Because some as I do, get behind a contestant who has made improvements over the series,who listen to their partner and show they have and are learning.

From week one Debbie and Alexandra have been proficient as to the routines.
Others like Davood,Gemma and Mollie have improved.
Joe has come on really good too.

So someone learning and improving warrant my support and despite the lower marks,even the Judges state Mollie is improving all the time AND listening to advice given.

That too warrants support.

Debbie and Alexandra for me, have rested a little as to the high point at the start.
For me too built up at the start too.

Now they are making errors, as pointed out the last 2 weeks even by the Judges.
So in effect they are a little worse than the start, while the others getting better.
That's another factor that needs consideration in any competition.

Mollie has improved a lot as a dancer, week 11 is a good achievement for her, at least she outlasted the ones who were weaker than her ;)

and made it to all the themed weeks :love:

Mollie does well for herself and her fans, i'd say nothing to lose anymore from now on :D

But none of them had the dancing experience they need to do the type of dancing that is required of them on the show.
I don't think the likes of Debbie for example has 'rested' at all, or became 'worse' from the start. For goodness sake, - she is nearly 60 and I wouldn't blame her if she was flagging a little bit at this stage - would you? She's keeping going though, not giving in, and still producing great efforts. That Argentine Tango was a triumph imo!
I think that the more natural dancers like her just have a few certain dances, like they all do, that aren't as suited to them as others and again the more 'natural' dancers like her are judged more harshly and every little error highlighted by the judges as a lot more is expected of them.

ALL of the dancers have had up and down weeks, that is because not all dances suit every person. Regardless of it all, Debbie, Joe, Alexandra and Davood are still the best dancers in a dancing competition. Someone other than one of them winning would be a nonsense result. I fully believe one of them will win, because the public always understand and get this particular competition right, to date anyway.

Personally, I'd love Joe or Debbie to win. Joe because he had no experience like you said and his dances are just amazing now, so professional - he has found within himself something he excels at and it's brilliant to watch; and Debbie because as a near 60 year old she is just such an inspiration and a shining light as to finding something in yourself that you can do at any age, no matter what that something may be, and just bloody well giving it your all and going for it especially in the latter stage of your life when your youth and all it's promise is so far behind you. Bravo to her!!!
