No update on Ali's injury on ITT tonight - Strictly Come Dancing

doesmyheadin · 26-11-2009, 20:27

Unless I missed it Claudia didn't mention how things were with Ali's ankle. Rather surprising considering only last night
it appeared it was bad enough to prevent her carrying on.
All we were told was she had practiced 8 hours.
So how is the training going? What do the doctors say?
How is her ankle, and is it going to be OK when she tries to cope with the speed of the Charleston. Answers please BBC.
We are interested you know!

Probably because there's nothing much to update.

....or change of tactics....

Wednesday Brian went on practically in tears because he saw his chance for the glitterball trophy slip through his fingers in a matter of days...that had a backlash on the forums (not everyone sympathizing but also people feeling Ali should leave if she would not be able to dance on Saturday) and I reckon they didn't want to milk 'the injury' for another night.

Obviously it wasn't as bad as he first made out, because how else could Ali have managed to practice 8 hours (!) just a few days after she supposedly almost ripped her leg off

...

Wouldn't be surprised if they are scored right up into the heavens by the judges on Saturday....

Something odd's going on here.....

sent my message twice..oops

It didn't look like her sort of dance on the VT just before she fell, although it would have been early days.....

bobbla · 27-11-2009, 08:48

Same reasons as there was no update on Jade - the BBC think it makes it more interesting or something

The footage was prior to the injury by the look of it and quite misleading

The footage was extremely misleading. If you hadn't watched ITT the night before you would not even know there was a problem!

mossy2103 · 27-11-2009, 14:36

Yes, it was explained that the injury came after that footage (and I presume after the 8 hours training)

icequeen · 27-11-2009, 17:09

i find the whole thing weird - brian's mum hasnt even commented on it on her blog yet.......
wonder why Ali wasnt on the show the other night....

According to the Mail, she only managed one hour of rehearsal today before having to stop because she was in too much pain.
