Why should they change the voting system after six series just because some people think Tom deserved to go regardless of the public vote? If they did that we could have avoided the whole John Sergeant fiasco by just letting the judges decide who goes.

Do you have links to these polls? It would be interesting to compare.

Sorry Shappy, know you didn't ask me but here are some links (copied from R+V appreciation thread)!

Thanks ellie - I was too busy bidding on ebay so only just noticed Shappy`s request

Thanks!

Rachel is ahead on the gmtv poll. They are neck and neck on the utopian one, and it appeared to me Tom is ahead on the yahoo one? I couldn't get the 2nd link to work.

Rachel and Vincent. Fantastic couple. I like Tom and Camilla as well, although they are not as good as Rachel and Vincent. I would be happy to see Rachel or Tom win. Lisa on the other hand I cannot stand. I think she's very fake. Talented dancer though, but would not like to see her get into the final 2.

I'm not much of a fan of any of them.

However, if I place my emphasis on the STRICTLY part of strictly come dancing (i.e. the idea of taking someone who can't dance and teaching them to dance) then Lisa would have to get my vote.

She's the one who has improved the most: Tom and Rachel were both exceptionally good from the word go - Rachel's still good and Tom appears to have got worse!

Plus - and I know it's not a personality contest BUT - Rachel is as dull as hell and Tom just comes across as smug.

And I can't stand Camilla.

Think 2nd one doesn't work because I just copied and pasted.... The link works in the R+V appreciation thread if you wanted to see the poll...... I think Tom is ahead again in the other one as well.

The yahoo one is cumulative from the start Rachel is on 14% and Tom 16% but some of those votes are 3 months old.

There's another very odd yahoo poll running from dec 3 which thinks there are 2 Toms (presume one was Austin)

There's also one on

The message is the same - close between Rachel and Tom.........

Every Tom fan then though ought to have voted to put the weaker one of the two girls into the dance off - which of course would be unfair to that girl. There was no good way out - what they needed was a rule how the tie could be broken - askthe judges, count past marks or something.

Lisa and Brendan to win!!

Exept they did change the voting system - There never used to be a dance off.

Ironically, if they hadn't changed the system Tom would have actually stoof a chance of staying in, had he got the most audience votes.........

Tom and Camilla!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Rachel & Vincent would win if the voters voted for the best dance pair, but if the public vote for the most improved ones they would go for Lisa & Brendan but if they want a Feller to win then of course they will vote for Tom & Camilla.

But as the Public is a unknown facter then it is anyones guess, but the Judges do give marks but I can't see that changing anything much.

But it's sure going to be a great night anyway.

Tom and Camilla

Rachel and Vincent for defs

Failing that Tom and Camilla...just NOT Brendan
Sad for lisa cos I do like her but PLEASE NO BRENDAN!!

Rachel & Vincent

I love Tom but I do think that Rachel and Vincent deserve it more.

Lol well I don't like Lisa since this show and Brendan is not my favorite dancer as well. so I agree.

Rachel - by a mile!

Lisa and Brendan

The majority got it right.
