Heavenly I am referncing you too , what was there of car crash in well - executed steps, as the judges noted and a well presented routine ? she can only dance as well as she can what she is taught , Kevin too on this occasion. In my opinion it was the routine the judges disliked.
I like Susanna , I think she has shown real progress over the weeks and should have had 10s for her Waltz as well as her Paso , as did Karen Hardy on ITT.
She made mistakes in the QS and took on the chin and she admitted she didnt get the cha and good for her .
I thought they were dealt a rum deal with that awful tune( as was Sophie) and the routine, choreographed no doubt, not by Kevin, but by AT experts, made a possibly ill- advised attempt to reference the original Jackson dance, but there was plenty of AT steps and I do think it was intense and passionate.
Susanna danced well what she had been taught and so should be marked accordingly, as is the case for all celebrities.
It is a very difficult area; are we judging dance or dancer? the judges certainly often judge neither but score in terms of how they want the leaderboard to look,all except Craig who usually citres actual dancing errors.Even heallows errors for some but not others.
I think they should consider watching all the dances, commenting after each but then score at the very end of the sho.In that way they could get the board in the right order for the night , best to weakest
dancersnot routines.
It would show up favouritism more easily too
