how many series now and they still haven't sorted this out.
I think they need to make it clear to the public and the pros what dances are allowed lifts and which are not.
Also what constitutes a lift - Artem said a few weeks ago he regarded that as an assisted jump rather than a lift( can't remember what dance).
just checked back on this forum and Zoe and Ian's samba in 2005 scored a 40 and included what some thought was an illegal lift at the end.
I think I would deduct 1 point for accidental such as Kara's foot and maybe as many as 5 points for an illegal lift (as in matt/aliona).
maybe that would stop the pros putting them in for showmanship.
Save them for the allowed dances and the showdance.
