Would you change the voting system next year?

My suggestion is that the voting system be changed so that the public (popularity) vote can no longer turn the leader board upside down which IMO has always been a ridiculous situation...

I would suggest that the way forward should be that the public vote simply carries the same weight as two additional judges. That is:- two thirds of the vote being based of the judges and one third on the public vote.

My first priority would be to get rid of the time-wasting and often anti-climactic DO.

I see no evidence that it has improved the show and I'm not at all convinced that the alleged 'protection' it gives to the better dancers isn't seriously undermined by less obvious compensating factors...notably the silly way they allocate points now when there are ties.

Also I like the principle that the winner of the televote always survives...which isn't the case with the DO.

I second that.

Also, I don't want to see the voting system tampered with. It's fine as it is.

I like the uncertainty and drama of it all.
