wouldn't vote for any of them - I'd rather see a two-person final between Harry and Chelsee.

But seeing as there has to be a third person there, I'd say Jason - only because Kristina's the only one of those pros not to have made the final, so I'd like it to happen for her, and to see what she'd come up with for a showdance

Jason. He's theb etter dancer & I want to see Kristina in the final.

Holly for me! It's not about where you start, it's where you finish! Holly has shown progress and I'm not really sure Jason has - he was very good from week 1.

Holly!

I would love a Harry, Chelsee and Holly final.

This poll currently showing 10:4:1 support for Holly:Jason:Alex suggests your wish will be fulfilled.

Another vote for Holly, she has to make the final!

I hope so!

I hope so too!!!
Lets hope some of the votes here will also be phone voters!

Holly, Harry and Chelsee for the final!!

Made the mistake of picking who I'd vote before they danced last week and I got it wrong. I'll wait and see who performs best. There's two going out and it should be the best three in the final. I hope it works out that way.

I voted Holly.

TBH, my interest in voting for anyone has disappeared. This year although there are 2 if not 3 good dancers left, the entertainment spark went once Russell was out.

All 3 candidates for salvation are underdogs, and as such will be heroes to the GBP.

Holly is on a roll, with the breakthrough of last Saturday's stirring 38-marks paso doble, and now inspired by Artem the new Botafogos World Champion.

Jason has this morning seen a surge of support closing the gap. Is the Philosopher T-shirt making new converts?

Sadly Alex that nice girl next door is trailing badly, looking set for a fond farewell on Saturday.

53% - Holly
33% - Jason
8% -- Alex

Come tomorrow it will be now or never, for Sunday will be too late.
Your candidate needs you -- please vote vote vote .

Depends how they dance!

Until the last couple of weeks I would have expected Jason, but Holly has really improved now, and her AT looks potentially HOT
