No disrespect to Ali, I thought she was good and I know she's had a tough week but Chris and Ola's Charleston was much better imho. It was the dance of the series for me, and im going to vote for them for the first time this series.

Why is Ali so favoured?

Behave.

I actually preferred Ali and Brian's, no disrespect to Chris, but I was watching Ola more than him.

Alesha needs to have her 10 paddle permenantly removed from her

Excuse me?

Totally agree...I was not blown away with her dance at all....and Alesha really does need to shut up!!!

agreed

I did feel Ali was given far more lee way for her injury than any other competitor...

Chris & Ola's seemed to have far more content, lifts etc....

Also Ali just stood there for 25% of the dance with her arms waving.... just not the same fun factor or content....

But then, what do I know!

Amen to that!

It's all very serious, I prefer to watch people having fun knowing it could be their last dance, Ali knows if she's in the bottom 2 they will save her............I hope she don't win, they are far to boring IMO

She's a blondie girlie. Blondie girlies always get patted on the head and told they're clever, when all they do is stand still and smile.

I am heartily sick of talk of her 'injuries'. If her ankle was so painful, she wouldn't have been sitting in the Tesspit with her gammy leg crossed over the other with said injured ankle hanging in mid air.

We preferred Chris & Ola's dance.

She's just incrediably wet imo. She's made mistakes a few times and got away with it, but they lay into Ricky when he does it. Why is that?

I much prefered watching Chris and Ola's dance as an entertainment.

Whether it was technically correct i don't know.

Defintely Chris and Ola!!

I tuned in late and missed Chris and Ola, but I was more impressed by Laila and Anton's Charleston - and I never thought I'd say that.

I haven't thought that Ali was overmarked until tonight, but I also feel Laila and Anton deserved higher marks.

I am not a fan of either couple.

I do think Chris is a weird creepy little man. Given that even I had to admit he did a very good job with the Charleston and was definately undermaked.

By the same token I am heartily sick of the favouritism shown to Ali. This week was no exception. Her dance was not awful but it wasn't better than Chris n Ola's. Her marks this week were a travesty.

I liked both dances

Chris didn't have much of the key steps, his face was dancing another story, his lifts were nothing like as gymnastic and the arms waving bit was drawn from the "We both reached for the gun" routine in Chicago.

The judges seem to favour Ali. Whilst everybody else slips up and gets marked down for it, Ali can do no wrong.

Alesha also needs replacing ASAP. Chris's group dance was worth more than a 7, and Ali's group dance was NOT perfect by any means. Also, what criteria does Alesha have to judge a dance she has never performed before?

Absolute joke.

I didn't like Ali's dance at all - much preferred Chris and Ola, and even Leila, who I don't really like.

I'm getting totally fed up with all this over-the-top praise and marking of Ali though. It's really starting to get on my nerves.

I really liked laila and Anton.

Thought Chris and Ola's was fab

Brian and Ali are my favourite throughout this whole competition and think they deserved 4 9's
I don't know anything about dance but i think the reason Brian and Ali got more was because they did more technical steps? who knows

I thought Chris and Ola's dance was wonderfully entertaining, but even I could see that Ali and Brian's was much better technically.

I was shocked at the praise lavished on Ali and Brian. I didn't enjoy it at all - Chris and Ola and Laila and Anton were both much better and more entertaining for me.

I am sick of Alesha handing out undeserved 10s. I do hope this the only series she ever judges.

I preferred Chris's as well, but I really enjoyed all the Charlstons, for me the rock 'n' roll went a bit flat, well, a lot flat, as I didn't really like any of them.
