I am livid. It's such a fix. I think Pamela is amazing don't get me wrong but there is now way she is better than Kara or matt??

Does Pamela have some juicy gossip on the judges? Are they scared of Billy?

The leaderboard has been rigged up so that either matt or Scott will go with Gavin. It makes me not want to watch these shows as it makes no difference who the public like as the producers and judges just engineer it.

If I was matt or Kara tonight I wod be fuming

Kara is the better dancer, but Pamela makes fewer mistakes.

pamela makes fewer mistakes because her routines are easier - and yet Len claims he likes people who 'dance on the edge'
she doesn't have the style or grace of kara either

Exactly. That quickstep was not light nor was it quick. She is amazing for her age but cannot compete with matt or kara. It's not a conspiracy theory it's a fact that judges are made to fix scores. Craigs ten proved that

Considering Craig was quick to pick up on Kara's lift yet didn't bother to comment or mark Pamela's gapping says a lot.

Pamela's 10s were completely ridiculous.

If it was that rigged they wouldn't have a tie on the leaderboard which makes it much more likely for her to go.

The judges have to mark to certain criteria, though, don't they, deducting marks for things that wouldn't necessarily bother us at home? I'd give Kara tens every week because I enjoy her dances more than anyone else's, but Pamela (who is also astonishingly good, btw) is delivering what the judges need, evidently.

I admit there is some engineering in Strictly, this has been evident for several series, but to compare it with XFactor levels of public manipulation is a bit OTT!!

Len doesnt organise a sudden "dance off" to keep his fav's out of the vote off does he??

The reason they overmark her is that she is doing badly in the publuc vote and they are trying to keep him in the competition

I was referring to the Most Venerable One and Supreme Ruler of the Universe (and ITV/tabloids) but I'm sure your comparison also applies!

Well it was suddenly introduced the week before the semis series 4. Lo and behold, sacrifice Louisa to keep the Bunton in. I'm not bitter, me

I would just give up, if I were you. Logic is not going to win. Conspiracy it is!

If you like all of them, you can actually see why the judges did what they did (and I might be the only one, but Kara's rumba was not very emotional, Rachel was so much better). I'm just now waiting for someone telling me that Gavin is undermarked tonight, because his viennese waltz was a revelation.

I am really furious about Craig giving Pamela a 10. And couldn't agree more that If Len thinks taking risks makes a great dancer, where was the risk in that Quickstep or her Viennese Waltz come to that? How can Craig dish out two 10s to her when he refused one to Ramps?!

LOL I agree with you here. This sh*t happens every year.

Perhaps the producers are angling for a mature female winner this year! She is a good mover, she remembers the choreography, but no way is she as good as Matt or Kara.

Engineering at its finest - it is SHOW BUSINESS and it stinks. The judging this year has been VERY VERY POOR IMPO

I feel the same way - Craig's 10s are more rare than hen's teeth which is fine if he's consistent.

He's given 9s consistently when other judges have scored 10, and found picky reasons for his choice - never happens with Pamela.

Gavin was under....ha gotcha! Still love Gav though and he's got a fighting chance with that tie on the board!
