The bookies go..Jake 2/1, Frankie 9/4, Pixie 7/2 and Caroline 4/1. Quite a gap then to Mark at 12/1. Judy, Sunetra and Steve are all quoted at 66/1 with Alison the complete outsider at 80/1.
Pixie seems to divide opinion, so I can't see her winning. Frankie and Caroline are very competent technically but can be easily forgettable. Jake should have a great chance if he can get his mojo back. If pushed, I would go for Frankie, but I won't be putting any money on it at those odds.


A bit rude towards Sunetra & Steve. They are clearly much better dancers then her and unless the bookies know more, they could also be getting more audience votes.

Funny that Mark is relatively short in the odds (compared to Steve & Sunetra), as he actually already has had a dance-off behind him. The bookies are probably betting on an Abbey repeat (it could be, but people were warming towards Abbey and some people seem to hate Mark still or even worse; plus Abbey had Aljaz, while Mark has Karen).

I'd say Frankie. Kevin is popular. Maybe Caroline because of the Pasha-factor?

Not at all sure. It could be anyone but Alison or Judy and I don't think I'd be terribly surprised. Mmmm, not Sunetra.

Well for me it is SO tough this season!

We have a clear group, and yet a group nipping at their heels each with good stories!

1) Frankie & Kevin
2) Mark & Karen
3) Jake & Janette
4) Pixie & Trent
5) Caroline & Pasha
6) Steve & Ola
7) Sunetra & Brendan
--------------------------------
8) Judy & Anton - won't win but clearly have support.
--------------------------------
9) Simon & Kristina - waiting game.
10) Alison & Aljaz - waiting game.

I'm no expert BUT I don't see him getting past Frankie, Caroline or pixie; .
And from what I've seen so far , unfortunately a lot of people ( outside Ds ) still associate him with Essex and no matter how good he dances, cries, they're not swayed. ...they still don't like him.

Don't get me wrong, I really like him and love his enthusiasm for the show but I find it rather unlikely for him to make the finale. Jmo

I would like to be proven wrong though....
Fair enough, I would have said the same a week ago, but his popularity has really grown in this Forum in the past week, which I hope is a reflection on how the average viewer feels.

If he continues to improve as he has done every week, I still feel that he has a fair chance. Anyway, only time will tell, we'll just have to wait and see.

Like Nat from last year and countless others, Pixie has been deemed too good by many, a silly criticism in my opinion. After all, it's a dance competition so good dancing is a positive But I understand someone bears the brunt of the ringah tag and sadly it is her, but I will just enjoy each of her dances

I don't mind people thinking someone is too experienced but some people can be shockingly bitchy

I think Frankie & Kevin will win, but I'd prefer Mark & Karen or Jake & Janette. If those three couples make the final (along with either of Pixie & Trent or Caroline & Pasha), then I'll be happy. I think Mark & Karen are likely to get the boot in the semis though, leaving the other 4 couples I've already mentioned as the finalists.

I think those 5 are clear of the rest, with Sunetra, Simon and Steve 6th-8th in any order, Alison 9th (i.e. eliminated in Blackpool) and Judy hopefully getting the boot next week.


My personal ranking would probably be:

1. Jake & Janette
2. Mark & Karen
3, Frankie & Kevin
4. Pixie & Trent
5. Caroline & Pasha
6. Sunetra & Brendan
7. Steve & Ola
8. Simon & Kristina
9. Alison & Alijaz
10. Judy & Anton

Think: Frankie and Kevin.

I could see Jake & Janette maybe winning but have to say Frankie and KFG look the frontrunners so far.

Just think.

Its pretty obvious.
It would be nice if you just said who it was. I'd imagine either Frankie or Judy from that.

Want : Caroline and Pasha or Pixie and Trent
Think : Frankie and Kevin

There was outrage wen DVO was in the competition because of her dance background. Yet there is no outrage about Frankie or pixie .

I presume your post is heavily ironic/sarcastic given the amount of discussion about experience there is on here, but either way Frankie and Pixie are by no means the only ones with experience in dance, and the only person with directly relevant experience is in fact Caroline!
