I am not sying that Ali was not in pain, I saw her limping onto the dancefloor, but her dance was weak and she was overmarked . If she had had a normal week and performed her dance they'd have had to invent new scores for her as the marked her so high. The marked Laila on whta she did the other week back, and yes, shes weaker but got 3s and 5s which was undeserved whereas they overcompensated Ali, marking her as if she had been able-bodied.

On the flip-side Ricky had the disadvantage of the rock and roll which were worse, I actuallly think he was in the right place on the board, but he was drastically undermarked. he was undermarked, as much as she was overmarked.

Chris was the best and should have been top.

looking at the incident where she 'sprained' he ankle didn't look major

Bruising bone is extremely painful. Bone pain is awful as it hurts like hell in that making you feel as if you are going to vomit way. So the actual incident may not have looked much but the injury was painful.

I was impressed she was able to dance at all. She was obviously still in pain.

It obviously wasn't "major", as she's been able to dance...but she clearly landed awkwardly, which must have done some damage to her foot.

It doesn't have to be a major incident to be sufficiently hurt. I ended up in plaster for a month because a turn on my ankle broke a bone. Limping around the house before going to the doctor (under protest because it didn't feel too bad, but was bruised), my Dad noted that it wasn't a doctor I needed, but a trainer!

On another point you made OP about Brian bumping into Ricky . I just watched it again and its hard to tell who bumped into who
But as soon as the dance was over Brian went straight over to Ricky and hugged him , you cant hear but it looked like and apoligy hug to me .

I dont know Abba, Ive rewatched it a few times, focusing on the different couples each time. Brian first bumped into Anton and then waltzed straight into Ricky who had his back turned so couldnt see Brian coming at him.

These are just your opinion, though. Mine is the opposite.

If the judges believed Ali and Brian to have danced the best on the night, then why not mark them as such?

I must say I thought Ali and Brian were amazing on Saturday night.
Yes, Chris and Ola were pretty amazing too.
Felt a bit sorry for Ricky, he seemed to have lost his mojo but I have no doubt he'll get it back.
Laila and Anton were delightful.
It was Natalie C's time to go but she did really well in the series and was a pleasure to watch. I will miss her.

OP - How can you 'hate' somebody you don't know?

If you can't see how that differs then there is something wrong.
