I think the question is "do you Mark someone against others or against the standard of an average person of that age/weight/gender?".
Obviously, Pamela did very very well for an older woman, and I have voted for her in other weeks, and twice tonight, but if she got a 40, then some of the other scores are odd.
I loved Kara's dance from yesterday, but none of the judges mentioned that she stumbled tonight. ( I have also voted for her twice!! ) But once you have given a 10 to a stumbled dance, there isn't anywhere to go if someone is better.
I think what they should do is watch all the dances, then score them after they have seen them all!
Good luck Matt (voted for 10 times!) Kara and Pamela.
My ideal would be Matt and Kara joint winners, with Kara becoming Artem's professional dance partner and wife !!! Romantic, moi??
