I have to say I don't think those marks were undeserved. It wasn't polished, but IMO the routine was better than both Ricky G's and Natalies, so I thought the marks were fair. As an aside regarding Craig's comment (I don't like to get into this, as no one can fairly comment on someone else's injury) I have played hockey on a broken ankle before - painful, ill-advised, but manageable, whereas just over a week before when I'd done it, I couldn't walk due to the pain and swelling. So not inconceivable, though as I say, different injuries, different people. I'm not ruling out that there isn't something suspicious but I personally believe that it was genuine.
Much as I am a fan of Anton's, I think it is nearly their time; unless they can produce a dance that meets its potential soon (ie Viennese Waltz, which was so nearly there, Paso, which would have been very high scoring if not for the ilegal lift), they will be gone. And next weeks dances don't look like the type of dance they can do well in. Though I live in hope!!
