The word gets thrown about all the time, but who do you think will be the journey contestant this series?

Poll now up

Ben, unfortunately

Ben. I don't think it'll be much of a journey, but he's a sweet man and I'm happy for him to stick around.

Ben, usually journey contestants were male. I'm hoping Rachel will be the first female journey celeb...

quick question - is this a multiple vote poll or can I just vote for one celeb?

Just one couple. When the options are circles it's just one poll, but when the options are squares it's a multiple choice poll

thank you - did not know about the circles and squares

So many to choose from this year...I can't decide

After his surprising Rumba last week, I'd say Ben

The hairy biker.

I have to say Ben. He really surprised me with his Waltz and Rumba as both dances were better than expected and he is growing on me each week. If he can pull off a good Salsa, then he'll definitely be the journey contestant.

I haven't voted because I genuinely can't decide between them, but Ben or Rachel.

Ben's Rumba wasn't truly awful, but he didn't do much other than supporting his partner. He has no natural rhythm, so his Salsa won't be good.

Rachel's Cha Cha was no better than her Salsa, but it seems like they are forcing her into the "journey" slot.

Julien - journey home imminent.

They all have a journey really, but just in their different ways.
I believe all the celebs have a journey in relation to their own ability, rather than a journey in relation to each other.

Even a good dancer can improve and if they have got better by the end from where they were frm the start, then they'e had a journey. Same with a rubbish dancer, if they improve from where they were at the start, then they've had a journey (it's all relative to their own ability and the pace and extent in which they can improve it from the start point to their exit.

No rubbish dancer will be able to push themseleves to the same extent as the better dancer will, but that doesn't mean the better dancer has had a lesser journey. A rubbish dancer will ush themseleves up to their limitations, and a better dancer (like Kara) will push themselves beyond their limitaitons, so they both are still woring hard and improvijgn, despte being at oposite ends of the ability spectrum.

Dave hasn't had a journey, imo, as I have yet to see what he's actully improved on. If Ben ever want to improve in Latin then he needs to become less square-hipped.

Ben or Rachel, maybe Deborah, maybe Fiona. A lot of the others are quite good to start with (Sophie, Abbey) though not the finished item, so I prob would also vote for them at a pinch.

Six journeyers. Eight if we count Dave and Mark.

Uh, what Smokey said

Bonny Ben!

But of course!

I'm a faithful one-man woman and not hedging my bets.....

Beautiful Ben!

Your Ben fangirling paid off now. He seemed to have shot up many ovaries last Saturday after the VT and that rumba. But this may be short lived, his Salsa training looks pants.

Mark or Deborah for me, but I voted Deborah. I was expecting bad performances from her but she's really surprised me. Ok, so the Jive probably won't be her dance, but she's doing really well and she's made Robin step up his choreography too.

Yes, Ben's one of the few true novices, but I favoured him as soon as I heard he'd signed up for the programme. See, I'm so loyal to those I support! As long as he tries his best tomorrow I'll be satisfied. He needs to become more supple somehow.

Come on Ben!!!

Hopefully Dave but it's more likely to be Deborah, Mark or Ben.

Dave is a really lovely guy and I really enjoyed his first dance and I'm loving his partnership with Karen, but well he's not really improving much is he? If he doesn't improve for me the 'joke' will start to wear thin in a couple of weeks time especially if we lose someone who has shown big improvement.

For me it's between Rachel and Mark. I love watching Mark, for a big guy he moves very well and I'm finding him very entertaining - I think he's so sweet and funny with Iveta. I went for Rachel in the end because she's a complete dance novice and I'm enjoying seeing what Pasha can do with a complete beginner, I think she's growing in confidence and improving. I'm also enjoying Ben and Deborah.
