Wow. Everyone's a Scrooge on this thread!

Me too!!!!!! Totally agree.....will be a shambles if they are not the final three!!!

Danny

OMG Claudia was part of world championship bronze in team competition... and she could potentially medal on floor... and she is the current british all.around champion... I believe that is quite good record considering the british history in gymnastics.

Also meant to say.....Danny to win!!!!

It was sarcasm

Louise. Her dances leave me feeling cold and I get little enjoyment out of watching them. All the other four have brought smiles to my face at least once.

Louise & Kevin is the couple I least look forward to watching so it would be them.

I voted Danny as he has been as good as he is now since the very beginning and is the worst sort of 'ringer' that people talk about. I don't dislike him and don't resent him nor Louise who is similar in my eyes. Louise being in the competition having been a judge on So You Think You Can Dance is a bit much but to be fair she hasn't danced much for a long time and you can at least see her confidence growing etc.

My ideal final would be the Judge, Ore and Claudia

Voted for Claudia and AJ because I don't actually enjoy watching them dance, low entertainment value for me, and SCD is a balance between technique and entertainment !

I am surprised that Louise has polled the highest, could this be due to the fact that she is the only one left who can challenge Danny and Oti ?


Meg

Louise because she's overmarked by the judges.

Me too.

Lol no Liuise is just over rated by the judges.... basic technique average entertainment value... then she keeps on getting 10s... compare to Claudia who always up here dance difficulty and the judges ignoring her effort.

I have never seen a celebrity less smug than Danny, even though he has every reason to be.

To me, the smug one is Ore, with his false humility and tears.

I agree with what you wrote about Danny.

It's all about individual perception

It is ! 😉 For me I put Danny because he had a main role in Les miserables at age 9 he's been understudy and dancing in the chorus of at least one west end musical and I saw him sing and dance at leicester Haymarket last spring ! Hes also been voted sexiest male in soaps and sexiest male overall ! That's the appeal !

British gymnastics is in great shape ! Claudia has to study dance from a young age to do floor routines ! Her height puts her at a disadvantage with a larger!
Louise I thought I'd like but for whatever reason there's no spark !
They're boosting her up to try and make it a competition with Danny !
I'm only watching now for Rob Rinder who is at a disadvantage with work commitments!
After that may not watch but that only leaves one pair after Rob I'd like to win!

If you read the dancers thread you would see that many actually think Louise has very good technique rather than basic. Her performance levels need work for sure but she is the best female left in terms of dance.

Claudia is lovely but lacks elegance and is a little lumpen but great at gymnastics so I don't blame her and AJ for going with the gymnastic route.But the judges will get fed up if it's overdone.

Really?
He doesn't float my boat at all - just goes to reinforce that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

Robert & Oksana - particularly after witnessing his petulant reactions on being giving negative comments for his rumba.

He looked absolutely (and unnecessarily) crushed.

No, she just bores me to tears, and Kevin's personality is like nails on a chalkboard for me. That's a bad combination.

I couldn't bear the thought of Louise winning - imagine Kevin jumping up and down shouting "yes!" a thousand times, then telling Louise she is awesome a thousand times whilst forcing her to give him repeated first pumps, all the while Louise will stand there looking so meek and awkward you cant help but wonder why she went into a reality TV show in the first place!

I do wonder at times why she agreed to do Strictly as she seems so reserved and worried about embarrassing herself/husband/children. On ITT Kevin said he wants her to shout "Yee Ha" during the dance this week and she's got a problem with that!

I think this is one of the reasons she isn't connecting with the audience and why Ed Balls was so popular. He completely threw himself in to it and wasn't in the least bit inhibited. He was previously Shadow Home Secretary and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer so came from a far more serious background than Louise who was in a girl band many years ago and has posed scantily clad in many pictures so she isn't some retiring wallflower.

He is handsome but I prefer Greg, tall, ginger and gorgeous. It's such a shame he couldn't dance very well.

Agree with both the above posts!

I can see that Danny is handsome but he's *too* handsome somehow. Overly handsome men just make me laugh. I don't know why

Greg is just lovely though.
