lump both the public’s reaction to actual dancing talent and any additional insight into character the public see brought out by The Dance as developing.
This is the bit I disagree with, I think. Kimberley, always a fab dancer, wasn't getting votes until something bad happened to her and people saw a more vulnerable side to her character. I don't think Victoria lost votes for not being a good dancer, but for being a whiner. Similarly I think Michael gained votes because he was seen to be working his guts out, rather than because he got all that much better. But all this is my interpretation only and could be wrong.
I didn't see the Sergeant series so can't comment on that.
It's certainly true by the time of the two semis and finals I've seen, the people who lasted through popular vote or character (Gavin, Pamela, Alex, perhaps Chelsee) were voted down in favour of the best dancers (Kara and Harry). So if that trend lasts, it'll be Denise or Dani.
