I think this elaborates my thoughts nicely (thanks claire

) and I think started on ITT and finished on the show. It didn't matter though who was in the dance off with Christine as long as Lisa was at the top of the leader board - wish I'd put money on it happening.

Good God. I never thought of that.

Oooh, they're cunning those judges

I can see that happening...

It will depend on the order of the couples dancing...

Lets work on this supposition... if Rachel and Vincent go first (with their tango? in the ballroom round) then what happens if they have a mediocre dance .... do the judges judge here with 9s or maybe a 10 (or two) to make sure she is in contention because when it comes to the latin round this year, the Char chars... havent been as strong as in previous years....? It would be interesting to see how they judge the guys. I think Austin as American Smooth which I can foresee being good....

Me thinks that the judges will have major dilemmas.

I cant wait to see what the judges will do....

I really think the dance off should be toast now we've <finally> arrived at the final 4.

In the middle of all the Sargent-hysteria Arelene, when asked, said her preferred final 4 would be the 4 we now have.

The culmative points show only 14 points difference between the bottom scorer (Lisa/Brendan) with 330 over the 10 dances, and the top scorers (Austin/Erin) with 344 and Rachel/Vincent are second with 343 with Tom/Camilla third with 339.*

From the judges point of view, it would seem there isn't really that much to choose between them and so I do think that now who stays and who goes should be on the combined/public vote alone.

This week I definately think the judges made sure Lisa would be at the top of the leader board as they don't think she should be in the dance off again.
