Is It Really A Coincidence That High Profile BBC "Stars" Keep On Getting Over Marked?

I don't think it is. The latest person being way overmarked and overrated is Jake Wood and I have lost count of how many other "high profile" BBC people have been overated/overmarked and given an easy ride by the judges.
It should never have been allowed in the first palce and its gone on long enough and now it must stop and treat BBC people the same as non BBC people.

They can't over rate people who are just not that good but the ones who are average at best to start off with keep on getting 7 plus and Jake Wood got nine's?!!! PLEASE!
His hips could have cracked cocanuts?!
Steady now, don't go bringing facts into a DS SCD conspiracy theory. Imagine if common sense prevailed!
And first to be booted off. Theory gone.
As an "observation" BBC stars seem to do well in Strictly and they like at least one of them to stay in as long as possible.
It's good PR for them, innit?
It could be suggested that the BBC pack both the contestants and the audience, with "their people".......... Well, it is their show.
Someone will have the figures, to prove it one way or another..
They should have tied them down with compensation if they left. Just like paying for somebody's MBA.
I could look up the long list of BBC people that get overrated about but I don't need to with this one.....Susanna Reid!
They were wowing about her from the off even when she done that cartwheel that went so cringeworthingly wrong and I think it was the jive which was so safe and not very good imo where again, they well overrated her and well over raved about that one too, so no, no theory gone at all. Do you lot defending this work for SCD or the BBC or something?
I'm no fan of the scoring, some of the scores on Saturday were difficult to understand to my untrained eye but I don't believe there is any BBC bias.
Which is an average of 7. All I remember is no matter howaverage or not very good her dances were imo, the judges looked wowed and wowed her virtually every time if not every week. I like her so I didn't slate her at the time but its just so getting silly with Jake Wood and his nine scores!
Jake's dance on Saturday was up there with Sophie's charleston and Harry's quickstep, I've only been watching a few years having previously been an X factor viewer.
Jake's dance on Saturday was a real showstopper ~ for gods sake give the guy some credit for training damn hard and having natural talent......he was more deserving of a 9 than Judy Murray was of staying in the competition! GO JAKE!!!
I've watched most of the series from the begining and that was overrated as were/are a lot of the many BBC people that appear on the show.
*cough* Susannah Reid *cough*
Pixie Lott, on the other hand, was certainly overmarked.
Jake got nine scores? Now that is favouritism! Why should he get more scores than the others? Never mind, Donny Osmond's on this week so everyone gets more scores. Every cloud and all that...
As to Jake, I don't like his EE character, so was prepared to dislike him in SCD (so call me shallow) but I've been very impressed! As to the 9s, and any other scores for that matter, I take them to be valid only within that particular episode. So was Jake's dance an ontological 9, once and for all time? Don't know. Was it a 9 in the context of second dance, first elimination episode - absolutely.

This - BIB. Especially as many of the "BBC people" are self employed.
I thought it shoud have been the other way around and Pixie to have got some 9s. Another example of over marking for certain BBC "stars".
