However, I just don't think you can take away Chris' achievement. For a blind person who has never seen the steps he was asked to perform so has no point of reference on how they should be done other that being shown through feel and word, his achievement was nothing short of outstanding.

If all the other dancers closed their eyes to learn the dances, they would still be at an advantage as they have seen the steps performed before.

I think saying it's a sympathy vote is a pretty basic response....possibly admiration at his tenacity and determination...but I don't know one person who has expressed sympathy towards Chris.

And....he danced better than a lot of the sighted contestants. Particularly in ballroom

Nobody is taking away the fact that Chris's standard is impressive for a blind person, at least I hope nobody is anyway.

I do personally think though that Chris was starting to become one of the three worst dancers in the competition after Paul Merson got eliminated.
