Agree with all of this

Unfortunately OP we need a new thread.

Judges haven't got anything to do with this. Simple maths shows you that the public definitely didn't vote like this. Danny was probably last and Louise probably top.

Ore & Joanne

Of course the judges voting counts otherwise why bother with them? If they had voted Claudia higher she could have been saved.

This poll shows the public opinion on here. This does not match the public vote we had tonight in the slightest. That was my point.

All 3 finalists are really good. I've voted for Louise all the way through, because I like her. Her semi wasn't the best. She had crap costumes, crap music and compared to Danny who had two showy dances (lifts in both). The fact Louise got through without the dance off bodes well for her chances next week.
Good luck to each of them though!

Would be interesting to see where Claudia's votes might go...

Voted for Ore and Jo but very close with Louise and Kevin, I know she wasn't at her best yesterday but I have loved some of her dances in previous weeks and I do find her lovely and genuine.

If Ore does a Tom Chambers vs Danny doing a Bacofoil, then I could just about see myself voting for Ore, but I've re-watched more of Danny's dances so far than Ore's, so it's more likely I'll be voting D'Oti than OJo.

Chances of me voting for Louise- nil. Really wanted Claudia in the final...

Ore.

I know Danny has more artistic and technical merit. I know Louise is lovely and has hardly put a foot wrong but Ore is the one who moves me. He has the emotion and the charisma. And that gets me more than the other things

I just want it to frigging end so we can get Eggheads back on a Friday.

..........and mine. It's more now about who I don't want to win (no names) rather than who I do. The final has been spoiled for me.

Danny I suspect and hope.

Really??

Is that on account of Claudia not being able to exercise her 'God-given right' to be in the Final??

As opposed to Ore you mean who thought he was better than he was and often said so.

Danny and Oti, they are the most consistent and have had the best dances overall. I think I like Oti more than Danny though.

Louise is a good dancer and a nice person, but does not have the wow factor at all.

Ore is very good for someone with no dance background, but I can't take to him and really dislike the crying and the gurning to camera during the routine.

I really would have preferred Claudia to Louise in the final, she really improved over the series.

Me too. Going to vote for Danny now that Claudia is out.

I split my votes between Danny and Claudia but this weekend thought Claudia needed them and assumed Danny was safe - won't make that mistake again.

All my votes going to Danny.

No! Why on earth would you think that?

This ^^^

Now that Claudia and AJ are gone, all my votes go to

Danny and Oti

My favourite celeb this year was Daisy, I thought she had tons of potential and could have won, but I don't think she committed enough to go through to the semis and the final and so had to go !
Of the remaining dancers, Louise is my favourite celeb, and Joanne is my favourite professional. For a while, I thought Danny should win, but I'm actually undecided. A floating voter no less !

Meg

Yes, they're not going to have that first elimination because there's only three of them. I'd like four in the final but I hate seeing one couple all dressed up with nowhere to go so prefer the idea of a single show. They won't drag it out as much.

One show is so much better it keeps everyone interested. As they are all doing three dances I would expect an 'interval' between their first two dances and final dance. A good time to bring back all the other celebs.

I hope everyone who ticked Danny to win in this poll will be voting for him on Saturday!
