This is actually ridiculous that there is a thread about this. Why can't everyone accept and respect the decision made by the judges and give each team the respect they deserve?
I don't know why it's even being brought up what happened in the judges room. It's funny that you think AJ captain placing Aston 4th has some bias related to it, when none of Kings dancers are even in AJ? And these were the same judges that put Aston first last year?
If anyone was showing a bit of bias, it was this GCC judge who didn't even want to go on stage when it was decided Kings were the winners. I bet if it was Aston, he'd be the first one to volunteer to give them the trophy. Furthermore, this judge put Imperial 6th when all the judges had put Imperial 3rd, which unfortunately (or perhaps deliberately?) brought down their average so that they couldn't place.
Both sets were great and like Murali said, they bring a different appeal with them. If judges felt a team deserved to win again then they would win just like how GCC has won twice, Ishan has won best male twice, UoB/Imperial have consistently placed or won pre 2016. It's a decision that needs to be respected, rather than having bad vibes surrounding it. Some people in this scene just can't accept it when teams or dancers are considered better than them and sadly, this is just making the scene a more political and unfriendly place to be honest.
