[Candy Annie Cane]

I knew Chris would win, I wanted Sarah but also thought JB would have been worthy.

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
