I think Judge Rinder has the Chris Hollins likeability factor and could end up winning the series and steal it from the current favourites. I wouldn't be surprised.
He's a good dancer, absolutely loves the experience and is funny, can do comedy and serious stuff, could appeal to the oldies due to his old-school charm and to the youngsters through his TV show.
I never liked Chris Hollins but I can understand why he won and it could happen again.

Not convinced. He's fun, but not THAT likeable.

But what do I know. I thought Chris Hollins was a bumptious little prat. Such a fake!

I can see it happening.

Louise and Danny are so reminiscent of Ali and Ricky it wouldn't shock me. 2 standout dancers who made no discernible improvement because they started out at the highest level they could achieve.

Rinder needs another standout dance though. The Cha Cha is long forgotten now.

I'd like him to win, I think he's a lovely dancer and getting better each week.

He's likeable and can dance, I wouldn't be convinced that he's a contender yet but if he can score well and keep improving this week and in blackpool& be taken seriously then he maybe a contender, I don't think he will win but I think he could be in another 3 weeks and possibly hit the Q Final

I like him and would be happy for him to win,

I'd love him to win

If he continues on his improving streak, he could easily win.

I don't want him to though. Even though I like him.

I'd be thrilled if he won.

He is a novice dancer, unlike one or two others, works hard at learning, has charisma and is entertaining. Very good to watch. All winning attributes in my book. Hope he wins.

Yes, and I could be an unlikely Olympic swimmer. I sink.

He improves every week.

I have been saying this for weeks much to my chagrin!

He is as annoying as it gets but his sheer love of dancing could definitely see him through to the Glitterball

Loving the Judge and would be delighted if he won

I love him but I think making it to the semi final, possibly the final, is about his limit.

He's done so well but needs a 'wow' dance now to build momentum.

If he wins it would be deserved.
He's a joy to watch!

I was just thinking they reminded me of Chris and Ola. I'd be happy to see him win. Still got some good dances to come as well, looking forward to seeing him samba/salsa/Charleston.

They've already done the Charleston (Flinstones in movie week)

I met Chris Hollins a couple of years before he went on Strictly and he came across as a really nice guy. He was exactly the same as he was on the show, so I can say that he's not fake.

Wouldn't call him "a joy to watch" but he has certainly come a very long way since that Flintstones Charleston!

Ahh thanks, bad that I forgot... And a shame that they were still just trying to force comedy on him.

Yes, my money is on Rob Rinder to win. He seems the most happy to be on the show and in my book that counts for more than four '10' marks.

I would be so happy if they won. He improves every week, Oksana choreographs great routines for him where he has to dance and he's highlighted. He's also funny and entertaining.

Agreed

No chance but I do like him. He is better than Greg. It's unlikely that anyone will beat Danny.
