Because most of the females who have been really good on DOI ever have been 5-3 or shorter and the comparison this year is a very tall Matt and a tiny Jorgie. Jennifer can dance and she may nail the skating, but lifts will be more limited. They will try and make it look as if everyone can do everything - but Jorgi has liftability (and dance skill ) Jennifer has even more dance skill, and Chemmy has more speed and power. Makes for a real competition.
Now, that's what I think of as typical week 1 material...except for that little solo step routine he did in the middle. I think he's got the potential to be really good, given a few more weeks.
