Anita could only have been third in the public vote (maximum) to end up in the dance off which is probably likely (after Jay and Georgia in all likelihood).
Also, I do think that having Georgia and Helen in the dance off the week before made people say the better dancers need to be in the final. And Anita was one of the two weaker ones - with Katie.

I agree with you on the bounce for Georgia though.

Good find that tweet, as I do give it more amount of credit to ithis tweet than just random comments (no offence to anyone, but you know what I mean)
.Anita did mention that at the start of the show Gleb did ask her about her favourite current song and she said it was one that was sampled in her salsa song so Gleb sort of made it happen for her (as the one she mentioned was wholy unsuitable for any of the strictly dances). But even then, I didn't think it was really his choice.
For the record, I do really like Gleb (personality wise I thing he is taking everything with humour), but ambivalent towards Anita (there are things I like of her, but the st Anita of the untrained, ungainly dancing and pulling faces puts me off).
My ideal final would have had Helen instead of Kellie and probably Anita instead of Katie, but the latter one I would not have mind either way.
