I think Antony Ogogo was considered contender material - until he hit the dance floor, that is.. So Oti wasn't giving and "obviously" hard ride - that''s just how it transpired. Unless the producers actively want her to have a longer run this year, I feel she will get Ed.
I hope Karen doesn't get him - she's paid her dues and now it is time she got an out-and-out contender. After four years on the show, she and her partner have twice been cast in the 'crowd pleasing' role and twice as the "It looked good on paper" couple.
