If they could have done a Rumba which showed how much Chris had improved since the first one (ie. the hands and hips), then Ola would have been right to go with Chris's wishes. Chris danced at the same level and the routine was less good.
His AT was reasonable, less technique, but looked a bit more passionate than Ali's.
Ricky danced better than his first waltz, but comparing the two, the first was very good too.
His AT wasn't as good as Mark's or Rachel's, but good enough to warrant a comparison.
Ali's AT was technically good, but she seemed to be struggling with nerves most of the way through it, and only started to look comfortable near the end.
Her AS was very smooth and a great routine by Brian, with only a couple of miniscule hesitations by Ali.
Dancewise, there's no argument to be made, Ricky deserved to be in the final, and so did Ali.
I would like Chris to show more improvement in the dances he does in the final. The gap between him and Ricky looked as big as ever last night.
I have watched SCD since Series 1.
