Agree. It was good, sure, but really not
that good. And nowhere near as her rumba.
I think Rachel is definitely being protected. She was most at risk this week as she was the judges' favourite last week - hence them scoring her so high that she'd be safe this week, when the public are out for revenge. Plus we still don't know if she was in the dance-off two weeks ago because the public didn't think she needed support, or if the public just aren't taken with her ...
This tactic may get her to the final, but I would wager that it will backfire on the producers - the public don't like the judges going OTT about someone they don't connect with ... and, from what I've heard people I know say, and what other people have already posted on here, I rather suspect that is the case.
*waits for brickbats*
Another stupid move by the producers ...
