Been doing a bit of Maths concerning this weekends possible public vote, taking into account Ricky G and Phil were in the dance-off.
This was the judges leaderboard at the end of the night:
Ali & Brian - 7pts
Ricky W & Natalie - 7pts
Natalie & Vincent - 6pts
Phil & Katya - 5pts
Chris & Ola - 4pts
Ricky G & Erin - 3pts
Laila & Anton - 2pts
So from this we can see Laila had to make up at least 3 points on Phil, to be above him in the overall combined leaderboard.
If we are to presume Laila won the public vote, she would have had 9pts (2+7), that would mean Phil could have no more than 4pts from the public which would have been 4th on the public vote.
If we are to stick Ricky G at the bottom of the public vote thus putting him in the dance-off. We know Chris would have to come at least one place above Phil. So therefore, if Phil was 4th, and with Laila and Chris above him, it leaves just one place above him in the public vote, and two below him for the top 3 on the night Ali, Ricky W and Natalie.
Now Natalie got one more point then Phil with the judges so she would have to be above him in the public vote, to finish above him on the combined leaderboard. That leaves two places below Phil for Ali and Ricky W, but that would not work, because whichever one of them finished two places below Phil, would finish below him on the combined leaderboard, due to public vote.
Here is just an example of what I mean:
Public vote:
1. Laila & Anton - 7pts
2. Chris & Ola - 6pts
3. Natalie & Vincent - 5pts
4. Phil & Katya - 4pts
5. Ali & Brian - 3pts
6. Ricky W & Natalie - 2pts
7. Ricky G & Erin - 1pt
That would leave combined total of:
Natalie & Vincnet - 11pts (6+5)
Chris & Ola - 10pts (4+6)
Ali & Brian - 10pts (7+3)
Laila & Anton - 9pts (2+7)
Phil & Katya - 9pts (5+4)
Ricky W & Natalie - 9pts (7+2)
Ricky G & Erin - 4pts (3+1)
This would see the two Ricky's in the dance-off, Ricky W dropping in due to public vote. So therefore, from what I can work out, Phil could not have came any higher than 5th in the public vote.
If he did come 5th, that would still allow Ricky G to be last, Laila could come either 1st or 2nd. And leave space for Chris, Natalie and one of Ali and Ricky W to come above him, with the other couple coming 6th.
Of course this all rely's on Ricky G coming last in the public vote and Phil coming in 5th. If Phil was 6th or even last it doesn't tell us all that much about public vote.
It was just something I found a bit intresting, as a lot of people were shocked with Phil being in the bottom two.
