PK in "Strictly Come Dancing II"


Whenever you hear the phrase 'PK', Cantonese-speaking people will automatically think of the curse word '仆街'.

However, the meaning I'm looking for is 'Player Killing'.

Before I define 'Player Killing', let's look at 'Player versus Player'.

*'Player versus Player' is competitive interaction within a game between two or more live participants. This term can be used to describe any game (dance competition) where players compete against each other.

*'Player Killing' is non-consensual 'Player versus Player', resulting in a character's death (elimination).

In "Strictly Come Dancing II", the competitor with the lowest total score of the night will have to come back and do the 'Player Killing' challenge, which is dance for their lives.

Kevin Cheng and Derek Kwok were in the bottom three; however, Derek had the lowest scores, and he will be dancing for his life.

All of the TVB girls are safe and will have to wait until April 25th to dance again.

The scores are calculated as follows:
Judges Average + Audience Average = Total Score

There is a total of 200 audience members. The number of viewers, for example, 193 means that 193/200 audience members voted for that contestant; however, those votes can range from 1-10.

The HK media didn't even do their homework; they kept saying that Kevin Cheng had the most votes. Yes, a lot of people voted for him, but they didn't necessarily give him high points. The live audience must have given him low scores because he was in the bottom three.

In this case, it would be better if not every audience member voted because they would really bring down the average.
