Carol & Pasha are an endearing partnership, Pasha has actually choreographed some very nice routines, and Carol has applied herself well.
Jeremy and Karen, meanwhile, are adding even more by way of entertainment value

And, to be fair, it's only
WEEK TWO!!!! (of the dance-offs).
Good God. This is like a week 7 thread!!!!
There are others in the competition who haven't made much progress yet aside from Carole and - I repeat -
IT'S ONLY WEEK RUDDY TWO, NOT WEEK SIX/SEVEN!

Indeed.
It's a pity people don't get this basic concept.
I call it the 'Big Brother' syndrome. People from that background tend to think that contestants get booted off when actually, it is about positive voting and as long as people 'vote for their favourites' (which is what we're urged to do every week) then whoever are the 'most favourites' of that weekend (combined with the judges' scores) will remain.
And ....
IT'S WEEK TWO, NOT WEEK SIX/SEVEN. (Just thought I'd throw that one in free of charge).
