I have no issue with any of them winning btw, just the fact that it was so glaringly obvious that it was going to happen.”
Yes, I agree with you here. As you say last year was effectively decided by week 3 (if not before!) and whilst I'm not putting down Jay's clear dancing ability, it was, in a way, quite boringly predictable. Saying that, I wouldn't have been complaining if it had been GG destined to win from week three, but alas, twas not to be!
Here's a question - if Jay hadn't been in the competition last year, do we think Georgia would've won? I think our main competition would have been Mr 'I'm too sexy for my shirt' Savchenko judging especially by the tour results. It would've been a tight run thing I think!

Re Anton last year - as Katie (and arguably Anton as well!) was considerably weaker at Latin than ballroom they seemed to structure it in such a way whereby she got all of her weaker Latin dances out the way towards the start (i.e. when there was still much weaker contestants than her still in the show who were likely to get voted off) and left her stronger ballroom dances to the end. As you say, quite possibly a deliberate ploy to get Mr. Du Beke to the final!

Humph!! Just another reason for GG to get on with it - I'm warning them my brain can't cope with too many more not-an-engagement rings!

He collapses into the grave, is this not getting a little far fetched?!! What a palaver! Hope you all manage through it without the need for too many tissues, and that they start to calm the storylines down a bit!
