Seriously other contestants get nit-picked at for the slightest of things but Abbey however seems to get let off all the time and gets through with green lights.

She is good but not 100% perfect like the judges make out.

She looked awkward tonight and the dance wasn't even a salsa.

I like her, but if you replay the dance again you will see that Bruno was wrong; you can easily tell the difference between Abbey and the professional dancers. They were far more precise and energetic than Abbey.

Her and Patrick seem to be the favoured ones.

Ever since been in the bottom two they're both over marked week on week.

She does seem to get away with much more!

She doesn't have any persistent faults to keep being pulled up on. They can't bemoan her hands, or her neck, or her facial expressions, or her lack of 'connection'. She just makes a pretty good stab at every dance.

She is good but did not deserve the adulation she received tonight. Definitely the judges favourite

At times I thought her foot work was a bit iffy but that's my personal opinion of course.

Didn't see any awkward in that dance, even if it wasn't strictly salsa

That's actually really spot on, which makes her a great dancer.

There was no hip action tonight, no aggression in her paso, gapping in her quickstep, no romance in her rumba, and terrible kick and flicks in her jive. The judges missed all of that.

Her foxtrot and tango weren't bad.

Facial expressions? does she really have any ?

Every dance? were you away for her first latin or her woeful jive?
As for her QS; her gapping was only a minor distraction from her flapping elbow.

Agreed.

Persistant faults would be the same faults week in week out , I thought.

BIB, Blinkered a little maybe ?
