Strictly Result - Chizzy's Elimination

I don't usually feel the need to write anything after the results show. The judges generally make the correct decision. But last night's decision to save Brian Conley over Chizzy Akudolu is completely wrong in my opinion.

I wasn't exactly been a fan of Chizzy's two performances. Chizzy has a big personality, and I guess that is what Pasha was trying to showcase in their numbers. I found that this presented Chizzy as a bit of a show-off - 'The Chizzy Show' - rather than their numbers being a partnership.

However, Chizzy danced her steps correctly and in time with the music. Her technique wasn't great, but being able to remember the steps and dance them in time with the music are the most important elements to begin with. The technique can be improved with time.

Brian's tango in week 1 was just OK. But the cha cha was terrible. He forgot the steps in places, and was out of time. This was most noticeable on the flick ball-changes at the beginning when he was side-by-side with Amy. Nothing shows up timing errors more than side-by-side sections.

The dance-off is supposed to be the performance upon which the couples are judges. So when one celebrity is noticeably out of time and making mistakes like Brian did, why didn't he go home?

I really don't get it.
