Georgia's equal lowest was her jive from week 1. But instead, she was given her week 2 dance - the rumba, which was far worse. Her jive was actually delightful.
I'm not screaming 'conspiracy', but someone definitely wasn't thinking this through.
Had they had these two dances, I'm pretty sure that GG would have been on top going into the SD. And it would have made a better contrast for her. Although had she scored 10's, there would have then been the argument 'oh, but that wasn't as good as J's' etc. etc.
I don't quite get how Darcey reconciles her comments to J "you're my number one" with comments to the effect that KK should have won (or at least, not contradicting Craig).
Len was all over the place - his script got totally scrambled. He was thrilled with J's FT up to the point where it went wrong. After the Salsa, it was comment to the effect that he'd been waiting to see something as good as the jive, and J had now produced it. Tango, he thought it was fantastic, although with a couple of foot faults. Then suddenly in the Rumba, he says he's not been convinced previously by J as a dancer but now he's convinced (well, then what was he saying for the past two dances?). VW didn't go too well so he was unimpressed and apparently making sure the right people went through to the final. Then in the final, apparently J's been the 'most consistent'. Craig might have been the most persistent in not liking J all that much, but Len could never seem to remember where he was with his storyline. Although that's par for the course with Len.”

Agree with all this TT
Len in particular irritated me massively after the foxtrot with his nonsensical comments.
