I'd say that still fits with my answer. If you have one image that it can't align it will be sitting on the preview in it's default orientation.

I don't know if this is the problem but:All of the pictures were taken in portrait orientation. In the control point tab all of the images except one are in a landscape orientation. The one image that is in that orientation is the last image in that series and it is the image that is stretched. Does that have any bearing in this problem?

------------------------------Double check that you do indeed have control points between every single image. It sounds like you might have a single image that isn't connected in any way, or maybe only partially connected and when it stitches it end up placed on top of all your other images. The preview is just an OpenGL preview of what you can expect to get but it works differently than the final stitch so you can often times get different results if your control points aren't all perfect.
You can check your layout tab in the fast panorama preview (the GL preview button) and play with the scale. The layout tab will quickly show you how your images are connected together and how well. If you have any images that are just floating out there with no lines then that's your culprit. You will also want to look for images with very thin lines going between the images. Thin lines represent weak connections and you will need to increase the number of control points between your images.
There is also a high probability, since you said you hand held the camera when you took the pictures that even though you picked matching spots in the image that there is no way for the program to warp the images correctly due to parallax distortion. If your images are of the inside of a room, that's almost certainly the case.
Finding the no parallax point:

I've got 2 of them; one made by Manfrotto that cost a lot of money and is built like a tank and I think it might weigh as much as a tank as well. I've also got a Nodal Ninja that I really like that weighs a lot less, which is why I got it, and does an equally good job for a fraction of the money.

I'm trying to do a panorama. It found at least 17 control points between images 0,1 and 2,3 and 3,4 (each pair had 17). I had to go in and put control points for images 1 and 2. That was fine but when I stitch it all together the picture on the ball seems fine but the resultin panorama image is one of the five photos of the panorama stretched out. Any ideas how to fix this?
