I loved the dance. She was bloody brilliant and when you consider they couldnt train for two days (something the BBC didnt really touch on much) she was extraordinary.

Overmarked!

Considering she has an ailment, Ali did ever so well tonight.

But I still don't get properly excited when she dances and I soon forget her performance when it's over.

It wouldn't surprise me if she won and it wouldn't be a travesty. But she'd probably be my least favourite winner to date.

YAY, she's been my fave from the start....and her and Brian are the sweetest couple!

I really hope they win

I'd love to see her win. For me she is the whole package. She's a really good dancer, has a wonderful relationship with her partner, is sweet and natural and humble and hasn't had an easy ride to get to this stage of the competition.

Her one failing has always been giving a strong performance during her dancing and she did that tonight.

I can see her winning - and i hope she does!

Rather than just step up you could say step on! Which is what they did twice in the VW yet no-one commented and she wasn't - as she should have been - marked down. Watching it again on it was clear that they cut right into the centre of the floor, in so doing blocking both Laila and Anton and then Ricky and Natalie. And then they finished the dance several seconds before the end of the music! I like her enormously but that was quite surprising tonight and I still think Ricky is the better all-round dancer. And, frankly, I'd give him extra votes for running over a paparazzi scum........!!!!!!!!!!!

I want either Ali or Ricky to win. They are both wonderful dancers and tonight Ali was the best. She did great
