I agree that Anita was way better than Jamelia BUT....
I never understand when analogies like this are made. If it were the case that all couples danced before being scored, of course, you would see a much better (and realistic) spread of scores. However, this is not the case. It is clear (and expected) that the judges will not review the scores for earlier dances to judge the one they have just watched, if that makes sense. In this case, these two couples danced one after the other which proves this. They mark on what they have just watched REGARDLESS - as it should be.
I've seen posters complain when one of the judges scores the first dancer the same as the last though one may be marginally worse. Though this is the worst case scenario, does anyone really expect the judges to think back to the beginning of the show, remember what they scored the first couple and base their vote on the last on that information? No, me neither...
I think you've just got to keep a realistic perspective on these things...
