I can't see anyone but Rachel being top this week as Vincent will make sure their AT is gorgeous. Lisa will suffer with the Hustle but Tom will be consistant in both dances. I can't see Lisa in any scenario getting through.

Is that confirmed?
That is brave. No doubt Camilla will be to blame if Tom gets knocked out in teh dance off then.

Fortunately none of them are doing the Hustle, they are all doing the AT and a dance they've already done. Lisa is QS, Tom is Jive and Rachel is ??

Isn't Rachel performing her American Smooth?
Latest bookies' odds make Tom & Camilla odds on favourites - is that what they say
8/11. I'm assuming that means you have to put 11p on to win 8p or somesuch
But Austin was bookies' fave last week and look what happened

Tom's my fave and I just want him to avoid a dance off against Rachel as I'm conviced the judges will put her through.

Thats why Saturday is going to be a problem - picking their best dances to do again in the dance off means 2 39s against a 40 if they repeat performance levels. Its could be too tight to make an obviously right decision and its possible it will look obviously wrong given the different dances even if the judges get it right.

The judges will put her through if she dances better, not for any other reason. We must all realize by now that the judges are not out to win popularity contests, they judge the dance on the night regardless of how much they might have liked someone in previous dances. That can only be a good thing at this stage. Whoever has to go it will be hard.

I trust this was said with a little touch of sarcasm
- at the end of the day it seems the judges are all out for a two girl final - regardless of how Tom dances if he is in the "dance off" - methinks he is a certain goner - and I for one would be sad - I think the best final would be Lisa/Brendan against Tom/Camilla - I really don't think there would be any certainty in that coupling and we would get the most MAGNIFICENT show dances that and it would be cool to see the old Brendan and Camilla rivalry
It could also depend on whether the judges want him to get to the final - or, perhaps more accurately, whether they don't.

No I wasn't being sarcastic. It wasn't that long ago that people were saying the judges wanted a boy/girl final (which I think is on the cards), and were marking accordingly! I don't believe they mark or send people home on that basis at all.
On Saturday night Austin danced well - he has always danced well - and got good marks, but the other dancers were slightly better, Lisa was better in the dance off so reluctantly the judges had to send him home.
No-one can predict what will happen on Saturday. It all depends on how the contestants perform on the night - and it will be very exciting whatever happens. They are an excellent final three.
My personal preference would be for a Rachel and Lisa final but I do like Tom. If I vote, my decision will be based on their Saturday night performance and not any personal favouritism (which I don't really have now).

I have to agree with this. I think Craig for one, and possibly Len, would perhaps have preferred Austin to get through on Saturday, but they couldn't really put him through based on what they saw... Unfortunately for Austin, his performance level dipped ever so slightly at the crucial moment, while the girls maintained theirs and Tom slightly upped his game - at least in the ballroom. Had Austin's AS had the 'wow' factor of some of his other dances, I am sure he'd be in the semi-finals.
However, my personal opinion is that the judges have been quite generous to Lisa throughout the series compared to the others - she's wonderful in ballroom hold, and she's improved a lot no doubt, but I don't think as an overall dancer she's in the same class as Rachel or Tom, or even Austin.

Which is why it will be deja vu again this week. I see Tom losing to Lisa. Lisa cannot do latin IMO of course which she will have to do in teh final.
