.[/QUOTE]As cousins, they do have an unfair advantage since they've had many years experience. They never paired 'Allison and Travis' or 'Dmitry and Heidi' together. Why didn't they ? Because it's an unfair advantage for a couple like say 'Ivan and Ashlee' or 'Ryan and Joy' who have never danced together.
If they chose their partners randomly then fine. It was a fluke. But if the producers have anything to do with this it's very unfair.[/QUOTE]
I think this is pretty unfair to Benji and Heidi - they both made the finals on their own merits and deserve their places in the final 4 (IMO). Partner names are drawn out of a hat each week and on 1 occasion they were drawn together. Are they to be penalized for both being so strong and being related?
