i admit i did not read all the posts (many but not all) so let me just ask,
did anyone else see missteps (not in step sequences) by Tessa and Scott? I think they were even shown in slow motion. That was what surprised me after seeing their marks and overall placement.
I love both teams and find it amazing how they push each other and make this sport much more interesting.
After watching 2 times the final group I find that D&W gave a cleaner performance and in deserved 1st place in free dance. I am looking forward reading more about step sequence points as some of you stress how they determinate the winner.

Very good article on the technicalities, but I agree with you - no, one step sequence should not determine Gold. D&W's performance was more impressive on the night.
