I think Marie was right, people thought she was totally safe so they voted for other people they thought might be going. I never voted for her because I thought everybody else would be. Shows that was a bad policy because unlike AI, they seem to actually do a real vote.

Does the public voting just get ranked? Because I can't figure out how they use the public voting with the three judges votes.

Here's the wierd formula they use (taken from their website):

THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES:

Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public's votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.

For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:

Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%

In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated.

In Week One of competition, the procedure above is slightly different as we have two performance shows on consecutive nights and the audience size could be significantly different on each night, putting those competing on the night with less viewers at a disadvantage. In this week, the six dancers on Night One will have their share of the judges scores given that night with their share of the phone, online and text-in votes gained that same night, creating a total share for each couple. The six couples dancing on Night Two will have their share of the judges points given on NIGHT TWO with the share of public votes (phone, online and text-in votes) given on NIGHT TWO, creating a total share for each couple. The couple that will be eliminated on Wednesday's show will be the couple who had the lowest total share across both nights of competition.
