No I can put up with that though , if they didn't all feel so * manipulated* ....

At least we know it's manipulated, there's no fooling us!

Very true

After the 1st elimination, the remaining 3 couples will perform their favourite dance.

(Judges Choice to be revealed on Saturday evening)

Looking forward to it... Caroline was on R2 this morning...  she laughs a lot - I'm warming to her as a person now as well as loving her dancing.

She's won me over, Kaffs.

Looking at the dances above, I think Kevin from Grimsby has definitely channelled the crowd-friendly music.  I don't like Mark and Karen's choice for the showdance at all 

Anyone else heard the rumours of Kristina & Simon's romance? 

yep and TBH I thought that was the reason she was so tense in the results show - have never noticed her quite so emotional before about getting through - she normally smiles her way through the results

I have also read in several places this week about the apparent leader board fix and the need to get Pixie and jake out as they arnt doing the tour  all the other finalists are except Pasha ,  Caroline is but partnering one of the newbies 

Rachel hasnt been to live shows to support Pasha as she isnt coping with seeing him dance with someone else 

Caroline and Pasha for me too 

I wouldnt mind Kristina & Simon but as much as I like Mark and Frankie I couldnt cope with the drama of Karen or Kevin winning 

The tour rumour happens every year though, doesn't it 

I keep seeing that Caroline is favourite to win (which automatically is the kiss of death as far as I'm concerned).  I reckon the real favourites are Frankie and Kevin....his choice of music is so obviously aimed as a crowd pleaser.

Not that I blame him - but I really don't want them to win 

Evening all.

*Props self at the bar*

It's THE FINAL..! 

Hi Cosi.

Evening ladies and gents

Hi All

I am here, but mmmmm, not particularly looking forward to it as I have some reservations over the finalists.

But I shall be backing Caroline for my aforementioned reasons.

Evening Baz.

Caroline's knicked the bacofoil   

It's not too close to call at all, the girls are miles better than the two blokes in this final.

*Joins Cosi*

It's THE FINAL..! 

Ready for a good roasting.

Nevermind all that - it's the season of Panto! You can boo and hiss 

Hi EC & Baz  

Evening all 

Ditto.....except I think I will back non dancer Mark .....but I think he will probably  be the first one out  

I think Caroline has it in the bag - unfortunately!

Stay classy, Vids 

Hello, and hi Fluffy  

That beard does not suit Craig.

*wonders who's on the bell*

It's THE FINAL!!!!

Whereas I think it's Frankie's to lose.

evening 

I would have gone that way too Baz, but I think this final is between Caroline and the Sunday Girl.

At least the music matched the dance

That was good.

Simples innit.  Chose a party friendly dance, ditto music.  

Go for the cute angle and you'll have the biddies voting like billy-o 

Kaffs  

I was just thinking it looked quite good!

If it has to be one of the girls, I'd prefer Frankie.

I'm sure you're right EC....but you know I'm a rebel  

Same here ....

'twas good.. but I want Caroline to win.
