Fair point, even if you take away the conflict I totally agree with you. Her and Shirley have been very OTT with their marking this year, even Bruno wasn't as bad! Worrying to see the show go down this route tbh, with the sob stories every time someone does a contemporary dance it's at risk of becoming just another reality show.
Judging panel needs to be overhauled - some ex's pro's are going to waste by not being included on the panel.
Motsi and Shirley are previous balloom champions....i agree though.....i think Motsi was OTT. I also think the couples choice section should be binned.....it clearly didnt help Michelle Visage and we only had two Argentine tangos all series ( one of the most popular dances with the public i think ) ....one from someone ( Alex ) who didnt even make the semis
and as for same sex couples ...i really hope that never happens in order to preserve the shows integrity
I think there is definitely an Anton factor but Emma was worthy of her place in the final regardless.
Also wouldn't have Oti down at the best female pro. She's brilliant as indeed they all are but Katya and Dianne are the ones who usually make a silk purse from a pigs ear IMO and both are great to watch.
I don't think there was an actual conflict with Motsi, but it's the appearance of a conflict that can be the issue. Hence why family members/spouses can be kept apart in workplaces. Her scoring all series was a shambles.
Its all about opinions ....i havnt seen enough from Dianne yet to see that shes better than Oti ( although she and Dev should never have been voted off and could have been contenders imo ). i agree that Katya really seems to think outside the box though and is slightly unhinged ...but she is great to watch
I also think Saffy was better overall than Emma and should have made the final. Emma couldnt dance latin
