In reality the controversy over Strictly Come Dancing started long before anyone saw a dance floor this year! Accusations of ageism in the BBC, scheduling wars with ITV and we'd not even started with bad public voting!
Week 1 set off with some surprises, not least that the celebrities are largely at week 3, 4 and beyond level and having to do 2 dances straight off. You may recall every other year they have put many weeks in before tackling 2 dances and been told how difficult it's going to be then!
This year has high lighted to me that no-one should now get voted out in week 1. They should all get chance to do 2 weeks before anyone goes. It is such a tight competition, and many people have been willing Joe to do well it seems, and he suffered with nerves the most. He did however show potential and I think the public saw that. However, if it was purely on this week's performance he probably should have been out.
Some forums have people complaining about Len's decision to save Rav Wilding this week, but I agreed with him that Rav really improved in the dance off, and Martina Hingis didn't. Len was spot on there. Yes I may have preferred looking at and watching Martina, but Rav was a better dancer. He had more control, and generally better technique, performing what is arguably the hardest latin dance for the male celebrities.
