Which just goes to show that the Beeb didn't think things through.
Every series has had shocks and if anyone had thought about it for even two minutes, they would have realised that the judges would be in the embarrassing position of voting off dancers that they had given high marks to.
They could - as is possible this week - even end up having to choose between two dancers that they keep praising and have saved at least once in previous rounds. In both Penny and John's cases (who both seem to have little PUBLIC support i.e outside this forum ), the judges have saved them both TWICE! Against better dancers like Gabby
