For the final my prediction hasn't changed since week two after seeing the girls perform their first dance.

Austin, Tom and Rachel are consistently good at both Ballroom and Latin. These three will be in the final.

I've maintained all along that anyone over 40 would not win the title. So Chere will reach the quarters and maybe the semis but not the final. Recent performances have simply confirmed this.

Lisa and Jodie will have their good days and dances, but they're simply not as good overall as the three I'm tipping for the final.

As for the others, it doesn't matter when they go out, but it is almost certain that they will, before the final.

I've made my prediction, and it will be interesting to look back at this thread when the competition finishes to see whether we were right or not.

How I currently would like to see them finish

1st Austin & Erin
2nd Lisa & Brendan
3rd Tom & Camilla
4th Jodie & Ian (possibly top 3)
5th Rachel & Vincent (Based on Vincent)
6th Christine & Matthew(would prefer higher but being realistic)
7th Cherie & James
8th Heather & Brian
9th John & Kristina
10th Andrew & Ola

I had completely overlooked this. You're right. In a dance-off I can see the judges saving Cherie over anyone except Austin and maybe Tom.
