I think it's between these two.

They both have good dances in the final round, though I think Sophie's Charleston is more of a show-stopper. The show dances may be what decides it in the end.

I just can't see how Natalie will escape being first out after being in the dance off last week and Abbey probably has too much to do to catch the front two.

I suspect Abbey overtook Sophie last week. Don't think she can catch Susanna though.

Unless Kevin has had a number of replica puppet Susanna's made for the show dance, she's got it in the bag.

Abbey now seems to be more popular with the general public if the betting odds provide any guidance but I think any of the couples can win it on the night.

Was another thread really necessary When they're already similar ones

You're right, but I've got a bet on all of them so I'm in the money somewhere !! Susanna must have a huge public vote to still be there at all, but if Sophie pulls off the Charleston again, I think she'll win. Natalie no chance with a public - only vote.

That Charleston really could win it for Sophie.

I also think Abbey is more popular and she has a great chance of winning. I prefer her to win than Susanna.

Abbey wont win. She will come third at best. She isnt as popular as Sophie and Susannah. She will be shocked when she doesnt win though

I'm not so sure. I never thought when the celebrities were announced that I would be rooting for Abbey. But I am, and I know a lot of others who have also been won over by Abbey over this series.

IMO she will finish second, I think she has overtaken Sophie now. But I still think she is (for reasons not clear to me)still well behind Susanna in public vote.

I certainly don't think Abbey will be shocked if she doesn't win, she will be aware as we all are that Susanna is expected to win.

They are all so close that the show dance will probably be a deciding factor this year. Those who decide who to vote for on the night instead of always voting for a favourite celeb could be key to who gets the glitterball.

By the time the final round of dances are finished there isn't much time for voting in the final so I don't know if it will really make much difference to Sophies votes. I think if it was being danced in the first half of the show it might have been a vote puller but I think a lot hinges on the showdance instead now.

Yeah I think a lot of people only vote in the final and if they don't already have a favourite then can be easily influenced by a brilliant showdance.

Possibly less popular than Susanna but I think she is probably more popular than Sophie.

I actually think she would be more shocked if she DID win, than she would be if she didn't.

Polls are notoriously unreliable but roughly combining all the polls it looks more like an Abbey vs Sophie tussle.

Yep, to be fair OP you have started a lot of threads about Sophie, two in the last 24 hours in fact. Do we really need so many?

Impossible to call as we just don't know where Abbey ranks now. She could be a dark horse and steal the show, or she could be vieing with Natalie for the bottom slot. I've really no idea, but my hunch is that she's been gaining public support the last few weeks.

The bookies are notoriously wrong in these types of competition, so they're no help. Saturday night you'll see a lot of first time casual voters who will never have voted in previous weeks. Those are the ones who will swing it. Having said all that, I'm going to predict Sophie will win.

Having just done a straw poll of 5 different polls Abbey is in front with Sophie next & Natalie & Susanna neck & neck.

All that does is make Sophie just second place to Abbey rather than a good bit behind Abbey but in front of Susanna & Natalie. As it is an incredibly loaded poll it really should not be included.
