I've watched for 15 mins and am yet to hear her speak

30 mins before Burke speaks. I see Max Clifford has managed to link gay defoe to her. maybe she is gay too?

Jen's - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (i think)

big Jen article in The Sun on Sunday, losing weight blah blah, generally saying all the right things.

Perhaps she needs to make a big thing of doing it for her kid (who can't be there) as the only Mother on Mothering Sunday

Not a great song for Jen. She only really shines with the slower numbers.

I'm surprised her elim price has held up all week.
I reckon it's only us on here betting on the show and many of us can't get much on

I think there is a `skill test` and the judges pick Matthew, sorry, the judges pick `the best`, who then receives immunity.

It certainly looks like a get rid of Jen plot, Jorgie gets the top score and improvement from last week ramp, Matt gets the skills test immunity, theres just no escape for Jen imo if theres a skate off, really surprised at the odds. Mind the books all fall into order.

Am on Jen for £260 at 2.5 (not literally, sadly)
Mainly because I'm green on everyone but Chico so won't mind losing this bet if he goes.

that should say "Latest tellymix poll" at the start

Taken a punt on this one, my record this year has been abysmal and I've had to slowly scrape back 2 expensive mistakes early in the series with limited success.

Outright:
Chico: Biggest loss ever
Matt: Mild-ish red
Jorgie: Big green

I think with Chico having been in the B2 twice now, once against Chemmy and the other with Heidi (this was when Andy and Sam were still around), I'm hoping that it basically means he doesn't have the oomph to go on and win, I also don't feel his routines have been particularly memorable. I'm worried though that he definitely did get more votes last week than Jorgie.

Jorgie, the Facebook comments suggest more support for her, all polls I can find (except the weird DS poll) have her with a comfy lead. I also do think she's the best skater.
I'm also imagining her on the night, she'll do her favourite routine which should be enough to see her through to the next round, then the Bolero which I think she'll do well in as it's a rather ... graceful dance.
Coupled in with the fact she has a sweet personality and is against two guys I think she might get some support.

Matt for me, I think the prices for him and Jorgie are the wrong way around, no real killer skate as far as I can see. I find Nina rather cold too. A lot of talk about him being arrogant - a big turn off for the mostly-female viewers.

If Chico wins, he'll be the first 9/1 shot I've seen win a final and it'll very nearly bring me down to nothing. I've had a terrible year so far, Matt wins, it's another blow, Jorgie wins, back on top.

Dancing On Ice 2012 head judge Robin Cousins has said that Matthew Wolfenden “exuded winner” on last Sunday’s semi-final show.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s final, Robin however insisted that either Chico or Jorgie Porter could still win the show.

“Ultimate Skills was good, they all remembered what they were doing, they all stayed within their own pace,” Robin told STV this week. ”Jen did a nice job, kept it together and Jorgie was really strong. But for me it came down to the two boys.

”Chico had a lot more speed, great control, great effort, but Matthew just had a quality about him on his own that exuded winner.”

The judge added: “It has to be an interesting final, it can’t be anything else.”

This weekend the final three will go head to head for the title of Dancing On Ice 2012 Champion, and Robin wouldn’t rule out a shock win for Chico, who only joined the show as a last minute replacement.

The Olympic gold medallist explained: “What works for him now is that he’s a very strong partner, it’s not just about his own skating skills but the partnering skills are brilliant.”

He added: “Chico was the only one without a mistake [at the weekend]. You don’t want to make mistakes but they’re being pushed to their limits choreographically, they want to deliver great performances but I think next week is going to have go be perfect if you want to walk away with that championship and that dancing on ice trophy.”

No wires??

Big crowd pleaser for Matt?

Fame a bit too frantic and stage schooley??

Good fav routine for Jorgie? - scored 26 fto.

The Dancing On Ice 2012 finalists are gearing up for Sunday’s big day, with the remaining three skaters practicing no fewer than three different routines.

Each of the final trio will be skating a special showcase routine and recreating their favourite past skate from the series.

The top two skaters will then go head to head for votes with a performance of Torvill and Dean’s Bolero.

Emmerdale hunk Matthew, the current favourite to win, will skating to Singing In The Rain for his showcase routine, which will also feature an umbrella as a prop.

Meanwhile, Jorgie Porter will be perform to Fallin’ by Alicia Keys as she performs her Valentine’s Day routine once again. Her showcase performance will be Fame.

dunno where that t3 came from or what it is about

Does anyone know if Chico is skating to Chico-Time in the final?
Cheers

I think Vanilla Ice went out the week he did Ice Ice Baby so can't see it helping Chico's chances either

but choosing to do a showcase routine to his own track would make him look like a big-headed cheeseball

we have no strong indication that mat is popular,never out polled jorgie, all the pimp slots mat has had may be a clue that he is actualy struggling, has the unthinkable happened is chico now the value?

The polls are rubbish in this and I suspect totally unrepresenative of the audience demographic.  Jen had half of the support Chico had on them, and Andy was always struggling yet both evidently were far more popular than Chico in the actually vote.  Further Jorgie is far more popular on them than Chico and yet somehow still got less votes than Chico last week, despite Chico more than likely being stone cold last of the vote twice in the preceding 3 shows.

As fans of Dancing on Ice will know, the show’s final is this Sunday, and according to Pineapple Dance star Louie Spence, former X Factor finalist Chico has no chance of winning.

Speaking to Daybreak viewers, Louie said that he’s certain Chico’s going to end up on the loser’s bench because his fellow finalists, Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden and Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter are “trained dancers” whereas Chico is not.

He is trained to goat herd though, and if this was Goat Herding on Ice, he’d win hands down.

However, getting back to what Louie said, he remarked, ”Matthew and Jorgie have got some form of dance training. Whereas Chico? What does he do?

“But he’s not done bad, has he?”

Matthew and his partner Nina Ulanova are the current favourites to win, followed by Jorgie and then Chico.

In the final, it’s expected that Matthew and Nina will skate to Singing in the Rain while Jorgie and her partner, Matt Evers, will take perform to Alicia Key’s track, Fallin’. What song Chico will perform to hasn’t yet been revealed.
