Depends how influential the judges are. We went through a period when they were ignored (Tom, John, Chris) but since the vote has followed the marks and some people may be very impressed by a gushing 40.
There's also the strange case of Jason's acting. Craig was enthusing about it and Jason fills theatres in his day job, but I see complete ham and wouldn't stay if there wasn't someone else on stage to watch. If he divides people that much, its difficult to be objective about how well he does anything.
There's also the marking problem of how you compare a routine thats too difficult but more artistic with one thats more straighforward and traditional. They don't mark harder choregraphy out of more than 10 so its arguably not wise to attempt anything tougher to learn or more risky or more draining.
