Who do you think will be Strictly champion POLL

[susieq]

Well who do you think are the front runners this year ?
And who do you think has been brought in to be the 'comic' element ?

I like ''Mr Chalk'' (Waterloo Road) Cant remember his name. He wont win of course but is good fun!
That girl who did the Charlston was amazing with ????? Hell cant remember his name. He's never done that dance on strictly before and they were amazing. Anton Dubeck? I love his rubbery legs!

I think Tony Jacklin the golfer will be out soon. Other brought on for their comedic value are, in my opinion, Dave Myers, Julian MacDonald and Mark Benton - although I thought Mark Benton was brilliant in his first dance - Id like to see him do the Paso Doble! Deborah Meaden was also surprisingly good.
Sophie Ellis-Baxter was amazing doing the Charleston (she is with Brendan Cole), I liked Natalie Gumede, Ashley Dawson and Patrick Robinson too.
I also have a soft spot for Fiona Fullerton as shes the same age as me and theres no way I could do that!

Got that golfers name wrong - shows how memorable he is!

BRENDON COLE!!! Thats him. Thanks Crocus I always get those two mixed up.

Quote = ''He's my favorite''.

Said before the start it will be a female that wins this year. My bets are were on Natalie Gumede with Abbie Clancy a dark horse... So far so good!!! A lot of people that I have spoken to said that they didnt think Abbie would be very good because shes a WAG. Think shes proved them wrong and helped me with my predictions...

I think Natalie Gumade is very good but not very likeable so not sure that people will vote for her. Love Dave Myers for the comedy element
I don't think Julien will last long as he is so annoying
I think Sophie Ellis Bextor is great and will go a long way.

Mind you, historically I am not very good at picking the winner so what do I know.

I don't watch it, but hear all about it from mum in great detail

Her tips for this year:
To win - Susanna or 'the bully from Coronation Street'.
To go out first - 'the old golfer'
Her favourite - The Hairy Biker.

I love these early stages when it is on for TWO HOURS on a Saturday and 40 minutes today

Wells so far she's right

Personally I think Sophie Ellis Bextor's in with a good chance if last night's Charleston is anything to go by !

well thats tony jacklin gone then. i think that was the right choice.
most of them are so good after such a short time practicing or do they take private lessons once they know they are going to be on the show.
Think i would, not that thats going to happen

Ha, never say never Pam.
