He may score lower but not necessarily better.”
Craig's scoring really annoyed me last year, as did some of Arlene and Len's. Alesha's VW shoud have got 40/40 instead of 38, and her paso shouldn't have got 4 nines with the messy end. She would have had the same total score if Craig and Arlene had given her 8s. And the same thing happened the following week with their better QS getting the same score as their AT.

I'm not a fan of Rachel but I thought her tango was fantastic. I'd rather it got 40/40 than the foxtrot which I honestly can't remember. I've always thought Zoe's tango was very overrated; I much prefer Rachel's.
I never understood the fuss about Matt Di Angelo's salsa. His best dance was the AS which I thought was much better than Gethin's, and one of the best American smooths on Strictly. But no-one talks about it - no-one talks about fabulous
ballroom dances, unfortunately
