For Raygun, she had to do three dance battles in a field of eight women

I found this strange. He said himself that she had to do 4, and then just...discounted one of them, for some reason? It was a field of 15, that got cut down to 8 in a process he didn't explain, except to say that it wasn't the normal group stage.

I'd add a third important bullet point to your summing up: that the points system breaking uses is not necessarily just rewarding the flashiest physical dancing. And that while she is bad, she's not necessarily as bad compared to other dancers—within the point system used—as you might expect as a complete amateur watching her and watching some other Aussie.

He discounted the preliminary dance, I assumed because it was not a battle. But I'm not going to go back and check. It wasn't that interesting. 😀
