You are absolutely right . I deliberately didn't touch on the grammar aspect

I went to a grammar school in South Wales and had a very old fashioned, pedantic English teacher who taught us excellent grammar .
She often used to have us stand up and tell a joke inperfect English

" There was this man .."
" What man ?"

I recall her asking one girl why her spoken English was so poor when her written English was so good , the reply was;
"They do make fun of you if you do talk proper where I do come from "

That says much I think .

Would you rather have Miss Dull v Mr Dull then.

I'm not sure either of his dances were special enough to earn a 10 but I sense there was pressure to make it seem like this was a high quality quarter final.

But compared to Ali, no his marks were fair. He was better than her in all departments and she had already been given 9's (goodness knows why).”

I think you're right. The judges left themselves nowhere else to go by marking Ali's ballroom so high.

I think her AT might be the worst of the 3 because of her lack of passion and what somebody has named her 'limpitude'.
