I certainly agree with points 2 & 3. It's Eurovision Syndrome. The winning act often comes from the final quarter of performers in that. A large percentage of voters have short memories.
But I quite like the new scoring system. It tends to protect the better but less popular dancers, because one of them is likely to be up against an opponent who is clearly weaker in the judges' eyes.
The big exception could come up soon though, if Jade's and Zoe's scores are equal and in mid-table, while they score only 1 & 2 with the public.
Then, once Craig has been voted into Blackpool and, as seems likely, disappointed again, I expect his support to dwindle.
