Strictly Quarter Finals: A Poll!

[EvilRingahBitch]

We're now down to six remaining contestants, which means they'll fit on a Mumsnet poll.

Last year you comfortably predicted Ellie's victory, so let's see if we can repeat it.

Can’t see your poll but Chris will win.

Chris to win

Who I want to win and who I think will win are two different things.

Chris will win. He was always going to win.

Indeed they are, but this is a poll asking who you would like to win, regardless of whether you think it's plausible.

Still being controversial and saying Pete will win.

Can't see your poll I'm on the app.

Tasha or Sarah to win please

Me too!

I want Montell to win (I know she won't), but am pretty sure Chris will. I just hope Pete isn't in the final.

That's so annoying. I'll post up the results in an app-readable form whenever I think the thread needs a bump.

So far, Chris comfortably on top with 31%, Sarah and, surprisingly, Tasha joint second on 17% each
But early days yet.

Personally I'd be staggered if Pete beat Chris into the finals.

Chris hands down

Chris to win. He’s not the best dancer but what he’s achieving is just incredible. I’ve never really been a Dianne fan before but she’s doing a brilliant job with Chris this year so she deserves to win too.

Chris might struggle with the extra dances if he makes the final.

@EvilRingahBitch

I think next week will be Montell vs Tasha
And then semis Tasha vs Sarah or JB

I don't believe either Chris or Pete will see a Dance Off

I went for Sarah, although I have been enjoying JB's renaissance these last few weeks.

I think Chris will win and I will be ok with that because he is constantly surpassing my expectations.

Depends on how many ties they have in the semis. If there are no ties and Pete and Chris are bottom 2 on the leaderboard then it's very tricky for them both to escape the DO. If there are ties then yes you could see a Tasha vs JB dance off.

I loved Sarah at the start and adore Vito, but it's JB for me

For me strictly is not about who is the best dancer but who has become an amazing dancer , improving each week throughout the series.

For me Tasha, and JB have been amazing from start to finish
Sarah and Montell are amazing and have improved.
Pete is just Pete and having a blast.

but for me Chris and Dianne have shone through this series. He is blind, has learned to dance and has improved week after week.

Before this series started I did some training with the guide dogs for the blind and even walking while blindfolded and trying to cut with a knife etc was so difficult so for Chris to learn to dance without being able to see is bloody amazing and for dianne teaching him to dance is astounding.

no he isn’t the best dancer but wow, he’s improved so much!

I have had fewer routines this year that I've watched more than once.
Ironically Chris JB and Pete are "winning" in that department

Chris waltz AS both sublime
JB cc samba both excellent
Montell samba
Pete AS VW
Sarah paso
Tasha

So I won't begrudge Chris or JB being in the finals, if they do make it.
I'm sure she's lovely but I just haven't connected with Tash like I did Ashley/Debbie/Alexandra/Layton.
Smart money is on Chris.
I'd be okay with a Sarah win.

Chris

Tash bein a trained dancer puts me off so I'd rather she didn't win.

I'd like Sarah to win. She has been amazing - and she has a great connection with Vito.

I want Chris or JB to win; Chris because it's amazing how well he has done, considering he has no frame of reference like the others do, and of the rest I enjoy JB's dances most, though only since Lauren replaced Amy.

Same. I just love that she's a strong athlete and a lovely person, a non-dancer who's learning each week.

I'm enjoying seeing Pete but it's got to that stage where he's taking the place of a better dancer.

For the benefit of people on the app.
After 119 votes,
Chris 41%
Sarah 21%
JB 13%
Montell 9%
Tasha 8%
Pete 8%

I'm guessing that the MN demographic is not a great overlap with Pete's voters, and he's also getting a bit of backlash.

To be fair to Pete, I don’t think he understands why he’s still there and who is voting for him. I like him. Strictly, for me has always been about who you connect with. They may not be the best dancer. Over the years there have been better dancers who didn’t win, Alexandra Burke, Maisie Smith etc.
