I think Louis and Kimberly will be the final 2, its just as obvious as last year when we all knew Harry and Chelsea would be the final 2

I agree with that at the moment... but so many times people have seemed locked-on for victory and didn't even make the final. In particular, I'd keep my eye on Dani as a dark horse.

Final two - Denise and Louis ( Dani will be the third )

I think Kimberley could probably end up facing a 'shock' dance off before we even get to the semis - I think the judges would favour both Dani and Denise over her so she would be out at that stage.

Perhaps the public vote would be so strong for her that she never actually faces a dance off, I think that's the only way she would be truly safe. If that is the case then yes, Louis and Kim.

No doubt Louis will win though. Another male winner!! :yawn:

Louis & Denise. With Louis taking the crown.

Louis and Flavia.

It boils down to whether or not the teenybopper vote can pull Kimberly through or will just all and all good dancing from Denise keep her in.

I think despite her poor public opinion, Denise is still going to grudgingly get voted for with excellent dancing from certain camps (case in point, my geriatric Mother in Law, who not only adores that "married couple Anton and Erin" , but also loves Denise's dancing without ever having heard of her.

I think Louis is a dead cert for final with both the teenys and the Olympics fans, unless he completely loses the plot in his dancing...

Haha like it

At the moment I think it will be Louis and Denise - but Dani may surprise everybody.

I'm not sure whether Kimberley will make it to the finals. I was originally pleased when I found she'd been partnered with Pasha and thought she was a cert to win, but a quick poll of friends and family confirm my own sinking feeling that she's just not winning people over. I'd like to see Pasha right through to the end so let's hope they start to sizzle a bit more in this week's salsa.

Louis, and then any one of Dani, Kimberley and Denise. Mostly likely Kimberley, but the Girls Aloud comeback could cut into her training time & I'm not really seeing a spark with Pasha yet, so think she'll have to hope that she's got enough of the popular vote to avoid being in the dance off. Dance ability alone should get Denise there, but there's the likeability factor which could count against her - 3rd is mostly likely, but you never know.

The vast majority of the public couldn't give a toss about how good the dancing is. They vote for the celebrity they like the best.

I agree with that, I think a quarter or semi-final dance-off, if there is one, could be the end of Kimberley's challenge unless she's significantly upped her game by then, and if she's starting to get busier with Girls Aloud that will limit her training time and she could struggle once it gets to multiple dances per week.

Louis, Denise?

I think Victoria is going to get close enough to the final

Louis and TracyBeaker

Louis is pretty much a shoe-in for the final because no matter who he faces in a dance-off prior to that the judges will put him through (unless he faces Denise in which case it would depend on how they danced) but as to whether he's got enough public support once he gets to the final 3 - who knows.

I think it will be Louis and Denise (she's another who won't be put out by the judges as above) and Nicky as the final 3 (look what the boy band lovers did for Harry last year) and then final 2 will be Louis and Nicky.

Not denying that McFly fans helped- but surely the fact that he could dance well counted for something too? I'm pretty sure he will have attracted voters that had never even heard of McFly. Nicky isn't showing half the dancing ability that Harry did. I'll be surprised if Nicky was in the final 3- watch him go and win it now!

Final two? At this moment I think probably Louis and Flavia and Kimberley and Pasha... This could change though- depending on how the next couple of dances go.

Agree with this. If Denise does get to the final she will lose to whoever the other contestant is (IMO of course)

much harder to predict who will be the 3rd person in the final

I'm wondering if Denise will have to survive a dance off or two to get there

hopefully it's a mixture of the 2.

What do you mean by the BIB? Up until Harry's win, the Battle of the Sexes was tied on 4-4

Back on point, Denise & Louis will be last two standing with Louis running away with the victory.

Your mother in law isn't alone - my teenybopper niece also loves Denise's dancing even though she's never heard of her.

Louis and Kimberley the final two.

Denise and Victoria should make up the final four.

Lisa is a major unknown quantity insofar as there is a lot of talk of her being a one trick pony, and all being tired of same-old, same-old...
Until we have seen
a) if she is any good at ballroom/other styles,
b) if she works hard and improves (Louis, Denise etc are limited in their ability to produce a 'journey' story in the remaining time as all are at a high standard already)
c) if we get training VTs and not comedy ones - we know she can act, but Lisa is a great example of being one who could majorly benefit from training VTs to show her personality as opposed to "i'm mad me" approach which has so far come across due to the sketches (?) and the dances they've done

I'm not a massive Lisa fan btw, but she's an example ... I definitely think there will be a surprise in the final 2 (i.e. only one of Louis, Denise, Dani, Kimberley)

Louis, Denise and Dani seem to be the closest matched. The couple I want to win is Dani and Vincent, because I think they're quietly very good and just get on with it without making a fuss. The couple I think will win is Denise and James, purely as she is the most consistently good celeb dancer.

I agree, I don't think Denise will win.


It's probably a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I'm thinking it'll be Nicky. He keeps improving each week, is very likable and will have lots of general support for who he is.
