I would love Matt to win, but it occurs to me that some might not vote for him to win because Lilia won last year. The last 2 series of Dancing With The Stars in America were won by the same pro.

No, not at all. Matt is not my favourite so there are others I would prefer to win ahead of him, but I would never have that Lilia won previously as a reason not for them to win.

I don't want them to win.

I don't find them exciting in the least.

no it wouldnt bother me at all...

i'd love brendan to win and hes won before...

I'd love it if she won, or even got through to the final. She's such a great choreographer, teacher & all round lovely person that the series just wouldn't be the same without her.

No, because the show's about the celebs not the pros.

I would have loved Anton, Erin, Camilla or Ian to win, because they've all got so close! But sinse they're all out, i don't really mind who wins based on the pros! I think it's marvelous that all the previous winners are still there though!

As much as I don't like Emma, part of me wants the final to be between Darren and Lilia!!

No I absolutely don't want her to win. I find that partnership with Matt Dawson bloody boring. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

I think Lilia's great and so her winning this series wouldn't bother me just because she won the last. However I don't think she should win this series as there are other dancers better than Matt. Would be nice for her to be in the final though, still can't get over Lilia and Aled not making it in Series 2!

No it wouldn't bother me at all. I'd love to see Matt and Lilia win.

I't wouldn't bother me..especially as I'd like Matt to win..I live in hope
Hey Glen..notice you're from my neck of the woods....good ole Bolton

Tell me about it! They're still my favourite Strictly couple!

I think that the fact her and Matt are serious contenders to win is testimony to her ability as a teacher and choreographer.

I would be delighted if she won again this year.

If Matt and Lilia were the best couple then no, it wouldn't bother me. But at the moment I don't think they are so it probably would rankle a bit.

I want them to win... they just have to get through tonight!

I don't think there are many people who don't want Lilia to win on principle, as opposed to not wanting her to win because they don't like Matt. I imagine it's more the other way, she has some people who want her to win again just because they love her from last series.

I was more a Lilia fan than a Matt fan at the start, but I'm totally crazy about Matt and the journey he has had on this show now.

I'm scared they'll leave tonight

I'd love Lilia and Matt to win.

I really want Ian, Camilla and Anton to win too but they can't

Really interesting question - I think it's irrational but for some reason neither Lilia&Matt or Darren&Emma have the same drama for me as the other couples. (I didn't watch series 1 so I don't have the same feeling with Brendan.) I think it's partly the 'they've had their turn' feeling, and partly the comparison - when I see Emma I think she's good but she's not Jill, and Lilia&Matt feel like Darren Gough all over again (My favourite - that got me watching the show - was Lilia and Aled). Please understand - I'm not saying I'm right to feel like this and I'm not criticising anyone, but I think it is a factor, personally. I also think, though, that Lilia is the best teacher of all of them.

I'd love Matt and Lillia to win - Matt's a much better dancer than Darren, but is having a similar 'journey'. I'm scared he'll go tonight, though!

no i wouldn't mind her winning with matt because he deserves it more that darren did last year i don't believe he should of own
matt is a far better dancer than he was so no i don't mind and lilia is good so why not

I like Darren & Lilia, but I don't *love* them. They're very good technically when they dance together, but they don't have that extra something that makes me love them.

I really liked Matt in Celeb Masterchef and have been impressed with him on SCD although he's not my favourite. I adore Lilia, though. She has such wonderul talent as a choreographer, teacher and human being. I could never grudge her a victory.

Are you talking Darren Bennett now?

Yeah, sorry! I was replying to jtnorth's post. Should have quoted really!

no i wont mind if brendan darren or lillia won the title again as long as their partner was the best and desreved to win
