I agree with you - although whether you mean you think Stefan or someone else should have won I don't know. I felt that Gaynor only won series 1 because of Dan and I was rooting for Stefan who did great with the actual skating part and did the best 'props' performance (ever in my opinion). I wasnt' keen on Bonnie either as she seemed to rely on her partner and her dance experience and skated very little so we never found out whether or not she could.
With Zaarah it seems she should have the same advantage as Suzanne in being trained in dance but she doesn't seem able to capitalise on it the way Suzanne has, or to combine it with the tricky footwork and surety in her skating as Suzanne has (when choreography has allowed).
So while Chris has taken a solid skating base and added some great dancing - though not yet enough of a partnership to be a dead cert to win and Suzanne has added the skating skills to her dance prowess and Gareth is making steady progress in both skating and dance, it seems Zaarah hasn't lived up the the potential we saw in her first week.
So I think Zaarah will be next to leave as she doesn't have the wow factor of Chris's skating or of Suzanne's routines, nor has she shown the progression that Gareth has, which makes it hard to find a reason to vote for her.
