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!

AJ for me.

Unlike Danny and Louise, Claudia has come from a non-entertainment background (i.e. not stage schooled) - as many people on these forums are aware, Danny has spent a lot of time performing in West End shows and Louise has judged on other dancing shows, thereby they had some dancing ability albeit possibly not from ballroom/latin, whereas both Claudia and Ore are dancing from scratch.

However, I am not a fan of Joanne which is why I don't want Ore to win even though he is a good dancer.

AJ for me. He's had the toughest job of all 4 because he has to teach Claudia the complete opposite of her day job. She's been my favourite from the beginning and become a brilliant dancer. Danny and Louise both had dance ability before. Ore not sure about but would be my second choice. I'm hoping for a Danny and Louise dance off but I can't see that happening as they must be getting a lot of public votes as they've never been in the dance off.

Although I have my choice of winner, I think that all of the pros deserve to win. They have all work hard to bring their celebrity to this point. Despite each of the celebrities having some kind of ace to help with trainining, they have had to teach them the basics of Ballroom and Latin while creating great routines.

"complete opposite to her day job".
How come most gymnasts win SCD/DWTS when they are on?
The only challenge AJ has had is the height.

Yeah I'm wondering why they're playing Claudia's profession as a hindrance to her learning to dance latin and ballroom. She can do all those flips and lifts which are crowd pleasers and plenty of dancers also do gymnastics.

Interesting asking which pro to win, as that gets a different response from me (Oti) rather than which celeb to win (claudia- simply because I don't like 'ringas')

I agree.

Even if she was a crap dancer, AJ could just chuck lifts in and everyone will be like "wow"!

Surely as a professional gymnast Claudia is a ringer (hate that term on here!) though? Gymastic floor routines are done to music and all her gymnastic training will give her strength and flexibility - a head start in ballroom dance.

Ore is the one with the least experience, surely?

Where each viewer draws the line at who is a ringer and who isn't is certainly a subjective thing. But surely you can't say someone does a routine to music hence is a ringer??

Some people believe Claudia's gymnastics is to an extent a hindrance as she has to do the opposite of dancing ie be very stiff and restrained in the body. Gymnasts tend to do well on strictly because they are naturally well coordinated BUT ALSO because they start at a low level so have to go through a journey to become good dancers.

From everything I've read on here arguing who has most/least dance experience, I would agree with that. Ore is sporting and has studied sports science but Claudia has the advantage I think.

Ooh that caught me off guard! I voted for AJ as I have loved this partnership more & more and last week's was so much fun. But Oti is fab at choreography, think Danny & Oti will win.

ETA: No matter who has the most dancing experience, I am going for who I enjoy watching the most. So my final 3 would have been:
Ed Balls
Danny
Claudia

Shame there wasn't a 'Don't mind' or 'Don't care' option.
It's all about the celebrities for me.
