Oti for her brilliant choreography, but part of me just wants to see the forum meltdown if Kevin wins....

Oti... best choreographer this year
Yes, and it is always interesting choreography.

In defence of AJ, he has done a really good job with Claudia, she's become a really good dancer and improving all the time. He seems really positive and reassuring, really supporting Claudia. It's a really steep learning curve for him, I would guess he hasn't had to choreograph for too many people in the past and so it has taken him a little time to understand what works for her. I have really enjoyed some of his routines- I loved the VW they did.

I'll forgive the posturing and posing, he's still young and will grow out of it- I just find it amusing. I just remember what I was like as his age!

I think the whole vain thing whilst may be true; he still pokes fun at himself for being vain and also for looking young and seems to have embraced the whole experience. Had he taken himself too seriously then I would agree with some of the detractors; but he is able to send himself up and couple that with the fact he has produced some great choregrapgy for Claudia and has pushed her (alot more than other pros who actually have a ringer) - I think he's doing amazingly well given its his first year and he is young compared to many other pros.

Had he actually be as bad as people made out... or indeed some are making out then Claudia would never have made it to the final 4 let alone be challenging for a finalist spot.

I love Oti, she's a fabulous choreographer and I would like to see her win. Sadly she will take the smug Danny with her. I wonder how Oti would have fared with a celebrity with less training, say Judge Rinder? I hope she gets a beginner next series.

Oti - I think she's been absolutely fabulous this series, she and Danny have a brilliant partnership and I love watching her dance.

My second choice would be Jo - I could watch her dance ballroom all day and I think she's done a great job with Ore and they seem to have a very genuine friendship.

Kevin. I feel like he always does a great job with his celeb partners. He deserves a win!

The forum would be an absolute NIGHTMARE if he did win though. Or if Joanne won. I'd like to see Joanne win in another series. I think she's done a great job with Ore and has proven herself as a teacher and choreographer (dodgy tango aside although the actual tango bits were great!)

There is nothing smug about Danny, he is a very modest young man, and always the first to praise Oti for getting him as far as he has got in this series.

Absolutely. I thought he would be (I judged him on his face and heartthrob status) but have been very pleasantly surprised. I thought we'd be in Mark Wright/Peter Andre territory.
He and Oti are very natural .. I'm enjoying them enormously.

Pah to the forum.

I think Kevin's done a great job with a middle aged mum who had somewhat lost her confidence. The way she was able to take centre stage last week was a joy to see.

Ore and Jo make an excellent partnership and his joy in the whole experience is plain to see. For a complete novice he's done well.

I don't really align with any particular pro. I just want the most deserving celeb to win.

However since we are being asked to select a pro I voted for Kevin since I would quite like to see the forum implode.......

...but I will vote for the celeb I most enjoy watching in the final, who I expect to be Danny, but then you never know...........

I think he's lovely. In fact all four of them seem really nice people. I wouldn't mind any of them winning... it's a shame they can't all go through to the final.

Agreed. How can anyone find him smug!

I am personally rooting for AJ to win. I think he comes across thoroughly nice and has produced some great choreography. He is always happy and I think he is a great role model for youngsters. I think him and Claudia are a good partnership.

I'm a bit hit and miss with Oti, whilst she is a great choregrapher I do find she has a face like thunder sometimes on tv, so makes me think she could be a sore loser! It's not a trait I like in people. I think her and Danny are very good but I can't warm to him. He's good and he certainly knows it!

I think all 4 are very good dancers at the end the day but the judges will engineer it so that Danny and Louise are in the final. I like Ore and think he be the third one in the final as I think they have it in for AJ and Claudia.

We all see different things I guess. I don't find Danny at all smug even though I expected to (Ore however is a different matter) and I find Oti very sunny and happy. I've never ever seen her with a face like thunder, I've seen her emotional but she's always such a positive person.
When I think of 'faces like thunder' I can only think of Karen and Jo when the final results came in last year Also Ola from time to time.

Slightly different question; but which of the 4 remaining pros do you want to win?

Do you want Kevin to finally get a win after 3 previous attempts and final appearances?

Do you want Oti to seal a victory in her 2nd year after a false start with Anthony last year?

Should Joanne claim a victory at her second attempt after her comedy run with Scott a couple of years ago?

Or do you want first time Strictly Pro AJ to claim a victory in his first year?
good question, I think Kevin deserves to win after getting his three previous partners to the final ...... but ..... I've enjoyed watching Danny dance more than Louise, so I really can't choose between them

also, AJ and Joanne have done well to get their "beginner" celebrities to the semi final and I like all the four remaining pro dancers so I wouldn't mind too much who wins this year

AJ has had an enormous amount of support behind the scenes in his choreography this year so he doesn't feel to me like the best pro in the final four. His time may come.

Both Oti and Kevin have absolutely made the most of their celebrity so I would be happy with either of them as 'Best Pro'.

I have to take a point off Jo for the bizarre fireman's themed Cha Cha Cha and the even more bizarre Charleston.

This is not at all the same as which celebrity I want to win
