That's Chris's journey, he has been an awful contestant that has killed the quality of the year in a multitude of different ways, most notably the competition side of the Show has been butchered because people were voting for him before he'd even spoke a word on the Show, absolute joke imo.

And yes I am taking it seriously when I'm watching a Show that I have been a fan of since I was a child, be a waste of time watching even an episode of the series because the public had already decided who they were going to vote for to win well in advance.

Plus it was a waste of time for the other contestants even bothering to rehearse, because the public will just vote for Chris because they want to feel good about themselves for voting for a blind contestant as the winner.

I really do think that there needs to be a discussion from the BBC about if disabled contestants need to be banned off of the Show, nearly every year the judges treat them with kiddie gloves, and most of the time the public aren't much better, unless it's Tasha for some reason.

Imo we should be voting for who we like the best (that could be in a number of different ways) but because someone is blind is unfair to the other contestants, I mean didn't people used to go mad when some viewers used to admit to voting for contestants because they came from their hometown?

As Joey Swoll would say, we need to do better.

Don't agree at all.

I thought he''d last a couple of weeks, then I saw him dance. His footwork is perfect. If he wins, and there's no guarantee he will, he will have won on merit. Tasha is a lovely dancer and she should be, having been previously trained. That's what an unfair advantage is and that's why she won't win. Rose Ayling Ellis won not because she was deaf, but because she learned to dance. If Chris wins it will be for the same reason. Personally, I don't think he will, but he definitely deserves to be in the final.

People talk about his disability because it must be so difficult to teach someone to dance who can't see. Where would you start? He's an inspiration.
