The viewers, on the otherhand, have the right to choose, and vote for, their favourites - for whatever reason and regardless of the standard of their dancing. And obviously lots of people are going to have differing views - which is just as well, otherwise you could get a situation where 1 celeb gets all the marks and the other 10-11 (or whatever) get none!
'Vive la difference' - it's what makes like interesting!”

Good post Kaycee - Craig has often siad that they are there to guide the viewers through the dance technicalities, which the majority of the viewers (me firmly included) won't be able to pick up on.
The viewers then decide what they liked to see from an entertainment point of view - me, personally, I like to see a dance that looks good to me, taking into account the training and how hard the celebrity has tried too, especially in the former weeks of the show.
As the Celebs progress, I expect them to be more proficient.
