Exactly. Tess always asks one of the judges every week.."what does X have to do to stay in ?". If the real answer to that question is.."nothing, we've made our minds up already" there's no point in a dance-off. it's basically just trimmings to pad-out the show.
I'm not against keeping the best dancer in the show, but just do away with the pretence. They are not even consistent are they ? Pixie Lott was far more talented than Peter Andre, but in her case she was eliminated because of one mediocre performance after several outstanding routines.
