Voting and Elimination announced

http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedan...t/voting.shtml

Here is the explanation of the voting and scoring for this series.

Looks like they have finally found a way to effectively deal with an unexpected event such as Jade and Kelly leaving the show.......a double elimination at semi final stage if there are still 5 couples in at that stage.

Well, we all know there was an effective way of dealing with it...just don't eliminate someone the week someone has to drop out! But they never went there, for some stubborn reason unknown to anyone : )

If they did that there wouldn't be any point in having a results show that week. What would the BBC schedule in its place?

Err. Why not release the figures after the series has ended (like ITV) and then that wouldn't be a problem.

i think that if someone dropped out then it would be good to have a "would have been elimination".

they did it on DWTS, someone dropped out and even though they told them no one would be eliminated they did the results anyway saying who would have gone, i.e it could give someone that extra kick up the bum to do the best performance they can

Hmmm. This way, if there's no dropping out, then the public favourite can go home in a double elimination. I would imagine they're hoping that people won't notice this.

I thought that was good on DWTS and the best way too.

Its extreamly unlikely to happen the voting would HAVE to go:

5 (judges)+2 (public)
4+3
3+4
2+1
1+5

Plus if there was tie that week then it will be impossible for public top to be in bottom 2 and go.

Never too early to start the conspiracy theories.

Is Darcy returning this series - or can we be spoiled by having a pro dancer on the panel. Karen, Camilla or Lilia please

Hi footygirl!! I haven't heard anything about a guest judge this series - but agree with you about Karen, Camilla and/or Lilia!
I loved Matt tonight - who is your favourite so far?

It's not 'unknown' to me!, if they did that, there would be no phone in and they would loose all the revenue, simple as.....

No, they just roll all the scores and votes over to the next week. Yes, it is pretty simple.

Double eliminations are bad bad bad.

Did I read this right "There will be no dance off during this series." thats a major change, yet I dont see it being discussed anywhere!

It was discussed weeks ago when it was first announced by the BBC but yes there will be NO dance off this series.

This is quite interesting:

In the event of a tie

In the unlikely event that there is a tie in the judges' scores and the public phone vote for the two or more couples at the bottom of the leaderboard the judges will confer and decide which couple will leave the show. As there are four judges, if there is a tie in the judges' vote head judge Len Goodman will have the casting vote.


Brain like mush today - so how likely is it to happen?

For the million and fiftieth time, the BBC makes no money from the phone votes.

Almost impossible.

Believe me, LT, this is NOT going to be the last time you'll see the kind of daft comment you've just pointed out...

Hmm I don't like that double elimination idea. Even if it is highly unlikely for the top vote getter to go home.

Interesting that in the final the judges will not effect the 3 couples down to 2 stage. This is better as it will not reveal if a couple is ahead of the other couple in the last 2 (Darren and Lilia for instance).

"No couple is guaranteed to be safe on viewers' votes alone however" - is that an error? Surely they mean judges' votes as whoever finishes top of the viewer votes is always safe (except in a double elimination).

It is this power of the Judges has always been a contentious issue vs public vote. As the judges can almost guarantee their favourite stays in against public opinion. Should only be the public vote when 5 or less couples.
