Wait till you see Louis' etc. Is the first suddenly going to be scintillating on some relative scale. No. Liking is instantaneous, direct and personal. It has nowt to do with relative judgement.

Apologies to the lovely HW who just happened to be there...

I don't undertstand that either
It's an entertainment show, and surely it is a personal thing whether you are entertained by a couple or not.
I can't warm to Denise - it's nothing to do with her being a so-called pro (she has danced professionally, but you could say the same of Kimberly and Dani - yet none of the 3 have been trained in ballroom or latin dancing), it's purely a personal thing. If she won, I would accept that and not be upset at all - it's a game show, and if my favourite doesn't win, so be it - it means that I'm not in the majority. I don't hate Denise, I'm not 'jellus' of Denise - she just doesn't ring my bells.
On the other hand, bringing it back to Lisa, I can see that she is not the most technically perfect, but I can also see that she is working on that, she is having an absolute ball and she is very very entertaining!
It's all down to personal taste and very subjective.
I admit my fave is Michael, but that is because I've been a fan of his for years, and I think he has had the most improvement since the start. We can like more than one contestant, but a lot of posts on the forum don't seem to recognise that!
And *breathe*
