I picked Pixie just based on the last couple of routines, which I think really came together for her. I like Frankie well enough but her dancing is lacking in charisma/star power. I can see Kevin working overtime to try to drag personality out of her but it's still very "pop-star performing for tweenage girls". There's a distance there. Caroline I'm fine with but the disingenuous way she's being presented compared to her actual level of experience is putting me off getting behind her fully.

This^^^^^^
Unfortunately Frankie being Kevin's partner somewhat puts me off her. I really don't rate Kevin at all.
I prefer Caroline of the 3 too. She has fire, emotion, passion in her dancing the other 2 don't. Pixie is too balletic and controlled, likewise Frankie with the added hindrance of Kevin.
Judging by the results at the moment, the final might be a close call between Caroline and Frankie.
Did not vote myself, as none of them is my favourite this year (yes, I do know it asks you to pick the favourite from those three, but still).

The best dancers at the outset or even at the end seldom win.
I like Simon but will drop him from my votes as many seem to dislike him. I have not see a bad word written about Sunetra.
I think only one of Sunetra and Jake will be in the final and that one will win. Frankie, Pixie and Caroline will come 2nd to 4th. This year we have three ringers. The ringer normally comes 3rd.

as a junior he was british champion numerous times in ballroom and latin until he specialised in latin from 16 onwards (next you will be telling me Anton is Mr Ballroom
) - Kevins dancing is far from desperate - you might not like him or his style of dancing but one thing he is not is desperate

Seconded.

If you watch Brendan dance it looks like it is all about him and not his partner.”

Nooooooo! I think she is gorgeous
She has it all really, looks, humour, character and a great voice. She and Pasha are great together. I think she is a darn sight sexier tham either of the other two - and I'm a straight female!
No One 
BUT IF I have to choose one it would be Pixie.
I find Caroline very forgettable.
Frankie is doing very well but I find her partnership uninspiring
Pixie is a bit meh but at least I always manage to remember her routines by the end of the show.
Out all of them, my favorite dances from Frankie are the Paso and Tango.
Can't remember any of Caroline
Pixie : rumba, waltz, tango, jive.....so yeah I would choose Pixie out of the 3.

Yes, as you say Kevin has a good competitive record (e.g. 7th out of 178 in UK Open in 2006, 11th out of 196 in 2004 Internationals). I do wish people would check their facts first before posting. I'd also add that in order to do well competitively you have to catch the judges' eye. Kevin's style is pretty representative of current Latin dancers. As you say, people don't have to like it, but it is not due to Kevin being 'desperate". Just the way he has been taught to dance.
Their dancing leaves me cold, i see that they're good but i can't warm to them despite the fact that they are all lovely women and seem perfectly nice.
So i vored for who i think is the prettiest....Frankie

They all have the capability to take the crown, however I think Pixie's rather stage school personality puts people off her.
It'll really come down to Caroline and Frankie If one of them was to win. I would love to see Frankie win (shockingly) but somehow I see Jake winning. :/

I want to say Caroline but there's always been something slightly missing in her dancing for me....it hasn't quite 'clicked' yet. Frankie I feel lacks wow factor, she dances well enough but her dances are kinda forgettable. Pixie has grown on me a lot. At the start it felt like she would just been going through the motions doing ballet-esque routines each week, but the last few weeks everything has come together to produce really exciting dances. She's the one I look forward to watching the most, so she gets my vote.

Agreed, although I think Caroline is also great to look at with a fine pair of legs on her!! I feel she dances with heart, it comes from within her, unlike the other girls, who although good seem to lack that oomph!!
I really like all three but my favourite of the three is Caroline
I've been very impressed with Trent's choreogeaphy for Pixie though.

All three of them seem to have a good helping of natural talent, but I suppose some angle has to be found if the aim is to make Caroline somehow sound better than Pixie and Frankie.

You don't think the others have good legs?
And what strange mind-reading technique is used to generate the belief that Caroline dances from within and the others don't?

I find instead that Pixie's and Frankie's dances are the ones that I can watch again and again, while Caroline's are forgettable and unengaging.
I also find the idea that Frankie and Pixie dance "without any emotion, verve or energy" quite bizarre.
Pixie - I think she's the best dancer and really like her partnership with Trent. I also think she dances with plenty of passion, vibrancy and vigour, as highlighted by her three most recent dances (the Rumba, Samba and Tango).
Also really like Frankie and think she's also a very good dancer. Unfortunately her partner (Kevin) has a tendency to irritate me, and for the reasons others on the thread have indicated.
I like Caroline, but think Pixie and Frankie are better dancers. I also find them much more watchable, particularly Pixie.

Kara won .. and so did Alesha and Jill. Natasha too was probably the best dancer her year.
Caroline, as someone else said, she has vibrancy and energy, I get more of a sense of a spark and connection with the dance than the other two.....I like the partnership.
Pixie I like and have enjoyed her dances, but there is something a bit Stepford Wifey about her and even more so Frankie.
Frankie and Kevin just look too twee, I don't sense a real joy or connection of the dance coming from within Frankie.

Sweeett,Ca-ro-line.......da,da daa
though as she's partnered with Pasha she has an (unfair) advantage when it comes to appealing to me on the dancefloor.
Leave Pasha out of the equation and I have to admit to loving watching................ Sunetra.
But then Sunetra is with Brendan and I liked Sophie and Brendan last year so maybe for me,it has a lot to do with the choreography.

This isn't a poll about who is going to win, though - it's about who you want to win out of the three most similar female contestants.
My fave changes weekly depending on how they danced. It's to hard to have a fave from any of the dancers at the mo.
