Why did the judges rate Lisa Snowdon so highly? |

Lisa's Cha Cha was as good as Alesha's Cha Cha technically i.e. fairly crap.
Lisa's was insipid, limp and appallingly overmarked. No contest between the two of them. |

Now then. I usually post anonymously here. In real life, I am Space Commander Travis, so I was hoping you could do your old partner in crime a favour...
How was the it fixed for Lisa to progress at Oz's expense? I was a huge fan of Oz, but on the night, Lisa's best dance did seem better than either of Oz's. He didn't get stitched up with dodgy dances either - the AS should have been a "banker" for good marks given his previous ballroom efforts. I know Brendan got some stick for focusing on only one dance, but if you expect to be in the DO then that's shrewd tactics. Or was it simply that the decision was taken to have a DO with only 4 pairs left, which gives the judges huge leeway to engineer a particular pair into the bottom 2? *rolls eyes then smirks whilst holding red metal flower then flounces round office* I refer you to my previous post: Lisa's cha cha, devoid of character or sass. Overmarked. Massively. And I wonder why ... |

Whatever it lacked in technique, Alesha'a Cha Cha had bags of character.

I like this version of it best with comments from the interweb pasted over. Are some of them from here?

A bunch of childish comments from sniggering twelve-year-olds. It got a standing ovation in the ballroom. I also liked the music - from Cavalleria Rusticana I think.

Alesha wasn't a judge during that series...
I'd forgotten the whole Bleakley stuff. Yes that got very heated. Lovely clip and they both were great. Thanks ![]() |

I still can't see what the judges saw in her. She was good, but I wouldn't say she was the best in her year (Tom, Austin and Rachel were better). Nor would I say series 6 was a particularly strong year - series 5 and 8, for me, are much stronger years in terms of female talent; I'd suggest series 10 and 11 are stronger years as well. I'd say (off the top of my head) that Alesha, Kelly, Gabby, Kara, Pamela, Denise, Kimberley and Natalie are all stronger dancers than Lisa. I'm not sure Lisa even comes into my 'Top 10' female contestants.
What sums up the (to me) farcical way the judges wet themselves over Lisa in series 6 actually lies in series 7. All of the series 6 Top 4 returned during series 7 - Tom returned to reprise his showdance in the first episode of series 7; Austin performed with Erin (and the other professionals) when the cast of Hairspray were the musical guests; and Rachel and Lisa did a guest slot in the final, performing (respectively) a tango and a something to Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves. Tom, Austin and Rachel were as good, if not better, than in series 6 (Tom and Austin seemed more relaxed, maybe because they didn't have the pressure of competing; Rachel was scarily precise and sharp, as sharp if not sharper than she was in he Argentine Tango). Lisa was quite possibly drunk. |
