it’s hard to judge. The judges are sometimes too critical, whereas the general audience is voting for their favorites. Sure, I get that, but I agree that Gilles should have lasted longer than Emmett. It’s not that Emmett isn’t good, but he cannot compare with Gilles’ ability. Guess it’s his popularity, or maybe even Cheryl’s, who seems to be a favorite among the pros. Looks like this is just another example of "it’s not what you know, but WHO," cause Emmett does have a huge fanbase with the football fans and players.
Kirstie was no surprise, but she handled it very well. I think Maks was more disappointed than Kirstie. I hope he gets a chance next season to showcase his amazing talent by getting a great dancing partner. Seems he always gets the short end of the stick.
