I think Natalie is going to be out first. Sophie and Susanna will be battling to win it.

If Susanna's QS is anything like the first time round, she might well be out first. Natalie's choice may also lack a bit of impact - the cha-cha is rarely a showstopper.

Impossible to predict until I've seen them perform.

The costume does allow for Artem's assets to be displayed though!

Definitely going to be between those two. Susanna is going to bear the brunt of Natalie being in the dance off last week instead of Natalie, which might lose her a couple of votes.

It's really hard to tell. I tend to leave it until I see who performs well on the night.

A lot hangs in the balance of the showdance.

True. But in terms of who's going first, my guess is Natalie unfortunately.

I think Natalie will be out first. It's going to be between the Charleston & Paso for the glitter ball

Susanna's Quickstep was a shambles first time round.

An interesting idea.

I would have thought that those who wanted to support Natalie (with a vote or two) would have done so regardless as to who was voting for Susanna.

Which is no doubt why the Judges chose it.

disgusted with the judges choice for Susanna

I'd agree, there's only one reason Natalie was in the dance off and Susanna wasn't and that's because not enough people voted for her.


I'm not, it was apparently fine in the dress rehearsal and she just made mistakes during the live show. A bit of polish, perhaps a bit of simplification and it could be a crowd pleaser.

Don't worry, I was at first but apparently it went well all week and she just messd up on the night so hopefully a few weeks on it will be good enough.

My guess,

Susanna out 1st. She will fail when it comes to the technique again.

Sophie wins.

This is on a plate for Sophie to win now.

You don't have much faith in Susanna lol, think its still between her and Sophie to win.

Hard to tell really isn't it. If we're presuming that Susanna and Sophie are leading in votes (and we can't know for sure on that either) them Natalie or Abbey will be first out (say if fanbases are staying loyal to the final end). However if peple start with a clean slate on the final and just vote for the best dancer overall (meaning both technical and performance side) then Nataie and Abbey may still have a chance. But who knows, maybe Sophie will surprise us all, and if she wins then maybe Brendan will even retire frm the show on a high after 10 years of being on it (who knows).

i honestly think the public will save susanna whatever happens. i actually quite like the choice of the quickstep for her, it will be a real "wow" moment if (when!) she actually pulls it off. I think sadly Natalie will be out first just because she doesn't seem to have that much public support compared to the likes of Sophie and Susanna.

I was convinced Susanna was going to win just because of her popularity but now I'm not sure! It really does seem to be anyone's game at the moment. Really don't mind who wins although would prefer it to be either Sophie or Susanna. Abbey would be a great winner too though, ahhh! I just cannot decide!

Not fair to give Susanna a Quickstep IMO. It will not rate well with the public as the others have had dances which where fairly good. I think If the judges wanted to play those games why not give Sophie the Jive or Samba. Abbey the Jive. Natalie.... Oh she's brilliant so does not matter shame she will not win though cause she is too good for Strictly which is ridiculous.

Susannah will most definitely not be out first, it would mean her vote completely collapsed which is most unlikely really, & just wishful thinking if you want another winner.

She may not actually win it in the end but we will be seeing her Paso in the second show

I agree. I think that the showdance will play a major role this year imo.

I dont know why but I find it hard to predict tbh. I still think that anything can happen.

Yup & me. It's between the Charleston & the Paso for the public vote. I think the third person in the final (probably Abbey) will split the vote for Sophie & Susanna will win

This is the public vote. I dont think that a lot of people (especially those who vote for her ) really care about technique.
