I agree with these highlighted points. Re the final - have someone coming to stay for Christmas just hope they realise I'm in Saturday definitely for the final - so it will be home delivery on the pizza or parmo and drinkies at home
Are you going to gag them during the show as well???

In other years the polls have been much closer, particularly between the top two. But this year Caroline has polled 65% on the main DS poll, leaving 35% to be shared by the other 3 contestants. A few extra viewers on the night will not make enough difference.
D Spy has long had an infatuation with Caroline.

I was prepared for a Jake win which I'd have been fine with but not wildly enthusiastic about.

Caroline winning instead certainly would be an improvement on that.

Even insisted very firmly we go to Mother-in-Law on Sunday rather than Saturday.

I think Frankie is more likely, and the fact she's never been in the bottom two despite a few dodgy positions on the leaderboard seems indicative of her popularity.

Very much hoping Caroline and Pasha pull off a brilliant show dance to win over the undecided viewers, as I'd love them to lift the trophy, but am currently expecting it to be Frankie and Kevin.

I don't dislike Caroline but I think it would be great if Simon won, but who would begrudge Pasha finally getting his hands on the crystal ball.

I think if Frankie does her tango (and I cant imagine she isn't) she will win

I agree. In previous years there's been a fair degree of variation between different polls, and even if they were mostly tipping one person to win, at least one of them would have it pretty close.

As you allude to, this year they all have Caroline ahead and by a considerable margin. As such it's difficult to see anyone but Caroline winning.

The only proviso I would add to that is that some of her vote could be fairly soft. having it seems been recently gained. If Frankie could have a barnstorming final and in doing so, outshine Caroline, she may go some way to closing the gap that seems to exist at this moment in time. But even that might not be enough and Caroline's current level of support might just be too big.

A decent non twee Fred & Ginger number could swing it for Frankie & Kevin. Whilst they have never been in the dance off, Susanna & Kevin were never in the dance off either.

I keep changes as to who i thinks is the best dancer, who i want to win, and who i think will win....... This has never happened to me before.

The only constant is that mark is the worst dancer, i dont want him to win and i dont think he'll win.

I want Caroline to win as I'll win the most money if she does !! I've got small bets on all except Simon ! I've a feeling that Frankie might be first out.

That's a point... Kevin from Grimsby has never been in a dance-off!

Personally I hope Caroline wins, but I hope all these polls don't make people complacent and put them off voting for her. It really is not in the bag at all.

I couldn't say out of either of the two girls, though a good and glamorous Fred and Ginge could make a difference...

About people referring to Caroline by her last name, she's get referred to as Flack all the time. She has about a bazillion nicknames, Flack, Flacky, Flackers all being up there.

I really hope Caroline(and Pasha) do manage to nap the glitterball, I for one will be voting like crazy on Saturday. I'll win a big enough bet if she wins(also I think she deserves to win and fangirl pride etc).

Many people were predicting a Susanna Reid win last year based on similar polls.

Also, this year's finalists are all a bit fragile and any one of them could come unstuck on the night.

Since at least as far back as when she was one of the presenters for The Games: Live at Trackside back in 2005.

Yes, I think the perception that she's 'pleased with herself' (ie 'smug', I suspect,) is way off the mark!!!!

But then, people see what they want to see sometimes.
...
It isn't quite what "smug" means, and no, I don't think people want to see her as pleased with herself. They just find that they do, perhaps because she is.

Radio times poll has changed a lot, and currently it is:-

39.5% for Caroline.
39.5% for Frankie,

The boys have the other 20% between them.

So Frankie has had a massive surge since the last poll and Caroline dropped off, maybe her Twitter spat with her x is having an effect.

I'm having a terrible sense of de ja vu,I'm sure I've read this in two other places.

But thanks,anyway,now you've shown me how close it is,I'll make a special effort to vote for Caroline and Pasha.

Caroline still has 65% of the vote on DS and 58% on Tellymix....Frankie way behind her.

Simon is ahead of Frankie on the Forum "who do you want to win" poll.
