Guys I really need your help on this - I have heard a whisper that a different scoring method could be used on Staurday that would make it nigh on impossible for the bottom couple to escape the dance off. Also I have heard that they are still humming and hawing over a two or three couple final

Please will you all sign this petition - I was advised that if we get as many people wanting a 3 couple final we may just get what we want

Please sign below (And if there is a different scoring method used on saturday I am calling in OFCOM)seeing as we know how biased the judges are towards Ali - and definately not with Chris or Laila

Is this petition for a three couple final or for not changing the scoring method?

I suppose it is for both - apologoes for not updating the thread lead

No problem. I only want one and am not bothered about the other, so I'm a bit scuppered really. Not to worry, it's not exactly life or death.

Well I'll add my support for the 3 couple final, although not so bothered about the scoring system.

Don't expect it to make the slightest bit of difference though.

I emailed the BBC after Jade left complaining about this blundering towards a 2 person final and how having a dance off in the later stages can lead to unfairness if the public favourite is not one of the better dancers...so I think I have done my bit.

Surely the scoring system was chnaged this year to avoid that very scenario (like happened to Tom last year)

Why on earth should they want to change it back?

Can OP be clearer?
Whispers don't mean much.

Count me in but I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day...it's been the same threads and arguments now for two years when I think we can all happily accept the old first past the post majority vote system. I can't understand the control freakery on this side when Cowell can give the vote to the public. They're not even dancing for a professional contract for God's sake.

I totally agree.

I'm in.

Strictly producers - prove me wrong and show you do listen to the public!

I'll sign. It's obvious who will be in the final if it's only two couples - the judges will be sure to rig it towards Ali and Ricky.

Me too - I hate 2 couple finals, they seem to me to be more about endurance than dance

I’ll sign on, for a 3 couple final. It’s much, much better for everyone involved imo.

At the end of a two couple final, they’re so tired they can’t really sell their show dance. I really hope they don’t go down this route again.

I have heard the same whispers and basically it is still possible for the 4th place person to not make the final with the most votes if they have a big difference in points to the others. The judges could decide who they want in advance and sort out the points making it virtually impossible for the public to get a person through. You need the scores to be about 1-2 difference from top to bottom for it to really work.

They say it has changed and it reads like it has changed but in reality the Judges still choose.

Thanks for the support guys - keeeeeeeeep signing

Now if we could just get this thread to the PTB - they would see that we have rumbled them - and here's another word they wont like - OFCOM would have kittens about this as it goes against T & C

Three couple final - add me to the list too!

New scoring method - they already used one, last weekend, and that was bad enough. If they're meddling yet again - outrageous.


Edit: didn't you do another thread about 2/3 couple final a couple of weeks ago? Perhaps some of the people who put their names on that list might be willing to sign this one too if you pm them?

Will they ever learn to keep their noses out of it Just for the sake of controversy and publicity- they are outrageous.

Spread the word everyone - the more signatures on this the better(PM on way to you Strictly Red)
