Donny Osmond was a disgrace for the show tonight and offensive to those celebrities who put real effort into real dancing. What a joke.>:(

Not totally true. If you look at the other judges scores without Donny's then they would all be in the same place on the board except Scott who is now just above Judy & Jennifer rather than equal with them. As Scott has a huge fan base I can't see it making any difference.
I think he was being ironic about Jake but it seems to have gone over the heads of people
:cool:
In awe of people who can do that maths stuff... :cool:
I thought he was just wrong in every single way!
He was... Overmarked everyone until Jake and Janette (and then I think he undermarked them because that was a bloody beautiful waltz!) and then did okay scoring for a while before overmarking Mark at the end... Whatever he's using to score the celebrities on, it certainly isn't their dancing!
I also did the maths as i was so cross.
Amazing that it almost certainly won't make a difference.... (famous last words...)
I'm filling in time whilst waiting for the spoiler to come in, so here are the dancers’ scores, in leader board order, with Donny Osmond’s score subtracted:
Frankie- 45-10=35
Pixie- 43-9=34
Caroline- 42-9=33
Jake- 40-8=32
Sunetra- 40-8=32
Thom- 38-7=31
Mark- 35-9=26
Steve- 34-6=28
Simon- 30-7=23
Alison- 28-7=21
Scott 25-7=18
Jennifer 23-5=18
Judy 23-5=18
Tim 22-5=17
So, as I mentioned elsewhere, the positions remain the same for everyone except for Mark and Steve, so here’s hoping that neither of them end up in the Dance Off, which I rather doubt. So the 5th judge’s eccentric marking doesn't seem to have changed much.
Very good point- but his scoring, however inflated, was in line with the final scores except for Mark and Steve, so you'd hope that neither of them would be in the DO. Unless, of course, he had another voting spasm and decided to go rogue again.
Like you said it is Mark and Steve who are the only ones who change, however I believe you are wrong about them being in the dance off, what it actually changes is the people who would be higher without those scores, say if Steve was in the dance off, the one position change can make all the difference. The ones at the bottom I don't think would matter and tbh they need to start going soon anyway.
I thought he was going to replace a judge that couldn't be there.
Okay thanks for that - wasn't concentrating!
He shouldn't have been invited at all. Haven't the BBC learned from the Alesha fiasco that asking former contestants (albeit winners) on SCD or DWTS just doesn't work - and to keep going on about they know what the contestants are going through rubbish is just a feeble excuse to try and justify them being there. I would think even the professional judges would have a good idea.
They should only have another judge on the panel if whatever reason Len, Craig, Darcey or Bruno are unable to be there and it should be somebody with a bit of credibility - there must be hundreds of people better qualified and much nearer to home than Donny Osmond. Hope the BBC are slated for this - they should be!
I agree, he was a total waste of space. Who came up with the idea of having him on the show as a judge anyway ? If they thought it would enhance the show, they couldn't have been more wrong.
