3 of favourite dances being couples choice, removes what little credibility this series has left as a dance competition. We have a grand final with only one ballroom dance out of the 9 being performed. Shouldn't the judges be choosing the weakest dances rather the strongest dance as their choice?

The whole show needs a complete revamp. I'd sack Shirley and remove Couple's Choice which is just random nonsense. I'd bring the Showdance to the semi-final and make the finalists do one new dance, their worst dance and their own choice in the final. Every contestant should have to do a minimum of a Waltz, a Foxtrot, a Tango and a Quickstep by a certain point in the series - say QF. I'd have everyone have to choose to do either a Rumba or an Argentine Tango (the 2 hardest no ballroom dances if marked properly) but not both, no later than the SF.

Tens should be awarded for nothing less than a professional-level dance. We should expect to see marks as low as three on a regular basis.
