Harry will want those 10's and he knows with Aliona's choreo he's very unlikely to get one from Len
You can see that Harry does listen to the judges and imo has some concern that Aliona may damage his chances (I'm not saying they don't get on etc, but as demonstrated imo by the fact he shushed her, when she was going to defend herself after Len criticised her choreo and him immdeiately trying to cover her flippant remarks on ITT etc) you can clearly see he's aware it could be detrimental to him.”

Exactly what I said to my OH.




I dont like the fact he always picks on Aliona.

I think the biggest insult in terms of choreo tonight actually came from Alesha! The fact she said I'm not going to penalise you for the choreography is pretty much what the others were thinking, but it seemed a little awkward to watch imo especially as poor Aliona just had to stand there and take it
We don't get the full picture so quite a lot is possibly speculation, but imho, comments like that from Len will likely plant seeds of doubt in Harry.
