Really fed up that we are once again stuck with a boring and anticlimactic two-way final simply because the judges found being civil too difficult. The standard is really high and Austin, Rachel and Tom all deserve to compete in the final. As it is, I think Tom and Austin are the best and would be my preferred choices.
Rachel vs Tom. I think Austin is overrated - his Latin sucks, whereas Tom can turn his hand to anything.

From the most entertaining final point of view I would say Austin and Christine.
Because we all know its the public vote that decides it and we want it to be close
PS I dont think these are the best two dancers BTW
OHHH YEAH

Agreed, Anna. I don't think I'd even watch a final with Austin in it. Face like a bucket of frogs.

Well Christmas is the time for miracles . . .
In a dream world I'd remove the public vote and judges' fave elements and have Tom vs Lisa, in a full-on 'dance to the death' duel

That 3 way would have been my choice as well, and would have been the best final since series 3 for unpredictability. All of them deserve to be there.
For sheer pleasure of being able to compare like with like, I would prefer 2 men celebs or 2 women celebs and of the two I would prefer the men as I think they are more evenly matched.
Lisa v Austin! I would love to see Brendan and Erin's showdances, I think they would be amazing! Please not Tom v Austin, my god that would be such a boring and predictable final. If it was still a 3 person final I'd add Rachel to the mix!
Austin V Tom would probably be the most exciting as i really dont know what way it would go. IT wouldnt be as predictable as the last males final (mark v Matt).
I do like all 3 women too though so dont really care who makes i just think if it was Rachel or Christine against one of the lads we would all know the outcome.

last year there was a thread like this and im pritty sure Gethin V Alesha was the most popular choice.
Looks like this year its Austin V Tom, but i dont think this will happen thanks to the dance off in the semi finals.

Tom vs Austin - agree would be difficult to predict outcome.
Tom is my favourite but Austin is so witty and wonderful it wouldn't hurt quite so much if he won over Tom as if, say, Rachel beat Tom.

So > 90% want a final featuring either Tom or Austin or both....or, put another way, < 10% want an all-female final.
