Jorgie could have chosen Chico (and TBH I'm surprised she didn't.....) and I'm even more surprised that she chose Jen before Chemmy! Chico and Chemmy are the 3rd and 4th best after Jorgie and Matt, so its surprising that Chemmy wasn't snapped up before Jen and Andy as they are the weakest links in both teams.
In theory the teams Could have been
Jorgie, Chico, Jen versus
Matt, Chemmy Andy”
I would hardly say Jen is a weak link. I have gone back and checked and her scores are pretty much on a par with Chemmys. Their scores have been very similar with one just topping the other and it has switched from week to week so neither is consistently better than the other. Two weeks there has been only 0.5 separating the scores. Basing one of those on their initial scores over the first show they were each in and one with a gap of 3.0 and the biggest gap has been 7.5 which was Movie week when Jen got 18.0 and Chemmy 10 and think last week was 1.0 or 1.5 between them and one week there was the duel so no scores. So they have been pretty equal so I think its unfair to say that Jen is a weak link, If anything her overall performances have been more consistent and her scores have been consistenly improving as well where as Chemmys have been more up and down week to week. Maybe that was part of Jorgies consideration when picking Jen first.
I wouldn't say Chemmy is 4th best outright in terms of performance Jen I would say is equal to Chemmy and the scoring certainly seems to indicate that. IMO the only weak link left is Andy who seems to be considerable weaker than all of the others and I guess none of them really wanted him in the team but someone had to get stuck with him.
Not convinced about the song choices. Don't really like the girls song choice and the boys could go either way the judges chose the routine last year that got the crowd going which YMCA probably would but hope the girls get the win.
