To win when not the best, you have on past experience to be enthusiastic and funny, and or have a journey story, or just be a hunk with a short trip who can dance in the top 4, or you need to have a real vote winner stored up and get to the final to use it. Susanna is enthusiastic, but she hasn't got the biceps, the journey or the humour, or a 40 dance stored away. Ashley should be in contention - but he needs more time to train and the judges want Patrick in the last 3. On the other hand, Natalie, Abbey and Patrick, may all have vote problems and Sophie's vote is unknown, and she will go out to any of them if in the bottom 2.
We may find out a lot more tonight. Though results may be shaped by the music. Natalie seems to have been given the worse song of the night, by a very big margin, watching it all for the first time.
