This basically shows Anita & Gleb were the third most popular couple (assuming this remotely reflects the public interest). It was also consistent with the votes for favourite dance (a separate analysis). Basically in the semi-final because Kellie came top in the Judges Vote and Anita second from bottom, Anita's popularity wasn't enough to prevent her from being in the dance off. Then the Judges voted Anita off (although she was the third most popular dancer).

There always seemed to be a comment about her elegance and I think a lot of them envied Katie in her beautiful dresses and her long legs.
