Why not, if you think they were the best?
Don't get this way of thinking at all.

Because I'm judging her from a point of objectivity. Her dance was excellent.

That said, she doesn't engage me as a person - which I factor into my vote.

Not sure why I have to qualify it, but, there you are

I'd imagine as she is a trained dancer who has been on other shows judging and critiquing various dance styles. She should be good and really it's stupid she is on the show in the first place

Fair enough.
Still don't get it really, but everyone's different I suppose. I barely engage with people on an emotional level in real life, let alone celebs I've barely heard of.
I just judge whether the dancing's any good or not.

For me there's a difference between who was technically the best and who entertained me the most. I'll always vote for who I found the most entertaining but I will happily admit that at times if I placed them in order of who danced best they may not necessarily be at number one. If that makes sense And of course people have different reasons for voting.

Not too hard to grasp. I vote for those who are enjoyable on and off the floor - I mean at the end of the day, it's a reality tv programme. Louise is gorgeous on the floor but I find her a bit bland. Pleasant, but bland.

It doesn't to me ( sorry! ) but I know we all watch SCD for different things and vote for different reasons.
I found Rob "Judge" Rinder really entertaining this week and last week but it's only because he is a good dancer. As cute and funny and loveable as he is ( and he really is all of those things) he would certainly not have got my vote tonight if he wasn't also a pretty good dancer, too.
It's all about the dancing ability for me. Comedy choreography and characterisation is only entertaining to me if accompanied by outstanding dancing.
Individuals personalities or characters are immaterial to me.

Well it probably helps that I never find bad dancing entertaining

Wanted to rewatch the dances before posting a ranking...
