First of all, the routines arent 'full' of mistakes. There is the occasional timing issue and the odd stumble. And they are marked on their performance, their finishes and their technique, which are better than most of the other competitors left. Bar Chris whose Paso was the most entertaining thing I have ever seen!

Simple answer
Because even with a few mistakes they are tackling choreography and mastering technique that the others can only imagine. |

Full of mistakes is an exaggeration...but the straightforward answer is because quite obviously they're not being marked simply on the number of mistakes they make.

Because if you make a few mistakes in an otherwise excellent A level answer you get a good A level. If you recite the three times table and get it 100% correct you get a gold star but have to wait 13 years for the A level..........
![]() Natalie was definitely just doing 2 times table on Saturday. |

Absolutely agree, they are well ahead of the others in terms of ability. However, I feel I must stick up for poor Natalie Cassidy, because although her dancing isn't anyway up to their level, and not likely to ever be, that Foxtrot was for her the best dance she has tackled, and her improvement required a higher score also. Even Craig gave her an 8, and he doesn't dish out high marks readily.
On the other hand the competition is literally physically breaking down in the rank above her so her way is opening up and with it the chance that her votes won't have to make up so much for a lower position on the judges scoreboard. |

For the same reason that in diving when someone tries a more ambitious dive and nearly pulls it off they get more points than someone trying a basic one and being competent.
The top 3, or possibly 2 now couples are trying moves and choreography the others aren't even attempting. |

This I can understand which makes me wonder why it wasn't taken into account in Saturday's dance off.

Everyone appears to forget that Chris has made umpteen mistakes as well yet was never given the low ratings he deserved for them. |

Not really - I didn't rate the choreo at all, and thought that he got a ridiculously easy ride by Katya.

Why does everyone assume that Ricky W and Ali have such great Latin and Ballroom technique?

What a mouth, what a mouth, what a north and south Blimey what a mouth he's got! ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:
I don't think they do. They would have to train for years to have great technique. But even to my uneducated eyes they are head and shoulders above the rest of the amateurs.

I guess it's better to compare it to gymnastics scoring - there are different difficulty levels, which means you can get more points starting at a higher difficulty level than at a lower one, and this gives you a window to maybe make a mistake and not get penalised too much for it.
I hope this makes sense
