I'm loving Pam & Matt so I don't mind who wins out of those two.
Pam and James to win!
same, i dont mind either, i think Matt is just one of those people that really wants to suceed to the best of his ability, i remember watching him on blue peter and i think its the athlete in him which i think is why he was very emotional when he didnt really deliver on friday, her certainly made up for it saturday though.
I like Aliona and James to so i really dont mind who wins.
I love watching kara dance I think she is such a stunning dancing I always enjoy watching and looking forward to her dances
I like pam but I cant see the amazing-ness of all her dances as everyone else does, for me personally she has never topped her rumba
I also love matt and feel so sorry for him I can see the dancer in him but I do think he tries too hard and sometimes doesnt look quite right
Did anybody see It Takes Two last night? James and Artem did the Rumba together and it was absolutely hilarious.
Gavin gone,,, goooooooood,,, Scott gone,,, sniff sniff I was hoping he would go a bit further,, Matt is good but not that good, he wears his itty bitty Blue Peter heart on his sleeve also when his confidence is knocked back by the judges you can see him make mistakes or try tooooo hard in the next dance he does. I would love to see Tara win, she really is good, as for Pam bless her she is just a few days older than I am, I am impressed she can still MOVE like that LOL..
Kara to win she is stunning.
Pamela is also amazing bu she doesn't do it for me as much as Kara.
James and Artem were hilarious doing that rhumba last night, it amused me greatly!
Billy Connolly has reportedly said that he will appear on next year's Strictly Come Dancing if his wife Pamela Stephenson wins this weekend's final.
The 68-year-old comedian is thought to have been practising with Stephenson at home over the last few weeks and is strongly considering an offer from the BBC to feature on the 2011 series.
A source told The Sun: "Billy is amazed at what this has done for Pamela. She's changed in front of his eyes. She's lost two stone and gone from being a professional psychologist to a sizzling salsa sexpot - and he loves it!
"He is amazed at her transformation and is keen to get in on the action."
Connolly is apparently interested in partnering Ola Jordan, the wife of Stephenson's professional partner James.
The insider added: "Billy thinks the Jordans are lovely. If he were partners with Ola it would be just great. It would be fun rather than hard work for him."
Stephenson is up against Kara Tointon and Matt Baker in this weekend's Strictly final.

Kara Tointon and her dance partner Artem Chigvintsev have been voted the winners of Strictly Come Dancing.
The pair beat Matt Baker and Aliona Vilani into second place, and had also received more points from the judges throughout the final.
Tointon burst into tears when the result was announced before hugging Chigvintsev.
Runner-up Baker congratulated the actress, saying: "It has been great. They are worthy winners without any doubt. If I was at home I'd be voting for them too."
A beaming Tointon said of the result: "It's just the most special thing I've ever achieved, thank you to this man [Chigvintsev]."
She added: "I've made the most fantastic friends for life. It's been the most special experience of my life."
Chigvintsev - who had also broken into tears - said simply: "She's amazing."
The pair then lifted the Glitterball Trophy as they were crowned winners of the series, and were joined by the other dance partners in celebration.
i thought that they did desreve to win, i loved Pamelas Showdance! very very traditional!
Yes!! I've wanted Kara to win for a while. She is so good to watch dancing. And Craig said he'd kill to dance like her :D Congratulations Kara & Artem :clap:
Kara Tointon wants a Strictly Come Dancing rulebook introduced to prevent confusion about the dances.
The former EastEnders actress, 27, and dance partner Artem Chigvintsev were marked down by Len Goodman for the way they interpreted the American Smooth on their way to winning this year's final.
She told BBC Breakfast: "I think there should be a Strictly rule book. Artem is an amazing choreographer. He thought American Smooth is sort of freestyle but who knows? There should be a book."
Kara said the chemistry had been there between her and her Russian dance partner, who shared a public kiss after their win, from the beginning.
She said: "We've got on like a house on fire all the way through, which is quite a big achievement in itself because it's intense and you do have low moments.
"Now we're out of the studio it will be nice to do some normal things like go to the cinema and the shops."
Kara said she will miss "being dressed up like a princess" now the show has finished, adding: "When it came to the public vote we never thought in a million years (that we'd win) against Pamela (Stephenson) who's a complete inspiration, a bit of a machine. She blows me away.
"Matt (Baker) has been incredible from the word go. It's a bit of a dream really and we're very proud."
Kara, who was rushed to A&E after tearing ligaments in her lower arm, said of the injury: "I tried something a little bit silly on Saturday. It was a shame because the last two dances were a bit of a disaster but we made it through and to win it was just insane."

They're going to make a great double act into panto.
Cuddly toy, toaster, cutlery set, radio and, oh yes, knighthood…
He’s waited decades for the coveted prize to come along, and yesterday king of light entertainment Bruce Forsyth was celebrating after being told he will become a Sir.
The former Generation Game presenter last night spoke of his joy at the announcement, which comes after years of campaigning by fans and even politicians.
Brucie said receiving the honour at long last had “made his life worthwhile”.
Toasting the news with a glass of champagne, the 83-year-old Strictly Come Dancing host, whose wife Wilnelia Merced is visiting her native Puerto Rico, said: “She comes home tomorrow and I can’t wait to go to the airport to welcome her back and call her ‘My Lady’.
“I’m over the moon. I have known about the knighthood for four weeks but now that it’s *actually happened, it’s a real honour.” Of the campaign to knight him, he added: Michael Grade put in a good word. Elton John even put into print ‘Why hasn’t Bruce received this honour?”’
Strictly co-host and Mirror fashion columnist Tess Daly spoke of her delight for Brucie. She said: “I got tears in my eyes when I heard, and I know how proud and happy this will make him.
“This honour is fantastic news and I’m so proud of him. Go, Brucie, I can’t wait to have a glass of bubbly with you.
“I’m so ridiculously happy, I’ve been ringing round everyone since I heard.”
There have been internet petitions and even a parliamentary Early Day Motion signed by 73 MPs demanding Brucie be knighted. The mystery of why it has taken so long to give the legendary TV star a knighthood was finally revealed last night – it’s because he already has a CBE from 2006.
A Cabinet Office official explained: “Committees like to see another four or five years further achievement or service before they consider a further award.”

Other celebs given gongs in the Queen’s Birthday Honours didn’t have to wait quite as long as Brucie.
The King’s Speech star Colin Firth was awarded a CBE for his services to acting.
Colin Firth won an Oscar for The King's Speech
It means the Queen will get the chance to tell him in person what she thought of his role as her dad George VI.
It caps a memorable year for Firth which saw him pick up a string of awards, most notably the Best Actor Oscar for his acclaimed performance as the stuttering monarch.
There was an OBE for Bernard *Cribbins – actor, chart star, Doctor Who sidekick and voice of The Wombles.
The 82-year-old, awarded for his services to drama, said he was “gobsmacked” at the news as he did not anticipate being honoured. He added: “It’s a great surprise. My dad would have been delighted.”
Roxy Music legend Bryan Ferry, 65, receives a CBE.
Former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella, 27, gets an MBE for her campaign against knife crime, sparked by the murder of her 16-year-old brother Ben in 2008.
Author Julia Donaldson, 62, best known for The Gruffalo, caps a momentous week in which she was appointed the Children’s Laureate by being awarded an MBE.
OBEs go to Graeme Garden, 68, and Tim Brooke-Taylor, 70, *creators of classic 70s TV series The Goodies with Bill Oddie, 69, who received his in 2003.
The pair often took the mick out of the honours system in their radio and TV shows. Garden said: “It’s quite ironic considering how rude we were about it all those years ago.”
Other broadcasters honoured include BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour presenter Jenni Murray, 61, who is made a dame, and Radio 2 DJ “Whispering” Bob Harris, 65, gets an OBE. He revealed he mistook the notification for a pension letter.
Harris added: “It’s an incredible honour. I never would have dreamt it.”
OBEs were also awarded to conceptual artist Gillian Wearing, 47, and Elton John’s PR guru Gary Farrow, for services to the music industry and charity.
Emma Freud received an OBE for service to charity for her work on Comic Relief with partner, film-maker Richard Curtis.
