What the hell was that?!
Tonights show was a farce!
I know Brucie cant help being ill, but the BBC should really have been better prepared for tonight. WTF was Ronnie Corbett doing there?! What was the point of that? He didnt do anything and his jokes made Bruce's look good. Why dont the BBC just have a notice accross the bottom of the screen saying "Watch the X Factor instead. We've given up" Why has Jade been given a free pass to next week but Laila, who was also in agony was not. How is that fair? They should have canceled tonights dance off and let them all go through. What a joke |

Jade's injury was much more serious. The doctors gave Laila the all clear to dance.

It goes to show the show can live on without Bruce Forsyth.

I must say, I think that demonstrated how much of a contribution, for all his obvious dodderiness, Bruce makes. His personality and even his very crap jokes are important for strictly, He is a big focal point that this lacked.
I do agree the Beeb should have a much better contingency plan in place, though. I mean, Bruce is old and they should be prepared for him to get ill. Just makes sense. |

What a joke Jade's knee cap popped out of the socket, did you expecvt her do dance with such an injury? |

That was a terrific show tonight.
Maybe the X Factor is more suited to your tastes? Im really not suprised most people would rather watch John and Edward murder whatever they are singing. |

I agree Ronnie Corbett was completely unneccessary, but I thought Tess and Claudia were fine together as presenters, I didn't miss Bruce at all.

Does anyone really read these forums and other replies. The point for Ronnie was to fill in the jokes which Bruce does. I think the BBC also wanted a well known friend and collegue of Bruce. Maybe Ronnie is due for something big also soon on TV?

Where was Paul O'Grady or Graham Norton? They could have done a good job, they have big personalities it would work. Bruce is 82 and they really need to be thinking about either have a stand in on hand or getting rid of him and finding someone younger.
How many presenters are there that can come in at 24 hours notice? |

You are assuming that Strictly keep Paul O'Grady and Graham Norton in a big glass cage marked "Break in case of emergency".

Yes, it was said on the show. It was a sprain but Jade's knee cap popped out.
They should have done what has been done in the past on DWTS when someone is injured and show the rehersal footage as it is fairer on all contestants if all competing couples are part of the vote. As for Len vote - if shows why the vote should be thrown back to the public Tuffers should never have left tonight If Jade is still injured she won't get another free pass she will be kicked out which means the dreaded 2 person final Missed Brucie tonight though Tess and esp Claudia done a great job didn't get what Ronnie Corbett was there for |

What a joke With only six complete dances, one contestant unable to take part, another unable to complete her routine..it would have been fairer to let them all go through. |

Doesn't Paul O'Grady work for C4 anyway? Would he even be an option for a one-off for the BBC?
