Just thought this would be an interesting poll. Vote for anyone you think could realistically stand a chance of winning at this stage.

I wish to vote for Frankie. Oh I see, there's a proper poll above - I'll use that !! But if you ask me who I'd like to win, it's Mark., because he's such a trier and works so hard.

Polls always take a few minutes to appear after you've posted

Oh No! I didn't realise it was multiple choice. Can I have another go?

I clicked five of them. Seems quite open to me at this stage

I would love to see Mark win, and the way that he is improving every week I think that he stands a good chance.

I think we're down to Caroline, Frankie or Jake.

Any one of Frankie, Caroline, Pixie, Jake, even that horrid Mark. Anyone but Mark, he's not a proper celeb anyway.

I hope he won't win but I think he is being pushed as the journey contestant! Pixie is one of the best dancers but won't win so either the other two best dancers Frankie and Caroline could take it, or Jake. But I do get a feeling Mr Showbiz Wright might do well

He does seem to be the 'journey' contestant, has he had previous training?

Agreed, I could have ticked the box of my own favourites, but I have to stay realistic about it (the poll for favourite couple is something else, obviously).

It's got to be Caroline.
She's never had a bad week. She's such a natural.

Caroline, Frankie, Jake, Mark and Pixie all have a chance of winning - and they're all of a decent enough standard that it wouldn't be awful if they did win.

Who I want to win, though, is Mark or Jake.

This. I don't think Pixie has the public support and Mark will not improve much further.

I think it will depend on how much the voting public care about dance ability versus like-ability when it gets to the final.

I think Frankie scores the highest on both categories. Pixie, Caroline, and Jake are all good dancers and are likeable - but not in the same likeability league as Frankie.

I think Steve has masses of likeability and if he made it to the final and managed a good performance, he could be in with a shot of beating the better dancers. However, I don't know if he can pull it off and, once Judy and Allison have gone and we're down to the good dancers, if he hits the bottom two he's out.

Mark has more likeability than dance ability but, like Frankie, he does well in terms of both. So, he could be in with a shot too.

I'd like to call it as Frankie to win. But, honestly, I could see Frankie, Steve, Mark, Pixie, Jake, or Caroline win - in that order of probability!

Of the others - Judy and Allison are dead certs to go. Sunetra is respectable as a dancer and Simon is a good dancer, but I don't think they'll get the public support required to reach the final. They've made it this far, but it's going to get tougher once Judy and Allison are gone.

One of Sunetra, Jake, Steve and Mark will get to the final and win. Pixie, Caroline and Frankie will share 2nd to 4th between them.

It looks to be a straight fight between Frankie and Jake. Pixie has no chance despite being the best dancer. Caroline will probably make the final but won't win. I would say though, don't rule out Judy. She could be the shock winner.

I think it's between Jake and Frankie, with Mark an outsider.

I have voted for Frankie, Jake and Mark

I dont enjoy watching Frankie, cant abide Kevin and I do prefer to see a contestant who is learning to dance, not one who is just perfecting her moves....however, she does seem to be popular and has a good chance of winning....

I like Jake, though I do wonder if either his other work commitments or Janette's choreography will let him down at some point ( I really like Janette so this is not a criticism of her, but I think her skills are more limited than some of the other pros )

And Mark....... I have surprised myself by how much I have enjoyed his routines ( particularly as I dont like Karen ) and , as others have said, he could be the * J * contestant .......... but, equally there is a lot of anti Mark feeling around, so that might work against him, particularly if the Joodges decide to make him their pet.

Agree with this .... Pixie will not win, in fact I doubt she will make the final, I think she will be in 5th place and just miss the cut....

If Judy avoids the DO and if she really is as popular as is being reported in some places, then yes, could see her being the shock winner.........Anton's face would be a picture

I haven't voted for Judy so far, but if she's in the final and Steve isn't - I'll vote for her, just because it would annoy the judges so much!

Why on earth would you want to make a mockery of the show like that? If the winner can't dance, then it's not Strictly Come Dancing anymore. And Judy certainly can't dance!

Because, if she makes the final, the show will already have been made a mockery of, so we might as well go the whole hog and make it clear that they need to revamp the format if they want it to work out differently. (I'm happy with how it currently works - but if the rest of the public aren't, then they'll do something about it in that scenario.)

I think Jake, Frankie and Caroline have a realistic chance of winning but I don't think Pixie does because of her so called "dance experience."

For me, I want one of the best dancers to win, aka, Pixie, Frankie or Caroline but wouldn't mind Jake, Sunetra or Mark winning.

I think Judy will be out soon, I don't think she has a realistic chance of winning, because as soon as it's the final, in my belief, people will want someone who dances well to win a dancing show and Judy CANT DANCE!
