YAY ; 1 vote for him so far
And Dont feel bad for rooting for Dave , I also did at one point .

Sophie (I have faith) and Natalie

Too this point they have been mentioned the following number of times.....didn't divide into fav & second fav or even third in some cases. !!

Abbey 28
Natalie 27
Mark 24.
Sophie 18
Ashley 12
Susanna 11
Patrick 5
Ben 4
Fiona 3
Dave 1

I don't seem to have one clear favourite so far this year but the two names that come instantly to mind are Sophie and Mark.

I haven't developed a strong preference for anyone this year.

However I am somewhat rooting for Mark and Patrick because each seems to be somewhat under-rated by the lovely people on DS. I am not saying they are the best but they are much better than many are giving them credit for. And if I had to dance with one of the celeb guys at a social dance it would be Patrick for me by a country mile.

Natalie
then Mark. really loved Deborah

*Performs complicated secret handshake with An Thropologist and primer*

Them's my two too (i've already voted though Jan... Don't add me twice )

Uhmmm interesting.....thanks for the tally lol.

Natalie then Sophie.

Can't decide between Susanna, Abbey and Sophie at the moment. If Sophie doesn't pull off a half decent AT this week then it's between Abbey and Susanna for me.

RUNNING TOTALS:-

Abbey 29
Natalie 29
Mark 27
Sophie 21
Ashley 12
Susanna 12
Patrick 6
Ben 4
Fiona 3
Dave 1

Ashley I don't really have a 2nd favorite (unless you count Kevin)

Sophie (like her personality too)
Abbey, has improved so much.

Plus......love Mark


I know Natalie is the best dancer but look forward to the three above more

Thats not really true though is it? Post 47 strongly insinuated that she should not be there which is what YL responded to.

1. Sophie (charmingly different and the Charleston was amazing)
2. Dave (so long as he keeps trying)

There are so many FMs including Mark in their top 2 I think I should put a bet on while the odds are still high!

My favourite two:-
Natalie & Mark!

Ditto

They are the two I look forward to seeing each week but I need a longer sub bench for Patrick and Ashley too

delete

It is true

Because post 47 (the one in the middle ) was only replying to post 43 (the first post ); Which proves my point once again that most of the times, Natalie own fans are the main ones to bring this " issue " when no one (so far in the thread ) even insinuated it.

my two favourites?

Abbey
Dave

Natalie/Mark

I can't do just 2

(I prefer Natalie as a dancer, but I have warmed more towards Abbey personality wise to my huge surprise as she is many thing I strongly dislike.)

Mark is my favourite. I struggle for a second choice but atm would probably go for Abbey.
