Zoe was better. She skated better and her lifts were more difficult and had more wow factor.
Roxanne seems to me though to be getting it right. More personality than most of them , obviously trying and getting better. Will take risks. Is doing teh dangerous lifts and is more confident on the ice. There's no sign Jessica is going to get much better on the personality, acting or risk fronts and Melinda stalled this week too so I would think its a positive week for Roxanne.
The long term might be promising. If they havn't banned them Zoe may be too tall for the headbangers and overhead lifts and Ray isn't strong enough to do the male equivalent. Jessica isn't that far ahead and should have done more by now if she could. Roxanne as far as you can tell from TV may be just the right size. Who is short and dares wins.
The marks are the way they are because they are not using 2s for people like Colleen and once they have given her 3 and Ray a 5 there's just not enough marks left to split Jessica, Zoe, Michael and Roxy that accurately.
