I have no clear fav this year ... Abby or Sophie (any order) with Susanna coming 3rd

Good Luck though

We would not need a public vote if the goal was for the best dancer to win. Despite the popular opinion the judges know a thing or two about dancing. It's this mixture of popularity and skills that makes it all interesting and unpredictable.

I quite like them all.

Sophie is the worst dancer left imo.

I never decide in advance who I'm going to vote for in the final. Couples have to earn my vote!

I don't think it makes much odds now anyway, the final four all have the ability to turn it on, and perform.

The old saying " money talks " certainly applies here then

I have been sharing my votes around, depending on the dances, although have voted just for Susanna when she was in the bottom two on the leaderboard. I wouldn't mind any of the dancers winning; any of them would be worthy winners, but I do want to see dances that wow me in the final.

ETA - you can never predict how the showdances will work out. I was sure Pasha and Vincent would produce fantastic numbers whereas they didn't really do it for me, whereas I really liked DVO's, when she hadn't wowed me before. So you just never know.

I agree about couples having to earn my vote, because that's sort of how I feel. However, I think Susanna and Kevin have earned my vote by entertaining me over a number of weeks. I started off spreading my free votes around, and actually can't remember voting for them at all near the beginning, but as time goes on the number of votes that have gone their way has increased until I am now firmly in their camp.

I am currently open minded about who gets my votes if they are eliminated in the first round of the final, so that may depend on who I enjoy most on the night from the remaining three.

DITTO.

This is just how I feel about Susanna and Kevin..
Every week they make me smile.
I enjoy her dances,good or not so good,because she always gives her all,and is so happy to be on the show.

DITTO too!
This is just how I feel too. I've enjoyed Susanna and Kevin's dances and their partnership the most, and they will get my votes on Saturday. I agree Susanna always gives her all,and throws herself into the spirit of the dance.

If Abbey maintains her form I will be rooting for her, but best of luck to Susanna and her fans. These two girls are the only ones who consistently dance for the audience and it's much appreciated

I agree with this 100%. While we're about it, throw in some cute kiddies and make sure all the contestants rabbit on about their 'journey'

The resident Foxtrot experts say Susanna did a good job on Saturday, while the AT experts say Nartem's routine was not recognisable as an AT. Maybe dancing will win out, eh?

It was recognisable as a Strictly Show AT, and that's pretty much what all of them do.

And Susanna did a decent enough job, not brilliant.

I doubt dancing will win. This final seems to have little to do with it.

But we'll have to wait and see.

We can but dream, my friend

Why do you think anyone would mind if you want her to win?

People naturally may want others to win and that's entirely different, but I can't see why anyone would care who you voted for. It's your choice. One person's vote for any of 'em ain't gonna make any difference.

Oh, I wasn't apologising at all - but not many people seem to be coming out in support of Susanna and Kevin at the moment. I'm not sure why - but there are a lot of negative comments about them at the moment, maybe that's why some FMs don't want to come out and say that they like them.

In any case, I was stating that I an supporting them!

I think much of it is because she's not that good a dancer, but she's got the whole of the BBC PR machinery behind her. Not surprising as she's "one of theirs."

Also, because of her job, she's good at "self promotion," far more important given how the public vote will decide the winner, than having some previous dance experience.

Most Susanna supporters stay away because of the hate campaign. Susanna has proven what a beautiful dancer she is by making the final. She started from two left feet, unlike Natalie who arrived as a trained dancer. Susanna may not win but she has proven her talent and the huge british public have proven it with their personal votes. Her danes last week were sublime.

The thread title seems like a justification for voting for one of show's big headed celebs ever. It's clear she will win for her all so sickly sweet false I love me and don't you forget it persona.

I do think it is about personality as well and I have enjoyed performances from people who aren't much better than me Though at this stage it is usually whittled down to those with skill.
For me, Susanna has neither the skill nor a likeable personality and I think she has had a huge advantage as she is daily in the public eye.
One thing that has put me off is her orange brown performance face. Is this down to her? While we can expect TV dance contestants to be a tad 'overdone', why is she the only one who looks char-grilled?

Susanna should have gone last week end of really ��

Not really at all as the public wanted her there enough to vote for her.

Hubby and I love Susanna & Kevin's routines, enjoy her enthusiasm, and find her a ray of sunshine. She may not be as technical as some (unmentioned - fluffy thoughts here), but she has been woefully under-marked on some of her better routines.

I don't care that she is "One of their own" - I watch SCD for the joy of the dance, and for me - she epitomises that.

Team Kevanna have our votes for Saturday's Final - go Team Kevanna! *much love*

Everybody my just as well cast their votes now, because judging and voting for who puts in the better performance and execution of the dance on the night has got nothing to do with who wins
