Although we can't be sure he was top overall, I think Chris would have avoided a dance-off.

Who would the judges have saved between Ricky and Ali?

(I can't remember which of their 2 dances count for DO- Best or worst scoring)

On last night's performance? Ooof, I dont know because both Ali and Ricky were dressed in their ballroom gladrags...a 47 vs a 50. *shrugs*

I think though, after the AT performances they had done previously, the judges would have put Ricky through.

I would have rated Ricky's AT ahead of Ali's:
Hers didn't look sharp enough.

Ballrooms?
couldn't chose!

Chris would definitely have been in the dance off.
There are six possible orders for the audience vote:
ACR ARC RAC CAR RCA CRA

The first four are impossible because in the first two Ali would obviously have stayed, in the third Chris would have gone and in the fourth Ricky would have gone.

The last two give scores of:
Ricky 6, Chris 3, Ali 3 and Ricky 5, Chris 4, Ali 3

So based on last night's voting it would have been an Ali/Chris dance-off and pretty clearly Chris would have gone.

I think Craig and Bruno would've saved Ali, Darcey and Alesha Ricky, and after his comment, Len's casting vote would've saved Ricky.

Thank God it didn't happen or it would've been all claws out comments again....

Hard to predict, but I'm going to anyway. Ricky.

I think the judges would've saved Ricky.

It would have been Ali's AS vs. Ricky's AT. Both marked the same except for Craig, so I reckon he would have saved Ali. When the judges give 10's you can't really know which one they thought was better, but I reckon the other 4 would have saved Ricky.

Part of me wishes that had happened just to listen to the judges ranting about the 2 best dancers being in the dance-off. Of course, if they had still had the dance-off Chris would have been out so glad they didn't.

I think what we're forgetting is that Ricky's AT was amazing the first time and he is always sensational in the dance off. (Think Rock N Roll) He would've probably not made the stumble whilst walking down the stairs the second time

Really wish it was an Ali and Ricky final but I've just given up with this series.

That almost makes me wish there had been a dance off and that he'd been in it Can you imagine if he'd up his game by as much as the RnR dance off, I'd probably have needed a bucket of cold water

LOL, same! and that's saying something!!

I would expect it to be Ricky because he was the best dancer.
