Martina was not more talented than Laila - she couldn't transition, her balance was dodgy and she didn't have as much fluidity and natural movement. She still didn't deserve to go in week one, but she was no where near being better than Laila.
He's not a god, but Matt's a very good teacher and some people just happen to think that Laila has the potential to dance a lot better than she is doing at the moment in latin. This is because when she does the basics, she actually does the steps quite well, she then just goes on to get lost in the bizarre choreography. This is why it's frustrating to watch and why the judges are getting annoyed.
It would have been interesting to see her learn latin with one of the latin pros - but then again, Anton's doing a brilliant job teaching her ballroom.
