The longer she stays in the competition the morre I have to give praise to Gleb. And before anyone asks, no I'm not one who swoons over him, I think he is a very good choreographer. I really praise him. I think he has created very good routines which show Anita's strengths.
If I'm honest, I'm not sure she's a dark horse. There are other partnerships that I think may be more popular than her. Last nights Jive was good and very entertaining and hard to believe that she has had no previous dance training so credit to her.
She comes across as a hard grafter, if that's the right term. Very determined and obviously puts the time and hours in but she seems at the same level each week. A good competent dancer but not 'wow' enough for me.

Me Sir, over here (waves one arm in the air frantically)

Sorry, it was a bit of a dig at the sniping that starts at this point of every series! DS becomes a little

She can win but she will need to improve lot. She needs to move beyond being a good contestant and start being the best on the night. That's a tall order.

I like Anita - enthusiatic absolute beginner who has worked hard and progressed.

She has the advantage of being used to live TV so not nervous.

I also like Jay a lot.

And Jeremy, but don't think he'll get to the final, even though he's progressed

A couple of weeks ago I would have said yes, but after Halloween and lamst week, I think the darky horsey is Georgia. As long as Georgia doesn't regress, I think she might just pip Anita (if there is a four final with perhaps, Peter, Jay, Helen and either Georgia or Anita). Georgia was prob off the radar in the early weeks, but she is now out of from behind Anita and def emerging alongside her now (and some love an upward journey).

Lots of the people that I know that like Anita quite fancy gleb too, so I wonder if his presence helps with her popularity (in addition to the dancing aspect) . In. contrast the people that I know that like Georgia really like her (as a enthusiastic being) starting to become more engaged with her dancing too, but don't immensely like or even fancy Giovanni. So I think Georgia is prob the main target of affection with her coupling, whereas I couldn't call who the main affection of the Anita/gleb coupling falls on. For me I'd say Anita is my main focus, but I know others that just engage with their partnership through gleb. as likewise engage with the team g partnership through their growing Georgia appeal.

Me too

I know she is and so many of us like you notice it. I am a little surprised at one or two comments that are really nasty but hey ho some people just don't like others to do well.

I think Anita is fab and she is my second fav after Jay, but you are right in as much as I will only vote for Jay as he is my number 1.

Unfortunately it's been at that point of the series for weeks.

She's lovely, loved her on Who Do You Think You Are?

I love Anita and she is the best female for pulling off amazing choreo and being a lovely person, but there is no way Jay will not win this year. Nothing beats endearingly awkward, woobie-faced Jive boy.
