I think I'd agree, but I do think the OP is right too! I looked into the judges' preferences for series 8 and the current one, and found that for series 8 she was perhaps the most even-handed of all the judges, but for the fact that she went totally overboard for Gavin.
This series she's been favouring Harry (compared to the other judges), but I have a suspicion that this was to counteract Len's undermarking (relative to the other judges). My impression is that this has all subsided now, because Aliona is now doing a good job of showing off Harry's abilities, and putting on some very decent choreography. Plus the fact that Len seems to be in a better mood!
