Has it started already?
I ask cuz I thought Ali's Salsa was maybe not as good as anticipated but was for me the best of the night closely followed by Jade and Ian. The Golden couple ie Ricky W and Natalie Lowe (or as my daughter calls her 'That boring Australian girl'
) were wildy over marked considering the judges were quite critical of their dance. They did the same section three times and it seems to be alot of basic with Natalie spinning around Ricky. Not very Salsa, in my opinion.
Marks wise there seems to be distinct divisions in striclty and it seems extremely difficult for any dancer to win promotion to a higher division where they automatically receive higher marks. Phil Tufnell should never have received a four from Craig for his Salsa, Jo Wood was not as bad as the judges said, Zoe receiving a nine from Len for her Foxtrot was extremely generous and for Natalie C and Vincent to receive the same overall mark as Jade and Ian was laughable. Ian was right to make a comment about the marking not matching up to the comments.
This seems to happen every year what do we all think about couples automatically receiving higher marks than others?
