Don't really watch this, but the odd bits of it I have caught, the girl from Coronation street was easily the best.

So why is she the outsider to win?

[erinp5]

She is technically very good but she is a cold fish with zero personality. I don't warm to her or Artem. I would never pick up the phone and vote for them and it looks like many viewers feel the same.

[Alf]

So personality is more important than talent is what your saying?

No wonder our schools are failing

[King Gizzard]

Susanna will probably win, you do have to be likeable to win this show, and I think alot of people are put off by the fact Natalie is a trained dancer before going onto the show

[King Gizzard]

i warm to them both!! i think technically she's the best there!!!
i bet idiots are still seeing her as the bitch from corrie!!
are you crazy how can you say she's a cold fish with zero personality!! she's a nice fun person and both her and Artem have amazing chemistry and are both great as a team!!!!
it baffles me how Abbey is classed as the QUEEN of dance! when her and her partner look out of sync and no connection is there

I am not saying it is but it does help if you can get the viewing/voting public on your side .
Susanna is the fav because she has the backing of the public and imo is the worst dancer.

lets be honest its never about who the best dancer is
its always about who the public either fancies or likes and
the whole "vote for your favourite" is just that and it doesn't matter if the person dances badly because if the GBP likes them then they'll vote

look at what happened with John Sergeant the man even quit the show because he himself knew it wasn't fair on others!!! how he kept being saved when he cant dance !

and ive seen loads of contestants who are either average or not very good but because they're popular they end up either winning or getting to the final

another example spencer from eastenders he came 2nd!!! and omg the guy was rubbish and couldn't dance !!! but of course he had the eastenders fans voting! and others probably thought he was cute so kept voting for him

I think Sophie Ellis-Bextor ought to win. It's a bit of a farce when there are people in there who have already been trained in these dances and they're presented to the public as having started off at the same point as everybody else. I've been watching SCD since I've been at home - Natalie might be technically good but her performances feel completely devoid of passion and emotion, which in my opinion is just as important as getting the steps right.

[erinp5]

[GoldHeart]

wow some of you must really dislike Natalie if your saying its a farce that she's a "trained dancer"

the woman is an actress !! so next you'll probably be saying she's cheating because she has more experience with showing emotion in dances

alot of actors have to be versatile and learn a bit of dance, singing and even musical instruments its all part of it and its not exactly wrong even if she does have a bit of dance experience what does it matter when at the end of the day its still a whole new ball game and its still down to the public !! and you got nothing to worry about anyway cause clearly its not working in her favour is it now!

and i wouldn't call it offputting especially when she's not the only person who's already got dance experience who's been a contestant on strictly plus didn't someone say Abbey has had ballet lessons


all these contestants are from different backgrounds and have different jobs from presenter to singer to actress and model so i dont think its fair how people pick on certain people like Natalie just because they dont like her


what about jill halfpenny back in series 2 wasn't she a trained dancer ?? yet she still won!! but i bet none of you had a problem with her

I'm no Susanna fan but out of the final she's the only contestant left that does the requirement of dancing, the other three contestants rely to heavily on their partners to do the dirty bits for them and it's mocking the rules of the show if they win as they aren't even suppose to be joke acts.

Can't say I agree with that statement. As for any of the remaining couples being a 'joke act' well that's ridiculous.

Strictly Come Dancing 2013 host Sir Bruce Forsyth has insisted he can’t call tomorrow night’s final.



Sophie Ellis Bextor, Abbey Clancy, Susanna Reid and Natalie Gumede will compete in the first ever all female Strictly final from tomorrow night.

And Sir Bruce told Alan Carr this week that he had no idea who would win.

“It’s never been like this, the show has never been like this because of the standard,” he explained. I mean people have been going on there after week 3 and 4, and they’ve done a routine that you can’t believe they learned.”

But Sir Brucie did single out favourite to win Susanna Reid for special comment, saying: “She’s [Susanna's] done wonders. When you think about it she’s doing the news reading job most mornings of the week..”

Eliminated celeb Ben Cohen was also praised by the 85-year-old for having improved “incredibly” during his time on the show.

Sir Bruce told Alan Carr on Chatty Man: “The person who showed more improvement than anybody was Ben Cohen.

“Ben actually, and this is absolutely the truth, when he came to the show he didn’t know who the devil I was, didn’t know me at all and had no idea of the show, he’d never seen the show, so his improvement was absolutely incredible.”



He added: “He left I thought very unfairly myself, but when he left, the dance he did, that night was unbelievable.”

Ahead of tomorrow night’s final and bookies are still finding it hard to pick a definite favourite.

Abbey Clancy’s odds have been cut once again after receiving 72% of all wagers placed since the semi-final, which has left her chalked up as the 9/4 second favourite for victory on Saturday night.

Susanna remains the favourite at 11/10, or it’s a 7/2 shot that Sophie lands the glitterball trophy. But unfortunately for former long-term favourite Natalie her odds have drifted out to double figures at 10/1.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “With 72% off all wagers placed on Abbey this week the money suggests an upset is on the cards in the most exciting Strictly grand final yet.”



The grand final will be on Saturday 21st December at 6:30pm on BBC One and BBC One HD. The Strictly 2013 winner will be revealed in the second show of the evening next Saturday at 8:40pm.

I'm not saying she's brilliant at it (although at least she did do the Paso Doble which I hope I've spelt correctly) but I feel that she's trying to dance at least, the other three girls just get flung all over the place doing no footwork whatsoever, it's a joke that they get scored above a 35 most weeks.

[Mystic Mock]

Abbey won't win, she came dead last in a public vote which makes it virtually impossible for her, plus she has to be on late in the time slots every week just to scrounge her some votes I think.

Abby's top line in ballroom is meticulous ,the best of all the contestants..
Meant to add Susanne's gurning gets on my norks.

abby's going to win isn't she

g'wan Susanna/Natalie

[King Gizzard]

What's the point of criticism on the final seriously

they're not dancing again (well they are technically but still)

[GypsyGoth]

I hope Sophie makes it to the final round.

[GypsyGoth]

I didn't think I'd like Abby, I've only ever known her from a couple of news articles I've read about her before this, but she seems really nice.
