Should the scoring be changed ....
.....to factor in the difficulty of the dance ??
It seems to me that every week, Ricky Whittle attempts more difficult moves in his routines, yet other celebrities play safe. Last week I seem to remember CRH saying that Ricky had attempted something in his dance that no-one had tried in any other series, and because he hadn't got it quite right, he was marked down. Then, Ali got 40 for not a very risky dance. I don't see how you can compare a woman dancing a VW to a man dancing a Tango, when one is far more difficult than the other. Perhaps some kind of 'difficulty factor' that you see in diving competitions would be fairer. EG multply the score by 2.3 for a man leading a Tango, and 1.7 for a woman being dragged around in a VW. (not a camper van) ![]() ![]() Just a thought |

I don't really believe that's appropriate or necessary for this kind of dance entertainment contest....besides which it's just another potential area of tedious 'controversy'.
I think it should be left up the judges to factor degree of difficulty implicitly into their marking...though I accept they sometimes don't inspire much trust with their individual scores. The main priority is to ditch the DO and solve this tied scores nonsense. |

If you had multipliers, the result would confuse the audience - just as Gymnastics scores became incomprehensible once they stopped giving one mark out of 10. Ali and Ricky W might have twice Phil's marks, so the result wouldn't be popular either. If you started by marking each dance within its own level of difficulty, some people would be scoring out of 10 and some out of 3 or the tariff would be meaningless. The ones getting 1 out of 3 would then probably win on sympathy and anger at the judges. |

Its not really up to the celeb how hard the dance is though, the pros decide.

He is a good dancer, give him something he can exel in rather than trying to prove a point about your own abilities as a dance teacher (and he struggles with keeping up). The woman is starting to annoy me incredibly. He would have been better off with someone like Erin, Lilia or even Camilla. |
