Against that possibility of change, people tend to retain feeling more than thought. Ore's climb up that graph comes from two dances (the sumptuous AS and then that jive with all the audience reaction and judge response). He might have (he
has had) weeks of lesser impact since then but they're still two dances that were game-changing and that feeling stays current in the brain, though it'll fade of course if he never does another decent thing...
His up and down is by definition more impactful than for the contestants who have been consistently good or consistenly excellent or comedic, or whatever that consistent thing is.
I might be trying to persuade myself now tbh
But 'journey' really is a Thing
