I didn't think so either at the start, but it is not out of the realms of possibility. I think Louise could make the final

I have to say I'm quite surprised how seemingly popular Louise is - sweet but ultimately forgettable (to some people, I should stress) ringahs almost never go down well with the public, so she must have come into the show with quite a bit of support as I wouldn't have necessarily said she's done a whole lot to earn it based on what we've seen so far.

As for answering the question: Anastacia's clearly on very borrowed time, as is Laura to a lesser extent (who I reckon will lose to Daisy in a 'shocking' dance-off in the next couple of weeks). But with the other three girls, I honestly think their dance order for the series will be crucial, as they've all got dances that could potentially be fantastic for them:

With Daisy, it's quite difficult to guess as, while she has a lot of elegant Ballroom left which should be fantastic for her (and I also think her Tango's will both be very good), she does have Jive, Salsa and Samba remaining, all of which could be a bit ropey and end up knocking her out at any stage towards the latter weeks. If I had to guess, I'd say 5th/6th is where we're looking right now, which is a shame as she's actually my favourite of the girls this year.

Claudia and Louise, however, both have a lot of high impact dances left that give them scope for a real surge in momentum towards the final. I expect Louise to excel in one of Quickstep/American Smooth/Charleston, though I can't see her having the intensity required for something like a Paso, whereas Claudia I reckon will excel in one of Jive/Quickstep/Paso Doble/Salsa/Argentine Tango. Whoever makes the most impact of the two in the last few weeks will probably be the last girl standing, but I honestly wouldn't be shocked if they both have major breakthroughs and one of them (more likely to be Louise) knocks out a plateauing Ore in a shock semi-final dance-off a la Jake Wood.

It's funny, cos I would've used exactly the words in bold to describe Abbey instead of Daisy.

Don't think so. They're not good enough. The girls are better. There has to be a girl in the final. Could see Greg going out soon if he doesn't improve. I like him but he's not final worthy. Same for Rob too. Entertaining but not good enough for the final

I want Claudia to be the last girl standing but I feel it will be Louise. Laura and Daisy are just not good enough at the moment.

Honestly I think all the women are polling badly compared to the men. Ed and Rinder I am sure are polling better then all the woman at the moment.

Anastasia has been in two bottom two's already, and I can't see her lasting much longer, she also has health concerns.

Same with Laura if she even dances this week, she has been bottom two and with her injury I can't see her doing well enough to last many more weeks.

I like Daisy as a person she seems really nice, but I'm not thrilled with her dancing

That's leaves Louise and Claudia who are both quiet personalities. I have re-watched Claudia's Latin, I do think she can perform. Sadly while Louise is competent I just find her very vanilla on the dance floor.

None of the women really have a decent storyline at them moment. I know that Jay won, but Anita, Georgia, Katie even Kellie had good journeys. last year.

Daisy and Laura are amazing and they are definitely final worthy. That's just your opinion but I think they deserve a place in the final. They never fail to disappoint me

A place in the final over Danny or Ore? Not at the moment they don't. Sorry

Let's see if Laura is too crocked to continue before anything else...

It really is going to be Last Contestant Standing at this rate

I think if Greg can avoid the dance off he could well get into the final. He isn't better than some of the other ladies but he is very popular. If the third is a woman I wouldn't really mind which particularly. I can't see Anastasia getting that far, although if she stay with Gorka his popularity might get her there. I like both Laura and Daisy but not sure if they have enough of a fan base to get them there unfortunately. Louise is also very nice but I do find her forgettable. It's a shame really as all those three ladies are good, nice and working hard but just don't seem to be lighting any fires. Claudia, imo, has the most chance as she and AJ have the youth and cuteness factor and she is improving every week, it gives her a usp over the others.

And I didnt find Abbey bland at all . Funny how we all see things differently

Abbey was fantastic. Loved watching her win and I revelled in the gnashing of teeth on here

I suspect that Claudia will be the last female standing.

BIB YES

Would like it to be Claudia, suspect it will be Louise or possibly Daisy.

Once the likes of Rinder, Ed and Anastacia are gone, their time will be up. Though I can see them saving Daisy over Claudia (assuming Greg has a big Olympic vote).

Me too

I'd love it to be Claudia, but I won't be upset if it is Louise (probably the best female all rounder) or Daisy (I've warmed to her).

Yes, she was a joy to watch with Aljaz; and I have to confess to certain feelings of schadenfreude towards the outraged fans of another contestant, whom they constantly touted as dance perfection.
(One particular poster on here seemed to take it very badly - don't think he/she's got over it yet!)

Natalie was robbed.

I think he might have the "Ooh what a good looking bloke and aww isn't he lovely" vote as well.

Doesn't have to work like that.
If Danny tops the leaderboard and people aren't especially motivated to vote for Ore in a later week, he could easily end up in the dance-off. And there are more people who when the get the right dance could out-perform him if he gets one of his less-suited dances like a Rumble.
You never know. Claudia's partner could discover subtlety. Daisy could discover 'pop'. Louise could discover excitement. Laura could discover... actually who is Laura? Etc.
And if he goes early... it's a personality contest, try to get over it

I don't think, at this moment, that a girl will get to the final.

Laura and Daisy have already hit the non popular wall (unless they do a Flackers, which I doubt they will) and will be out soon. Laura got her bounce back, but doubt she'll get another one. Daisy might get a bounce back, but I'm not sure she will. Maybe we'll get a Daisy v Laura bottom two this or next week. Unless I'm underestimating the popularity of Ed, Rob and Greg, I don't think Laura and Daisy (even if both dance better than them) will surpass them in public votes (but with judges they prob will).

I would like Louise to get at least to the latter stages and think she'll outlast Daisy and Laura, but I think she's suffering from the Ali Bastian/Rachel S Club problem. She's a decent dancer, but people (and I'm being general) are not connecting to the characterisastions in her dances or poss not her personality either, despite her seeming a perfectly nice person. She's not in your face, just quieter so maybe this coupled with her quieter type of dancing isn't helping. She's prob benifiting from high judges scores and Kevin's fans, atm.

I think Claudia might have a chance of getting to at elast quarters, but, and this will sound odd to say, but I think more for the popularity of A.J. than her. She's a decent dancer (at times) but no really good dances yet, imo. Charleston was her best, but I think the music really aided the joy of it.

So, Louise and Claudia may get close to quarters/semis, but miss the final. Ore and Danny surely will both make, I feel as certain about that as I did J getting to the final by a certain point.

I don't think it's got so much to do with popularity. They were in the middle of the leaderboard which is the danger zone. Daisy and Laura are both great dancers and likeable people which encourages people to vote

Yeah, that seems to work, with both of them having appeared in a DO already!

😂😂😂...
