didn't like the look of that contemporary themed showdance - the sight of caroline hoiked over pasha's shoulder like a sack of coal gave me horrible flashbacks to the lisa snowdon brendan cole catastrophe....

I dont usually rely on DS polls because they're not really representative of the voting public imo.
At the moment, I STILL dont know who can win but imo it's between Caroline and Frankie.

I remember this forum last year....an overwhelming favorite pegged Susanna and Sophie as the winner; much like other polls and on the night Abbey ended up winning .

Anything can happen on the night imo. It will be either Frankie or Caroline.

Well last year, Susanna was topping MOST of the polls and almost everyone was convinced that her or Sophie were going to win, and look at what happened ?
Yes...until the last week when things changed and suddenly the anti-susanna campaign meant that abbey clancey stormed through. I don't see that happening this time. The other three are splitting the anti- caroline vote (however big that is).
One thing though....frankie has finished ahead of the other three in the public vote at one time or another, more than once in some cases....the week caroline was bottom 2, frankie was only one place ahead of her on the leaderboard. Weeks ago I know, but still.....

think the best policy is to ignore polls and just vote for your fave - look at X Factor who would have thought Ben won every vote from week 3 - everyone thought Andreas or Fleur were winning it - I thought of the three finalists he was the one who scrapped through when really he was runaway winner

I would really like Caroline and Pasha to win, I like both of them. Their charleston was my favourite dance of the series, I have re-watched it so many times!

Going to be one of the two girls - but I wouldn't like to say which one - the jury is still out.
The public does not rate Simon or Mark (have both been in the bottom two ) THREE times a piece. Does not matter how well they dance - It is the public who will decide NOT LEN. S&M are only in the final thanks to Len.

Two horse race for the final: A woman is going to do it again

BTW: Pixie should have been there with them - but Len ruined that one.

Happens all the time. Ever since Pop Idol when it was perceived that Gareth was going to win and Will did.

Yes, Mark is in the final because Len saved him, after he was in the bottom 2. Simon is there because the public voted enough, last Satutday so that he could be in the final. If the public didn't want Simon in the final, he would have been in the bottom 2, last Saturday.

I would personally be very pleased if Simon won, I spotted his potential in the first group dance before the competition started. He has come on in leaps and bounds and has had to deal with personal issues along the way. I love the way Kristina works him hard and he just gets on with it. The perfect student.
A very close second, or my prefered winner if not Simon, has to be Frankie. I really like her and their partnership. I feel she is a lovely dancer and over the 10 standard ballroom/latin dances, is actually better than Caroline.
Frankie has improved in many areas where I feel Caroline was good at the start but I have not noticed any improvement. You can only be as good as the information given by the pro and Kevin is a much better dancer and has far more ballroom/latin knowledge than Pasha. All my opinions of course.

Good post.

Are you definitely going to vote for Simon and Frankie, on the night?

He really is massively talented and in my opinion, is/was the best male celeb in the entire show. As a dancer he ticks all the boxes for me, and over time, I would like his feet worked on, especially in ballroom, but he is great. Kristina has clearly worked him very hard and its obvious that he has listened, learned and applied. You can't ask for more than that.
Good luck to all finalists though

He's a great dancer. Simon and Kristina make a good team.

Yes, good luck to all finalists.

I'll be using my votes for Caroline and Pasha for sure. I've supported them all the way along and contrary to what a lot of posters believe, I think she has improved so much throughout the series. She's more polished, for the most part her steps are cleaner, she seems to have a good relationship with Pasha and I'm keeping everything crossed for her to lift the glitter ball.

Curious as to why you think this. I know Kevin was a good youth dancer, but can't really see that his dancing especially went beyond this level.

And it would be lovely for Pasha too!

By the way I have just seen a poster for Pasha and Anja's show which is coming to the Island! Hooray!
