Same with Kara and Pamela (although Kara is the more natural dancer, probably also related to age and agility).
I hope that Anne doesn't make the final, but if any of the top four get there, I will be happy (I will even be happy if Gavin and Patsy make it there, although yesterday I saw that Gavin is really not improving anymore).”

Not in my case as my favourites are Kara and Scott and I think both were over-marked and in Scott's case he was placed in the wrong position on the leaderboard.
Moreover, I'm not mad about Matt but I felt he should have been top, but because he's probably doing very well in the public vote I feel like the judges/producers thought he could be risked in the mid-table position, whereas someone like Pamela couldn't so she needed help.
Just my gut feeling of course.

Basically, I think you are right, they can't save their favourites by using the dance off this year, so they're manipulating the scoring instead.”

Yes that was Series 5 - also the year the dance-off was introduced. I wish they'd left well alone.
