Judges have always carried their favourites through to the final.
I do believe they will want Kevin in the final.

My prediction is Greg will win it.

At the moment I would say Louise but I'm hoping Daisy will have a chance of making the final if she picks up some momentum over the next 3 or 4 weeks.

Really difficult to predict. I think it may all well be down to fanbase. Shame that Daisy isn't getting the love because she seems to be such a lovely, positive person. I do hope she stays in for a while longer. I hope it's her or Claudia. I haven't been overly wowed by Louise as yet.

I'm not a fan of Daisy, but I'm surprised she was in the dance off this Saturday, looks like she might not last as long as some others.

I'd like to think Louise could go furthest. But then I'm weird.

If I had to choose one of the ladies it would be Daisy since now Lesley has left none of the remaining ladies grab me. But am thinking it may be an all male final.

That's a very bold prediction. I would love you to be right but alas I don't think those pidgeon toes are going to point in the right direction any time soon.

I really hope its Claudia, and think she has a good chance. She's the best girl by miles IMO.

Louise could well make the final but will have to be dragged there by the judges, I suspect they're keeping her out of the bottom 2 at present but that may end soon. I think Daisy's DO appearance was probably just a blip, but can see Laura and Anastacia leaving quite soon.

Danny and Ore are going to be in the final unless they come up against each other in the DO. Judges will always save them. Personally I would prefer some machinations to allow a 4 person final (no elimination week?) but I would rather see Greg or the Judge in there than any of the girls. We had an all girl final a few years ago - why not an all boy?

I think it will be Louise

I dont think Claudia can catch up, technique wise and I dont think AJ is doing her too many favours at the moment

Am expecting Anastacia to be out this week or next - I think she only got a bounce with her QS and Gorka

Daisy and Laura dont seem to have the support, going by their appearances in the DO

At the minute, I can see either Claudia or Greg making it to the final without troubling the dance off and one of Danny/Ore/Louise loosing out.

I think it will be Louise zzzzzzzzz

Sorry must have nodded off

I can see a show elimination got Claudia around the quarter finals. I was expecting her to be the best. Outstanding infact. Sometimes she's a bit of a disappointment. I still like her but she's not my fave. Would love Laura or Daisy to make the final

The YouGov survey data has consistently shown Louise as the most popular woman by a long, long way. She is twice as popular among men as Laura, and three times more popular among men than Daisy (which surprised me). Louise and Lesley were the only contestants with much popularity among women. With Lesley gone, I expect that Louise will pick up some of that vote.

Sadly, Laura, Daisy and Anastacia are all roughly in the same place with the public according to YouGov. Each of them have been Bottom 2 now so it is hard to see them making the finals from this position.

So... unless something changes the music, Louise is the most popular woman AND she has high judges scores. I would expect to see her in the semi-finals. It still could well be an all-male final though.

I do however wonder if the producers are preparing a 'break through' moment for Claudia and AJ.

That matches the impression I get from reading comments under stories online about each of the women. Laura is pretty unpopular (lots of 'smug' and 'I find her really unlikeable but can't put my finger on why', Daisy seems less disliked but a lot of people suggesting she's not a proper celebrity, whereas Louise had lots of comments saying 'I love her', 'she's such a good mum', 'such a lovely family' etc.. Poor Claudia seems to be pretty much forgotten so I don't really know where she comes in terms of public perception.

Yes.. I think that sums it up. Louise has a lot of positives. And a rather dishy hubby. And Kevin, who is popular.

Claudia doesn't seem to be gaining traction with the public at the moment and, amazingly, doesn't have any votes in the 18-24 age bracket (where Laura does well). Claudia and AJ's vote is the over-50s. AJ is not pushing the boy-band buttons with the viewers at the moment it seems.

Do people really vote for the professional dancer?

Claudia looks like a tiny tiny Queen Mum though, doesn't she? There's something so old-fashioned about her face. I'm not surprised older voters cherish her

I hope the semi-final doesn't have a dance-off so it's the public's choice of who's in the final (especially as it's a three person final now).

Probably if Rinder or Greg does well - it will be three man final...

All of them are boring sadly but it will probably be Louise although I think that it should be Claudia.

I can't believe we'll potentially have a 4th Kevin Clifton final in a row 😑😑😑

Rephrasing out of fairness to the nature of perception.

All of them bore you, which is sad.

'The relative is all', as Hardy said. But he's a clever bugger.

I don't think so. She's really bland, doesn't stand out and is not as good as the judges make it seems. Also a lot of people really loved Aljaz and Abbey partnership , just like with him and Allison. I really don't see that with Daisy.

Why is it sad if that's how I feel like

Other contestants in the competition do not bore me namely the judge, Ed, Danny , Anastasia.....people like and relate to whoever. ...that's it.

Sad for you, I mean... Not to find any of the women pass muster
