Is it sadly time we voted who we wanted to leave?

Hi everyone, I have read these lovely forums on so many occasions and I rarely comment if at all.
Alas it seems to me, and has for many years now with these competitions while the judges whether I agree with or not grade on what they perceive as performance or the emotions in the moments but still measured in at-least some professional regard .
Yet public is encouraged always to vote for their favourites rather than someone that doesn't in our opinion deserve to dance next week. This may be probable as more may vote for a favourite.
I and many, many of you have too, observed countless opinions over time and see more people want to bemoan rather than give praise.
So sadly I think it is time to vote for those that we feel does not deserve to dance or sing or what ever next week. I fear this may actually make more money for those involved and for semi-finals on ward vote for favourites.
So in a long winded opinion of mine, voting should represent, I believe should be for those we want to see leave.
What do others feel? Oh and Thank You for reading (mulled wine raised to you all).

If we are to be encouraged to vote for our "favourites", then decide the elimination on the public vote alone, and ignore the judges' scores.
Or how about we vote to "save" our favourites - automatically exclude from the public vote the couples in the top half of the leaderboard. Or say here are the four couples that the judges ranked lowest, from this four vote for the couple you want to save.
When the first of type (Pop Idol) was launched in 2001, the initial plan was to vote to eliminate, but just before the first live show it was changed to a "favourite" vote, and rightly so. They realised (from what happens on Big Brother) that with a negative vote people were more likely to vote tactically, and the boring/mediocre/quiet contestants could end up in the final as no-one cared enough to vote them out.
Does it really matter who leaves Strictly and who doesn't anyway? It's just a fluffy TV show. They'll all get eliminated from the competition eventually, and will all return to their day jobs. These shock bottom 2 placings add to the show's excitement and unpredictability.
Owdoo Pash,
Your writing ain't as good as your speeken Inglish innit, but sorry you left, mate.
You lost to worse couples in the vote, but the A team clinched it in the dance off.
Sad you were both there, but unless they ditch the viewer vote, it's always a risk.
To the rest of the series ( for you as a pro) ad I hope another celeb for you next year.
Na dzarovia, please excuse my pronunciation.
We don't want to turn it into Big Brother.
Thank you all for positive NO to title, but perhaps because we love fairness and dancing.
No no no. The judges can't have that kind of power. For good or bad the public vote is sacrosanct.
Last week I was sad to see Deborah leave & a bit sad to see Rachel go but they were never going to win.
Abbey shouldn't be so low in the public vote but she obviously was (she had to be bottom of the vote except for possibly Rachel) and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Well tonight put an end to fairness and dancing????
During the time we have big shows and a lot of celebrities I think we should have some celebrities that by their score are deemed safe and have an automatic pass to next week.
We the public vote for say the bottom half and then it's a true vote
So week one 15 celebrities you have say nine go through and we vote for the bottom six and two go in the dance off.
When we have ten celebrities then four automatically go through six are at risk, the public know their all at risk so it's a true vote,
This will end when there are fewer celebrities left.
This way:-
Exactly - given how many people don't believe Natalie should be in the competition, she would probably end up in the dance-off every week!
1. The end objective each week is to eliminate a couple so why not amend the voting question to reflect the objective?
2. More transparency. We would all get a clearer idea as to the public voting motivation imo. Nowhere to hide.
Big Brother got ruined by the "tween vote" who hate younger women (with personality) and older men.
Thus Big Brother became a contest between older "mumsy types", bland younger women, and "hot guys".
I agree
In the first few weeks celebs always get voted off before their time but that's the vaugeries of lots of celebs in the first few weeks. By the time December comes around the best are always left to fight it out. Rachel would not have got anywhere near the final.
Let the GBP have their fun. Some people take it waaaay too seriously.
Never voted, never will. Waste of money.
I agree.
