If the both have made it to the final.”

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I think we are in for a real treat next weekend whichever of the couples are there.

Common you know you want to see that

. I'm sure whoever goes through we might become more familiar with their anatomy than with our own

.

Otherwise I agree, I think all couples left are capable of pulling something good out of the bag, and there were 4 very good dancers left, this means that at least 2 very good dancers should be in the final (and Gavin has some wow dances he could repeat if he made it through).

Possibly a first if no one in the final has ever been in the drop zone on the results show.
I have to agree with the Sonic a little bit though, I think Pamela has been given a leg up the leader board and hence a bit of judges' protection, it's just that without the dance off, the 'keep her in' bit comes via overmarking rather than being saved in a dance off. ( which incidently I think would have followed the same pattern as Lisa )

Are you deliberately trying to make me part company with my breakfast?

Well it could be depending on who went through. It is possible that the judges have done that, yes. I think she might not have needed the overmarking and sometimes I wish they hadn't. However someone called thenetworkbabe gave a good explaination of why the judges may have voted the way they did (related to natural limitations and what the dancers can achieve). I think it always happens that the judges are more picky with the people who have the potential to be much better, and more generous with those who have worked hard to reach their potential. IMO Matt hasn't fulfilled his, whereas Pamela probably went as far as she can. Kara almost went as far as she can, if she overcomes the little mistakes she will be mindblowing, whereas Pamela can never reach Kara's standard. Hope that makes sense.

If I feel down, I watch that clip and I'm just laughing my socks off. It was brilliant

This, combined with the judge's pet stuff won't help her at all. If she could tone down the strained 'californian happy' personality and Dr Pamela, married to Billy Connolly stuff, she would help her cause considerably.

Whilst we're at it, the Beeb's love-in with Billy C. is almost more annoying than the judges' overmarking.”

Could not agree more

If they get to do the showdance I see it more as a Tom / Camilla type showdance rather than a bacofoil nightmare! Although, assuming Kara and Artem are through, I can't wait to see what they come up with

The thought that Aliona might be choreographing a showdance is giving me nightmares already though....

They shouldn't be taking ANYTHING into account. She's either better than anyone else, or she's not. Personally, I don't think Pamela's better than Kara, and I find her routines boring compared to the edge in Kara's and Matt's performances (even Scott when he's on form).

If you take age into account, then you also have to take into account illness, injury etc., and they don't, so age should have nothing to do with it.
