Seriously though, do you think they should have done their Jive again instead of the Paso? I think J&A thought they'd blown it, but if they'd danced the Jive it could have been a more relaxed night for them (relatively speaking).

No, quite happy to not see the Jive again, it's not my favourite dance of theirs, that would be the rumba which, as anyone whose seen me post on these boards for years will know I usually despise, followed by the Tango, the Paso, Charleston and the Salsa
The Jive was a perfect storm which was unlikely to be repeated so I'm quite happy to leave that as a memory and instead get a much improved Paso Doble. I'd have preferred to have seen the Tango or Charleston again but the stupid rules TPTB introduced where they couldn't pick a dance from the last 3 weeks ruled those out.

The three dances as a whole I love are Georgia's. First poll I didn't vote in because I didn't trust myself to be impartial. Kellie danced better in the first two, but the emotion of GG's rumba and showdance meant more to me. If I'd voted it would have been a dishonest vote for GG. They weren't better. I just loved their outlook more. This poll, even though I prefer their rumba and showdance, I did vote for GG because 'better' seems a more objective judgement.
But we'll all headline the couples depending on our priorities and personalities.
ETA haven't mentioned Jay here and it's not because I discount him. Over the series I've loved his dances and like his kookiness and a certain mental vulnerability that makes him endearing, but last night (in my view) wasn't his night”
At the end of the day we're told as the public, to vote for our favourite and so people do that. You'd have been well within your rights to vote for Georgia irrespective of whether you believed Kellie danced better because - at the end of the day - dance is subjective and based on emotionally connecting to what's happening on stage
For me that was Jay, I emotionally connected with each of his three quite radically different routines for different reasons. My professional head admires his technical ability, my emotional head loves the lyrical way he moves and my can't explain it, it just is head, finds him utterly captivating to watch performing.
