Vote Vote Vote for Mark & Karen a million times lol.

Don't stop until your fingers bleed from dialing the number lol.

MARK & KAREN TO WIN!!!

Uh huh.........................................

I shall be voting!

are you a mind reader i was just the exact same thing!

i'll be voting as much as my mum allows
hope i can get through, not like this sat the lines were busy all the time i only managed get through 4 times!

Yes please VOTE, with so many dances it will become very difficult for Mark , as it's time that he needs to nail a dance.
And that's exacty what he doesn't has this week.

VOTE

What does this mean?

I've been watching X-F but I'm enchanted by Mark and Karen and have been watching them faithfully on youtube... I shall be voting.

Excellent! Welcome to Karen and Mark madness!

MARK AND KAREN TO WIN!!! I'll definitely vote hundreds of times!!!LOL

He doesn't have much to nail so many dances.
So it's TIME he doesn't has. Sorry

One last push for Mark and Karen.

I get the impression that Matt gets quite a large proportion of votes as it were.

I am now worried that Darren Bennett fans would vote in support of his wife Lilia.

So this may be the week that Mark and Karen will really need our votes.

Vote! Vote! Vote!

With them so far ahead in the poll here and on the main BBC site im worried they may lose out to voting complacency.

"i dont need to vote they have loads of fans who will anyway"

This is what would lose them the final, its a straight fight for votes now, judges scores are irrelevant on the night.

Every Mark and Karen fan must keep voting like crazy, please

Am faithfully voting every night on the landline and am going to top up mobile for extra votes- have had a nightmare getting through extra votes on a saturday night!

Voting.....

I think most people vote for the celebs though, its only a small amount that doesnt. I can imagine Emma fans being annoyed that Matt is still in instead of Emma so not voting for Matt

I think us Maren fans talk to much on this 'ere bloomin' forum - though I s'pose it only takes one finger to press the redial button !

I keep muttering 'God, I can't wait for this weekend, I can't wait for this weekend' and all my workmates seem to think I'm looking forward to Christmas! (?Its Christmas this weekend?? Sh*t what am I doing on the computer I need to go buy pressies )

I'm really worried by the prevalent belief that Matt always get the most public votes coz if it works out this way on Saturday he'll win even if Mark gets tops with the judges, in a draw don't they go with the one who got most public votes??

Judges Public Total
Mark 2 1 3
Matt 1 2 3


Keeeeeeep voting!

What we don't know is which of the boys had the higher votes last week. The bottom two of Emma and Matt would have been the case if Matt had come top or second in the public vote.

So, absolutely, keep voting......

I know I worry that people vote for Matt because of the underdog thing, ie he started off so badly. So many people have said that. Especially after Mark and Karen's AT on Saturday, it was so brilliant and they may see Matt as more of an underdog when really he isn't anymore in ballroom.

Also I know people say Mark looks great and expect people to vote for that reason so maybe they don't bother. But I don't think that is as important a factor as having a tv persona which, because of Matt's experience on QOS, he does come across well on tv. Mark being more reserved comes over great in training but not as relaxed as Matt in the banter in interviews. And people vote for that. I mean I love Matt on QOS too, it's great fun and has a big following. I'm not blown away by his dancing like I am with Marks that's all but he is good too.

What I guess I'm saying is the same thing, if you want Mark and Karen to win vote!!

So, are there any members of your family/circle of friends who haven't voted yet? There are? How can this be?? I want everyone on this thread to get at least two votes from family/friends/work colleagues/strangers on the train. I know we may all be feeling a bit of voting fatigue at this stage but come on, stamina is what our man is all about (tee, hee) we can't fail him now.

What could we do to entice them to vote? Sit them in front of recordings of the AT with their eyelids taped open a la Clockwork Orange? Trade favours for votes - ie breakfast in bed = 10 votes, doing the washing up for your mum = 5 votes, any other 'favour' of your choice = 20 votes (you may need to get them to vote first tho' ). The votes only cost 25p, buy someone a pint and they ask them to put in 8-10 votes. And after all it is for 'charidee'.

(Sorry, if I'm starting to sound a leetle bit crazed, its probably coz I am )

OK so far I've voted 5 times, my friend Luca after last night voted 8, me mum asked for two votes, me sister voted thrice, my best mate voted acouple times and we put on vote in from me dog ...

GO MARK!!!

LOL (((Kaos))) Good going.

Am on the the case Suzeie! Have two people in the office who thought Maren deserved to win but weren't bothered about voting They are now.

Well I'm doing one of my patented cross border runs tonight so I should be able to throw in a few votes. (I live in the Republic of Ireland therefore no voting but if I pop across Northern Ireland border I can, the things I do for these people! )

I will be driving my OH to his Christmas party so I will prime him to wring some votes out of his colleagues - or failing that steal their phones when they're drunk and vote anyway

Keeeeep voting!

I get to visit everyone's office in our building in the guise of "tech support". All their phones seemed to have voted for M&K rather a lot

I shall be running a ' How to make me not kiss you' booth. Where I will not kiss people who vote for Mark. Otherwise--

STRANGE...... Very well done

That's brillliant! Cross border runs take on a new meaning in 21st century Ireland thankfully I'm living in Dublin so a cross border run would be kind of awkward. I'd love to be able to vote for them though. The last time I voted for anyone in one of these types of programmes was for Eugene in Big Brother.
