How about a change of marking ?
In ice skating they used to give one mark for technical merit and one for artistic impression, with 6.0 the maximum that could be awarded in each case.
One of the criticisms of the marking has been high marks for "dull" routines. At least a seperate mark for artistic impression could reflect the performance, rather than just the technique. In addition it would encourage the "pros" to push the envelope and devise more crowd-pleasing routines...which I am sure we would all enjoy.

I was thinking of adding a " degree of difficulty"..like they do in diving or gymnastics, but that would be too complicated. That was a joke, the first suggestion was serious.

I'd rather they give marks out of 20.
Or out of 100.

Or get them all 11 paddles but (it's been said before) only take the public vote into account.

OR the judges' vote counts for 25% only?
There are loads of options.

At the quarter final stage i think they should drop the dance off to stop the judges involvement so much

I'd support this idea as I suggested myself the other week on the ITT thread!

It could help us non-dancers see why the judges mark as they do sometimes (in theory ).

Give them paddles from 9.1 to 9.9, then there wont be so many arguments.
