The polls are certainly not fool proof but they do predict trends in voting. The most accurate one of all is Vote#1 and in their couple rankings percentage-wise they have been on the money each week.

So this week as this morning it was Shawn in the lead, Gilles second, Melissa a distant third and Ty 3 percentage points behind Melissa. So if that poll is accurate depending on what happens tonight Melissa and Ty should be in the bottom 2 with Ty leaving.

For most popular male celebrity Gilles is at 30% and Ty is at 60% however Ty is last of the favorite couple polls which to me is saying people like him but he is the worst dancer, so very accurate. Shawn is the most popular female at 60% and Melissa is at 30%. Melissa is predicted to be the first one go of the top 3 so if you believe the polls it will be a Shawn and Gilles finale.

On the ABC boards there is a lot of resentment of Melissa's dance experience and coming onto the show from the Bachelor so while she has group of die-hard fans she also has her anti-fans too.

Interesting! So depending on how well they do tonight, it could be Melissa and Ty in the bottom two and if Ty's cowboy army really get behind him with the voting, then Melissa could be going out! I shall watch with interest...

And to think at the beginning of this series I thought people were actually voting on the dancing!!!!!! Should have known better of course. Shawn and Ty final? Sorry but that will be really naff. Not a thimble full of personality between the 2 of 'em.

Melissa and Tony - 1
Gilles and Cheryl - 2

Shawn and Mark - 3
Ty and Chelsea out tonight.

Well, that's how I see it, but the way it is going it seems perhaps the I should turn the list upside down!!

Shawn and Ty final?
No, if the polls are to be believed it would Shawn and Gilles final.

Shawn has ranked the highest on all the polls since the beginning of the season. TV guide released their poll (I will get the link) and Shawn had 69% of the vote. However, that poll is not as reliable as vote#1. I have a feeling that the teenagers of America and their mothers are voting for her.

Gilles is very popular with the ladies and he works his fanbase - very attentive to them. If you email him he will personally answer. It could make a girl swoon.

I noticed that when Melissa was unable to dance that week her numbers on vote #1 shot way up but then came back down by the end of the week. She was in 1st place, then second place, then back to down to third.

I know not to completely rely on the polls but I'd say if someone like Shawn went out that would truly be the shock of the season. And it would completely crush the credibility of any of the polls.

I have no idea who's going out tonight. I'm guessing that Gilles will be safe, but it could be any one out of Shawn, Melissa and Ty. I'm hoping Melissa goes, purely because I have a soft spot for Ty (I think he's improved the most- those Samba rolls were brill!) and Shawn (because she was the only one I knew before it started!). Having said that, I think Melissa's quickstep was the dance of the night and underscored. Her cha cha on the other hand...!

Can someone tell me how to do spoiler tags. I would like to put the final results in from Vote #1 but wanted them in spoiler tags and could not figure it out.

Alternatively if anyone is interested google "vote number 1 dancing with the stars" and click on forum and it has the votes broken by percentages and who is predicted to go home. For some reason the link does not work. Anything could happen though.

Use "Add Reply" (as opposed to quick reply) and if you look along the symbols at the top - starting with the B for bold - and the very end of the line is an "S". (It's very faint so easily missed if you're not looking for it).

Click on this "S" to use Spoiler.

For those of you who watch the clips results or the show when it is aired, as you know they are auditioning for a new pro next year.

This time they have to choreograph a dance with one of the current pros. I would love to hear ya'all's opinions on Anna's quickstep with Maks.

I didn't realise that Shawn is actually Mark Ballas' girlfriend? I'd have thought she was a bit young for him.

Ohhh where did that come from? If it's true he certainly seems to make it a habit (sabrina before).
