I like 'em both as well - expecting to have to retire to a padded cell for the remainder of Strictly having fierce arguments with myself
Wait until the semi-finals, and then argue. Just support them both right now, and enjoy their joy of dancing!!

Goodness there are going to be some very messy heads, and I am pleased to find me in the company of so many liberal minded broad appeal likers
My love is unconfined. Until Sophie is in bottom two

Not only do I like Natalie AND Sophie.... But I like Susanna, Rachel, Fiona, Deborah and Abbey too!!!

I could join in on some fan warz for the guys though as I don't really like any of them
Ditto. Even Ashley and Patrick, who have serious promise, are a bit...wet? Meh.

I like them both though they bring such different qualities to the dance floor. However, I have to admit I find Sophie a bit more intriguing at the moment. I guess it's because, while you can be almost 100% certain Natalie will perform well, Sophie has the element of surprise in her favour and I find myself rooting for her more because I really want her to keep confounding expectations.
I agree with this - quite a few posters on this forum started out not expecting Sophie to be much good or only good in the ballroom, her waltz in the first week was pleasant but tentative and then she came out in the second week and completely surprised with a daring, confident Charleston - also it's been so long since we've seen Brendan with anyone good, it'll be interesting to see what choreography he can create to showcase Sophie and I'm intrigued at how her Latin will turn out.

I'll enjoy watching Natalie and Artem, I think they make a good team and I'm sure Artem will come up with some stunning choreography for Natalie but I don't really expect anything less from them.

If Brendan and Artem both make it to the finals - we might see some real fan wars then, both of them past winners and popular pros.

I really like both, as well as Abbey. I did expect to like Sophie the most as I always have liked her even though I dont follow her music. Abbey I expected to dislike and Natalie wasnt sure.

I am a bit like I was in season 8, supporting both Kara and Matt.

I can't say I've really noticed any fan wars yet. Lots of people seem to like lots of the contestants.

Susanna and Natalie seemed to divide opinion most but they're still generally popular on here.

I don't dislike anyone but Vanessa and Julien. Begone noisy divas!

I like Natalie and Sophie and find Abbey interesting to watch; I think she has talent and I want to see how far she goes.

Rebecca is beautiful and one kind of hoped she'd better, but she is really not trying and the girl has zero rhythm.

Susanna is not that good. Sorry, but she is not. I think she is being supported by the judges because she's a Beeb girl but her dancing is as heavy as a cart horse.

The rest are unremarkable and Ashley, poor love, is utterly forgettable.

Exactly; she is grossly over-marked every week and tomorrow wont be any different .

That's how much of an impression Rachel has made on you.

Agree 100%. I find Deborah more interesting to watch as a dancer than Susanna. And can't invest in any of men yet, bar Mark.

Well not that I want to get into a fan war with anyone but IMO Abbey's been overhyped and she was definitely over-marked last week and it won't surprise me if they do it throughout the series.

I like Sophie, Mark, Ben, Deborah, Rachel, Patrick, Artėm, I did like Tony... But most of all, I want Dave to flourish. Gawd luv him.

And second-most of all, there are still too many. I have to count on my fingers even to be sure I've remembered my 'favourites'

It seems to me that fan wars have already arrived in week 2

What about those of us who like both, where will we fit in ?

I like Natalie I don't care she has experience and I love it that she is loud, confident and is producing wonderful dancing, it is lovely to see Artem so happy and at peace with the world producing the sublime choreography the does so well.

I love Sophie that Chalreston was great and I love it that she pulled it out of the bag unexpectedly when everyone was saying it really would not suit her. So far that is what being said about her Samba but what I saw on ITT was the suppleness required for the Latin. People seem to equate quiet with dull, without noticing one of the dirtiest laughs I have heard for a while.

I want both of them to do well.
But what happens to people like me who are 'meh' about both at the moment. Do I get to eat popcorn & point & laugh at everyone? In fact the only ones I'm not 'meh' about are Dave & Mark, but that's for entertainment value only & Julien and Vanessa are the only ones I dislike.

In some ways i'm enjoying the series more because I don't have a favourite. Should I pick a contenders name out of a hat in order to back them in fan warz or risk my head exploding too!

No don't pick so,done out the hat you could get Patrick and then be upset when he is a "shock " boot to a worse dancer

You know you have to miss the next year as well ,

But it has be said I don't think we have had a decent flounce this year, so go for it, just give some advanced notice so we can all point and laugh or applaud depending on the scoring

I hope there are no fan wars this year, but they always pop up the closer we get to December. I too like Natalie (who's the best right now), Sophie (who's got the most potential), and Abbey (who resides somewhere between the two) and no amount of fan nastiness will change my support for all three.

No one is advocating nastiness but some Natalie and Sophie fans are already getting very judgemental about the other ones dancing

Sad . We should appreciate and support both for their respective reasons.

Sophie fan even before she started, but if it came to a final showdown and N. danced better, she (N) wpuld get my vote.
