May not really be the right people for this, but is anyone else here watching this show?
I have watched all of the past series of this and this years looks like it is going to be a very strong competition. All the stars are looking better this year with no one looking terrible like there have been in previous years with people like David Dickinson or Quentin Willson!
I like the way they have changed the voting too with the bottom two being decided by the judges now. I think this will help the stronger ones who maybe are not as popular with the public get through.
This years couples are
Celebrity / Professional Stephanie / Beacham Vincent Simone Kelly Brook / Brendan Cole Letitia Dean / Darren Bennett Alesha Dixon / Matthew Cutler Kate Garraway / Anton du Beke Penny Lancaster / Ian Waite Gabby Logan / James Jordan John Barnes / Nicole Cutler Brian Capron / Karen Hardy Matt Di Angelo / Flavia Cacace Gethin Jones / Camilla Dallerup Kenny Logan / Ola Jordan Dominic Littlewood / Lilia Kopylova Willie Thorne / Erin Boag
The first couple out are Brian Capron / Karen Hardy
theres something about Kate Garraway lol maybe i shouldnt admit that on here. lol
didnt see it saturday as was at football. is it still got the same appeal as it had when it first started or people starting to think its being overdone?
Kelly Brook shes a local girl being from just down the road from me (in Rochester) Also intresting note she dated one of my mates (When they were at school) who dumped her being a bunny boiler (D'Oh!). ALso, we chatted at the premiere for Three along with Billy boy.

Brian Capron / Karen Hardy Stephanie Beacham / Vincent Simone Willie Thorne / Erin Boag ????? who this week?
It's got to be Kate Garraway / Anton du Beke and Kenny Logan / Ola Jordan in the bottom two this week.
Hope John Barnes or Dominic Littlewood wins the show, both very fun and good guys.The show is actually quite entertaining and Brucie is as always great ^^.I love Bruce Forsythe ^^.

According to polls Ive seen she is about 3rd when people are asked to name a fave, but she is also the most actively disliked by a long way. She is a love it/hate it kinda thing...like Marmite.
I think it will be Matt, Alesha and Kelly in the final...Matt will probably win...he has the looks to melt womens hearts, is in a famous programme, and has the story of starting off medicore then suddenly getting good and loving dancing. For me, Id pick Alesha every time...fantastic dancer, best looking lass on the show, fun, genuine personality. Kelly is a good dancer and most men seem to fancy her, whichbis enough to make the final three but not win it.
Matt and Penny in the bottom two and Penny has gone.
Neither couple deserved to be in the bottom 2 this week, but they complain about the public votes saying it should be about the dancing, yet they open the phone lines for next weeks show straight after tonights results show ends. So people are going to be voting all week for their favourite based on previous weeks or just popularity rather than next weeks dances.

Gethin is definitely a rising star...and with Matt shockingly being in the bottom 2 might have a chance of winning the whole thing. The thing is almost all the competitors are weak in one of Latin or Ballroom, which means their results go wildly up and down...perhaps only Alesha and Kelly are all-rounders so far...
Again loved Alesha this week, she was hard done by to be 4th.

She tried to carry on but found it too difficult and no one can blame her for that.
There will now only be two couples in the final instead of three because of Kelly leaving.
I would say Alesha is easily favourite to win now and I think Gethin will be joining her in the final.
I think this weekend will see Letitia and Kenny in the bottom two and the judges put Kenny out. Letitia to go next week and Matt the week after.

Race regretfully often plays a part in UK reality shows, otherwise I think Alesha would be a near certainty. So many times down the years, particularly with black contestants, they have made 'shock' exits in reality and talent shows. Only a small section of the audience is prejudiced but enough to make it that much harder. Alesha can win, but she isnt a cert...
Gethin at about 4/1 in the betting is a value bet, he has the looks, the Welsh vote, the kids vote, and has consistently improved. But I want Alesha all the way.
Well it is going to be either Matt or Letitia out this week. Although Matt has a much lower score from the judges I think he may get the sympathy vote.
It is clear it is going to be a Gethin vs Alesha final.
I actually think Gethin has a good chance of winning, he beat Aleshia this week on the judges vote and I think that was well deserved. He has improved so much and is also very hot! I think he has taken the female vote from Matt as he has mine!
I was shocked to see Alesha in the dance off, maybe it was because people voted for Matt with teh sympathy vote and forgot about Alesha because she always does so well?
There was only one loser with Alesha and Letitia in the dance off so it was no surprise when Alesha won the dance off.
I still think it will be a Gethin and Alesha final, based on Matt's performance the nerves are getting to him and the other two are just better dancers unless us public do something silly and put Gethin and Alesha in the dance off. But maybe people seeing Alesha in the dance off this time will make people think about their votes next week.

Dam it, I just realised if next week is the semi final I will be away for the final and miss it!
The fair final is Alesha/Gethin, but Matt could be the spanner in the works. He is in a win-win situation.
A good performance would see the votes flood in for him, as he will have conquered his nerves...a bad performance and votes will flood in out of sympathy.
The nightmare scenario is a Alesha/Gethin dance off, with Alesha going...
I feel sorry for Alesha because people take her brilliance for granted. Plus, frankly her skin colour, in a UK reality show is a disadvantage, as there are a lot of prejudiced idiots out there.
I really wanted letitia to get to the final,not the most talented but she gave everything and she did a fantastic job to get to the final,plus i think she is really rather cute ;).But Alesha is going to win this show i think.
I recorded the final. I totally agree with GLOWlad, Alesha deserved to win the competition right from the start. She was the best from the beginning but didn't let that stop her trying and was the person who trained the most!
Anyone else see the christmas sepcial?
I thought Gethin and Darren were the two best. I personally prefer Gethin because he is the hotter of the two, but not dissapointed by Darren winning.
I actually enjoyed strictly, and Brucie is great, cant believe he has been ignored on the queens honor list again, he deserves to be knighted! But the best person won the show and its nice to see really, Alisha seems a really sweet and nice person and obviously a great dancer so well done.
