On the basis of tonights performances I think Kelly and Kevin deserve to win the glitter ball, but on each weeks spoiler vote they are towards the bottom and they have been in the dance off a couple of times, so clearly unlikely to win the popular vote. If the spolier vote is to be believed then Jay and Aliona are odds on favourites.

Kevin and Kelly certainly stood out for me last night. Let's hope the voters are behind them. Georgina was fabulous but her lack of training hours showed. Not sure about the dance off but guess if Katie or Anita are in it then they will be the ones to go. Worst case scenario is a dance off between Kelly and Georgina as on last nights performance Georgina will go. Not sure about Jay. He did a fantastic Jive early on in the series then the Charlston another great dance last night but somehow I just don't have faith in his performances.

Sadly I think it will be Katie and Anton to go as much as I would like them to win, they are not quite up to snuff now. Katie definitely runs out of steam before the end of the dance.
Methinks Jay will win. I believe he has the popular vote. However my vote goes to Kelly and Kevin.

Personally I can't bear Kellie, and think she looks awkward. I didn't like her second dance last night either.

I'm not sure any of them is really good in both ballroom and Latin. But I rather think Jay will win - as much because of the romance with Aliona as anything!

You and my wife would get on well Gill, she can't stand her either.

Must admit I thought Katie would go, but what matters is the potential winners are all through.

I'm wondering if viewers are voting for Anton rather than Katie - to see him in the final. Not sure how far that will take him - if that's the case.

Almost certainly - although that made little difference this weekend.

Anita was never going to get Len's vote by doing that Salsa again so Katie only needed one other vote to get through.

As an Anton supporter I am pleased to see him in the final, although I suspect he might be voted off first. I liked Kelly and Kevin's American smooth last Saturday but I'm afraid I don't really like Kelly. Can't be doing with all the squealing when she gets through.

If Anton can't win I hope Georgia wins.

I'm sure we all have different opinion's and that's what makes the voting interesting.
Do the BBC ever tell you what the dancers percentage of the vote is.

Although it's natural to like or dislike the professional dancers and form opinions about them, I think the focus should be on the contestants rather than the professionals - really the professionals are there just to facilitate the progress of the contestants.

That's why, for me, it doesn't feel right that it's all about Anton, rather than Katie.

I would much rather have seen Anita in the final, she is a much more talented dancer, and her show dance with Gleb could have been sensational.

For entertainment, the final will be weaker without Anita and Gleb.

I would like Georgia to win and if not Jay. Not keen on Kellie at all, and if Anton wins, sorry Katie, it'll be ridiculous

I agree Gill. We began by wishing Katie the best every week, but by Saturday evening, Sue and I were full of admiration for Anita. More than any other contestant she embraced the whole supposed ethos of the programme. Gleb set her some really tricky stuff and she did it amazingly well. Her Paso was beautiful. We look at Anita in a different light now.

Anton will win, he is by far the most popular dancer left
and as the show is nothing to do with dancing, it is a foregone conclusion
