Seen a couple of negative threads about Mark and the dance off, and wanted to readdress the balance.
I thought Ben had one of his best dances this week, and improved a lot in 'dancing personality', and good for him, it was great to see. But, saving Mark was the right decision.
1) Ben made quite a few very obvious mistakes in the dance off, much more than Mark.
2) They are pretty comparable technically speaking, both having different strengths and weaknesses. For me, Mark has the edge as he has natural timing and rhythm.
3) Mark generally does more dance content than Ben, and generally dances it better. Most of Bens routines consist of throwing Christina around and being a prop for her to distract the audience.
4) Mark actually does an 'ok' job at basic footwork. I've not seen Ben attempt much footwork.
5) Mark does 'dance personality' better than anyone in the competition, imo. He always makes me smile.
I've never understood the Ben hype or his scores, but he seems like a nice bloke. Mark looked more shocked than anybody to be saved. Ben was gracious is defeat.
Well done to both of them
