Abbey now holds the record for the highest scored samba, 39 out of 40 (it's one of the few dances that no one has ever got a perfect score. Pop Quiz: can anyone name another dance?
)
Anyway, I thought she was very slightly over-marked, there wasn't enough bounce for my liking (Craig said it as well ) 0 -

Well worth a watch. It's nearly almost NSFW

Abbey and Aljaz:- Judges’ Choice: The Waltz to “Kissing You” by Des’ree
- Showdance: “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns N Roses
- Couples’ Favourite: The Quickstep to “Walking On Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves
- Judges’ Choice: The Cha Cha to Boney M’s “Rasputin”
- Showdance: “Steppin’ Out with My Baby” by Christina Aguilera and Tony Bennett
- Couples’ Favourite: American Smooth to Jennifer Hudson’s “And I’m Telling You, I’m Not Going”
- Judges’ Choice: Viennese Waltz to “My Favourite Things” by Julie Andrews
- Showdance: “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” by Whitney Houston
- Couples’ Favourite: The Charleston to “Rock It For Me” by Caravan Palace
- Judges’ Choice: The Quickstep to Tommy Steele’s “Good Morning”
- Showdance: “Your Song” by Ewan MacGregor
- Couples’ Favourite: The Paso Doble to Carmen’s “Los Toreadors”
I reaaaalllllly hope Sophie & Brendan get to dance their Charleston! It'll be great! I also really like their Viennese Waltz from Musical week
It's rare that we will to get to see a Cha-Cha performed so late in the competition, and by a very good couple, so Natalie & Artem's performance should be exciting.
Although I'm not a big fan of Susanna anymore, I would like to her Paso Doble again, it was immense. She struggled with the Quickstep first time round, so it'll be interesting to see how she gets on in the final with it.
Abbey & Aljaz are performing the Waltz as picked by the Judges..... great opportunity to get a 40 there. I think their Showdance is a mixture of Paso and Tango, I'm expecting big things! 0 -

I would like to see natalie win - I think she's the classiest dancer out of the other three. That dance at the weekend was fabulous - couldn't believe she was in the bottom two.
Don't know what the hype is about aby- yes she's a good dancer but nothing outstanding compared to natalie
You're not forgetting that this is a popularity contest as well as a dancing one, are you?

Thank you for posting.
Of that lot I am really looking forward to seeing Susannah and Kevin's Paso. I know much of the rest of her dancing leaves a lot to be desired but that has been one of my favourite dances ever from strictly.
Abby got great marks for her quick step but I thought her arms and hands were all over the place. And will she ever keep her mouth closed when she's dancing!0 -

And, courtesy of BBC entertainment correspondent Tim Masters, here's what the ladies have to say ahead of tomorrow night:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25449276
Notice that Tim has made sure to include a positive comment from each of the judges.
And notice too that he says that William Hill make Susanna 6/5 to win.
Paddy Power and Coral do the same, while Ladbrokes are offering even shorter odds, 11/10.
Abbey is around 9/4, and Sophie around 7/2. And Natalie is around 10/1 - another indication that it's not just about how well you can dance, it's about how popular you are with the public as well... 0 -

Let's take one last look at what the bookies are offering, then:
Paddy Power: Susanna 5/6, Abbey 2/1, Sophie 7/2, Natalie 10/1
Ladbrokes: Susanna 4/5, Abbey 5/2, Sophie 5/1, Natalie 10/1
William Hill: Susanna 8/11, Abbey 5/2, Sophie 9/2, Natalie 12/1
Coral: Susanna 8/11, Abbey 11/4, Sophie 9/2, Natalie 14/1
So Ms Reid is now odds-on to make it three wins for BBC Breakfast, following on from Natasha Kaplinsky and Chris Hollins...
However, Bopper made a good comment last week:You'd be surprised how many people vote in the final who haven't voted previously. Denise Van Outen seemed to fall under the same curse as Natalie by being deemed smug/too good etc. and finished bottom two at the semis. She beat Dani Harmer though in the final who had never been in the bottom two previous. If rumours are to be believed (although nothing has ever been confirmed) she beat Kimberley Walsh too and finished 2nd overall despite it being considered a sure thing that she would place 4th.
Plus Sophie has never been in the bottom two either so obviously she's popular with voters too. Although I'd definitely be putting my money on Susanna I wouldn't be surprised if she was pipped to the title at the final hurdle. The showdances are always crucial and usually swing a few undecided voters.
So for anyone who still thinks that Susanna has this in the bag, stop.
And don't take the above odds too seriously, either. They're just a guide, after all. 0 -
