Rose Ayling Ellis was a brilliant dancer, the best of her year. Her deafness only matters to people who didn't want her to win, for some reason.

John and AJ were both better dancers than Rose in that year imo, their routines were less repetitive I thought personally.

And I do believe that Rose got extra votes due to sympathy, in fairness to Rose and the other disabled contestants, they aren't the only ones on Strictly to ever get a sympathy vote (Hamza had it in his year) and according to one poll that I've seen tonight, it looks like Balvinder might be getting a sympathy vote.

Bill Bailey tbf was another one too who kind of got patronized by some of the public and definitely by the judges in hindsight.

I'm just hypersensitive to that sort of stuff.
