Is this Final as One -sided as the polls on here suggest?

Don't believe that someone is immune to "unlikebility". For example, it quite annoys me when she shows so much enthusiasm for absolutely everything. Zoe only need to say hello to her on ITT and Caroline starts shrieking and clapping as if she's in the National Lottery audience. That's not the behavior of anyone I know in real life. Too much media personality! (Not a bad dancer though).
I find Carline and her 'media personality' very hard to warm to.

It's also annoying that the judges over-mark and over-praise Caroline, and that Zoe seems to have "Flackers" as a personal friend. (Does Zoe have such a nickname for anyone else?) Caroline's excessive popularity is annoying too. (All the polls seem to be online ones, btw. I wonder how popular she is anywhere else.)

If her Charleston makes another appearance, that will be another big point against her from my POV. I wouldn't want anyone to win SCD on the back of such a dance.

Yes he has been the person who's really grown on me and I'd be delighted to see him win. As well as Kristina who is a pro I've always wanted to see win.

Why?

Also, Zoe has nicknames for just about everyone!!

Wasn't Susanna Reid the front runner and "impossible to beat" in some polls last year? Maybe I remembered wrongly though
Exactly - also never in a dance off, so make of that what you will.

Bookies front runners depend as much on bets placed as form.

Just wish Frankie had a different partner. There is something about Kevin with his nervous laugh & over dancing which puts me off. Ditto Karen but for differing reasons.

Caroline is known as Flackers by a lot of people. Seems better than Frankenstein.

Why what? The Charleston? I detest that sort of Charleston.

What are Zoe's nicknames for the other contestants? I haven't heard her use any nickname for anyone in the way she uses "Flackers" for Caroline, and I've watched most ITTs this year.

They depend almost entirely on bets placed, though the bets may depend on form.

Yes what's wrong with that sort of Charleston. Karen "Hot Lips" Hauer, Iveta Lukapoopoo

She always called Judy ... Judymoo.

judmoo is Judy's Twitter name. Caroline's is carolineflack1. So for that and other reasons I don't think it's the same phenomenon.

So? Note the "Caroline L" part. Besides, is that ever her? There seems to be a bunch of Caroline Flack accounts on Facebook, and if that one is her, it looks like she probably added the "L" and "'ers" because someone else got the plain name first (like she needed the "1" on Twitter).

I'm still waiting for any more examples of Zoe using nicknames, apart from Judy's.

Even though she was never my favourite, I picked Frankie as the winner on the launch show so I will stick with my choice. Having just seen that she is doing a show dance to 'Get Happy' (she described it on ITT as a Fred & Ginger dance), I think she will have the edge over Caroline.

Best thing about her winning would be that it reinforces the point from last year that you can be in the B2 and still win.

That's good for the contestants and the show generally and hopefully reminds people that being in the B2 doesn't necessarily equate to unpopularity.

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 is too eager to win, and clearly ambitious.

Judmoo .. is not Judymoo though is it. Zoe's put her own twist on the name. She prefers a nickname .. and loves using a surname. We have 'Legs' Lowe and 'Hot Lips' Hauer etc etc.

no, I don't think there is a clear cut winner at all

I do believe it could be any of them - yes, even Mark

It think it will all depend on how each couple performs on the night

I agree

Looks like its going in favour of Frankie with her gap widening now Jimbo.... I guess realises what I had been suspecting since the beginning .....

You are not a fan then? o_O

I find Kevin & Karen also too desperate to win, most professionals are more invested in winning than their celebrity. Caroline would be trying harder not to make mistakes if she was so desperate to win.

Ha, quite. I do wonder how people draw those sorts of conclusions though - all the remaining contestants would clearly like to win & do their best. Not sure how any of them appear more eager to win (aside from Mark's frequent reminders for voters to root for him, the one and only underdog!).

In fact, from the beginning Caroline has stood out to me as one of the celebs just there to get the most out of the experience and learn as much as she can. I always love to see someone who clearly adores the show and enjoys what it's all about, as it seems such a wonderful opportunity
