Louis and Denise, with Kimberley in third place.
Early Prediction but who do you think the final 2 will be?
3 of 3
I don't think Louis will be in the dance off at all, I think he's the most popular with the public (but no I can't prove it), so it's a case of which girl is the favourite with the judges to survive the dance off and I think that's Denise, but it could just as easily be Dani or Kimberley if they get a breakthrough dance.
But I guess it depends on the order they all get their dances in. If you've got a waltz in the quarters/semis, you've got a great chance of topping the leaderboard or surviving the dance off. Denise has done hers, Dani has done hers, Kimberley and Louis haven't have they? Although Louis has done his VW.

Very good point. I think for Louis/Denise/Kimberley/Dani it will come down to who has what on Semi final week as I can see all those 4 surviving till then, probably out of the dance off.
I cant see Louis being in a dance off either Alli but it does depend on the order of the dances when you get to the business end of things (ie the last 3 or 4 weeks).
I can see Denise having problems with Salsa or Samba (and with James' record he will be hoping to avoid Samba at all costs). If Denise and Kimberley had ballroom and Louis had say Charleston in the semi final that might be an issue (although I can see Charleston being a crowd pleasing dance)...
Im hoping that the Dance off will be dropped after the quarter finals - otherwise I can see it harming Denise or Kimberley more than Louis.
I think Louis is probably a definite for the final. He is pretty good, he is popular with the public and Flavia is also popular with the public. Amongst my friends and family she is the favourite pro dancer.
I think Denise may well make it to the final. I am not keen on her but she is a good dancer and on the few occasions I vote, I do almost always vote for the best dancer.
I did think Lisa would go far but the last couple of weeks I have found her boring although I know she is popular with the public.
I don't think Nicky is a good enough dancer and am not sure his partner is popular. I love Artem and would love to see him in the final again but Fern, as much as I like her, is not that good and I don't think they "gel" together.
Victoria has improved massively but I am not sure she is that popular. I can't take to her at all and I know a lot of people feel the same. All that crying in the first couple of shows annoyed a lot of people.
How big is Dani's fanbase? Most people I know had never heard of her, myself included. Obviously youngsters know her and like her but do they watch Strictly let alone vote? None of my young neices or their friends watch Strictly. I think she is good and I would love to see Vincent win but I can't really take to her for some reason - she just strikes me as boring

I agree with BIB. Louis will most likely make the final, but not sure about the other finalist. It will most likely be Denise or Kimberley, but I don't think either of them stand a chance against Louis (IMO) as Denise is good but not popular enough & Kimberley is popular but not good enough. I had expected Colin to be in this mix, but my hopes soon faded when I saw Kristina's choreography. This is obviously the first time she's had a celeb partner who she feels confident enough to let him lift her (by the crotch
)!
It seems on the forums, that a celeb who is too good too soon is not favoured, nor is a beginner who takes longer than 2 weeks to 'get' posture, technique, performance, thumbs 
and steps of 2 distinctly different dance genres plus a connection with their pro partner. **exhaustion**
That leaves the competition wide open for the 'middle of the road' couples, I guess.
So finalists: Dani, Colin, Victoria, with semi finalists: Michael and Richard?
My own opinion:
Louis
Dani
Lisa/Michael (depending on who improves their 'other' discipline the most

The finalists at the moment look like being Kimberley, Denise and Louis.. Denise may be like Jason last year although technically she is better than him. Technically Louis is good but his latin dances can look like a number of separate movements. He has to try and mke one flow seamlessly into one another and feel the dance. Kimberly does look as if Pasha is controlling her in ballroom dances which he is but I don't think it should look quite so obvious. Dani too is in with a chance. However she too does not always move smoothly through the dance. However her foxtrot was a very good effort. However the winner often comes from around the middle of the leader board and emerges in the final stages. The chemistry has to be there to make the story believable and it is often someone who was a real beginner and shows great progress. I have a feeling this year we will be surprised who emerges as the winner.
